Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ezviz: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Ezviz subscription and cloud storage in south africa
What Ezviz is and why you might want to cancel
Ezviz is a smart home security platform that sells cameras, doorbells, and cloud recording services across South Africa. You purchase hardware devices once-such as indoor and outdoor cameras-and optionally subscribe to recurring cloud storage plans. These subscriptions let you review recordings remotely, receive motion alerts, and access your footage from anywhere through the Ezviz App.
The core issue: many customers activate cloud subscriptions without realising they are committing to recurring monthly or annual charges. If you've outgrown the service, switched to a competitor, or want to reduce your monthly spend, Yafee has compiled this guide to help you cancel cleanly and understand your rights as a South African consumer under the Consumer Protection Act.
The Ezviz ecosystem in south africa
Ezviz operates across three distinct areas. First, hardware sales-cameras and doorbells you purchase once and own outright. Second, cloud subscriptions-recurring monthly or annual charges for cloud storage and video history. Third, the Ezviz Marketplace-where you can buy additional devices and manage returns. Each has its own cancellation process.
Most South African customers who contact Yafee are trying to cancel cloud subscriptions. That is where your recurring charges live, and that is the focus of this guide.
Why cancellation matters for your budget
Cloud subscriptions are easy to forget about. You activate cloud storage on your camera, the monthly charge begins, and months later you discover you're paying for a service you no longer use. Yafee has helped thousands of South African consumers identify and cancel forgotten subscriptions, recovering hundreds of rands every month. This guide ensures you do not lose a single rand to accidental renewal.
Ezviz pricing and cloud storage plans in south africa
Understanding what you pay for is essential before you decide whether cancellation is right for you.
Ezviz hardware costs and one-time purchases
Ezviz cameras and doorbells are one-time purchases. You own them outright, and they function indefinitely even without a cloud subscription. Here are typical South African retail prices:
| Product | Price (ZAR) | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Ezviz C3TN Colour Wi-Fi Camera | R799 | 1080p, night vision, microSD slot, IP67 weatherproof |
| Ezviz H6C Pro 2K+ Indoor Camera | R579 | Pan and tilt, AI detection, two-way audio |
| Ezviz Dual-Lens Doorbell (EP3x Pro) | R1,999 | 2K and 1080p, package detection, 32 GB local storage |
Cloud subscription pricing structure
Ezviz does not publicly list verified cloud storage pricing for South Africa on widely accessible sources. Cloud plans typically range from basic (7 to 30 days of rolling cloud history) to premium (365 days of full video history), billed monthly or annually. The exact pricing depends on your region and device type.
Log into your Ezviz App and check the "Cloud Storage" or "Subscribe" section under device settings to see the current ZAR pricing available to you. Yafee recommends reviewing this before you cancel, so you know exactly how much you save by cancelling.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA) 68 of 2008 and the National Credit Act (NCA) 34 of 2005 give you specific rights when dealing with recurring services like Ezviz cloud subscriptions.
What the consumer protection act guarantees
The CPA establishes that you have the right to cancel a recurring subscription or service agreement. Section 14 of the CPA explicitly protects you against unfair contract terms. Furthermore, Section 48 grants you a cooling-off period of 5 business days from the date of purchase or service activation, during which you can cancel without penalty or reason.
For cloud subscriptions activated after the initial cooling-off period, Section 49 of the CPA permits you to cancel at any time. The service provider must provide you with clear cancellation instructions. If Ezviz fails to supply these instructions in writing, or if they make cancellation deliberately difficult, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC).
Your legal position
You have an absolute right to cancel your Ezviz cloud subscription at any time after the initial 5-business-day cooling-off period. Ezviz cannot impose unfair cancellation fees, lock you into automatic renewal without clear prior consent, or ignore your cancellation request. If they do, the National Consumer Commission enforces these protections and can order refunds and penalties on your behalf.
How to cancel your Ezviz subscription in south africa
Ezviz cloud subscriptions are managed through the Ezviz App or web portal. Follow these steps to cancel your cloud storage plan without contacting support.
Cancellation via the Ezviz mobile app
- Open the Ezviz App on your smartphone or tablet and log in to your account using your email and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen and follow the reset instructions.
- Tap the "Me" or profile icon in the bottom right corner of the app.
- This takes you to your account dashboard.
- Navigate to "My Subscriptions" or "Cloud Storage" (the label varies by app version).
- You'll see all active cloud storage plans linked to your devices.
- Select the specific cloud subscription you wish to cancel by tapping on it.
- The app will display your plan details, including billing frequency and next renewal date.
- Tap the "Cancel" or "Stop Subscription" button at the bottom of the subscription details page.
- Some app versions may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation.
- Review the cancellation summary, which confirms the end date of your subscription.
- Your access to cloud storage ends at the end of your current billing cycle-you do not lose service immediately.
- Tap "Confirm Cancellation" to complete the process.
- A confirmation message will appear. Screenshot this for your records.
Cancellation via the Ezviz web portal
- Navigate to the Ezviz website and log in using your registered email and password.
- Go to www.ezviz.com or your regional portal if directed to do so.
- Click on your account profile icon or "My Account" in the top right corner.
- This opens your account menu.
- Select "Subscriptions" or "Cloud Plans" from the dropdown menu.
- You'll see a list of all active and expired subscriptions.
- Locate the cloud storage plan you wish to cancel and click "Manage" or "View Details".
