EZView — Share a Device with Someone Else
Sharing lets a second person see a recorder or camera in their own EZView account, without handing over your login. You choose what they can do and when the access expires, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Share a Device
Open the menu and go to Devices
Tap the three lines in the top-left corner of EZView, then tap Devices.
Open the device's menu and tap Share
Find the recorder or camera you want to share and tap the … button on its row, then choose Share from the list.
Fill in who, how long, and what kind of access
Enter the recipient's EZCloud username, email or phone number in Share To, set a Valid Period for when the access expires, then pick a Type — By Role or By Function. The difference matters; see below.
Tap Share
Check the details and tap Share at the bottom. The device appears in the other person's Devices list straight away.
By Role or By Function?
This is the one choice on the page that catches people out, because it changes more than permissions — it changes where the shared device is usable.
| By Role | By Function | |
|---|---|---|
| What it grants | Everything a chosen device user can do (e.g. admin) |
Only the individual features you tick — live view, playback, and so on |
| Works in the EZView app | Yes | Yes |
| Works on EZCloud web / EZStation | Yes | No |
admin, first
create that user in the device's own web interface or on-screen menu — it will then show up here.
Stop Sharing
Open Me, then My Sharing
From the main menu tap Me at the top, then My Sharing.
Select the share and delete it
Tick the entries you want to withdraw — each shows the recipient, the permissions granted and the valid period — then tap the bin icon at the bottom. Access ends immediately.
global.ezcloud.uniview.com and use Device Management → My Cloud Devices
to share, or Sharing Records → Device Sharing to cancel.
