EZVIZ CB2 Wi-Fi Smart Home Battery Camera (Black): Compact 1080p Security That Goes Anywhere
Some security cameras announce themselves the moment you walk into a room. The EZVIZ CB2 does the opposite. At just 50.5 × 39.1 × 39.1 mm and weighing under 87 grams, this camera is barely larger than a golf ball. It sits on a shelf, sticks to a fridge, or mounts to any metal surface via its detachable magnetic base, and most visitors won't even notice it's there.
Small size doesn't mean compromised footage. The 1/2.8-inch 2MP CMOS sensor behind a 4 mm F1.6 lens captures full 1080p video (1920 × 1080) with a 100° diagonal field of view. During the day, images are sharp and colour-accurate. After dark, infrared LEDs provide clear night vision up to 5 metres with an automatic IR-cut filter that switches seamlessly as light levels change. 3D digital noise reduction cleans up the image in low light, so you're not squinting at grainy footage trying to work out what moved.
The CB2 runs on a built-in 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery that lasts up to 50 days on a single charge under typical use. That battery independence means the camera keeps recording during load shedding or power outages when most wired cameras go dark. Footage saves to a microSD card (up to 512 GB) stored inside the camera itself, so even if your internet drops at the same time, nothing is lost. For offsite backup, optional EZVIZ CloudPlay cloud storage is available on a subscription basis.
False alerts are the fastest way to make someone ignore their security notifications entirely. The CB2 addresses this with a PIR motion sensor paired with a human-shape detection algorithm that filters out pets, curtains blowing, and shifting shadows. You receive a push notification when an actual person appears in frame, not every time the cat jumps off the couch. Alert zones are fully customisable, so you can focus detection on a doorway or window and exclude high-movement areas.
Connectivity runs over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) with WPA2 encryption, and the camera pairs through the EZVIZ App on iOS or Android. Two-way audio lets you talk back through the camera's speaker, which makes the CB2 practical as a baby monitor, a pet check-in camera, or a way to tell the delivery driver where to leave a parcel. Voice assistant integration lets you pull up a live feed on a smart display hands-free.
The magnetic base on this model delivers 200% stronger holding force compared to the previous generation, which eliminates the worry of the camera slowly sliding out of position on a vertical surface. Video compresses using H.265 or H.264 encoding at up to 15 fps, keeping file sizes manageable without sacrificing usable detail. The camera needs only 1 Mbps of upload bandwidth to stream reliably, which is well within reach of most South African home internet connections.
