Before You Get Started
Ensure you have the following:
- Wi-Fi and a broadband internet connection.
- An Ezlo Plus or Ezlo Secure Smart Hub.
- An iOS or Android phone or tablet with the Vera Mobile app installed (visit ezlo.com/app to download).
- A power outlet near the desired camera location.
- A drill and Phillips screwdriver bit.
Choosing Wi-Fi or Ethernet
For maximum flexibility, the VistaCam 1103 can be connected to your router wirelessly (Wi-Fi ?) or by ethernet cable ?.
Which should you choose?
Wi-Fi: Wireless connections are the most convenient, requiring no additional wiring. However, if your home has poor Wi-Fi coverage or you experience connection issues, Wi-Fi is not recommended.
Ethernet: A direct ethernet connection between the camera and your router is the most reliable method. This is recommended for camera locations far from your Wi-Fi router.
Initial Setup
It's best to perform the initial setup of the camera near your home router.
- Attach the Wi-Fi Antenna to the back of the camera by screwing it in tightly. For ethernet connections, connect your camera to your router with the included ethernet cable.
- Open the Vera Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet (visit ezlo.com/app to download).
- From the Main Menu, select Devices, then tap the ➕ symbol in the top right corner.
- Select Cameras, then VistaCam 1103.
- Follow the instructions in the Device Pairing Wizard to complete setting up your camera.
- Once finished with the Device Pairing Wizard, you can find and view your camera's video feed by selecting Cameras from the Main Menu.
- Now you can disconnect the power (and ethernet cable, if applicable) and mount your camera in your desired location.

Before You Mount Your Camera
When choosing a location to mount your camera, keep the following in mind:
- Avoid aiming the camera directly into the sun (adjustments can be made after mounting).
- Point your camera at the center of the area you wish to cover and be aware of any trees, shrubs, or other objects that could block the camera's view.
- If using Wi-Fi, ensure your installation location has good Wi-Fi signal coverage.
Testing Wi-Fi Strength
Test Wi-Fi strength at the camera location:
- Bring your smartphone near your preferred camera location.
- Ensure your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
- With your phone, visit a website or stream an online video.
- If websites and videos load and play quickly, the location likely has acceptable Wi-Fi coverage.
Mounting Your Camera
Using an appropriately-sized bit, drill two pilot holes 1-3/4 inches apart. You can use a template (not provided here) to mark locations. Drill a 3/4 inch wiring access hole centered between the two pilot holes to accommodate the camera's wire connections through the wall.
After drilling, insert the camera's wires through the access hole and secure the camera to the wall with the two provided screws. Note: Installations into softer wall materials may require the use of included plastic wall anchors.
Mounting Hole Diagram: Shows two pilot holes spaced 1-3/4 inches apart, with a central 3/4 inch diameter wiring access hole.
Make Your Connections
Make the following connections behind the wall where you mounted the camera:
- Plug the camera's power adapter into a wall outlet or extension cord, then connect it to the camera's power connector.
- For ethernet installations, connect an ethernet cable directly between the camera and internet router.
Using Your Camera
After making connections, wait two minutes for the camera to power up and reconnect to the network. Test the camera's functionality by opening the Vera Mobile app, selecting "Devices", then selecting the camera you named during the wizard.
