Camera Installation

Installation Location
Choose a location with a clear, unblocked field of view and with a good wireless signal to the base station. Please keep the following tips in mind:

  • Make sure the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera.
  • The camera cannot be installed in front of an air conditioner or facing direct sunlight.
  • Recommended installation height: 7-10 ft (2-3 m) above the ground.EZVIZ BC1 Wireless 1080p Battery Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera with Base Station-FIG14
  • Make sure that side-to-side traffic crosses the 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 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.

Installation Steps

  • Step 1 Place drill template onto a clean and flat surface.
  • Step 2 (For the cement wall only) Drill screw holes according to the template and insert anchors. Step 3 Use screws to fix the mounting plate according to the template.
  • Step 4 Rotate the magnetic base (Fig.1)EZVIZ BC1 Wireless 1080p Battery Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera with Base Station-FIG16 or screw base (Fig.2)EZVIZ BC1 Wireless 1080p Battery Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera with Base Station-FIG17 to the mounting plate.
  • Step 5 Mount the camera to the base.
