If your EZVIZ camera image is glare-affected, it doesn’t mean the camera is malfunctioning. Most of these issues are caused by incorrect installation. EZVIZ cameras are sensitive when mounted facing an exit. If the room is dark and the area outside the door is brighter, this causes the camera’s view to be affected by glare. EZVIZ customers often report this issue to us.
In this article, I’ll explain the easiest way to fix the issue of the EZVIZ camera feed appearing glare in the app.
Camera Glare, Causing Loss of Detail in Recorded Footage
The CCTV camera recording system will record everything captured by the camera.
If the image in front of the camera is overexposed, that overexposure will be recorded. This will result in less detailed playback from the camera. In my experience, for example, if someone walks in through the door, their face will appear less distinct—or even appear dark. Therefore, issues like this must be addressed immediately so that your camera can capture detailed images.
Ways You Can Fix the EZVIZ Camera Glare Issue in the App
There are at least two ways to fix glare on the EZVIZ camera display. One is a bit complicated, and the other is easy.
1. Moving the Camera Installation Location (Complicated)
Moving the camera is the most recommended method.
To prevent glare on your EZVIZ camera, you can reposition the camera so that it faces inward toward the room instead of toward the exit. If you can’t move the camera on your own and don’t have the necessary equipment, you can call a camera technician in your area for just a few dollars.
2. Enabling the WDR Feature (Easy)
EZVIZ cameras feature WDR. This feature balances the light entering the lens. Glare on the EZVIZ camera screen is caused by uneven light reflections. To enable the WDR feature on your EZVIZ camera, follow the instructions below.
Open the EZVIZ app.
Log in to the app using your registered account. Once logged in, you’ll be redirected to the app’s main page.
Tap the three dots on the camera.
Select Device Settings.
Tap Image Settings.
Tap once on the toggle switch until it turns blue to enable the D-WDR feature.

It’s easy, isn’t it?
By enabling the WDR function on your EZVIZ camera, the camera processes the light entering the lens to balance it. Images that were previously dark due to glare will now appear brighter and with clearer details. You can see the difference in the image below. In our experiments, we found that not all EZVIZ camera models support WDR, such as the older EZVIZ TY1. So, be sure to check product information before purchasing an EZVIZ camera.
