EZVIZ cameras are smart cameras that usually connect over Wi-Fi, are managed from a phone app and record to a memory card inside the camera itself. That makes them a good fit for a home, a villa, a small shop or an office that needs a handful of cameras without a control room or a central recorder.
This guide covers the EZVIZ models AZEIDK supplies in Saudi Arabia, their differences per the official datasheets, and when a professional CCTV system is the better choice.
Key takeaways
- AZEIDK supplies 11 EZVIZ models (across 13 product pages) as part of its security and surveillance solutions: fixed and pan-tilt indoor cameras, and fixed and pan-tilt outdoor cameras with one, two or three lenses.
- Resolution ranges from 1080p on the entry-level indoor models to 4K on the C8c.
- Most models use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; the C8c and TY7 support dual-band Wi-Fi 6, and many have an RJ45 port.
- Local recording goes to a microSD card, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB to 512 GB depending on the model.
- Facilities covered by the Saudi surveillance camera law should check their required specifications first.

What do EZVIZ cameras offer?
An EZVIZ camera is a self-contained unit with a lens, microphone, memory card slot and, on most models, a speaker for two-way talk. It needs only power and Wi-Fi; live view, recordings and alerts run in the app. For several models EZVIZ also lists CloudPlay, a subscription cloud service available only in certain markets.
A professional CCTV system is different: IP cameras, an NVR (network video recorder), PoE switches and a site-wide coverage plan. AZEIDK supplies those from brands such as Hikvision. For the difference between IP and analog cameras, see our IP vs analog CCTV comparison.
EZVIZ models available from AZEIDK
Values come from EZVIZ’s official datasheets and can vary between versions, so check the full model code (for example CS-C8c-R210-8H8WFL) on the quotation. Where AZEIDK’s product page does not state the version or resolution (for example the C1C-B, C3TN, CS-TY1, TY7, H80f and the H9c dual-lens page), the values are those of the version in the cited EZVIZ datasheet; confirm the supplied version with AZEIDK.

Indoor home cameras: fixed or pan-tilt?
Fixed cameras: C1C-B and C1HC
A fixed camera suits a room or corridor with a known view. The 1080p version of the C1C-B has a 2.8 mm lens (108° diagonal), 12 m night vision, microSD up to 256 GB and two-way talk. The 1080p C1HC has a 130° diagonal view, so it covers more from the same spot, also with 12 m night vision.
Pan-tilt cameras: C6TC, H6C and CS-TY1
A pan-tilt camera turns on command from the app, so one unit can cover a living room. The C6TC pans 340° and tilts 90°, has night vision up to 10 m, smart motion tracking and a privacy shutter that closes the lens. The H6C adds auto-tracking, a privacy sleep mode and a wired port. EZVIZ makes the TY1 in several resolutions (the 2K version pans 340°, tilts 55° and patrols up to 4 saved points), so state the version on the quotation.
Dual-lens indoor camera: TY7
The TY7 pairs a fixed 2.8 mm wide lens with a 6 mm pan-tilt lens that follows a detected person, at up to 2560×1440. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6, microSD up to 512 GB and a one-touch call button. EZVIZ classes it as indoor.
Outdoor cameras for shop fronts and villa entrances
Fixed IP67 cameras: H3-2K and C3TN
For an entrance or shop front, a fixed camera is usually enough. EZVIZ lists the H3-2K at 2304×1296 with a 2.8 or 4 mm lens, IR night vision up to 30 m plus a colour night mode, AI person and vehicle detection, and an IP67 rating (dust and water resistant). The datasheet for the 1080p C3TN also lists IP67 with night vision up to 30 m. It has a microphone but no speaker, so it does not support two-way talk.
Pan-tilt cameras with one or more lenses: C8c, H9c and H80f
For a larger area such as a villa courtyard, a pan-tilt camera helps. The C8c records in 4K, pans 350° and tilts 90°, offers colour night vision with two spotlights and 30 m black-and-white night vision, and tracks people with auto-zoom.
The H9c has two lenses: a fixed 2.8 mm wide lens that holds the overall view and a 6 mm pan-tilt lens that follows movement, with 350° pan and 80° tilt. One of AZEIDK’s two H9c pages describes it as 5 MP. EZVIZ lists 2880×1620 as the maximum resolution of the H9c Dual 3K and 2304×1296 for the 2K version, so confirm the supplied version with AZEIDK. The H80f has three lenses (2.8, 6 and 12 mm), hybrid zoom up to 12× and an IP67 rating.
