   – Connect your mobile phone to Wi-Fi (suggested).
   – Download and install the EZVIZ app by searching “EZVIZ” in the App Store or Google Play™
   – Launch the app and register an EZVIZ user account.
   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.
   2. Add camera to EZVIZ
   – Press and hold the RESET button on the camera for 5 seconds. The LED indicator will fast flash blue.
   – Log in to your account using the EZVIZ app.
   – On the Home screen, tap “+” on the upper-right corner to go to the Scan QR Code interface.

Installation

1. 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.
   • Camera cannot be installed in front of an air conditioner or facing direct sunlight.
   • Recommended installation height: 10 ft (3 m) above the ground.
   Recommended installation angle: Tilt down 15 degrees.
   • Make sure that side-to-side traffic crosses camera’s field of view. The camera’s motion sensor is much more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field of view than to movement directly toward or away from the camera.
   • It is recommended to set detection sensitivity on 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.

2. Installation Steps
   – Place drill template onto a clean and flat surface.
   – (For cement wall only) Drill screw holes according to the template, and insert anchors.
   – Use screws to fix the mounting plate according to the template.
   – Rotate the magnetic base (Fig.1) or screw base (Fig.2) to the mouting plate.
   – Mount the camera to the base.

Initiatives on the Use of Video Products

Thank you for choosing EZVIZ 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.
