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 on 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 on 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 the methods mentioned above do not resolve your issue, please ensure not to delete the device from your account and promptly reach out to the EZVIZ support team at account@ezviz.com or engage with the online chat agent via the chat window located at the bottom right of this page.

1. If you registered an account via email, please check your junk mail. If you still do not receive the verification code, you may have an email filter/block that is restricting this email. Please check with your email provider.

2. If you registered an account using a mobile phone number, please confirm that your mobile phone can receive SMS short codes. You can also try clearing the cache on your phone, restarting your phone, or inserting the SIM card into another phone to see if you can receive it.

3. If the issue persists after following the above steps and you need additional assistance, please provide your camera's SN, your phone number/email address, your country, the time of your request and a short video of the issue to the support center at support@ezviz.com.

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 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".

EZVIZ develops and applies new technologies to improve product performance and enhance user experience, while ensuring that our practices responsibly and actively contribute to building a safer, better IoT space. With day-to-day persistence and step-by-step progress, EZVIZ continues to improve and go beyond the industry’s requirements for security and reliability.

As smart home technologies evolve and people’s urge for innovations increases, EZVIZ has been moving fast to expand its product portfolio with competitive offerings to meet both market expectations and user demands. To date, a variety of EZVIZ products – including smart home cameras, video doorbells, smart locks, and vacuum cleaners – are equipped with or on the way to integrate AI-powered features to provide advanced smart capabilities, via local AI chips or cloud-assisted technology. These AI features are enabled by secure, productive processing to detect important activities, provide automatic operation, and offer greater convenience. Moreover, users are given options to control and manage the operation of AI features with flexible settings and privacy features in every of them.

The AI technology that we have employed >

- Our AI technology is focused on enhancing the functionality and user experience of our smart home products, always operating within precisely scoped application fields and predefined scenario frameworks.

- Our AI technology, as well as the infrastructure for it such as the cloud platform, are self-developed by EZVIZ’s in-house teams. Although we could adopt some open-source models in the initial stage or may use third-party resources, our AI technology and the relating infrastructure are always designed, managed, and controlled by EZVIZ itself, to ensure that they always and completely align with our principles and practices.

- We firmly believe that the AI technology is just a tool, and users are the only ones who decide whether and how to use this tool. We provide setting options for AI-powered features, allowing users to freely and easily set the usage plan according to their own situation.

- Although some of our AI technologies may involve personal data processing, it is also very common that such use does not involve user’s personal data, such as detection features based on the general shapes of humans, pets and objects. At the same time, most of our AI technologies only run locally on the device, greatly eliminating the possibility of personal data security risks at the initial source.

- Even for AI algorithms that involve cloud-based capabilities, their operation process is strictly defined and firmly controlled -- the users are the only ones who have control over the input and output data of the AI; generally, the input data are those captured by the user’s devices, and the output data are only accessible to the users themselves (and the ones authorized by the users, if any).

- We have never and will not use any data contributed by the users for the purposes without or beyond the user’s authorization. Meanwhile, at EZVIZ, it is strictly prohibited to access user data solely for the purpose of algorithm training.

- We have never been and will never be involved in any business that is unlawful or ethically flawed according to common sense, including but not limited to, the prohibited AI practices under the EU’s AI Act, the fully automated decision-making defined by the EU’s GDPR, and so on.

The principles and rules that we follow to use AI >

- Legal & Ethical Practices: We strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and adhere to widely accepted ethical principles of science and technology.

- Self-controllability: We insist on researching and developing AI technology by ourselves to ensure full-process and completely control.

l   Business Necessity: We only use AI when it is clearly necessary to achieve the business purposes that are reasonable and user-friendly.

- Minimal adverseness: We try our best to minimize data involvement and environmental influence.

- Transparency: We disclose our policies and applications to the public through various channels, and conduct user experience research regularly and productively.

- Accountability: We are open to receive supervision from users and the public via email, phone, or other communication channels, with efficient internal mechanisms in place to provide timely responses and continuously improve our practices.

How we conduct AI-related business >

- Clearly define the business purposes (what kind of capability to develop on which/what product) and identify the responsible business owner;

- Thoroughly compare and evaluate the possible ways to achieve the defined purpose from the technical perspective, including the option of device-local or cloud-supported solutions, the type of needed data and their processing, and the verification methods to ensure accuracy and security of the output results;

- Widely consult with relevant professional departments to obtain non- technical input, including but not limited to the Data Protection Officer, Legal and Compliance Department; then carry out the targeted evaluation work, such as the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), scientific and technological ethical review;

- inalize the business plan based on the assessment of all relevant parties, which should especially pay attention to: Confirming the legal basis for data processing; Practicing privacy protection by implementing “Privacy by Design” and “Privacy by Default”; Building the systematic methods and measures for data security; Establishing ways to safeguard data subjects’ rights and interests;

- Formulate internal management standards to appropriately limit staff activities throughout the design, development and operational management process, develop appropriate access controls, and provide sufficient training and guidance;

- Carry out extensive testing and effective audits to ensure that the actual business activities are fully in line with the purpose for which they were designed, and, in particular, that they do not involve additional data processing beyond the defined scope;

- Closely monitor developments and changes of the relevant factors, including self-checking the laws and regulations, understanding the impact and risks associated with the latest technologies and solutions, and assessing the need to update and improve policies and practices.

How users can manage and control AI features >

For most of the AI-powered features, EZVIZ has developed flexible settings via the EZVIZ App, so that users can choose to enable or disable them at any time via their mobile devices for each applicable product model.

