After the camera is mounted, you can adjust the surveillance angle by loosening the adjusting screw on the mount, positioning the camera-it can rotate 360 degrees and tilt 90 degrees-then re-tightening the screw. Screws, anchors, and a mounting template are provided for the mounting, but you’ll need to supply your own tools for this. Once you have that sorted out, you can mount the camera to any wall or ceiling that can support three times the camera’s weight and that you don’t mind drilling a hole through to accommodate the cables. EZVIZ missed an opportunity by not supporting power-over-ethernet (PoE) that would have made this camera much easier to deploy. If you’d rather wire the camera to your router, you’ll also need to consider the distance an ethernet cable will need to cover.

Thanks to the dual Wi-Fi antennas, you have considerable latitude with the first requirement (provided you’re connecting to a 2.4GHz network) for the second one, you’re limited by the 5-foot length of the DC Power Adapter. The ideal spot for the CW3N is within range of both a clear Wi-Fi signal and an indoor electrical outlet. A seven-day storage plan costs $6 per month or $60 annually, while 30 days of storage costs $11 per month or $110 annually.

You can also store your video offsite with an EZVIZ CloudPlay subscription. You can save video clips on the camera with a microSD card (up to 256GB, not included) or to the EZVIZ NVR (network video recorder, sold separately for $230). The C3WN’s dual Wi-Fi antennas give you a lot freedom in placing the camera outside your home, although they could also prove attractive to vandals if within reach.Īs with most EZVIZ cameras, the C3WN comes with multiple storage options.
