Cancel Ezviz: The Right Way
How to cancel ezviz and reclaim control of your smart home security
Understanding ezviz and why you might want to cancel
Ezviz is a smart-home and consumer security company that sells cameras, cloud video subscriptions (CloudPlay), device storage services (EZVIZ Drive), and hardware through its Canadian marketplace. The ecosystem combines physical devices, a mobile app, and cloud plans for recording and video playback. If you've subscribed to Ezviz but no longer need the service-or if you're unhappy with the experience-cancelling is straightforward once you know where to look.
At Stopee, we understand that cancelling a subscription can feel like navigating a maze. That's why we've created this guide to help you cancel Ezviz quickly and confidently, whether you're ending a trial, stopping auto-renewal, or returning hardware.
Common reasons to cancel ezviz
You might cancel because you've moved, upgraded your security system, or realised the subscription doesn't fit your budget. Others cancel after a free trial expires and want to avoid unexpected charges. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through every step.
Ezviz plans and pricing in canada
Before you cancel, it helps to understand what you're actually paying for and what your options are.
| Plan or service | Price (CAD) | Billing cycle | Can you cancel? |
|---|---|---|---|
| CloudPlay subscription | Varies by tier | Monthly or annual | Yes - in-app |
| EZVIZ Drive storage | Varies | Monthly or annual | Yes - contact support |
| 7-day free trial | Free | 7 days | Limited (recording cannot be cancelled after activation) |
| 30-day free trial | Free | 30 days | Yes - end immediately in-app |
| Hardware (cameras, devices) | Varies | One-time purchase | Yes - 30-day return guarantee |
What you need to know before cancelling
Ezviz subscriptions are non-refundable once you've begun using them, except where Canadian consumer law requires otherwise. However, if you cancel before your billing period ends, your service typically remains active until that period expires. For hardware purchased on the Ezviz Marketplace Canada, you have 30 days to return items for a refund (minus original shipping costs).
How to cancel ezviz step by step
The cancellation method depends on what you're cancelling: a cloud subscription, a free trial, or a hardware order. We'll cover each one so you can choose what applies to you.
Cancel a CloudPlay subscription in the ezviz app
This is the most common cancellation. It stops auto-renewal but keeps your service active until your paid period ends.
- Open the Ezviz mobile app on your phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon or navigate to Device Settings.
- Select CloudPlay or Subscription Management.
- Find your active subscription and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Read any confirmation message about what happens after cancellation.
- Confirm that you want to cancel.
- Verify that auto-renewal is disabled. You should see a status message confirming cancellation.
- Mark your calendar with your service end date so you're not surprised when access ends.
Pro tip: Cancel before your renewal date to avoid being charged for another term. Ezviz typically charges 24 to 48 hours before renewal, so don't wait until the last day.
End a 30-day free trial immediately
If you're within your 30-day trial and want to stop before it converts to a paid subscription, you can end it instantly in the app.
- Open the Ezviz app.
- Go to Device Settings.
- Tap CloudPlay, then My Plan.
- Select End Trial or End Plan.
- Confirm your choice.
- Check that the trial is marked as ended and that you won't be charged.
Warning: The 7-day free trial works differently. You cannot cancel recording after activation, although you can disable it manually. If you want to avoid charges entirely, end the trial before day 7 expires.
Cancel a hardware order before shipment
If you ordered a camera or device from the Ezviz Marketplace Canada but want to cancel before it ships, act fast.
- Sign in to your Ezviz account on the Ezviz Marketplace website.
- Navigate to My Account and select My Orders.
- Find the order you want to cancel.
- Click Order Detail to view full information.
- Check the current status. You can only cancel before shipment confirmation.
- Select Cancel Order and confirm.
- Wait for an order cancellation confirmation email (usually within 24 hours).
Pro tip: If your order has already shipped, you'll need to return it using Ezviz's 30-day return guarantee instead (see "Refunds and returns" below).
Cancel EZVIZ drive or contact ezviz support for other services
For EZVIZ Drive (device storage) or if you need additional help, reach out directly to Ezviz Support.
- Visit the Ezviz Support website or use the support link in the app.
- Choose your region (Canada) and the type of issue (subscription or billing).
- Use the live chat, email, or phone option to explain that you want to cancel.
- Follow any return-authorisation steps or instructions they provide.
- Ask for confirmation of your cancellation in writing (email screenshot).
Stopee recommends saving your support confirmation for your records. This protects you if Ezviz tries to charge you after cancellation.
