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.

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.

Regarding this, please try switching the network your phone connects to, for example, using phone data or if your router is dual band, using 5G Wi-Fi.

Meanwhile, kindly note that network connection may affect the streaming performance of your EZVIZ devices, thus we do suggest an average upload speed of 2 Mbps or better. To check the speed, you may stand by your EZVIZ device, connect your mobile phone to your Wi-Fi, and visit www.speedtest.net to test.

(For a 3MP device, we do suggest an average upload speed of 3 Mbps or better. If a 4MP device, we do suggest an average upload speed of 4 Mbps or better.)

If you are still experiencing live view issues in your Wi-Fi network, you may also try to change the channel settings for your router or remove some devices you seldom use from your router to ensure sufficient bandwidth.

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.
