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.
For this situation, you need to reconfigure the camera by following the steps below:
1. Press and hold the RESET button on your camera for about 5-10 seconds to reset it. This will allow you to start the process of reconnecting the device to the Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure your EZVIZ device is in Wi-Fi configuration mode.
3. Open the EZVIZ mobile app on your smartphone.
4. From the Home page of the app, tap the 3-dot icon next to the name of your camera to enter the Device Settings page.
5. Tap the "Wi-Fi" or "Network Settings>Wi-Fi".
6. Follow the prompts and instructions in the EZVIZ mobile app to enter the new Wi-Fi password to connect your device to your Wi-Fi network again.
Please note that for most EZVIZ devices, there are usually three ways to get the 6 capital letters device code:
1. You can find it on the device label of the EZVIZ device;
- For models such as BC1 and HB3 kit, the default password is the 6-digit capital letter device code located at the white sticker of the base station.
- For models such as DB2 and DB2C kit, the default password is the 6-digit capital letter device code located at the white sticker of the chime.
- For models such as DB1, please remove the cover of the doorbell and scan the code with a third-party QR code scanner.
- If the camera is linked to an NVR/DVR, such as an X4 or X5 device, and if it is initially set up by adding to NVR/DVR directly, the password will be the admin/login password of the NVR/DVR you created for the NVR/DVR during the initial setup.
2. For some models, there is a QR code on the manual cover that contains device information (Note: no such info if on the cover it 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 the Device QR Code or Verification Code in the camera Settings > Device Info/About on the EZVIZ mobile app if you have previously set up the device with this phone. Apart from this, for some models, if the cameras are online now, you can also tap the eye-like icon, and enter the OTP (one-time password) sent to the e-mail address or phone number you used to register the EZVIZ account, then the verification code will be displayed after verification.
If you still need further assistance, please feel free to contact the EZVIZ support team at account@ezviz.com or the online chat agent via the chat window at the bottom right of this page.

1) Every EZVIZ device
comes with a factory programmed verification code or Users have to set their
own passwords. For privacy protection, unauthorized users cannot access videos,
playback and images without a verification code.
2) EZVIZ adopts HTTPS in order to protect users' connection to our website. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encryption and secure identification of the server.
3) EZVIZ uses end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption to prevent data interception and theft.
4) Only valid emails/phone numbers can be used to register EZVIZ account, EZVIZ implements email/phone number verification by sending verification codes to allow users complete critical account activities, like creating an account, retrieving lost password etc.
If your camera goes offline frequently, below are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue for you:

Step 3: If not good, you can try to move the camera closer to your router, avoid obstacles and interference such as wall, elevator, microwave, washing machines, and Bluetooth devices.
Step 4: If your WiFi router has an adjustable antenna, try pointing it in various directions.
Step 5: Try to change the Wi-Fi channel to a less crowded one.
Step 6: If possible, disconnect some devices you seldom use from your router.
Step 7: If your camera supports Ethernet cable, you can also try to connect it using a cable.
Step 8: If you have two EZVIZ devices and the other one is working fine, you can also try to switch the locations to further determine the issue.
