What should I do if I have lost my EZVIZ device verification code

Please note that for most EZVIZ devices, there are usually three ways to obtain the 6 capital letter device code:

1. You can find it on the device label of the EZVIZ device. For doorbell devices such as DB1, please remove the device cover and scan the QR code with a third-party QR code scanner.

2. For some models, there is a QR code on the manual cover that contains device information (Note: there is no such information if the cover says "scan the QR code for detailed manual"). And you can use a third-party QR code scanner to scan it to get the device code.

3. Alternatively, you can find it in Digital Device Information or Device QR Code in Camera Settings-Device Information/About on the EZVIZ mobile app.

*Please note that for backend devices such as X5 and X4, the device code is the admin password that you set when you set up the device.

If you still need further assistance, please feel free to contact the EZVIZ support team at support@ezviz.com.

2. If you registered an account using a mobile phone number, please confirm that your mobile phone can receive SMS short codes. You can also try clearing the cache on your phone, restarting your phone, or inserting the SIM card into another phone to see if you can receive it.

Why real-time videos and playback stop automatically after 5 minutes?

Please kindly note that the device is programmed to timeout every few minutes if you are streaming through our VTDU servers. You can simply tap on the "Continue" button to continue streaming. Besides, if your device supports the LAN Live View feature, you can avoid this by putting your camera and your phone or PC under the same LAN (connecting to the same network), and then going to the More page (click the profile photo on the left top corner) > Settings > LAN Live View (for mobile phone) or Devices on LAN (for PC Studio). There you could view the camera continuously.

 

However, even when you are on the same network, you should ensure that the computer you are using is connected to the router using a cable, or if you are using a mobile phone or tablet, please ensure that you have Upnp enabled on your router.
