确保您家的户外安全比以往任何时候都更加重要。最近的一项调查(recent survey)发现，多达三分之一的人曾经历过包裹失窃(package theft)。由于隔离（以及随着圣诞节临近而增加的(Christmas)假日购物(holiday shopping)），越来越多的人在家中，这个数字可能会上升。
为确保您家的户外空间安全，您需要一个户外安全摄像头(security camera)，它不仅可以提供清晰的画面，而且可以承受任何天气条件。EZVIZ C3X 户外安全摄像机(EZVIZ C3X Outdoor Security Camera)是一个潜在的选择。
EZVIZ发送了一台C3X进行审查，并让我们有机会自己评估它。
安装
EZVIZ C3X拥有市场上所有户外(EZVIZ C3X)安全摄像机(security camera)中最简单的设置过程之一。第一步是将应用程序下载(download the app)到您的移动设备。完成此操作后，创建一个帐户，然后点击屏幕右上角的加号以添加新相机。
包装盒中的快速入门指南(Quick Start Guide)正面有一个二维码。(QR code)当您开始添加相机时，您只需扫描应用程序的代码即可找到设备。从这里，只需按照屏幕上的说明开始。
至于安装，萤石 C3X(EZVIZ C3X)随附三个安装螺钉，如果您在墙上找不到螺柱，还提供空心干墙锚。相机的底座可以拧下并从相机机身上滑开，这使得将它固定在墙上变得更加容易。安装后只需重新连接底座和相机机身(camera body)即可。
该盒子包括一个钻孔模板(drill template)，您可以将其粘贴在墙上以帮助排列必要的螺钉。
界面
C3X的基本界面直观且易于理解。屏幕顶部有两种模式：在家(At-Home)和离家(Leaving-Home)。在家模式禁用通知并将相机设置为注重隐私的模式。离家模式启用通知。
这两个选项下方是您已连接的任何摄像机的快速显示。在上面的示例照片(example photo)中，它只显示了一台相机，因为我们只测试了一台。它显示了相机的名称和两个图标：一个男人和一个齿轮图标。
人形图标可让您更改警报通知。您可以选择启用检测标记(detection marking)，设置特定的通知计划(notification schedule)，甚至可以准确绘制您希望接收通知的区域。您还可以调整运动检测灵敏度(motion detection sensitivity)。
齿轮图标打开设置菜单。此菜单允许您启用或禁用实时流和录制的素材的音频、打开或关闭状态灯(status light)、设置自动亮度检测(brightness detection)等等。
但是，所有这些都是为了调整选项。如果要控制相机，则需要点击显示屏。这将打开另一个屏幕，向您显示相机馈送(camera feed)的实时显示，并允许访问多个选项：
视频历史(Video History)是不言自明的。它显示了相机收集的所有先前录制的视频剪辑。快照(Snapshot)会截取当时屏幕上的任何内容。
Record 允许您从实时源中保存视频剪辑。(video clip)说话(Speak)会激活摄像头上的扬声器，让您可以与另一边的任何人交谈——这对于警告可能成为小偷的人特别有用。
主动防御(Defense)会激活响亮的警报器和频闪灯(siren and strobe light)，以引起人们对您家的注意并惊吓附近的任何人。定义允许您在高清视频和超高清视频(Hi-Def video and Ultra-HD)之间切换。
特征

上面的照片是在完全黑暗的环境下拍摄的，除了远处的路灯(street light)。在测试中，萤石 C3X(EZVIZ C3X)几乎在所有情况下都显示出高质量的夜视功能(high-quality night vision)，但如果光线太靠近相机，它会导致它切换到标准的黑白模式。
摄像头还可以检测人类运动和车辆(movement and vehicles)之间的运动，可定制的活动区域意味着您可以将其对准道路并查看院子的广阔区域，但仅选择前门附近的区域以触发运动警报。

EZVIZ C3X Outdoor Security Camera Review
Ensuring your home’s outdoоr security is more important than ever before. A recent survey found that as many as one in three people had experienced package theft. And with more people at home due to quarantine (and the increased holiday shopping as Christmas approaches), that number is likely to rise.
