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.

Get the EZVIZ App

• Connect your mobile phone to Wi-Fi using your 2.4GHz network
• Download and install the EZVIZ app by searching for “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”.

Add the camera to EZVIZ

1. Log in to your EZVIZ app account.

2. On the Home screen, tap “+” on the upper-right corner to go to the Scan QR Code interface.

3. Scan the QR code on the Quick Start Guide cover or on the body of the camera.

4. Follow the EZVIZ app wizard to finish network configuration of the camera.

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: 10.0 ft (3m);
• Detection distance range: 6.5-32.8 ft (2-10m).
• 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.

****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 Too Much 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.

Installation Steps
The camera can be wall mounted and ceiling mounted. Ceiling/Wall Mount

1. Please separate the mounting base and the camera first.
   

2. Remove the protective film from the lens.

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 reproce

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.
