Troubleshooting
Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure the camera is within Wi-Fi range, the 2.4 GHz band is enabled on your router, and you have entered the correct Wi-Fi password. Try restarting both the camera and your router. If issues persist, consider using the wired Ethernet connection.
No video feed in the EZVIZ app
Verify the camera is powered on and connected to your network. Check the camera's status indicator light. Restart the camera and the EZVIZ app. Ensure your internet connection is stable.
Frequent false motion alerts
Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the EZVIZ app. Utilize the AI human detection feature to filter out non-human movement. Define specific detection zones to focus on critical areas.
Poor image quality at night
Ensure the IR cut-off filter is functioning correctly. Check that the infrared LEDs are not obstructed. Clean the lens. Verify the night vision distance setting is appropriate for your environment (up to 30m).
Audio not working (cannot hear or speak)
Confirm that the two-way audio feature is enabled in the app settings. Check if the microphone and speaker on the camera are unobstructed. Ensure the EZVIZ app has permission to access the microphone on your mobile device.
