Ezviz EP3x Pro review: This solar-powered doorbell with 2K video and no hidden costs truly wowed me

EZVIZ has raised the bar with its latest doorbell, featuring its first-ever dual-lens camera.

I’ve tested it in this EZVIZ EP3x Pro review to see if it’s a must-have for home security.

I’ve tested plenty of smart home devices, but security is where they really prove their worth.

Everyone wants to feel safe at home, but setting up a full-on security system can be a hassle, not to mention expensive.

That’s why Ezviz’s solar-powered video doorbell caught my attention.

This handy gadget keeps an eye on the front door without the faff of battery changes or complicated setup; you just let the sun power it.

Ezviz is known for its affordable, user-friendly security cameras, and this doorbell sticks to that formula.

With crisp 2K video, smart alerts, and 24/7 monitoring, it promises a fuss-free experience.

I put it to the test to see if it’s as hassle-free as it sounds and how it stacks up against the big names in smart security.

Read on for my full thoughts.

Pros

  • Easy installation, with flexible mounting options
  • Solar-powered, reducing the need for frequent charging
  • Excellent video quality
  • Generous storage at no extra cost

Cons

  • Bulky design
  • Occasional lag in notifications

Rating: 8/10

How I tested the Ezviz EP3x Pro

I mounted the EP3x Pro with the self-adhesive strips and have been testing it for just over a week now.

It’s set up on the porch by my front door, with the solar panel above soaking up as much sunlight as possible.

To make the most of its features, I enabled intelligent AI detection, which sends alerts when someone’s spotted.

With frequent deliveries and family coming and going, it’s had plenty of action.

Ezviz EP3x Pro review: Quickfire Q&A

How much is the Ezviz EP3x Pro? It’s on the pricy side at £129.99, but you’ll find it on sale for £99.99 on Ezviz’s Amazon storefront.

Who’s it best for? It’s ideal for anyone who wants a budget-friendly, easy-to-install video doorbell with great features like solar power, free cloud storage, and no hidden costs.

What we loved: Easy setup, clear 2K video with colour night vision, free cloud storage, solar power, and two-way talk.

What we didn’t: The design is bulky and may not suit every door, and there’s the occasional notification delay.

Ezviz EP3x Pro review: The Nitty Gritty

First Impressions

Straight out of the box, the Ezviz EP3x Pro makes a strong first impression. 

The modern design, solid metal casing, and large button give it a premium feel. 

It definitely looks the part, but there’s no getting around its size, at 5cm wide, it’s quite bulky, so anyone coming to your door won’t miss it.

It comes with two mounting brackets: one angled to give a better view of visitors and another that sits flush against the wall. 

There’s also two installation options, either screw it in place or use the included self-adhesive strips for smooth surfaces.

I opted for the later on my door frame, and the whole setup took just minutes from unboxing to installation.

The strips are impressively strong, I know this because I decided to reposition the doorbell away from my handle, and it took some real effort to remove. 

Thankfully, it didn’t leave any residue and stuck just as firmly the second time around.

Charging is flexible too; you can either plug it in via USB-C or use the solar panel to let the sun do the work.

I wanted to see how well the solar option performed, so I positioned it just above the door to soak up as much sunlight as possible.

Getting it connected to the Ezviz app was just as easy.

After downloading the app and setting up an account, I was guided through everything with clear, step-by-step instructions.

In minutes, I had a live view of my front door; no need to hunt for a Philips screwdriver or mess around with wiring. 

So from the off, its delivered on its promise.

What makes this doorbell even smarter is its cameras, including three angled towards the step at its base.

That means I’ll know exactly when a parcel arrives while I’m out and can keep an eye on it until I get back.

Does it deliver?

When the camera detects motion, you get a notification on your phone via the app, so you can see who’s at your door. 

It works really well, I even got a few less-than-flattering images of myself while installing the doorbell, so I know it’s doing its job.

It’s also handy for responding to visitors in real time, and I’ve used the two-way talk function to tell delivery drivers where to leave my parcels, keeping them out of sight.

Now and then, there was a slight delay between the doorbell being pressed and the app sending the notification. 

So, on the rare occasion, I missed a call, but most of the time everything ran smoothly.

The live view quality and what the EP3x Pro captures when motion is detected are both clear and impressive. 

I opted for the colour night vision, and even though the lighting around my rural spot isn’t great, the footage was still clear and surprisingly good.

One of my favorite features of the Ezviz doorbell is that it comes with up to six months of video storage, thanks to the included 32GB of built-in storage. 

That’s not something you always get, especially since competitors like Ring tend to hide these features behind a paywall.

Getting storage included from the start, without extra costs, was a big win for me.

You can also keep an eye on the battery life in the app.

So far, the solar power is working well, and my battery is sitting at around 70% and hasn’t budged since I set it up. 

I haven’t needed to charge it yet, but it’s good to know the option to plug it in with a USB-C cable is there if needed.

How much is the Ezviz EP3x Pro?

You can pick up an Ezviz video doorbell starting at £79.99, with the pro models going up to £129.99, which is pretty much in line with big names like Ring. 

While that might seem like a lot for a lesser-known brand, there are a few things that make it worth considering.

The EP3x Pro model comes with solar power and a dual lens, and what’s better, it comes with 32GB of free cloud storage with no subscriptions or hidden costs. 

So, from day one, it starts paying for itself.

Where to buy the Ezviz EP3x Pro

If you’re looking to buy the Ezviz EP3x Pro, there are a few places where you can grab it online.

The official Ezviz website and Amazon are the main go-tos, but you can also find it on sites like eBay.

It’s always worth checking around for the best deal.

Alternatives

There’s no shortage of options when it comes to video doorbells

When it comes to video doorbells, brands like Ring and Blink dominate the market.

Most offer rechargeable batteries or wired installation, but few provide a sleek, solar-powered option like Ezviz.

For similar features, such as a quality camera, night vision, and wide field of view, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus or Blink Video Doorbell are natural alternatives.

If you’re after a more budget-friendly option, the Sharkpop offers 1080p video, two-way talk, and night vision for just £18.99.

Alternatively, keep an eye out for sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday, when you can score a big-name brand at a better price.

Ezviz EP3x Pro review: The verdict

The Ezviz EP3x Pro is a solid, budget-friendly smart doorbell offering easy installation, impressive 2K video quality, and up to six months of free storage.

Its solar power option and two-way talk feature are standout perks, but the bulky design and occasional notification delays may be drawbacks for some.

Overall, it’s a great value, especially considering the lack of hidden costs.
