The good news: EZVIZ is backed by Hikvision, one of the biggest camera makers, cameras can record to a memory card, and the FCC is not ordering anyone to remove cameras they already own.
The bad news: Since 2026, US rules block new imports and sales of Hikvision equipment, so the future of EZVIZ in the US is uncertain, and the app needs the EZVIZ cloud.
