EZVIZ cameras have an excellent security system. One of their security features is an encryption password. This prevents the camera from being accessed on another phone until this encryption password is entered. By default, the EZVIZ camera’s encryption password is enabled. If you share the camera with another phone, the app will typically display “The Device is Locked.” If the recipient does not enter the encryption password, the camera cannot be accessed.
If you find this feature annoying, you can disable it through the camera settings in the EZVIZ app. In this article, you’ll find instructions on how to disable the EZVIZ camera’s encryption password.
Disabling the Encryption Password Reduces the Security of Your EZVIZ Camera
Should the encryption password be disabled?
In my experience, whether to enable or disable this feature depends on the user’s needs. If you want to share your camera more quickly without having to enter an encryption password, you can disable it. However, your EZVIZ camera is at risk of being shared with others without your knowledge. For example, if your child accidentally shares the camera with someone else’s phone, that person can immediately access the camera without having to enter the encryption password.
However, in all the time I’ve been using an EZVIZ camera, I’ve never turned this feature off. The default encryption password for an EZVIZ camera is the verification code printed on the camera’s label.
