Changing the WiFi network for your EZVIZ cameras might seem daunting, but it’s a simple process that ensures your security system remains operational and connected. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps for reconfiguring the WiFi connection on your EZVIZ cameras, focusing on the H7C Dual Lens indoor camera. This guide is useful whether you’ve switched to a new modem or router or updated your WiFi name and password. Let’s dive in to ensure your camera stays connected and secure.
1. Identify the Need to Reconfigure the WiFi Network
When your camera is no longer connected to the network (such as after changing your WiFi), the camera’s LED will turn red, and the app will display the camera as ‘Offline.’ This is a clear indication that it’s time to reconfigure the network.
To begin, open the EZVIZ app and select the camera window. From there, go to ‘Settings,’ then ‘Network Settings,’ and choose the ‘WiFi’ option to start the reconnection process.
Note: These steps apply to all models of EZVIZ cameras, so you can follow this guide no matter which camera model you are using.
2. Reset Your EZVIZ Camera
Before you can connect to the new WiFi network, the app will prompt you to reset the camera. Here’s how to do it:
- Locate the Reset Button: For most EZVIZ models, the reset button is found on the bottom of the camera. However, for some models, it might be under the SD card slot cover.
- Press and Hold: Press and hold the reset button for up to 10 seconds until the camera restores to its factory default settings. You will hear a voice announcement confirming that the camera has been reset.
After resetting, the camera’s LED will blink, and you’ll hear a voice prompt stating, “Device WiFi configuration.” If you see the blue LED blinking faster or hear the announcement, you’re ready to continue.
3. Reconnect the Camera to the New WiFi Network
Once you’ve reset the camera, the app will guide you through the rest of the setup.
- Proceed with the Setup: Click the ‘Next’ button in the app after you hear the camera’s voice announcement. On the next screen, confirm that the camera’s indicator is flashing blue, then click ‘Next’ to proceed.
- Select the New WiFi Network: You will now be prompted to select the new WiFi network. Choose your new modem or router’s WiFi SSID, ensuring it’s a 2.4 GHz network (the camera does not currently support 5 GHz). Enter the WiFi password and click ‘Next’ to complete the connection.
4. Complete the Setup and Verify Connectivity
Once the camera connects to the new WiFi network, you will hear a voice prompt confirming the successful connection. The camera’s LED will stabilize or blink slowly, indicating that it is now properly connected to the network.
In some cases, the camera might ask you to enter the device verification code, which is typically found on a label attached to the camera body. Ensure you input the correct code to finalize the setup and secure the connection.
Now your EZVIZ camera is fully operational and can be accessed remotely through the app. You’ve successfully reconnected your camera to the new WiFi network!
5. Additional Notes
This method simplifies the reconfiguration process by bypassing the need to scan a QR code or input the camera’s serial number. It’s a straightforward way to switch WiFi networks and keep your camera connected.
