EZVIZ CP7 review
The 2K version of EZVIZ's intercom, with a 162° field of view and three ways to release the door — from the monitor, from the app, or with the supplied RFID card — plus person detection with a user-defined area.
The conclusion The CP5 with a 2K image, a wider view and a detection zone. Worth the difference on a street-facing door.
This is the CP5 with three changes: a 2K image, a wider view and a detection
zone. The last two matter on a door that faces a public street.
The wider view
162° against 134°. On a doorstep the extra angle is spent downward and
outward: the step comes into frame, and so does whatever was left on it. Every
owner of a narrow-view intercom eventually wants this, and it cannot be added
later.
The detection zone
An intercom facing a street sees the street. Without a zone it reports every
person walking past, and within a week the notifications are ignored — which
is the same as not having them. Drawing a zone tightly around your own path
turns a stream of noise into a small number of events worth reading.
This is the more valuable of the two upgrades, and it is the one that never
appears in a headline.
What has not changed
The 7-inch wall panel, the two-way audio and the door release output — and the
fact that the release needs a strike and its own wiring to do anything at all.
Price that job before ordering.
Who it suits
A front door on a street. On an enclosed garden, the cheaper CP5 does the same
work.
Availability
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.
Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.
What reassures, and what does not
Strengths
2K rather than 1080p, and 162° rather than 134°
Three ways to release the door or gate: touchscreen, app or supplied RFID card
Person detection with a customisable detection area
Same 7-inch wall panel, so the household answering behavior is unchanged
Compromises
The app depends on Wi-Fi at the indoor monitor, as with the CP5
Noticeably more expensive than the CP5 for the same core function
Still needs an electric strike and its wiring for the release to do anything
A 162° lens has visible curvature at the edges

The questions we are asked
Is 162° better than 134°?
For a doorway, yes. The wider view puts the whole step in frame including anything left on it, which is what most people find they wanted after living with a narrow one. The cost is curvature at the edges, which is cosmetic rather than practical.
What is the detection zone for?
Excluding the street. An intercom pointed at a front door usually also sees the pavement, and without a zone it reports every passer-by. Drawing the zone tightly around your own path is the single setting that decides whether the notifications are worth reading.
Is it worth the step up from the CP5?
If the door faces a street, yes — the detection zone and the wider view both address that specific situation. If the door faces an enclosed garden, the CP5 does the same job for less.
Our score
7.8/ 10
The CP5 with a 2K image, a wider view and a detection zone. Worth the difference on a street-facing door.
