EZVIZ breaks new ground in outdoor security with the 4G & Wi-Fi battery camera family, addressing everyday challenges while inspiring new scenarios from homes to wilderness

JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EZVIZ, recognized for reshaping the smart security landscape with its pioneering technologies, reinvents a familiar favorite with the debut of its 4G & Wi–Fi battery camera family. By weaving dual 4G & Wi–Fi flexibility with refined video intelligence and continuous monitoring through upgraded Always–On Video technology, the series not only captures activity with unprecedented clarity but does so in a manner that respects both technological advancement and human experience.

Built on flexible connectivity, dependable performance, and all–weather endurance, the EZVIZ 4G & Wi–Fi Battery Camera Family comes in three complementary lines. The Lite Series delivers straightforward, everyday protection; the 4K Pro Series offers ultra–clear 4K detail and continuous monitoring for demanding outdoor conditions; and the Dual–Lens Series tops the lineup with co–acted twin lenses and multi–angle views for the most complete coverage and all–day clarity.

“Outdoor security shouldn’t stop where Wi–Fi ends,” said Byron Fang, Product Director of EZVIZ’s Smart Home Camera R&D Department. “Our upgraded 4G family is built for the real world—stronger connectivity, longer–lasting power, and reliable recording. Wherever you need coverage—home, farm, or off–grid—you can count on it.”

Most smart home cameras force an unnecessary tradeoff: Wi–Fi–only devices struggle at the edges of a property, while 4G–only cameras can falter in low–signal areas and rack up mobile data costs. That means missed alerts, recording gaps, and reduced coverage. EZVIZ’s new product family overcomes these challenges through automatic switching between Wi–Fi and 4G, ensuring continuous operation and timely alerts. By prioritizing available Wi–Fi to optimize efficiency and leveraging 4G where needed to preserve coverage, these cameras offer unmatched installation flexibility. The result is a flexible, resilient network of 4G cameras, enabling dependable monitoring anywhere.

Battery–powered cameras often leave people choosing between staying protected and preserving power—too many motion alerts drain the battery, while nonstop recording clogs storage and buries users in useless clips. EZVIZ solves this with upgraded AOV and AI–powered detection: it records in high resolution only when meaningful activity is detected, and can distinguish between people, pets, and 20+ wildlife species to send accurate alerts at the right time. Paired with a large–capacity battery and optional solar panel, it delivers dependable, low–maintenance outdoor monitoring from home to wildlife areas.

Venezuela at a Crossroads

By Inés M. Pousadela
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Feb 2 2026 – When US special forces seized Nicolás Maduro and his wife from the presidential residence in Caracas on 3 January, killing at least 24 Venezuelan security officers and 32 Cuban intelligence operatives in the process, many in the Venezuelan opposition briefly dared hope. They speculated that intervention might finally bring the democratic transition thwarted when Maduro entrenched himself in power after losing the July 2024 election. But within hours, those hopes were crushed. Trump announced the USA would now ‘run’ Venezuela and Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in to replace Maduro. Venezuela’s sovereignty had been violated twice: first by an authoritarian regime that usurped the popular will, and then by an external power that deliberately violated international law.

A cynical intervention

Under Trump, the USA has abandoned any pretence of promoting democracy. Trump wrapped the intervention in the rhetoric of anti-narcotics operations while openly salivating over Venezuela’s oil reserves, rare earth deposits and investment opportunities. He repeatedly made clear that US regional hegemony is the number one priority. His contempt for Venezuelans’ right to self-determination was explicit: when asked about opposition leader María Corina Machado, Trump dismissed her as lacking ‘respect’ and ‘capacity to lead’. The message to Venezuela’s democratic movement was clear: your struggle doesn’t matter, only our interests do.

Ironically, the US intervention achieved what years of Maduro’s propaganda failed to do, giving anti-imperialist rhetoric a shot in the arm. For decades, Latin American authoritarian regimes have justified repression by pointing to the threat of US intervention, even though this was a largely historical grievance. Not anymore: Trump has handed every Latin American dictator the perfect justification for continuing authoritarian rule.

