Troubleshooting
Camera is offline or not connecting to Wi-Fi
Check if your Wi-Fi router is working and within range. Ensure the camera is powered on and try restarting both the camera and your router. Verify you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, as 5 GHz is not supported.
Poor video quality or frequent disconnections
Check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Obstructions like thick walls can degrade the signal. Consider moving the router closer or using a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure the camera's firmware is updated.
Human detection alerts are not triggering or are too frequent
Adjust the sensitivity settings for human detection within the EZVIZ app. Ensure the camera's field of view is not obstructed. Check if specific detection zones are configured and if they are set correctly.
Night vision is not working or is unclear
Ensure the IR LEDs are not blocked or dirty. In color night vision mode, check if the built-in spotlights are enabled and if ambient light is sufficient for them to activate. Clean the camera lens.
Cannot access recorded footage
Verify that a compatible MicroSD card is inserted correctly and has not reached its storage capacity. If using CloudPlay, check your subscription status. Ensure the camera is online when attempting to access recordings.
