Introduction to the EZVIZ EB3 4G Outdoor Battery Bullet Camera
The EZVIZ EB3 4G (CS-EB3-R200-1K3FL4GA) is a purpose-built, 100% wire-free outdoor security camera designed for locations where Wi‑Fi is weak or unavailable. Combining 4G LTE cellular connectivity, a rechargeable 5,200 mAh battery, AI‑powered detection, and 2K (3MP) image quality, the EB3 aims to deliver reliable remote surveillance for homes, rental properties, worksites and other off‑grid scenarios. It also supports active deterrence (siren and strobe), two‑way audio, and optional solar charging for extended operation.

Detailed specifications and benefits
The EB3 uses a 1/2.8" 3‑megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor paired with a 2.8 mm lens (F1.6). This combination yields a diagonal field of view of approximately 130° (horizontal ~108°), which is well suited for monitoring yard fronts, driveways, gates, and building perimeters. Native 2K (2304 × 1296) resolution gives clearer subject detail than many 1080p alternatives, helping identify faces or license plates at moderate distances. The camera records at up to 15 fps (self‑adaptive), which balances network and storage demands with smooth motion capture for typical surveillance purposes.
For low‑light scenes the EB3 offers an IR‑cut filter with auto switch plus both colour night vision and IR night vision up to 15 m. In practice this means improved recognition at night: when there is slight ambient light the camera can produce colour images, while IR mode provides reliable monochrome images in full darkness.
The camera is powered by a rechargeable 5200 mAh battery and accepts DC 5V/2A input (adapter sold separately). For deployments that require continuous uptime, the EB3 supports an official solar panel to top up battery charge and reduce maintenance visits. Maximum power consumption is around 10 W under load. The removable battery design makes it straightforward to recharge or swap cells where needed.
Where the EB3 stands out is cellular connectivity: it operates over 4G LTE (nano SIM required) so it can monitor remote locations without any Wi‑Fi infrastructure. Bluetooth is also used for initial setup. The camera uses AI to distinguish humans and vehicles from other motion sources, significantly reducing false alarms from wind, foliage or small animals. Active defence includes a built‑in siren and strobe with options for custom voice or notification triggers.
Locally, the EB3 accepts a microSD card up to 512 GB for onboard recording. For remote access and offsite archiving, EZVIZ CloudPlay is supported (subscription required). Standard security features such as password protection and watermarking help maintain privacy and authenticity of recordings.
The EB3 is rated IP65, meaning it is weatherproof against rain and dust for typical outdoor use—but not designed for immersion. Operating temperature ranges from −20 °C to 50 °C with up to 95% non‑condensing humidity. The camera is compact and lightweight (net 222.7 g; 153.3 × 62.95 × 62.95 mm), making it easy to mount on walls, poles or temporary structures.
Use cases and scenarios where the EB3 excels
- Remote cabins, holiday homes and rural properties:No on‑site Wi‑Fi? A 4G connection keeps these properties monitored year‑round, and the optional solar panel reduces the need for manual battery recharges.
- Construction sites and temporary worksites:The EB3 can be quickly installed to monitor equipment, deliveries and fence lines and then moved when the project ends.
- Mobile assets and vehicles:For trailers, boats moored near shore (with appropriate protection) or caravans, the EB3 provides flexible, detachable surveillance as long as cellular reception is sufficient.
- Pop‑up events and retail stalls:When a short‑term security solution is needed without cabling, the EB3 provides decent image quality and deterrence features such as siren and strobe.
- Rental properties and landlords:Provide remote monitoring of exterior areas without altering tenant networks—ideal for holiday let exteriors or communal entrances.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
In the broader market there are battery‑powered outdoor cameras that rely on Wi‑Fi (for example, many models from Arlo, Ring and Wyze) and a smaller subset that offer cellular connectivity (such as Reolink Go series or other 4G cameras). Compared to typical Wi‑Fi battery cameras, the EB3’s main advantage is independence from local networks—crucial where Wi‑Fi is absent or unreliable.
Against other 4G competitors the EB3’s strengths include its 2K resolution (many 4G models are 1080p), AI human/vehicle detection for fewer false alarms, and an active deterrence package. The 5200 mAh battery is competitive and, combined with optional solar charging, makes the EB3 suitable for longer deployments.
Limitations versus some rivals: the EB3’s maximum 15 fps may feel conservative compared with cameras that push higher frame rates for very smooth motion; it also requires a separate power adapter for wired charging and there is limited public data on supported 4G bands—buyers must confirm cellular compatibility for their region. Finally, certifications (e.g., CE/UKCA) are marked as insufficient in the supplied data and should be confirmed if regulatory compliance is critical.
Customer feedback and real‑world observations
There are no specific customer quotes included with this product brief, but typical buyer feedback for cameras with the EB3’s profile tends to emphasise a few recurring themes:
- What owners praise:Ease of installation, flexible deployment without wiring, clear daytime imagery from 2K resolution, and peace of mind from AI‑filtered alerts and active deterrence features.
- Common concerns:Need to purchase a SIM/data plan (ongoing cost), battery maintenance if no solar panel is used, and ensuring the camera’s 4G bands match the local mobile networks. Some users also prefer higher frame rates for very fast motion.
- Installation notes from field users:Mount the camera where cellular reception is strongest, avoid locations with heavy metal obstructions, and test recording/storage workflows (microSD vs cloud) during setup to fit your monitoring routine.
Conclusion — is the EZVIZ EB3 4G the right pick?
The EZVIZ EB3 4G is a compelling choice when you need a truly wireless outdoor camera that does not rely on local Wi‑Fi. Its 2K image quality, AI human/vehicle detection, active deterrence, and colour night vision make it a versatile option for rural homes, temporary sites, mobile assets and any location where cabling is impractical. The rechargeable 5200 mAh battery plus optional solar support adds flexibility for remote deployments.
Before buying, confirm mobile network compatibility (4G bands) for your region, plan for an appropriate data plan and decide whether you will use local microSD storage or subscribe to cloud backup. Also factor in the additional purchase of a power adapter if you intend to charge the camera from mains power or select a solar panel accessory for continuous uptime.
Overall, for users who prioritise independent connectivity and easy redeployment, the EZVIZ EB3 4G offers a strong mix of image quality, smart detection and deterrence features at a competitive suggested price point. It is particularly well suited to environments where traditional Wi‑Fi cameras simply cannot operate reliably.
