Camera Connections

Before You Get Started…

  • Wi-Fi and a broadband internet connection.
  • An Ezlo Plus or Ezlo Secure Smart Hub.
  • An iOS or Android phone or tablet with the Vera Mobile app installed (visit ezlo.com/app to download).
  • A power outlet near the desired camera location.
  • A drill and Phillips screwdriver bit.
Choosing Wi-Fi or Ethernet

For maximum flexibility, the VistaCam 1103 can be connected to your router wirelessly (Wi-Fi) or by ethernet cable.
Which should you choose?

Wi-Fi
Wireless connections is the most convenient connection method, as there’s no need to run additional wiring to the camera’s location. However, in homes that have poor Wi-Fi coverage or if you experience camera connection issues, Wi-Fi is not recommended.

Ethernet
Using a direct ethernet connection between the camera and your router is the most reliable method of connection. This is recommended for camera locations that may be far away from your Wi-Fi router.

Initial Setup

It’s best to perform the initial setup of the camera near your home router.

  1. Attach the Wi-Fi Antenna to the back of the camera by screwing it in tightly (for ethernet connections, connect your camera to your router with the included ethernet cable).
  2. Open the Vera Mobile app on your smart phone or tablet (visit ezlo.com/app to download).
  3. From the Main Menu, select Devices, then tap the + symbol in the top right corner.
  4. Select Cameras, then VistaCam 1103.
  5. Follow the instructions in the Device Pairing Wizard to complete setting up your camera.
  6. Once you have finished with the Device Pairing Wizard, you can find and view your camera’s video feed by selecting Cameras from the Main Menu.
  7. Now you can disconnect the power (and ethernet cable, if applicable) and mount your camera in your desired location (see next page).

Before You Mount Your Camera

When choosing a location to mount your camera, it’s important to keep the following in mind:

  • Avoid aiming the camera in a direction that would point directly into the sun (adjustments to this can easily be made after mounting).
  • Point your camera at the center point of the area you wish to provide video coverage and be aware of any trees, shrubs, or other objects that could block the camera’s view.
  • If you’ve paired your camera using a Wi-Fi connection, ensure your install location has good Wi-Fi signal coverage.

Testing Wi-Fi Strength at the camera location

  1. Bring your smartphone near your preferred camera location.
  2. Make sure your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
  3. With your phone, visit a website or stream an online video.
  4. If websites and videos load and play quickly, then the location most likely has acceptable Wi-Fi coverage.

Mounting Your Camera

Using an appropriately-sized bit, drill two pilot holes 1-¾” apart. You can also use the template on the next page to mark your pilot hole locations.
Using a 3/4” bit, drill a wiring access hole centered between your two pilot holes (to accommodate the camera’s wire connections through the wall).
After drilling these holes, insert the camera’s wires through the wiring access hole and secure the camera to the wall with the two provided screws.
Note: Installations into softer wall materials will require use of the included plastic wall anchors.

Mounting Your Camera

Make Your Connections

Make the following connections behind the wall where you mounted the camera:

  • Plug the camera’s power adapter into a wall outlet or extension cord, then connect it to the camera’s power connector.
  • For ethernet installations, connect an ethernet cable directly between the camera and internet router.

Using Your Camera

After finishing the previous step, wait two minutes for the camera to power up and reconnect to the network.
Now you can test the camera’s functionality by opening the Vera Mobile app, selecting “Devices”, then selecting the camera that you’ve named during the wizard.
