The camera features AI-powered human detection, reducing false alerts and allowing customizable detection zones for relevant notifications. For active defense, it includes a siren and spotlights to deter intruders, along with two-way audio for communication via your mobile phone. Enjoy 20m color night vision thanks to the F1.6 large aperture lens, delivering bright, clear images even in darkness. The C8c is designed to be waterproof, ensuring performance in harsh weather. Preset directions allow you to easily return to preferred viewing angles, and it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free control.

Troubleshooting
Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, that the password is correct, and that the camera is within range of your router. Restart your router and the camera.
Frequent false motion alerts
Adjust the AI human detection settings, fine-tune the detection zones, and lower the motion sensitivity in the EZVIZ app. Ensure the camera is not pointed towards areas with significant natural movement (e.g., trees in wind).
Poor video quality at night
Check if the infrared LEDs are clean and unobstructed. Ensure the ambient light is sufficient for color night vision, or switch to black and white IR mode if necessary. Verify the camera lens is clean.
Auto-tracking not functioning correctly
Verify that auto-tracking is enabled in the app settings. Ensure the detected object is within the camera's field of view and rotation limits. Reset the camera to default settings if the issue persists.
