After purchasing an EZVIZ 4G camera, the first thing users will likely look for is a guide on how to connect the camera to the internet using a SIM card. As the name suggests, the EZVIZ 4G camera does not use Wi-Fi as its internet connection; instead, it uses a SIM card installed in the camera. Some EZVIZ 4G camera models require settings adjustments, such as configuring the APN. Please note that the EZVIZ 4G camera cannot use Wi-Fi for internet access.
In this article, I’ll explain how to configure the internet connection on the EZVIZ H8c 4G camera.
What Is APN on an EZVIZ Camera?
APN stands for Access Point Name in cellular networks, not a router access point.
The APN allows you to connect to the internet via the mobile service you use on your EZVIZ camera. For example, if you’re using a T-Mobile SIM card, you can connect it to T-Mobile’s APN. Generally, the APN settings for EZVIZ cameras are configured automatically, but if your EZVIZ camera can’t connect, I usually adjust the APN settings.
How to Properly Configure the APN on the EZVIZ H8c 4G Camera?
All EZVIZ camera settings can be configured through the app, including these APN settings. Below is an article I wrote based on the process I followed when configuring the APN settings for my EZVIZ camera.
Open the EZVIZ app on your phone
Log in to the EZVIZ app using your registered account. If you’re already logged in, you’ll be directed to the dashboard page upon opening the app.
Tap the three dots on the camera.
Select Device Settings.
SInside the settings menu, scroll down and tap on APN Network Settings.
Enter the APN details according to your carrier’s standards. Then, you can click Setup Guide and tap the available link to see a list of APNs for all carriers worldwide.
For example, in this guide we choose Telkomsel APN.
Tap the Submit button if you have filled in the APN.