What happens after you cancel ezviz
Cancellation isn't the end of the story-understanding what comes next helps you avoid surprises and keep your home security intact.
Your service access and data
When you cancel a CloudPlay subscription, your service remains fully active until the end of your paid billing period. This means you can still watch recorded video, access your cameras in real-time, and receive alerts. Once that period ends, your access to cloud-stored recordings stops unless you renew.
Important: If you have cloud-stored footage you want to keep, download or export it before your service expires. Once your subscription ends, Ezviz may delete your cloud recordings, and recovery is difficult.
Your cameras and devices continue to work
Cancelling a cloud subscription does not disable your physical cameras or devices. They will continue to record locally (if your camera supports local storage via microSD card). However, you lose cloud backup and remote viewing unless you renew.
Auto-renewal will not trigger
After cancellation, Ezviz should not charge you again for that subscription. Monitor your credit card or bank account for 30 days after your paid term ends, just to be certain.
Refunds and returns
Ezviz's refund policy is strict but fair. Here's exactly what you can expect.
Refunds for subscriptions
Cloud subscriptions (CloudPlay and EZVIZ Drive) are non-refundable once activated or downloaded. Ezviz's terms explicitly state this, with the exception that Canadian and international consumer laws may grant you additional rights in specific circumstances. If you're within the first 30 days and believe you have a legal right to a refund, contact Stopee for guidance on consumer protection options in your province.
Refunds for hardware purchases
Ezviz offers a 30-day return guarantee for items purchased on the Ezviz Marketplace Canada. To qualify, your item must be:
- New and unused
- In original, undamaged packaging
- Complete with all accessories
If these conditions are met, Ezviz refunds the product price after inspection. You pay for return shipping. The original shipping cost is not refunded.
Pro tip: Return items within 25 days to leave a safety margin. Some carriers take 3 to 5 days to deliver, and Ezviz needs time to inspect and process your return.
What ezviz does not refund
Ezviz does not offer prorated refunds or credits for subscriptions cancelled mid-cycle. Digital content (recorded video clips, exported data) is non-refundable once downloaded or viewed. Technical issues are resolved through service replacement rather than refunds.
Your consumer rights in canada
Canadian consumer protection laws give you certain rights that Ezviz's terms cannot override, even though Ezviz does not operate under the EU's stricter 14-day cancellation right.
Federal and provincial protections
Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation (such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act), you have the right to:
- Receive clear information about auto-renewal terms before you agree to them
- Cancel a subscription without penalty if Ezviz fails to provide that clarity
- Dispute unauthorized charges on your payment method
- Request a chargeback through your bank or credit card company if Ezviz continues to bill you after cancellation
Warning: If Ezviz charges you after you cancel, you have strong consumer protection grounds to dispute the charge. Do not accept repeated billing as normal.
How to escalate a complaint
If Ezviz refuses to cancel your subscription or continues charging after cancellation, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority:
- Ontario: Ontario Government Consumer Protection Hotline (1-800-889-9768)
- British Columbia: BC Consumer Protection Office
- Alberta: Alberta Fair Trading Act Complaints
- Other provinces: Contact your provincial Ministry of Consumer Affairs
Stopee recommends documenting everything: cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of the cancellation in the app, and proof of any unauthorized charges. This evidence strengthens your case if you need to file a formal complaint.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling can go wrong in subtle ways. These are the traps we see most often, and how to sidestep them.
Disabling recording instead of cancelling the subscription
In the Ezviz app, you can disable recording on individual cameras, but this does not stop your subscription. You'll still be charged. Always navigate to your subscription settings and explicitly select "Cancel Subscription."
Assuming your trial ends automatically
Free trials do not always auto-cancel. The 30-day trial can be ended in-app, but if you do nothing, it converts to a paid plan when the 30 days are up. Set a phone reminder for day 25 to end the trial before you're charged.
Cancelling in the web portal when you need to use the app
Some Ezviz subscriptions can only be managed in the mobile app. If you try to cancel via the website and see no option, open the app instead. Don't assume cancellation failed just because the web interface doesn't show a cancel button.
Not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or forward your cancellation confirmation email to yourself. If Ezviz charges you again, this proof is essential for disputing the charge or filing a complaint. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel services and then dispute surprise bills-proof is your shield.
Returning hardware without a return authorisation
If you're returning a camera or device under the 30-day guarantee, ask Ezviz for a return authorisation (RA) number first. Ship it to the address they provide, not a random warehouse. Keep the tracking number.
