Introduction
Uniview's EZCloud is a network platform that is provided for all Uniview service users which enables them to watch videos remotely. EZCloud does not generate any content by itself but it enables registered Users to watch live videos or recordings of locations installed with surveillance devices connected to EZCloud or to log in to these surveillance devices directly. EZCloud allows Users to add or delete the connected surveillance devices as needed. EZCloud service features include:
- Temporary Device Sharing.
- Organization Management.
- Password Retrieval.
- Remote Access.
- EZView Integration.
- EZStation Integration.
Register
To fully utilize the EZCloud features, it is ideal that one should first create an EZCloud account. To register, go to https://en.ezcloud.uniview.com/Register.aspx
Once an account has been created and verified, you will now be able to add and manage devices and organizations.
Adding Devices
Before any device can be managed to EZCloud, it should first be added. We do this by first enabling the EZCloud feature on our security system. In this guide, we will be configuring this feature by remotely accessing our Network Video Recorder on a computer browser.
