In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to connect any brand of 4G SIM router to any model of EZVIZ Wi-Fi cameras and add the camera to the ‘EZVIZ’ app.
First, we need to configure the 4G SIM router’s SSID and password to simple characters to ensure the cameras connect easily.
Connect your mobile phone to the 4G router’s Wi-Fi, then start configuring the 4G SIM router.
Open a browser and enter the Wi-Fi router’s IP address, which is located on the label behind the router.
Then, enter the router’s username and password, which are also located on the label behind the router.
After logging in, you’ll see a setup wizard or introduction screen. You can skip this.
Once you access the router’s web interface, you’ll find a variety of information displayed, depending on the router model.
This information might include, Connection Status, Network Details, Wireless Settings and Security Settings.
Navigate to the “Wireless Settings” section to configure your Wi-Fi SSID and password. This section might also be labeled as “Wi-Fi” or “WLAN Settings” depending on the router model.
Change the SSID (Network Name) with combination of letters and numbers without specical characters: This is the name that will appear on your devices’ Wi-Fi lists when searching for networks.
Choose an easy password containing letters and numbers for easy connection to cameras.
Save the configuration once you change the Wi-Fi settings.
Connect your phone to the new Wi-Fi network that you configured earlier.
Now, let’s connect the EZVIZ Wi-Fi camera to the router and add the camera to the ‘EZVIZ’ app.
Note : When configuring the WiFi, keep the camera near the internet modem or router to set up the WiFi and mobile app. Afterward, fix their location.
When powering up the camera, you will hear a voice announcement instructing you to connect to the network.
Also, the camera’s blue LED starts flashing.
If not, press and hold the reset button for up to 10 seconds to restore the camera to factory settings.
Once you hear the voice prompt or see the flashing blue LED, start adding the camera on the app.
Make sure your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi internet network before adding the device.
You can add the camera by clicking on ‘Add Device’ or the ‘+’ symbol to head to Add device.
Select the device type model.
Then camera scanner will open for scanning the QR code from the camera.
Check that the ‘Device is powered on’ is selected, then click on the ‘Next’ button.
Click on the ‘Start’ button and select the option ‘Indicator Flashes Blue’ to configure the Wi-Fi.
Allow the app to access your location.
Select the 4G router WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
Click on the ‘Connect’ option to connect the device’s Wi-Fi and complete the Wi-Fi configuration.
Enter or select your desired device name.
Successful configuration, the voice prompt will confirm this, and the camera’s blue LED will remain stable.
Note : The newly inserted memory card must be configured for the first time.
During the setup process, the camera typically guides you through initializing the memory card. This usually involves selecting the “initialize” option from the camera’s menu or setup wizard. By clicking on this option, the camera will begin the process of formatting the memory card, preparing it for use with the camera’s recording system.
Also, make sure to configure the camera’s time zone, date and time settings in the camera settings menu.
Change the encryption password to your own instead of using the camera label verification code if you are notified.
The camera is now fully operational, offering live streaming, playback, and event notification features accessible from anywhere via mobile data or WiFi internet connections worldwide.
