I’m one of those people who frequently deletes EZVIZ cameras from the app. As a CCTV technician, I have to try connecting them to my personal account as a test before installing the cameras in customers’ homes. Furthermore, customers often forget their EZVIZ accounts. To add an EZVIZ camera to a new account, the EZVIZ camera connected to the old account must be removed, or more commonly known as disassociated from the old account. If the camera is still connected to the old account, it cannot be connected to the new account.
This guide, written based on my personal experience, will explain in detail how to safely remove an EZVIZ camera from the app.
Delete an EZVIZ Camera From the App Is an Easy Job
Deleting an EZVIZ camera from the app is a simple task, provided you can still open the camera from the app. But for some reason, there are still users who are confused about how to do it. There are two ways to remove an EZVIZ camera from the app:
- Press the Delete button in the camera settings
- Applying for unbind
What is the difference between the two methods above?
You can delete a camera by pressing the Delete button in the camera settings if you can still access the camera. The “Applying for unbind” method removes the camera from your account if you can’t access or open the settings.
How to Remove EZVIZ Camera from EZVIZ App?
Follow these simple steps to remove your EZVIZ camera. This guide shows you how to delete your account by pressing the Delete button in the app.
Open the EZVIZ app.
Log in to the EZVIZ app using your registered account. If you’re already logged in, opening the app will take you directly to the dashboard.
Tap the three dots on the CCTV camera screen that appears.
Select Device Settings.
On the Settings page, scroll down until you reach the bottom. You’ll then see the Erase Device button. Click it, and a confirmation window will appear.
Click the OK button to remove the CCTV camera from the EZVIZ application.
What Happens After an EZVIZ Camera Is Removed From the App?
The most important thing is that you lose access to the camera.
Not only that, but deleting the camera from the app also results in the loss of playback access. Therefore, the best course of action before deleting the camera from the app is to copy the video recordings stored on the memory card by downloading them directly using the app. This is because video files from EZVIZ cameras cannot be directly transferred like regular files.
Actually, deleting the camera from the app will not delete any already saved recordings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I remove an EZVIZ camera without the password?
No. You need access to the EZVIZ account that owns the device to remove it safely.
Will removing the device delete the camera permanently?
No. Removing the device only unlinks the camera from your EZVIZ account. The camera hardware can still be used after setting it up again.
Can another person use my EZVIZ camera after I remove it?
Yes. Once the camera is removed from your account, another user can add it to their own EZVIZ account.
Does removing a device delete cloud recordings?
Removing the device and deleting cloud recordings are different actions. Be careful when deleting cloud videos because stored clips may not be recoverable.
Conclusion
Removing an EZVIZ camera from the EZVIZ app is a simple process if done correctly. Always remove a device through the app before selling, replacing, or transferring it to another account. This prevents activation issues and ensures the new owner can set up the camera on their phone without any issues. By following the steps in this guide, you can safely remove your EZVIZ camera while protecting your account and maintaining smooth device management.