For most activity detection features, users also have the option to adjust the detection sensitivity and customize the detection areas according to their needs. In addition, EZVIZ has introduced many privacy-enhancing features such as the sleep mode, privacy shutter, and no-filming privacy zones, to help users avoid unnecessary or inappropriate detection activities and related video recording.

For more information about EZVIZ’s practices on data security and privacy protection, you can visit the EZVIZ Trust Center.

A quick guide to the AI capabilities that we offer >

*The list may not include all AI features EZVIZ offers as it is subject to change when the EZVIZ products and services are updated.

* Please be aware of the fact and associated risks that the AI technology explained is subject to continuous improvement, and its actual operation may result in inaccuracies. We strongly recommend that you do not rely unconditionally on the AI technology, but rather develop your own method to use it appropriately in different situations.

Currently, the AI capabilities in EZVIZ products are primarily focused on the following areas: enhancing home security, facilitating home routines, and automating preset tasks for a better user experience.

The AI algorithms listed are some typical examples. Their use does not involve the collection or processing of specific data such as specific facial features, physical characteristics, verbal content, etc. Meanwhile, although the EZVIZ products that use these algorithms are produced by us, EZVIZ will NEVER participate in the processing of data resulting from the running of the algorithm, unless it is specifically agreed by the user and is necessary to provide the service specified by the user.

If you have installed an SD card, but the camera is not recording to it, below are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue for you:

1. Try to test by enabling “Alarm Notification” or “Notification” in camera Settings, waving your hand in front of the camera lens until you receive the alarm notification, and then checking whether you could play back the footage to further determine the issue.

2. If no recordings, ensure both the firmware and EZVIZ app are running on the latest version.

3. 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 to click https://support.ezviz.com/faq/264 to check the compatibility of your SD card first.)

4. Ensure the installation orientation of the SD card is correct

5. Ensure the SD card is initialized on EZVIZ app before using and the status should be Initialized or Normal. You can check the status in camera settings>Storage Status>Memory Card or camera settings>Record List>Memory Card. If the status shows abnormal or uninitialized, try to format it again through EZVIZ app. (Before formatting, do remember to back up important files.)

6. To further rule out the card issue, you may try to test with a different SD card or install the card in question on a different EZVIZ device.

7. 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.

Kindly note the actual battery life will vary depending on environmental factors, network stability, and the frequency of camera activities. 

Thus, to optimize the battery life, we suggest you check the following:

2. Weak Wi-Fi connection. Please ensure the network connection is good and there is no barrier or radio interference between your camera and your router causing an unstable network. You may open the EZVIZ mobile app > enter camera Settings > Network Settings and tap Wi-Fi Signal Strength to test the signal.

3. Meanwhile, you can try the below settings to reduce battery drain:

- enable Power Saving or Super Power Saving mode (only active live view can wake up the camera) in camera Settings > Working Mode or Battery.

- decrease detection sensitivity in camera Settings > Intelligent Detection.

- draw detection areas in camera Settings > Intelligent Detection.

Regarding your issue, please kindly note that since the human body temperature is generally constant at around 37 degrees which emits infrared rays with a specific wavelength of about 10um, PIR detection is based on the induction of the infrared rays emitted by the human body.

Therefore, the detection accuracy is highly affected by the installation conditions and environment. You could choose to do the below modification to improve the PIR detection accuracy:

1) It is advised to install the device at a height of around 2-3 meters above the ground and at an angle of 20 degrees downward;

2) Ensure the device is kept away from air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves, and other areas like directly facing the window where the air movement is active;

3) Try to avoid obstacles and interference such as huge furniture and large bonsai;

In addition, please note that it is also related to the direction of the human movement. The PIR sensor is the least sensitive to the radial movement response, and the most sensitive to the transverse direction (that is, the direction perpendicular to the radius) movement.

Meanwhile, when the ambient temperature increases in summer, and the ambient temperature and the human body temperature might become relatively close, the detection function and sensitivity of the sensor might decrease, and sometimes the triggering might be not very sensitive as well.

Please be advised that error code 330007 typically indicates a failure to connect to the server. Regarding this, please try to restart your mobile phone and EZVIZ device to re-configure. 

RS2 has four cleaning modes: [Vacuum Before Mop], [Vacuum While Mop], [Vacuum Only], and [Mop Only].

Any IPC/security camera that supports ONVIF protocol or EZVIZ proprietary protocol. 

We understand that you are experiencing human detection problems with your EZVIZ door viewer. Regarding this, here are some troubleshooting tips that we suggest you try.

1. Ensure the firmware of your device is up to the latest. (Check firmware version in device Settings > Device Information. If not the latest, you would be prompted to upgrade it.)

2. Check sensitivity settings. In device settings > Intelligent Detection > Detection Sensitivity, under PIR Infrared Detection, move the slider to the right to increase the sensitivity level.

3. Try to turn off Loitering Detection or decrease the period (also in device Settings > Intelligent Detection), as the longer the period is, the more time the device will need to trigger detection.

4. Try to select High-Performance Mode (in device Settings > Battery> Working Mode) and check whether you will receive more alarms.

5. Try horizontal movement and see whether the device would be triggered, as all PIR sensors are more sensitive to horizontal movements than vertical movements.

6. Try to reset the device

Regarding this issue, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

- Ensure that the power source is functioning properly.

- Examine the charging contacts on both the robot and the charging dock. Make sure they are clean and free from dust or dirt. If you notice any debris, use a damp cloth or wet wipes to clean the contacts before attempting to charge again.

- Please turn off the Charging in off-peak time feature on the EZVIZ APP by going to the Device Settings page>More>Charging in off-peak time.

After performing these checks, see if the charging issue is resolved. If you continue to experience problems, please reach out to our support team at cleaning.eu@ezviz.com for further assistance.