The global response has been equally revealing. The loudest defenders of national sovereignty are authoritarian powers such as China, Iran and Russia: states that routinely violate their citizens’ rights expressed their ‘solidarity with the people of Venezuela’ and positioned themselves as champions of international law. By blatantly violating a foundational principle of the post-1945 international order, Trump made the leaders of some of the world’s most repressive regimes look like the adults in the room. And across Latin America, the political conversation has now shifted dramatically: the question is no longer how to restore democracy in Venezuela, but how to prevent the next US military adventure in Latin America.

Authoritarianism continues

Meanwhile, Venezuela’s authoritarian regime remains intact. Maduro may be in a New York courtroom, but the structures that kept him in power – the corrupt military, embedded Cuban intelligence, patronage networks and the repressive apparatus – continue unchanged. Rodríguez will likely try to run down the clock, claiming Maduro could return at any moment to avoid calling elections while quietly negotiating oil deals with US companies and reasserting authoritarian control. For both Rodríguez and Trump, democracy seems like an inconvenient obstacle to resource extraction.

For Venezuelan civil society, this creates real dilemmas. As she was sworn in, Rodríguez denounced the operation that put her in charge and vowed that Venezuela would ‘never again be a colony of any empire’. She has wrapped herself in the flag, framing regime continuity as a patriotic stand against western imperialism, and can now easily paint opposition activists who have long demanded international pressure for democracy as treasonous collaborators with foreign powers. This is despite being an insider of a regime that welcomed Cuban intelligence, Iranian oil traders and Russian military advisers, and is now negotiating oil deals with the USA and crossing its own red line by promising legal changes to enable private investment.

A Venezuelan solution for Venezuela

But there may be some cracks in the regime. With Maduro gone, frictions inside the ruling party have become apparent. For instance, there have been obvious disagreements on how to handle the pressure to free Venezuela’s over 800 political prisoners. These may yield opportunities the democracy movement can exploit.

This is the time for the democratic opposition to reclaim the narrative. In the immediate aftermath of the intervention, families of political prisoners mounted vigils outside detention centres, demanding releases the government has only partially delivered. Civil society must amplify these voices, making clear that any transitional arrangement requires the dismantling of the repressive apparatus, not merely a change of faces at the top.

A broad coalition of civil society organisations has issued 10 demands that chart a path to democratic transition. They call for the immediate and unconditional release of political prisoners, the dismantling of irregular armed groups, unfettered access for human rights monitors and humanitarian aid and, crucially, a free and fair presidential election with international observers. These demands deserve international backing, not as conditions for oil contracts, but as non-negotiable requirements for any government that can claim to represent Venezuela.

Venezuela’s democratic forces can either accept marginalisation as Trump and Rodríguez carve up their country’s resources, or use this chaotic moment to advance a genuinely Venezuelan democratic agenda. That means rejecting both Maduro’s authoritarianism and Trump’s intervention, and insisting that any legitimacy Rodríguez’s government claims must come from Venezuelan voters, not US armed forces or oil contracts. Any window of opportunity may however be closing fast. The question is whether Venezuela’s democratic movement can seize it to build the country they have strived for, or whether they will remain spectators while others decide their fate.

تُحدث EZVIZ نقلة نوعية في أمن الأماكن الخارجية مع سلسلة كاميرات 4G العاملة بالبطارية، لتواجه تحديات الحياة اليومية وتفتح آفاقًا جديدة للاستخدام من المنازل إلى المناطق البرية

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

 2026 لطالما عُرفت EZVIZ بدورها الريادي في إعادة تشكيل مشهد الأمن الذكي من خلال تقنياتها المبتكرة، وها هي اليوم تعيد ابتكار أحد أكثر حلولها شيوعًا مع الإطلاق الرسمي لسلسلة كاميرات 4G العاملة بالبطارية. ومن خلال الدمج بين مرونة الاتصال المزدوج عبر شبكتي 4G وWi–Fi، والذكاء المتقدم لمعالجة الفيديو، والمراقبة المستمرة المدعومة بتقنية Always–On Video (AOV) المطوّرة، لا تكتفي هذه السلسلة بتسجيل الأحداث بوضوح غير مسبوق فحسب، بل تفعل ذلك بأسلوب يوازن بين التقدم التقني والتجربة الإنسانية.

