The EZVIZ EP8 Ultra smart doorbell is the brand's newest piece of entryway hardware that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) in a new way to surprise and delight visitors. The doorbell is equipped with a dual-lens system to offer a 162-degree field of view via the top 6MP 3K+ resolution lens, while the downward-facing lens is a 2MP 1080p resolution lens to achieve a full view for administrators.
The doorbell springs to life with its built-in screen that will display one of three digital characters to greet guests according to who the person detected is. The Pandie Panda character will warmly greet familiar faces, while Ray Raccoon is the default setting and Harry Husky handles unknown visitors.
The EZVIZ EP8 Ultra smart doorbell is rounded out with upward and downward-facing LEDs to further increase the ambiance at entryways.