To ensure the outdoor spaces of your home are safe, you need an outdoor security camera that gives not only a clear picture, but can withstand any weather conditions. The EZVIZ C3X Outdoor Security Camera is a potential option.
EZVIZ sent a C3X for review and gave us a chance to evaluate it for ourselves.
Installation
The EZVIZ C3X has one of the easiest set-up processes of any outdoor security camera on the market. The first step is to download the app to your mobile device. Once you’ve done this, create an account and then tap the plus sign in the top-right corner of the screen to add a new camera.
The Quick Start Guide included in the box has a QR code on the front. When you start to add a camera, you can simply scan the code for the app to find the device. From here, just follow the on-screen instructions to get started.
As for installation, the EZVIZ C3X comes with three mounting screws, as well as hollow drywall anchors if you cannot find a stud in the wall. The base of the camera can be unscrewed and slid away from the body of the camera, which makes it significantly easier to attach it to the wall. Just re-attach the base and the camera body once you’ve mounted it.
The box includes a drill template that you can tape to the wall to help line up the necessary screws.
Interface
The basic interface for the C3X is intuitive and easy to understand. At the top of the screen are two modes: At-Home and Leaving-Home. The At-Home mode disables notifications and sets the camera into a privacy-focused mode. The Leaving-Home mode enables notifications.
Below these two options is a quick display of any cameras you have connected. In the example photo above, it shows only one camera because we only tested one. It shows the name of the camera and two icons: a man and a gear icon.
The man-shaped icon allows you to change your alarm notifications. You can choose to enable detection marking, set up a specific notification schedule, and even draw exactly what areas you want to receive notifications for. You can also adjust the motion detection sensitivity.
The gear icon opens the settings menu. This menu allows you to enable or disable audio for both live streams and recorded footage, turn the status light on or off, set up automatic brightness detection, and much more.
However, all of these are for adjusting options. If you want to control the camera, you will need to tap the display. This will open another screen that will show you a real-time display of the camera feed, as well as allow access to several options:
- Video History
- Snapshot
- Record
- Speak
- Active Defense
- Definition
Video History is self explanatory. It shows all of the previously recorded video clips that the camera has gathered. Snapshot takes a screenshot of whatever is on-screen at the time.
Record allows you to save a video clip from the real-time feed. Speak activates the speaker on the camera, allowing you to speak to anyone on the other side—particularly useful for warning away would-be thieves.
Active Defense activates a loud siren and strobe light to draw attention to your home and startle anyone that may be nearby. Definition allows you to swap between Hi-Def video and Ultra-HD.
Features
The EZVIZ C3X outdoor security camera has a lot going for it, but its strongest feature is the dual-lens color night vision.
The above photo was taken in complete darkness aside from a distant street light. In testing, the EZVIZ C3X displayed high-quality night vision in almost every instance, although if a light is too near the camera it will cause it to switch to a standard black-and-white mode.
The camera can also detect between human movement and vehicles, and the customizable activity zones mean you can aim it at the road and see a wide area of your yard, but select only the areas near your front door to set off motion alerts.
Tech Specs
The EZVIZ C3X is a powerful camera. It boasts 1920×1080 resolution and infrared night vision up to 25 feet away. It is also IP67 rated, which means that it can withstand almost anything nature can throw its way (although a tidal wave might do it in. Don’t submerge it.)
The C3X connects over a 2.4GHz connection and integrates with Alexa. It also comes with a 256GB SD card for onboard storage, although it also offers a month-long free trial of EZVIZ Cloud storage services.
The camera’s construction is worth noting from a purely objective standpoint. It has a metal shell that feels sturdy and durable. The adjustable antennae on the sides are made of tough plastic, but can easily be adjusted.
For a price of just $150 on Amazon, the EZVIZ C3X is an affordable, powerful camera that boasts many of the same features as much more expensive models. If you are looking for a mid-range camera that will fit neatly into your budget, it is worth checking out. The onboard storage eliminates many privacy concerns, while the outdoor security camera itself will help keep an eye on your home while you’re away.
