Hey guys! Changing your WiFi and wondering how to get your EZVIZ camera back online? No worries, it's a pretty straightforward process. This guide will walk you through connecting your EZVIZ camera to a new WiFi network, ensuring your home security system stays up and running. Let's dive in!

Why You Need to Reconnect Your EZVIZ Camera

Before we get started, let's quickly cover why you need to reconnect your EZVIZ camera when you change your WiFi. Your camera stores your WiFi network information to automatically connect to the internet. When you switch to a new network, the old credentials become invalid, leaving your camera disconnected. This means no more live feeds, motion detection alerts, or recording until you update the WiFi settings. Keeping your camera connected is crucial for maintaining security and peace of mind.

Common Scenarios Requiring WiFi Reconnection

There are several situations where you might need to reconnect your EZVIZ camera to a new WiFi network. Here are a few common examples:

• Changing Your Router: When you upgrade your router or switch to a different brand, your WiFi network name (SSID) and password often change. This is the most frequent reason for needing to reconnect your devices.
• Moving to a New Home: If you move to a new residence, you'll definitely need to connect your camera to the new WiFi network available at your new place.
• Updating Your WiFi Credentials: Sometimes, you might change your WiFi password for security reasons or to simplify it. Any change to your WiFi credentials requires you to update the settings on your EZVIZ camera.
• Experiencing Connectivity Issues: If your camera is frequently disconnecting or showing as offline, reconnecting to the WiFi can sometimes resolve underlying connectivity issues.

Prerequisites

Before starting the reconnection process, make sure you have the following:

• Your EZVIZ Camera: Obviously, you'll need the camera you want to connect. Ensure it's powered on and within range of your new WiFi network.
• Your Smartphone or Tablet: You'll need a smartphone or tablet with the EZVIZ app installed.
• EZVIZ App: Download and install the EZVIZ app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Make sure you have the latest version installed.
• EZVIZ Account: You should already have an EZVIZ account. If not, create one within the app.
• New WiFi Network Credentials: Have your new WiFi network name (SSID) and password handy. You'll need these to connect your camera.
• Reset Tool (if necessary): Some cameras might require a reset if the reconnection process fails. Check your camera's manual for the location of the reset button. Usually, it's a small hole that you can press with a pin or paperclip.

Step-by-Step Guide to Connect Your EZVIZ Camera to a New WiFi

Okay, let's get to the main part. Here’s how to connect your EZVIZ camera to your new WiFi:

Step 1: Power Cycle Your Camera

Start by power cycling your EZVIZ camera. Unplug the camera from the power outlet, wait about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. This simple step can often resolve minor glitches and ensure a smooth reconnection process. Wait for the camera to fully boot up; this usually takes a minute or two. You'll typically see an indicator light that shows the camera is ready.

Step 2: Log in to the EZVIZ App

Open the EZVIZ app on your smartphone or tablet and log in using your credentials. If you've enabled biometric login, you can use your fingerprint or facial recognition for a quick login. Ensure that your app is updated to the latest version from the app store. This ensures you have all the latest features and bug fixes.

Step 3: Access Camera Settings

Once you're logged in, you should see a list of your EZVIZ devices on the home screen. Tap on the camera you want to connect to the new WiFi. This will open the live view of the camera. Look for a settings icon (usually a gear or three dots) within the camera's interface and tap on it to access the camera settings menu. The location of this icon may vary slightly depending on your camera model, but it's usually easily identifiable.

Step 4: Navigate to WiFi Settings

In the camera settings menu, look for an option related to WiFi or network settings. It might be labeled as "WiFi Configuration," "Network Settings," or something similar. Tap on this option to proceed to the WiFi settings screen. Here, you’ll see the current WiFi network the camera is connected to (if any) and options to change or update the network.

Step 5: Select Your New WiFi Network

The app will now scan for available WiFi networks in your area. A list of available networks will appear on your screen. Find your new WiFi network in the list and tap on it. If your network is hidden, you might need to manually enter the SSID (network name). Be careful to enter the SSID correctly, as it is case-sensitive.

Step 6: Enter Your WiFi Password

After selecting your WiFi network, you'll be prompted to enter the password. Type in your WiFi password carefully, making sure you haven't made any typos. Double-check the password to ensure it's correct. Some apps have a
