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.

Step 1: On the login page, input the correct account and tap Forgot password? button 

Step 2: Tap Send to continue 

Step 3: Input the verification code in the image or drag the slider to complete the puzzle to verify your account and then a 4-digit code (OTP) would be sent to your registered email address or phone number

Step 4: Input the 4-digit code you receive 

Step 5: Create your new password and tap Save to complete the process 

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.

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.

If you see "Unable to join network EZVIZ_SN" (the SN of your EZVIZ camera) or if you cannot connect to the Device AP during network configuration, we suggest you reset your camera by pressing the reset button for 4-5 seconds and restart the setup procedure.

Before doing so, please make sure that

1. Make sure that you have turned off the cellular data on your phone.

2. Make sure your device is in configuration mode. You can easily tell if the camera is ready by checking if the indicator light flashes blue quickly.

3. When configuring the network, make sure that your EZVIZ device is close to your Wi-Fi router. We recommend that you keep the distance less than 1.5 meters.

If the problem persists, please try the following method:

1. If you are using iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, please try with a different phone model;

2. Please check if you can find a Wi-Fi starting with EZVIZ_XXXXXX (the SN of your EZVIZ camera) in the Wi-Fi list of your phone;

3. If yes, please check if you can connect it manually. The password for the device Wi-Fi should be "EZVIZ_verification code" (a 6-digit capital letter code that you can find on the device label);

4. After the connection, go back to the EZVIZ app to complete the network configuration.
