Is Smart Door Viewer Worth It? A Comparison of Three EZVIZ Models

Smart door viewer have become increasingly popular in recent years, prompting us to rethink the role of traditional peepholes. In the past, peepholes only offered a limited view of what was happening outside your door when someone rang the doorbell. However, smart door viewer, as a high-tech solution, provide more comprehensive security protection. Not only do they give you a clear view of the area outside your door, but they also come equipped with smart features that allow you to monitor your home security anytime, anywhere. This is not only an investment in safety but also a way to enhance your quality of life.

Reflecting on the pandemic period, I was often hesitant to open the door for package deliveries. Thanks to the voice-changing feature of the smart door viewer, I no longer needed to shout loudly, making the process easy and convenient. While smart door viewer offers a wider field of view, motion detection, and recording capabilities, it also come with higher prices and potential privacy risks. For many consumers, the question remains: is it worth investing in such a device, or do they simply provide convenience? Can these smart door viewer truly become a powerful ally in your home security?

Next, we’ll compare three rechargeable battery smart doorbells from EZVIZ to determine if their features and practicality can genuinely enhance your sense of security.

Both the EZVIZ DB2 Pro 2K+ and DP2 2K offer high resolution and a wide field of view, along with intelligent human detection features. The HP4 is a great option for users on a budget who still want to enhance their security. If you want to see outside your door from the traditional peephole position, a smart door viewer with a screen will be your best choice.

If the door has a wide field of view and opens to the outdoors, the waterproof feature and expansive visibility become very important. However, if the door only faces an indoor corridor, the waterproof function is naturally unnecessary.