وبالاعتماد على الاتصال المرن، والأداء الموثوق، والقدرة على التحمل في جميع الظروف الجوية، تتوافر سلسلة كاميرات EZVIZ 4G العاملة بالبطارية بثلاث فئات متكاملة. توفّر فئة Lite حماية بسيطة وفعالة للاستخدام اليومي؛ بينما ترتقي فئة 4K Pro بالمستوى عبر دقة 4K فائقة الوضوح ومراقبة مستمرة تلائم البيئات الخارجية القاسية؛ في حين تتصدر فئة العدستين (Dual–Lens) المجموعة بفضل عدستين تعملان بتناغم لتقديم زوايا رؤية متعددة، ما يضمن تغطية شاملة ووضوحًا ثابتًا على مدار اليوم.

وقال بايرون فانغ، مدير المنتجات في قسم البحث والتطوير لكاميرات المنازل الذكية لدى
EZVIZ:«لا ينبغي أن يتوقف أمن الأماكن الخارجية عند حدود تغطية شبكة Wi–Fi. لقد صُمّمت سلسلتنا الجديدة من كاميرات 4G لتواكب الواقع الحقيقي، مع اتصال أقوى، وعمر بطارية أطول، وتسجيل موثوق. سواء كان الاستخدام في المنزل، أو في مزرعة، أو في موقع خارج نطاق الشبكات، يمكن الاعتماد عليها بثقة.»

تفرض معظم كاميرات المنازل الذكية اليوم تنازلاً غير ضروري: فالأجهزة المعتمدة على Wi–Fi فقط تواجه صعوبات عند أطراف الممتلكات، في حين قد تعاني الكاميرات التي تعمل حصريًا عبر 4G من ضعف الإشارة وارتفاع تكاليف بيانات الهاتف المحمول. ويؤدي ذلك إلى تفويت التنبيهات، وحدوث فجوات في التسجيل، وتقليص خيارات التركيب. وتتغلب سلسلة EZVIZ الجديدة على هذه التحديات من خلال التبديل التلقائي بين Wi–Fi و4G، ما يضمن تشغيلًا متواصلًا وتنبيهات في الوقت المناسب. ومن خلال إعطاء الأولوية لشبكة Wi–Fi عند توفرها لتعزيز الكفاءة، والاستعانة بشبكة 4G عند الحاجة للحفاظ على التغطية، توفّر هذه الكاميرات مرونة تركيب غير مسبوقة. والنتيجة هي حل شبكي مرن وقوي يتيح مراقبة موثوقة في أي مكان تقريبًا.

وغالبًا ما تضع الكاميرات العاملة بالبطارية المستخدمين أمام خيار صعب بين الحفاظ على الأمان أو توفير الطاقة: فالإكثار من تنبيهات الحركة يستنزف البطارية سريعًا، بينما يؤدي التسجيل المستمر إلى استهلاك مساحة التخزين بمقاطع غير ضرورية. وتعالج EZVIZ هذا التحدي من خلال تقنية AOV المطوّرة، إلى جانب الكشف الذكي المعتمد على الذكاء الاصطناعي. إذ لا يتم التسجيل بدقة عالية إلا عند اكتشاف نشاط مهم، مع القدرة على التمييز بين الأشخاص، والحيوانات الأليفة، وأكثر من 20 نوعًا من الحيوانات البرية، لإرسال التنبيه المناسب في الوقت المناسب. وبالاقتران مع بطارية عالية السعة ولوح طاقة شمسية اختياري، توفّر هذه الحلول مراقبة خارجية موثوقة ومنخفضة الصيانة، من البيئات السكنية إلى المناطق الطبيعية والبرية.
