What to do if my EZVIZ camera cannot be charged

If you're encountering difficulties charging your EZVIZ camera, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the power source: Make sure the power outlet you're using is working properly. You can also try plugging the camera into a different outlet.

2. Check the power cable: Make sure the power cable is not damaged or frayed. You may also try using a different charging cable to see if that solves the problem.

3. Reset the camera: If there is still remaining power in the camera, you can try resetting the camera by pressing and holding the reset button for about 10 seconds. This will typically restore the camera to its default settings and may help resolve any charging issues.

What should I do if my camera goes offline frequently?

If your camera goes offline frequently, below are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue for you:

Step 1: Ensure both the firmware and EZVIZ app are running on the latest version.

Step 2: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network signal is good. You can check the signal by connecting your phone to the same WiFi your camera connects to, entering More page > Settings > Device Network Tools > Check WiFi signal.

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.


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.
