IN these recent pandemic times, home shopping has understandably ballooned to an all-time high with the likelihood of seeing the Amazon delivery man more than your Auntie Vera at the front door.

As such home security has gone up a notch, and video doorbells are quickly gaining popularity, becoming one of the very first smart home purchases many people are making for peace of mind.

Enter the EZVIZ DB2 video doorbell. It has an extremely wide viewing angle of 176° to see visitors from head to toe in full 2k resolution, with a night vision feature of up to five meters all via the easily-installed EZVIZ app on your phone.

This wireless and wire-free doorbell is fully battery-powered and can be set up anywhere in minutes by anyone with no expert knowledge required, simply by using the attached sticker or easy screws. A plug-in wireless doorchime comes with the kit. Pick your favourite chime and you're ready to welcome your visitors!

The DB2 Pro can run up to 115 days - about four months - on one full charge via the enclosed USB lead (just use your own phone plug charger) which is maximised by its energing-saving mode. It’s also fully weather-proof to withstand any extreme weather.

So what does it do?

With its clear 2K imaging and extremely wide viewing angle, the DB2 allows users to see visitors from head to toe rather than the narrow, distorted field of view that a traditional peephole would provide. Homeowners can also see and record visitors’ activities down to the small details – all via the EZVIZ app. The black and white night vision also means no-one can easily dodge the camera under the cover of darkness.

Secondly, the DB2 rings and helps people answer the door in an effortless way, which is fundamental in its daily use.

With the help of the included indoor chime, users can hear the chosen ringtone, even from afar. An instant video call will be initiated to the mobile phone, so users can see and talk through the EZVIZ App to let friends know if it’s a good time to visit or ask the postman to place parcels in a preferred spot. The app integrates into a single app eco system shared with other EZVIZ devices.