- The subscription details page will open.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" button.
- Ezviz may ask for feedback or offer a discounted rate to keep you as a customer.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final "Cancel" button.
- A confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address within minutes.
- Save or screenshot the confirmation email for your records.
- This email serves as proof of cancellation if a dispute arises.
Cancellation by email for south africa
If the app or web portal cancellation fails, or if you prefer written confirmation, you can cancel by email. Ezviz operates regional support for Africa, though it does not publish a dedicated physical mailing address for South African cancellations.
- Send an email to the Ezviz Africa support team at the email address listed in your account settings or the Ezviz website.
- Common regional support addresses are listed in the "Contacting Ezviz for cancellation" section below.
- Include the following information in your email:
- Your full name and registered email address.
- Your Ezviz account username or user ID (visible in your app profile).
- The specific cloud storage plan you wish to cancel (e.g., "30-day rolling cloud history on device C3TN").
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (typically the next billing date).
- Your phone number for follow-up contact.
- Send the email with delivery confirmation enabled (read receipt) if your email client supports it.
- This proves Ezviz received your request.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Ezviz within 3 to 5 business days.
- If you do not receive confirmation, follow up with a second email referencing your first request.
- Save all email correspondence in a folder on your device or cloud storage.
- If a billing dispute arises, you'll need this evidence to resolve it with Ezviz or escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
What happens after you cancel your Ezviz subscription
Cancelling your cloud subscription does not delete your camera or stop it from recording. It simply ends your recurring charge and your access to cloud storage.
Access and functionality after cancellation
Once your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, your camera or doorbell will continue to record to its local microSD card (if installed) or internal storage. You will no longer receive cloud-based motion alerts via the Ezviz App, and you will not be able to review cloud-stored footage remotely. Live streaming and local recording continue to work as normal.
Your hardware devices remain yours to use indefinitely. You can reactivate a cloud subscription at any time by logging into your Ezviz App and selecting a new plan.
Refund eligibility and billing timeline
Ezviz typically does not issue refunds for partial-month cancellations. If you cancel mid-cycle, your service ends at the end of your current billing period, and you are not charged again. If you cancel before your renewal date and your next charge is imminent, contact Ezviz support to request an exception or pro-rata refund.
Under Section 48 of the CPA, if you cancel within the 5-business-day cooling-off period from activation, you have the right to a full refund of your subscription fees. Request this in writing by email, referencing the CPA and your activation date. Ezviz must process refunds within 30 days of receiving your written request.
Confirming cancellation on your next billing cycle
After your cancellation date passes, log into your Ezviz App and confirm that the cloud subscription no longer appears in your "My Subscriptions" list. Check your email for any renewal notices. If you receive a billing notification after your cancellation date, do not ignore it-contact Yafee or the National Consumer Commission immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Ezviz
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few common errors can delay your request or leave you vulnerable. Protect yourself by avoiding these traps.
Mistake 1: deleting the Ezviz app instead of cancelling the subscription
Many users delete the Ezviz App from their phone thinking this stops their subscription. It does not. The cancellation is tied to your account, not your app installation. Your monthly charge will continue. Always cancel the subscription through the app or web portal before deleting the app.
Mistake 2: confusing hardware removal with subscription cancellation
If you unplug your camera or remove it from your account in the Ezviz App, your cloud subscription may remain active. Removing a device from your app does not automatically cancel the cloud storage plan. You must explicitly cancel the subscription in the "My Subscriptions" menu.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Always screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation email. If Ezviz bills you again, you'll need this proof to dispute the charge with your bank or escalate to the National Consumer Commission. Yafee recommends saving all cancellation receipts for at least 12 months.
Mistake 4: failing to verify the cancellation before your next billing date
Cancellation confirmation does not always mean the charge has stopped. Log into your Ezviz account 3 to 5 days before your next scheduled billing date to confirm your subscription is no longer listed. If it is, contact support immediately.
Contacting Ezviz for cancellation support in south africa
If you cannot cancel through the app or web portal, or if you need written confirmation, reach out to Ezviz's Africa support team. Ezviz does not maintain a dedicated physical mailing address for South African cancellation requests, so email is your most effective channel.
Email support channels
Send your cancellation request to the Ezviz Africa regional support team. Common support email addresses for the Africa region include:
- [email protected] (primary Africa support)
- [email protected] (if routed to a South African subsidiary)
- The email address provided in your account settings or billing notification
Always send a follow-up email if you do not receive a response within 5 business days. Reference your original request date and any confirmation numbers issued by Ezviz.
Escalation to the national consumer commission
If Ezviz ignores your cancellation request or refuses to stop billing you, escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC enforces the Consumer Protection Act and can order Ezviz to refund your charges and pay damages.
Contact the NCC at:
- Website: www.ncc.org.za
- Email: [email protected]
- Telephone: 012 428 6000
- Address: The Pinnacle, 2 Kigali Road, Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2195
File your complaint within 12 months of the disputed billing date. Provide copies of your cancellation request emails and all billing statements showing charges after your cancellation date. The NCC will investigate at no cost to you.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Ezviz cloud subscription in South Africa is a straightforward process protected by the Consumer Protection Act. You have the right to cancel at any time, and Ezviz must honour your request without imposing unfair penalties or delays.

If you encounter any resistance, cancel by email and escalate to the National Consumer Commission if necessary.
