Resetting can be the final step when nothing else works, but don’t jump into it blindly.
Let’s break down how to reset your EZVIZ camera, both with and without the reset button.
Why Reset Your EZVIZ Camera (And When Not To)
Resetting can fix:
- Connectivity problems
- Software bugs
- Streaming or app sync issues
But keep in mind: a reset wipes everything. That includes your Wi-Fi settings, schedules, and preferences.
Before you reset:
- Save your login info
- Note down any custom settings
Once reset, you’ll have to set up the camera from scratch.
How To Factory Reset EZVIZ Camera (With Reset Button)
Here’s how to reset different EZVIZ camera types.
Pan & Tilt Models (C6N, E6, H6)
- Rotate the camera to expose the reset cover
- Open the cover
- Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds
- Release when you hear a voice prompt and see LED flashing
- Setup required again
Cube Cameras (C1C, H1C)
- Find the reset button (usually on back or bottom)
- Press and hold it for 5 seconds
- Wait for the flashing LED
- Done—reset complete
Baby Monitor (EZVIZ BM1)
- Locate reset button near SD card slot
- Hold for 5 seconds
- Watch for blue LED flashing
- Done
Most EZVIZ models reset this way: locate the button, press and hold, wait for flashing light or voice cue.
How To Reset Ezviz Camera Without Reset Button
Don’t want to use the physical button? Or your model doesn’t have one?
Here’s how to reset your EZVIZ camera without using the reset button:
Option 1: Reset via EZVIZ App
- Open the EZVIZ App
- Go to camera settings
- Look for “Remove Device” or “Reset Device”
- Confirm reset or removal
- Re-add the camera if needed
This method is a soft reset and doesn’t always wipe all data—good for small glitches.
Option 2: Power Cycle the Camera
A quick power cycle can solve minor issues:
- Unplug the camera
- Wait 10–15 seconds
- Plug it back in
This won’t reset any settings—but it can fix frozen or unresponsive devices.
Option 3: Reset Your Router (Optional)
In rare cases, the issue might be your router.
- Turn off your router
- Wait 30 seconds
- Power it back on
Just know this affects all connected devices, not just the camera.
Final Thoughts
To sum it up:
- Factory reset needs the physical reset button
- Soft reset via the EZVIZ app works without the button
- Power cycling is a safe first step for quick fixes
If you’re still stuck, EZVIZ support can walk you through model-specific options.
Either way, this should get your camera back in action fast.
