- How to deal with the system message “Device is offline”?
1. Please check the status of the indicator light first:
- If it is solid blue or flashing blue slowly, please refresh the home page on the EZVIZ APP to check whether the camera becomes online or not.
- If the indicator light is flashing red slowly, you can try the following two methods:
1) Please reboot your router as it may be experiencing connectivity and range issues.
2) Unplug your camera, wait for 10-30 seconds, then plug it back in to see if this solves the offline problem.
2. If the camera is still offline, you can try to reconfigure it by following the steps below:
- Connect your smartphone to your 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network if your camera supports 2.4GHz only.
- Open your EZVIZ APP, tap the three-dot icon to enter the Device Settings page and tap the Wi-Fi button.
- Reset the device by pressing the reset button for a few seconds.
- Wait for a while, make sure the indicator light turns to flash blue quickly and tap Next.
- Check that your WIFI and password are correct. Then tap Next to connect to device AP.
- Please wait for the device to be configured and your device should be back online.
- What should I do if I have lost my EZVIZ device verification code
Please note that for most EZVIZ devices, usually there are three ways to get the 6 capital letters device code:
1. You can find it on the device label of the EZVIZ device;
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.
*Please note that for backend devices such as X5 and X4, the device code is the admin password that you set when you set up the device.
If you still need further assistance, please feel free to contact the EZVIZ support team at account@ezviz.com.
- What should I do if the image is reversed?
Please follow the steps below:
Step 1: From the Home Page, tap the three-dot icon to enter the Device Setup/Settings page.
Step 2: Scroll down to tap Flip Image, or for some models, select Image Settings, and then tap Flip Image.
Step 3: The image would be flipped 180 degrees if you see the message “Flipped”.
- What if my EZVIZ camera cannot connect to network via LAN cable
We understand that you may be experiencing difficulties connecting your device online via an Ethernet cable. To troubleshoot the issue, we recommend the following steps:
1. Verify the router and cable: Ensure that both the router and cable are in proper working order. You can try using a different cable or connecting the cable to a different port on the router to eliminate any potential issues.
2. Test the connection: After checking the cable and router, attempt to establish a connection again and see if the problem persists. If it does, proceed to the next step.
If the issue persists despite trying different cables and ports, we recommend reaching out to our EZVIZ support team for further assistance.
- What should I do if the app says "Unable to join network EZVIZ_SN" during the configuration process
If you see "Unable to join network EZVIZ_SN" (the SN of your EZVIZ camera) or if you cannot connect to the Device AP during network configuration, we suggest you reset your camera by pressing the reset button for 4-5 seconds and restart the setup procedure.
Before doing so, please make sure that
1. Make sure that you have turned off the cellular data on your phone.
2. Make sure your device is in configuration mode. You can easily tell if the camera is ready by checking if the indicator light flashes blue quickly.
3. When configuring the network, make sure that your EZVIZ device is close to your Wi-Fi router. We recommend that you keep the distance less than 1.5 meters.
If the problem persists, please try the following method:
1. If you are using iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, please try with a different phone model;
2. Please check if you can find a Wi-Fi starting with EZVIZ_XXXXXX (the SN of your EZVIZ camera) in the Wi-Fi list of your phone;
3. If yes, please check if you can connect it manually. The password for the device Wi-Fi should be "EZVIZ_verification code" (a 6-digit capital letter code that you can find on the device label);
4. After the connection, go back to the EZVIZ app to complete the network configuration.
- What should I do if the live stream fails to play?
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.

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.
