Best Video Doorbell and Smart Peephole Camera in Jordan: EZVIZ HP2 Review
Looking for the best video doorbell or smart peephole camera in Jordan? A smart peephole camera replaces the glass viewer in an apartment door, while a video doorbell mounts outside the entrance of a house or villa. If you also need to open a gate remotely, a video intercom is the better fit.

Video doorbell, smart peephole or intercom: which one do you need?
Smart peephole camera (door viewer)
Also called a peephole doorbell or digital door viewer, it replaces the glass viewer in your door: a small camera sits in the existing hole outside and a 4.3-inch screen sits inside, and most models also send the view to your phone over Wi-Fi. Because it uses the hole that is already there, it is usually the easiest option for apartments.
Video doorbell
A video doorbell mounts outside beside the entrance and replaces the bell button. When someone presses it or walks up, you get an alert on your phone and can talk to them in the app. Battery models need no wiring, and some can also use existing doorbell wires or a solar panel. It suits houses, villas and entrances with an outside wall.
Video intercom
A video intercom pairs an outdoor station with an indoor monitor and can unlock a gate or door. The EZVIZ HP7 has a 7-inch colour touch screen and unlocks by RFID card, indoor monitor or app, while the EZVIZ HP5 can control both a gate and a front door. For more, read our video intercom guide or browse the video intercom collection.
How to choose the best doorbell camera
Check your door before you buy
For a peephole camera, compare your door thickness and peephole hole diameter with the range on the product page. The EZVIZ HP2 fits doors 35–105 mm thick with 14–26 mm holes, while the EZVIZ HP4 accepts holes from 15.5 to 50 mm. For a doorbell, check that there is a flat spot beside the door.
Video resolution and field of view
1080p (2MP) shows a visitor at the door clearly, while 2K, 4MP and 5MP cameras keep more detail when you zoom into a recording. A 155° to 166° angle shows more of the landing, and the panoramic fisheye lens of the IMOU Doorbell 3 also shows packages on the ground.
Night vision
Infrared (IR) night vision gives a black-and-white image in the dark, while colour night vision uses light to keep the picture in colour. The EZVIZ HP2 and IMOU VD1 have no infrared night vision, so they suit well-lit corridors better.
Power: battery, solar or wired
Peephole cameras run on a rechargeable battery that lasts weeks or months depending on the model and use; continuous modes such as AOV on the IMOU VD1 drain it much faster. The EZVIZ HP3 Pro and EP3x Pro come with a solar panel, and the HP3 Pro and IMOU Doorbell 3 can also run on existing 8–24V AC doorbell wiring.
Storage without a subscription
For a doorbell camera without a subscription, look for local storage. The EZVIZ HP3 Pro and EP3x Pro have 32GB of built-in eMMC storage, and most other models record to a microSD card. The EZVIZ HP2 is live view only and does not store recordings.
Wi-Fi at the door
Most models use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which reaches further through walls than 5 GHz; the IMOU VD1 supports both bands. If the signal at the door is weak, a chime that boosts it helps: the EZVIZ CH1 Wi-Fi chime plugs into a wall socket, rings indoors when a compatible EZVIZ battery doorbell is pressed (20 ringtones, up to 72 dB at 1 meter) and uses two external antennas to strengthen the doorbell's connection. The IMOU Doorbell 3 Kit includes a chime that does the same job.
Two-way talk, alerts and smart features
Two-way audio lets you answer visitors from your phone. PIR sensors detect the body heat of a person moving in front of the camera, and human or package detection cuts false alerts. Useful extras include a voice changer, privacy zones and an anti-tamper alarm.
EZVIZ HP2 review: what it does and what it doesn't
The EZVIZ HP2 is one of the peephole viewers our customers choose most often. This review is based on its specifications, not on lab testing.
What you get with the HP2
- A 1080p camera with a 146° wide-angle lens in place of your peephole.
- A 4.3-inch colour screen inside the door, so anyone at home can see the visitor without a phone.
- Remote live view and notifications in the EZVIZ app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
- A 2,200 mAh rechargeable lithium battery, so no wiring is needed.
- A fit for doors 35–105 mm thick with peephole holes of 14–26 mm.
What to keep in mind
- It is live view only: it does not record to a microSD card or the cloud.
- It has no infrared night vision, so a dark landing limits what you can see.
Verdict: who should buy the HP2
The HP2 is a strong choice if you simply want to see who is at the door on a screen and on your phone, for example for elderly parents or children who cannot reach the peephole. For recordings, PIR motion detection or night vision, step up to the EZVIZ DP2C or DP2 2K.

How to set up a smart doorbell or peephole camera
- Charge the battery fully before installation.
- Install the brand's app (EZVIZ, Imou Life or Tuya) and log in.
- Connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network the device will use; EZVIZ devices need 2.4 GHz.
- Add the device, usually by tapping "+" and scanning the QR code on the device label, then follow the in-app steps.
- Mount the camera and indoor screen in place of the old viewer, or fix the doorbell bracket beside the door.
- Set detection zones, alerts and storage, then press the button to test it.
An EZVIZ device can be linked to only one account at a time, so remove it from any old account first. App menus change between versions; if a step differs, follow the quick start guide.
Tips for Jordan homes and apartments
- In shared buildings, point the camera at your own door, not a neighbour's, and use privacy zones where available.
- Mount solar panels where they get direct sun for part of the day; for an entrance in constant shade, wired power is safer.
- Pair your doorbell with a smart lock that supports remote unlocking to let visitors in from your phone; see our smart door lock buying guide.
