This new technology means battery-powered cameras can record more and last longer

Picture this: You’ve just invested in a smart battery-powered camera to bring your home security into the 21st century. Installation is a breeze; there are no wires to worry about. You just charge it up and stick it wherever you see fit. It has a sensor, and it’ll automatically record clips whenever it detects movement.

Later that day, you miss a parcel, the driver has left it “somewhere safe” but you can’t find it. No problem, your new camera will have picked it up. So, you go to check the footage, but the sensor triggered too late and the recording ended too early. You still have no idea where the package is. It’s not ideal.

Eventually, you find it, but it’s pretty irritating that your camera couldn’t help. So, you decide to activate the always-on continuous recording mode. Then, the reality sets in. Your storage is completely full after just a few hours, and your battery is almost dead too.

It doesn’t have to be like this, the latest cameras from EZVIZ feature a breakthrough technology called AOV (always-on video) and it solves all of these issues. It continuously records all day, can detect motion detection from further away than traditional PIR sensors and also offers super long battery life.

When you use an EZVIZ AOV camera, you can view a high-speed timelapse of your property at the end of each day, while important events are automatically picked out and played back at normal speed. This means you never miss a crucial moment, but you still get small manageable file sizes and ultra-long battery life.

What is EZVIZ AOV?

AOV is a new technology that changes the way battery-powered security cameras record. It stands for always-on video, and as the name suggests, that’s because it’s always capturing 24/7. Unlike traditional continuous recording, though, EZVIZ AOV only highlights the important moments, while the rest of the day is turned into a speedy timelapse.

The end result is a camera that captures everything you need while still maintaining exceptional battery life and creating small and easy-to-manage files. What’s more, EZVIZ AOV cameras can detect movement from up to 25 metres away, compared to just 9 metres with a PIR-based camera. And because it’s always on, it’ll start recording faster, ensuring you never miss an important moment.

Which EZVIZ cameras support AOV?

EZVIZ has been hard at work applying its new AOV technology to as many battery-powered camera models as possible, in fact, all of the EZVIZ battery-powered cameras that were released in the last six months feature AOV functionality. Of course, there will be plenty more in the future, and some earlier versions are eligible for AOV functionality via an OTA update.
