Introduction

I own two Ezviz CCTV cameras, and they have been working fine. However, one day both cameras failed to record a specific movement within a given time frame. Initially, I suspected a fault with the cameras or that someone might have tried to turn them off. But it turned out that the cause was a brief power outage in my area, lasting only about two to four minutes. During this time, the cameras were turned off and then turned back on once the power was restored. To confirm this, I need to check the camera logs to verify that the power outage is what caused the issue.

Tools needed.

  • Windows Laptop
  • EZVIZ Studio

EZVIZ Studio

EZVIZ provides a Windows application that allows users to monitor and make adjustments to their cameras. The desktop version offers more functionality and settings options compared to the mobile app. While the application may not have the most attractive interface, it gets the job done effectively.

Offical Downlaod Link

Download the windows pieces software and install it on your machine. This machine needs to be connected to the same Wi-fi which the cameras are connected to.

After a successful installation, simply log into your account and ensure that the application performs a default scan to detect all the cameras connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Once the scan is complete, this is what the interface will look like.
