FAQs for EZTools 3.0

What is EZTools 3.0?

EZTools 3.0 is a powerful, free software utility designed to help you discover, manage, and configure Uniview security devices (like IP cameras and NVRs) on your local network. It simplifies tasks like batch configuration, firmware upgrades, and system maintenance.

What are the main new features in EZTools 3.0 compared to version 2.0?

EZTools 3.0 introduces several key upgrades for a better user experience, including a live camera preview directly within the tool, a customizable UI that lets you adjust the display size, and enhanced support for multi-channel camera configuration.

What operating systems are compatible with EZTools 3.0?

EZTools 3.0 is designed for Windows environments and is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). A version for macOS is not available at this time.

Why can't the tool find my devices on the network?

The most common reason is that your computer and your security devices are on different IP subnets. Ensure your PC is on the same network segment as your cameras and NVRs. Also, check that your computer's firewall or antivirus software isn't blocking the application's network discovery process.

Can I use EZTools 3.0 to manage cameras connected to my NVR's PoE ports?

Yes. The tool is capable of discovering and managing cameras that are connected directly to the built-in PoE ports of a Uniview NVR. This allows you to perform batch configurations and firmware upgrades without having to connect each camera to the main network separately.

I know my device password is correct, but I'm getting a "Login Failed" error. What's wrong?

This error often occurs when the device's IP address and gateway are not on the same network as the computer running EZTools. The tool can see the device but cannot establish a stable connection for login. Use the tool to correct the device's IP settings first, then attempt to log in again.

Can I manage devices from brands other than Uniview?

While optimized for Uniview hardware, EZTools 3.0 can discover and perform basic management on third-party devices that are ONVIF compliant. This allows for easier management in a mixed-brand security environment.

Is it possible to back up my device settings?

Yes. EZTools 3.0 allows you to export the entire configuration of a device to a file. This is perfect for creating backups before making major changes or for quickly applying a standard configuration to multiple identical devices.

How do I perform a batch firmware upgrade?

You can upgrade multiple devices at once by selecting them from the device list and choosing the "Upgrade" option. The tool supports upgrading from a local firmware file on your computer, an online download, or even by using a template for differential upgrades.

What is the "Live Preview" feature used for?

The new Live Preview feature allows you to instantly view the video stream from a selected camera directly within the EZTools 3.0 interface. This is extremely useful for verifying camera angles, checking image quality, and confirming a camera is operational without needing to log into the camera's web interface or the NVR.
