EZTools 2.0: Your Essential Tool for Uniview Device Management

In this episode, we break down EZ Tools 2.0 Uniview’s free, all-in-one utility that turns device setup and upkeep from a slog into a smooth, repeatable workflow. From single-site installs to large deployments, learn how technicians and admins use EZ Tools 2.0 to discover devices, run batch IP/password changes, push firmware updates (local or EZCloud), fine-tune channels, and plan storage with the built-in HDD calculator. If you manage Uniview cameras or NVRs on Windows, this is your day-to-day command center.
