FAQs
What is EZStation 3.0?

EZStation 3.0 is a powerful and versatile Video Management Software (VMS) provided by Uniview. It acts as a central hub for managing, viewing, and controlling all your security devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, and access control systems, from a single desktop application on either Windows or Mac.

How is EZStation 3.0 different from EZTools 3.0?

Think of them as two different tools for two different jobs. EZTools 3.0 is a utility for installers and technicians to perform initial setup, batch configurations, and maintenance (like changing IP addresses and upgrading firmware). EZStation 3.0 is the client software for daily use by end-users or security operators to perform tasks like live viewing, video playback, and alarm management.

Is EZStation 3.0 free to download and use?

Yes, EZStation 3.0 is completely free to download and use with your Uniview devices. There are no licensing fees required for the software itself, making it a cost-effective solution for managing your security system.

What is the default username and password for EZStation 3.0?

The default login credentials for the EZStation 3.0 software application are:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: 123456It is highly recommended that you change this password after your first login for security purposes. Note that this is the password for the software, not for your cameras or NVR.
How do I add my cameras or NVRs to EZStation 3.0?

You have several flexible options for adding devices:

  • Auto Discover: The software can automatically scan your local network and find all online Uniview devices.
  • Manual Add: You can add devices individually by entering their IP address or domain name.
  • EZCloud: For easy remote access, you can simply log in with your EZCloud account, and all registered devices will be added automatically.
Can I use EZStation 3.0 to view my cameras remotely when I'm away from the site?

Absolutely. The easiest way to achieve this is by using the EZCloud integration. Once your devices are registered to your EZCloud account, you can log into that account within EZStation 3.0 from any computer with an internet connection to view live feeds, play back recordings, and manage your system remotely.

I'm getting a "Media Stream Not Ready" error. What should I do?

This is a common network-related error. First, check your local connection: ensure the device isn't offline, doesn't have an IP address conflict, and isn't blocked by a firewall. If you're connecting remotely, this error almost always means the RTSP port (default is 554) has not been correctly port-forwarded on the router where the security system is located.

Can I view cameras from multiple different locations at the same time?

Yes, this is one of the key strengths of EZStation 3.0. By adding devices from multiple sites (either via their public IP addresses or through your single EZCloud account), you can create custom live views that display camera feeds from different physical locations all on one screen.

Does EZStation 3.0 support cameras from other brands?

While it is optimized for Uniview hardware, EZStation 3.0 offers basic support for third-party cameras that are ONVIF compliant. You can add these cameras to view live video, but advanced features and configuration options may be limited compared to using native Uniview devices.

What is the Video Wall feature and how does it work?

The Video Wall feature is a professional tool designed for command centers and monitoring stations. It allows you to display a large number of camera streams across multiple physical monitors, creating one large, seamless video display. You can configure custom layouts, set up automated camera tours (sequence display), and even have specific cameras pop up on the video wall automatically when an alarm is triggered.
