When this message pops up, it means that the device has already been connected to an existing EZVIZ account. To add it to a new account, you need to remove the device from the previous account since a device can only be bound to one account. For different situations, please refer to the guide below:

1) If you received the device from other people, please contact the previous owner and ask them to remove the device from their account for you. At EZVIZ, we respect the user’s ownership of their devices and data.

2) If this is a brand-new product, please return it to the place where it is purchased and explain the problem that you encountered.

3) If you’ve forgotten the login info to your old account, please try as many times as you can. We strongly encourage that you update the email or phone number before changing a service provider. We also recommend that you keep your password strong and safe to ensure the normal usage of your device.

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. 

Please note that sharing can be done in two different ways:

1. Using the Same Login Credentials: You can view the same device using the same login credentials. This means that if you provide your friend or family member with your email address or phone number associated with your EZVIZ account, along with the password, they can access the same device on that account simultaneously.

2. Sharing Your Device with Friends: This method allows you to grant friends and family the privilege to view your device without them owning it. You can achieve this using the EZVIZ App by following these steps:

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

    - Step 2: Tap "Family & Guests".

    - Step 3: Tap "Add Sharing". 

    - Step 4: Enter the email address or phone number registered with the EZVIZ account that you would like to share with, ensuring that the region of the guest account is the same as the owner account, then tap "Continue".

    - Step 5: Select the devices you wish to share, and you can edit the permissions by tapping on the device. (Note: Please remember to select “Authorize encryption password” at the bottom; otherwise, the shared account may request the encryption password to view the device.)

    Once the guest account accepts the invitation, the devices will be successfully shared.
