1. Please check the status of the indicator light first:

- If it is solid blue or flashing blue slowly, please refresh the home page on the EZVIZ APP to check whether the camera becomes online or not.

- If the indicator light is flashing red slowly, you can try the following two methods:

1) Please reboot your router as it may be experiencing connectivity and range issues.

2) Unplug your camera, wait for 10-30 seconds, then plug it back in to see if this solves the offline problem.

2. If the camera is still offline, you can try to reconfigure it by following the steps below:

- Connect your smartphone to your 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network if your camera supports 2.4GHz only.

- Open your EZVIZ APP, tap the three-dot icon to enter the Device Settings page and tap the Wi-Fi button.

- Reset the device by pressing the reset button for a few seconds.

- Wait for a while, make sure the indicator light turns to flash blue quickly and tap Next.

- Check that your WIFI and password are correct. Then tap Next to connect to device AP.

- Please wait for the device to be configured and your device should be back online. 

For data security and information protection, an encryption password would be required when accessing videos and live streaming. If an encryption password is required or it prompted an incorrect password, please check the following first:

1. If you have not changed the encryption password before:

The default password is the 6-digit capital letter device code, which is located on the white sticker of your camera or for verified terminals through which you set up the camera, you may find it in camera settings > Device information/About> Device QR Code > Verification Code:

- 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 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.

- If this is a shared device from the main user, please get the correct encryption password under the owner's account by following the instructions above. Or you may ask the owner to share the device again and click “Authorize encryption password” as one of the permissions when sharing.

2. If you have changed the encryption password before:

- Please make sure the password you input is correct and there is no unnecessary blank space.

- If you forget the correct encryption password, you may tap Decrypt by email or SMS to retrieve it.

- Alternatively, you may reset your camera by holding the reset button and the password would be defaulted to the original device verification code. However, please be aware that even though the password can be reset to the original device code, you will still need the old encryption password that you previously set in order to access recordings saved with the old encryption password.

Please follow the steps below:

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: Check that the power cable is not damaged or frayed.  You can also try using a different power cable to see if this solves the problem.

3. Reset the camera: Try resetting the camera by pressing and holding the Reset button for about 10 seconds. This will usually restore the camera to its default settings and may help to resolve minor problems.

If the problem persists or if you encounter any further difficulties, please don't hesitate to reach out to EZVIZ customer support for additional assistance.

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.

Please follow 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 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 reconfigure your device to the network.

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

Step 2: Tap Send to continue 

Step 3: Input the code in the picture to verify your account and then a 4-digit code will 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 

For our 1080p EZVIZ security camera, we estimate that a 16GB MicroSD card will provide approximately 28–32 days of recording under normal use, which is about a total of 1 hour of motion event recordings. Recording time for 720p cameras will be longer.
