If you encounter difficulties when trying to initialize the SD card via the EZVIZ APP, below are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue for you:

1. Ensure both the firmware of your camera and EZVIZ APP are running on the latest version.

2. Ensure the SD card is class 10 or rated at UHS-1. The file format of the SD card should be FAT32 for capacities below 64GB and exFAT for capacities of 64GB and above. Click Here to view partial test results of SD card compatibility.

3. Power off your camera, remove and reinsert the SD card, power the camera on and then initialize the card again on the EZVIZ APP.

4. To further rule out the SD card issue, you may try to test with a different SD card or install the card in question on another EZVIZ device. 

5. Try to factory reset your camera by holding the Reset button. This will turn the device to the default factory settings and might help resolve minor issues.

1. Download the EZVIZ APP to your mobile phone from the App Store (for iOS), Google Play (for Android), or HUAWEI APP Gallery (for HUAWEI).

2. Register an EZVIZ account with your email or phone number and log in.

3. Reset your camera by pressing the reset button for about 10-15 seconds, for some cameras you will hear the voice of "Reset successfully". Then wait for about 1 minute or a few seconds, when you see the indicator light change into red-blue flashing alternately or blue light flashing fast (for some cameras, there is no light change for your reference, that's ok, you just wait for about 1 minute).

4. Connect your phone to 2.4G wifi only, then tap the "+" button on the home page to scan the QR code that is on the label of the device. You can find a label on the back or bottom of the device. (Please make sure your phone is connected to 2.4G wifi only and you give the camera permission to the EZVIZ app)

5. Then follow the instructions on the APP to connect the device to your wifi.

6. After adding the device to your account, you will be able to view your cameras.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Reset the camera by pressing the Reset button for 4-5 seconds.

2. Connect the camera to the LAN port of your router using the Ethernet cable.

*When the LED indicator turns slow-flashing blue, it indicates that the camera is connected to the router.

3. Log in to your account using the EZVIZ app.

4. On the Home screen, tap the“+” on the upper-right corner to go to the Scan QR Code interface.

5. Scan the QR code on the sticker of the camera.

6. Follow the EZVIZ app wizard to add the camera to your EZVIZ app account.

If you see the "Incorrect device Wi-Fi password" prompt when you connect to the device Wi-Fi during network setup, please follow these steps to see if they help:

1. go to your phone settings and find Wi-Fi settings.

2. locate the device Wi-Fi which is named EZVIZ_SN (the SN of your camera, for example, EZVIZ_D12345678).

3. forget or delete the device Wi-Fi from your Wi-iFi list and then reconnect it by manually inputting the password, which is EZVIZ_verification code (for example, if the 6 capital letters verification code on the device label is ABCDEF, the password should be EZVIZ_ABCDEF).

4. after connection, go back to the EZVIZ app to retry.

The encryption password is the verification code of the camera by default which is located on the white sticker of your camera or for verified terminals, you may find it in camera settings > About/Device information > Device QR Code > Verification Code.

If you have forgotten your image encryption password, you can also decrypt images or videos via email or SMS. In the decryption pop-up, you will find it below the input field.

Alternatively, you can reset your camera by pressing the Reset button and the password will be reset to the original device verification code.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Make sure that the Wi-Fi router is good and functional. You can check it on EZVIZ mobile app by clicking "Network Testing" on the configuration failed page or check if your mobile phone can browse the Internet by turning off data and connecting only to Wi-Fi.

2. For EZVIZ devices that support 2.4G Wi-Fi only, ensure that you connect your mobile phone to 2.4G Wi-Fi before network configuration. 

3. Make sure that your Wi-Fi network signal is good. Most EZVIZ devices perform better when the upload speed is higher than 2 Mbps for each camera. You can check your Wi-Fi signal in the EZVIZ mobile app by clicking the profile photo on the top left--Settings--Device Network Tools--Check Wi-Fi Signal. 

4. If not good, please follow the steps below to improve your network:

- you can try to move the camera closer to your router, avoid obstacles and interferences such as wall, elevator, microwave, washing machines and Bluetooth devices. 

- If possible, unplug some infrequently used devices from your router or reboot the router.

- Try to change the Wi-Fi channel to a less crowded one. 

5. Please also review some other network requirements that may help resolve your issue: 

- Make sure that DHCP is enabled on your router.

- Verify that IPV6 is turned off on your router.  

- Make sure that the blacklist/whitelist firewall settings are turned off on your router.

6. If your camera supports Ethernet cable, you can also try to connect it via cable. Alternatively, if possible, try connecting the camera to another home Wi-Fi. 

Please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your EZVIZ account.

2. On the Home page, click the 3-dot icon next to the name of your camera to enter the Device Settings page.

3. Tap Storage Status or Record List.

4. Tap Memory Card and then tap Initialize/Reformat.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your EZVIZ account.

2. On the Home page, click the 3-dot icon next to the name of your camera to enter the Device Settings page.

3. Turn on the Alarm Notification button, then you will be able to receive the messages when motion detection is triggered. Turn off the Alarm Notification button if you do not want to receive alerts. 

4. For some other models, you need to enter Notification on the Settings page, enable Receive Device Message and EZVIZ App Notification. You may disable the Receive Device Message feature if you do not want to receive alerts. 

If you have already installed an SD card in your camera, but the status on the EZVIZ APP shows "No memory card" or "Please insert an SD card", below are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue for you:

Step 1: Ensure both the firmware of your camera and the EZVIZ APP are running on the latest version.

Step 2: Ensure the SD card is class 10 or rated at UHS-1. The file format of the SD card should be FAT32 for capacities below 64GB and exFAT for capacities of 64GB and above.

We do recommend you check the compatible list on our website.

Step 3: Power off your camera, remove and reinsert the SD card, power the camera on, and then initialize the card again on the EZVIZ APP if the SD card can be recognized. Meanwhile, please make sure that the card has been installed correctly and is not defective or damaged.

*Before initialization, do remember to backup important files by saving or exporting them if necessary.

Step 4: If not working, try to factory reset your camera by holding the Reset button. This will turn the device to the default factory settings and might help resolve minor issues.

Step 5: To further rule out the SD card issue, you may try to test with a different SD card or install the card in question on another EZVIZ device.

Step 1: Log in to your EZVIZ account, tap the profile icon on the top left 

Step 2: Tap Family & Guests

Step 3: Tap Add Sharing  

Step 4: Input a valid EZVIZ account to which you would like to share, and ensure the region of the guest account is the same as the owner account, then tap Continue 

Step 5: Select the devices you would like to share and you can edit the permissions by tapping the device. After the guest account accepts the invitation, it means the devices are shared with success. 

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.

Before setting up, please make sure you have already inserted an SD card into your camera. 

Please also make sure the SD card has been initialized on the EZVIZ APP before using.

Then open the EZVIZ APP, from the Home Page, tap the three-dot icon to enter the Device Settings page, scroll down to find Storage Status or Record List, and enable the "All Day" button for the Memory card.  

If you have an EZVIZ battery camera and it supports Power Plugged-in mode, you can enable the all-day recording function by following the steps below: enter the Device Settings page, tap Working Mode, and select Power Plugged-in mode. Meanwhile, it is highly recommended to keep the camera plugged in while using this feature.