The official pages for the C8c and H9c give no numeric IP rating and describe the design only as weatherproof. If an IP rating is part of your specification, choose a model with a published rating, such as the H3-2K, C3TN or H80f.
EZVIZ cameras in retail shops: matching the model to each spot
A small shop usually needs four positions: door, cash counter, sales floor, and stockroom or back door. Layout and angles are covered in our CCTV placement and coverage guide. A typical match looks like this:
- Door, from inside: a fixed wide-angle camera such as the C1HC, aimed at faces and away from backlight through the glass front.
- Cash counter: a fixed camera close to the counter to record handovers.
- Sales floor: a pan-tilt camera such as the C6TC or H6C, or the TY7 if you want a wide view and tracking at the same time.
- Shop front and pavement: an outdoor camera such as the H3-2K, or the H80f for longer distances.
The Saudi law on surveillance cameras
The Law on the Use of Security Surveillance Cameras was issued by Royal Decree No. M/34 dated 7/3/1444H (October 2022), as published in the Umm Al-Qura official gazette and set out in our summary of the law. Covered locations include commercial and tourism sites, residential buildings, food services and fuel stations; cameras must run around the clock and recordings must be kept. Saudipedia’s summary states that the law does not apply to cameras inside private residential units, and that installation is prohibited in places including changing rooms, restrooms and women’s salons and clubs.
If your business is covered, review the conditions and specifications document for your facility (camera specs, retention, connection) before buying, and do not assume a home camera meets it or fails it. In clothing shops, never point a camera at the fitting rooms.
Network, storage and installation in hot weather
Wi-Fi or cable?
Most models use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only; the C8c and TY7 add 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6. A wired RJ45 port is available on the H6C, TY7, H3-2K, C3TN, C8c, H9c and H80f. A cable to an outdoor camera gives a steadier link than Wi-Fi through walls.
Memory card storage
The stated maximum microSD capacity is 128 GB on the C6TC; 256 GB on the C1C-B, C1HC, H6C and C3TN; and 512 GB on the TY7, H3-2K, C8c, H9c and H80f. The card sits inside the camera, so a stolen or damaged camera takes its recording with it, which matters in a shop.
Power and operating temperature
Indoor models use a 5 V adapter and outdoor models a 12 V adapter. The datasheets give an upper operating temperature of 45 °C for most indoor models (55 °C for the C6TC), 50 °C for the C8c, H9c, H80f and C3TN, and 60 °C for the H3-2K. In a Saudi summer a camera in direct sun runs hotter than the air, so mount it in shade or under the canopy.
Common mistakes when choosing and installing EZVIZ cameras
- Fitting an indoor model such as the TY7 or C6TC on an exposed facade.
- Relying on Wi-Fi through concrete walls instead of the wired port.
- Buying a memory card larger than the model supports.
- Aiming the door camera at a bright street, so faces look dark.
- Installing a camera in a fitting room or another place where the law prohibits filming.
- Using home cameras in a covered facility without checking the specifications required of it.
- A weak or shared account password.
How AZEIDK can help
AZEIDK supplies the EZVIZ models above as part of its security and surveillance solutions, with supply, installation and technical support. AZEIDK also ran an EZVIZ training programme with EZVIZ for its installation teams. Beyond what home cameras can do, we propose an IP system with a central recorder.
Frequently asked questions
Do EZVIZ cameras work without internet?
It records to its memory card, but remote viewing and alerts need the network and the app.
Which EZVIZ camera is best for a shop front?
For one fixed spot, an IP67 camera such as the H3-2K or C3TN. For long distances or zoom, the H80f. Distance, lighting and cabling decide.
What is the difference between a dual-lens camera and a standard pan-tilt camera?
A standard pan-tilt camera sees one direction at a time. Dual-lens models such as the TY7 and H9c keep one lens on the whole scene while the other follows movement.
Are home cameras enough for a facility covered by the surveillance camera law?
Check your facility’s conditions and specifications document. If it requires specifications or a connection the model lacks, you need a professional system.
Can indoor cameras be installed outdoors?
Not recommended. Indoor models are rated for indoor use and have a narrower operating temperature range.
Conclusion
EZVIZ offers a simple setup for homes and small shops: a self-contained camera, an app and a memory card. Start with the location (indoor or outdoor, one spot or a wide area), then network, storage and site temperature. If the facility is covered by the surveillance camera law, its requirements come first.
