Setup

Follow the steps to set your camera:

Get the EZVIZ App

EZVIZ App

If you have already used the app, please make sure that it is the latest version. To find out if an update is available, go to the app store and search for EZVIZ.

Power on the Camera

If the camera is out of battery, connect it to power outlet with the power adapter for charging (5V 2A).

• Both of the power adapter (5V 2A) and solar panel need to be purchased separately.
• Remove the camera from the wall before charging.
• Please do not charge the camera when the temperature exceeds 45 degrees or below 0 degrees.
• It is not allowed to charge the camera with power adapter outdoors.
• When charging, the camera will be automatically turned on.
• For better weatherproof, always keep the USB charging port covered with the rubber plug after charging the battery.

If you want to change your camera's Wi-Fi, press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds and repeat the steps above.

Camera Installation

Installation Location

Choose a location with a clear, unblocked field of view and with a good wireless signal to the camera. Please keep the following tips in mind:

• Make sure the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera.
• Recommended installation height: 7-10 ft (2-3 m) above the ground.
• Recommended installation angle: Tilt down 20 degrees.
• Make sure that side-to-side traffic crosses camera's field of view. The camera's motion sensor is much more sensitive to sideto-side movement across its field of view than to movement directly toward or away from the camera.
  
  Limited by PIR detection technology, the camera may fail to detect motion when environment temperature is close to human body temperature or someone approaches the PIR sensor vertically.

• It is recommended to set detection sensitivity on the EZVIZ app when selecting location. Thus you can verify if motion can be detected in the camera's placement and adjust the sensitivity based on the size and distance of detected object.
  Important Notes on Reducing False Alarms:
  • Do not install the camera under strong light conditions, including sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
  • Do not place the camera near any outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat transfer vents of projectors, etc
  • Do not install the camera at places with strong wind.
  • Do not install the camera in front of a mirror.
  • Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.

Install Micro SD Card (Optional)

• Turn up the Cover on the camera.
• Insert a Micro SD card (sold separately) into the card slot as shown in the figure below.
• Place the cover back on.
  
  After installing the Micro SD card, you should initialize the card in the EZVIZ app before using it.
• In the EZVIZ app, tap the Record List in the Device Settings interface to check the SD card status.
• If the memory card status displays as Uninitialized, tap to initialize it.
  The status will then change to Normal and it can store videos.

Initiatives on the Use of Video Products

Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company, we are increasingly aware of the role technology plays in improving business efficiency and quality of life, but at the same time, the potential harm of its improper usage. For example, video products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a high value in retrospect and preserving real-time facts. However, it may also result in the infringement of a third party's legitimate rights and interests if improper distribution, use and/or processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of "Technology for the Good", EZVIZ requests that every end user of video technology and video products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as ethical customs, aiming to jointly create a better community. Please read the following initiatives carefully:

1. Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the installation of video products should not be in conflict with this reasonable expectation. Therefore, a warning notice shall be given in a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the monitoring range, when installing video products in public areas. For non-public areas, a third party's rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing video products, including but not limited to, installing video products only after obtaining the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing highly-invisible video products.
2. The purpose of video products is to record real activities within a specific time and space and under specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first reasonably define his/her own rights in such specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a third party's portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
3. During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will continue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as facial images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video products themselves could not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use the data based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers. Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and regulations and other normative requirements, but also respect international norms, social morality, good morals, common practices and other non-mandatory requirements, and respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and interests.
4. The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial. Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, setting up access control, selecting a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where video products are connected, establishing and constantly optimizing network security.
5. Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social security around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an active role in more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in violation of human rights or leading to criminal activities are contrary to the original intent of technological innovation and product development. Therefore, each user shall establish an evaluation and tracking mechanism of their product application to ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with good faith.

INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS

1. Separate collection of waste equipment: Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as waste equipment. Owners of waste equipment must dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. In particular, waste equipment does not belong in household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and rechargeable batteries as well as lamps: Owners of waste equipment shall, as a rule, separate waste batteries and rechargeable batteries that are not enclosed in the waste equipment, which can be removed from the waste equipment without being destroyed, from the waste equipment before handing them in at a collection point. This does not apply if waste equipment is prepared for reuse with the participation of a public waste management authority.
3. Options for returning waste equipment: Owners of waste equipment from private households can return it free of charge to the collection points of the public waste management authorities or to the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the Electrical and Electronics Equipment Law. Stores with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and electronic equipment and those grocery stores with a total sales area of at least 800 m² that offer electrical and electronic equipment several times a year or on a permanent basis and make it available in the market are required to take it back. This also applies in the case of distribution using means of distance communication, if the storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic equipment are at least 400 m² or the total storage and shipping areas are at least 800 m². Distributors shall, in principle, ensure take-back by providing suitable return facilities at a reasonable distance from the respective end user. The possibility of returning waste equipment free of charge exists for distributors who are obliged to take it back, among other things, if a new similar device that essentially fulfills the same functions is delivered to an end user.
4. Privacy Notice: Waste equipment often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to devices of information and telecommunications technology such as computers and smartphones. In your own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the waste equipment to be disposed of.
5. Meaning of the symbol "crossed-out wheelie bin": The symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin regularly depicted on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective device is to be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
