EZVIZ expands its New Zealand portfolio with a comprehensive range of smart security products emphasising local storage and privacy features, signalling a major push into the competitive home monitoring market.
EZVIZ has expanded its New Zealand offer with its largest local range of smart home security and connected living products, placing the line-up through Harvey Norman and Noel Leeming. The launch spans outdoor and indoor cameras, a video doorbell, a smart lock and a home control screen, reflecting a push to sell a more complete home monitoring system rather than isolated devices.
A defining feature of the range is its emphasis on local storage. EZVIZ is positioning the products as an alternative to security systems that reserve core functions behind monthly cloud fees. Outdoor battery cameras in the New Zealand range include a 16GB microSD card, while the EP8 Ultra doorbell has built-in 32GB eMMC storage. The company is also promoting its Always-On Video approach for battery-powered cameras, which is intended to maintain continuous coverage while managing power use.
At the top of the line-up is the HB90 Dual Kit, a dual-lens outdoor camera that can reposition its two 3K lenses to widen coverage. According to EZVIZ, it includes human and vehicle detection, automatic tracking, colour night vision, two-way talk, a siren and strobe light, Wi-Fi 6 and weather resistance. The company says it is powered by a 10,400mAh battery with an 8W solar panel, and supports local storage of up to 512GB. The HB8 Lite offers a 360-degree view, 3K resolution and similar detection and deterrence features, along with support for microSD cards of up to 512GB.
The front-door products extend the system further. The EP8 Ultra doorbell combines a main 3K camera with a second lens aimed at the doorstep and parcel area, adding package detection, removal alerts, familiar-face recognition, colour night vision and two-way video calling. The DL50FVX Smart Lock goes beyond camera-based security, offering facial recognition, palm recognition, fingerprint entry, passcodes, Bluetooth keys, temporary codes, remote unlocking and a mechanical key. It also includes two cameras and a four-inch colour display.
Inside the home, the S10 combines an indoor camera with a touchscreen, video calling functions, a digital photo frame and a Bluetooth speaker. It offers a 360-degree view, human and pet detection, tracking, baby-crying detection and a physical privacy shutter. The SD7 control screen is designed as a portable hub for viewing feeds, playing back footage and using two-way talk across compatible EZVIZ devices, reducing reliance on a smartphone for day-to-day control.
The company says the range is part of a broader global expansion in a crowded smart home market. EZVIZ says it operates in more than 130 countries, has more than 230 million registered users and has connected more than 360 million devices worldwide. It also cites IDC shipment data saying it is the world’s largest smart home camera brand by total 2025 shipments, while saying it spends more than 14% of annual revenue on research and development.
Privacy and cyber security remain central selling points. EZVIZ says its framework uses AES and TLS encryption, authentication controls, encrypted storage and settings such as privacy zones, physical shutters and permission controls. Jock Jones, EZVIZ’s ANZ country manager, said in a statement that the company wanted to offer sophisticated technology without tying essential features to recurring payments, arguing that buyers should be able to use the core functions immediately rather than face a monthly bill.
