Best video door phone UK

Updated: 22 October 2026

You already know you want a picture at the door and a monitor indoors, and other best-video pages are naming installer brands that are not in this basket. The best video door phone UK, inside this amazon.co.uk set, is who should buy the EZVIZ CP5, who should buy the TMEZON MZ-V20, and who should skip both. Trade Hikvision kits stay out of the ranking. Prices and the other rows are on the [Door intercom comparison](/hub/electronic-surveillance/door-intercom). It is not a lab score, and it is not a claim that any kit is certified to BS EN 62820. Products Compared editorial team, 19 October 2026. Not a lab test. A qualifying amazon.co.uk purchase can earn us a commission.

Top pick, if you must answer when you are out

The top pick is the EZVIZ CP5, ASIN B0DHVRDXNX, at £161.49, with 4.4 from 1,330 reviews. It is a 7-inch colour touch monitor and a 1080p camera with a 134° view. The amazon listing states infrared to 5 m. EZVIZ's own page states 6 m, so this page does not merge them. You can talk and unlock from the monitor, from two RFID tags, or from the EZVIZ app. No other kit here states a phone answer and a remote unlock. The cable does not disappear because the monitor is on Wi-Fi. The listing states 2-wire installation and compatibility with a 4-wire system. A UK review says you need two wires indoors, ideally a twisted pair. Another UK buyer returned the set because the description had no wiring diagram for the cable already in their wall. Skip it if you need a confirmed BS 1363 plug from this scrape. The included-components field reads "36 EU", which does not state a UK plug. The electric lock is not listed in the box, and weatherproof is stated without an IP code. If the missing diagram or the plug line is the blocker, use the door entry system buying guide before you pay the upper band.

Best value, if you are at home and will run four cores

The best value is the TMEZON MZ-V20, ASIN B0CFY3JM7D, at £79.99, with 4.2 from 416 reviews. It is one 7-inch colour monitor, two-way audio, and an outdoor camera listed as IP65 with black-and-white infrared. UK reviewers describe a clear picture and a loud chime, including buyers who wanted it for someone hard of hearing. There is no phone app. Buy it if you are in the house. Skip it if you are out all day. One UK buyer returned a set because it would not connect to a phone. The extension cable is not in the box, and a UK review describes the supplied leads as about 4 inches. The lock is not in the box, a UK plug is not stated, and same brand is not same pinout: one buyer could not reuse a TMEZON system from 2019. Buy it when you can pull or reuse four cores and you will answer at the monitor. Do not buy it on a single old bell pair. The first test, before any chasing, is on how to install a video door phone. The QingTianTongYun 4.3-inch kit is the same £79.99 with 4.0 from 34 reviews and UK reports of a dead unit and random ringing. The smaller screen and that file are why it is not this row.

Who should buy neither

Buy neither if you cannot run a cable and you still want a picture. The Winnes kit, at £52.99 with 3.8 from 378 reviews, is a pre-paired 4.3-inch monitor with no Wi-Fi and no app. Door release is not stated. UK reviews say the outdoor bell lifts off the bracket, and one buyer had to keep the two units very close before they worked. Buy neither if speech is enough. The Mercury handset at £28.99 is 5.0 from two reviews, and it has no camera. One review reports damp on earlier units of the same make. The Dioche at £38.29 has no camera, and Fockety reviews contradict its eight-month battery claim. The TMEZON two-monitor kit at £135.99 is one house with a second screen upstairs. It is not a better CP5, and it is not two flats.

Which situation you are actually in

Away from home, with two or four cores, the CP5 is the match. At home, with four cores, the MZ-V20 is the match. With no cable, neither unlocks the door.

Common questions

Which video door phone is the top pick, and who should not buy it?
Do not buy the CP5 if you need a confirmed UK plug from this scrape, if you will not use an account, or if you have no route for two or four cores. The 1,330 reviews are the listing total. The scraped file marks only two of those texts as United Kingdom.
Which is the best value, and who should skip it?
Skip the MZ-V20 if you are out all day, if you only have one old pair, or if you need the long cable and the lock in the box. The same-priced 4.3-inch QingTianTongYun kit is not this pick.
Do I still need a cable with the CP5?
Yes. Wi-Fi is how the indoor monitor joins the app. A claim that the outdoor unit needs no cable contradicts EZVIZ's own page.
Is the lock included with either?
No. Neither names an electric lock in the box. You still need a strike that matches the output, and a mechanical way out that does not depend on the unlock button.
What if I will not use an app at all?
Choose the MZ-V20 if you can run four cores, or the Winnes kit if you cannot run a cable and you can accept no unlock and a bell that lifts off the bracket. The CP5's extra cost is mostly the app, RFID, and the larger review file.
