I've been trying to find a way to integrate this with Home Assistant so that I can have it detect doorbell rings. I came across the Zwave Nexia Doorbell Sensor. I did end up having to upgrade my transformer as the camera started rebooting (even after removing the sensor). I used the Hampton Bay tri-voltage one from Home Depot. It seems that the camera is actually running a little better and I possibly might not need a wifi repeater.
Now if I could just figure out two-way audio with Synology's Surveillance Station.
Can you tell me how to pair this doorbell with "ezviz" on iOS?Maybe this isn't news to anybody else but I was surprised to learn that all of the apps for these connect to the same back-end system. Hik-Connect, LTS Connect and ClareVision Plus are just EZVIZ clients. You can use any of the different apps with the same credentials.
I discovered this because I installed the ClareVision Plus app thinking that maybe I could use that to configure my LTS doorbell and trick it into updating the firmware to enable the browser interface but when I went to register an account, it said I already had one so I entered the credentials from my LTS Connect account and was a bit surprised to see that it was pre-populated with my LTS doorbell. Same with Hik-Connect.
In fact, you can actually view your doorbell from the EZVIZ website but only with Internet Explorer since it requires a plugin:

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what app I use, it always says that my current firmware (V1.4.61 build 170731) is the latest version.
Right now on 171218, but I've tried several including the latest from Nelly. Yes, I did a factory reset each time. Thanks for your help.What firmware are you currently at? Did you factory default it after each firmware upgrade/downgrade?
Check the speed of the doorbell's WiFI connection. Sounds to me like it has negotiated a 1 or 7 MBS connection with your router which will work for login credentials, but nothing more. After expensive testing with various enterprise grade access points at distances as close as 15', I came to the conclusion that the wifi hardware is faulty and not fixable.Still having trouble with my Laview unit and looking for any suggestions. I've tried LaView Connect, Hik-Connect, Guarding vision, RCA Security. I can live view on the local network fine. However, I can not play back any video (event or just playback) either locally or remotely. I just get a playback error 260015. When trying to get live view remotely, I just get the first frame and it just freezes there. I've tried latest firmware from Nelly, Hikvision Europe as well as 171218. LaView support is useless. Please help!

I have been using the 2 DB1 for more than a year. i had similar symptoms in November even though I replaced with a 16V 30VA transformer. but the 16V 30VA transformer was powering 2 doorbells at the same time. What the problem, as i investigated was the wifi signal degraded as weather changes and and temperature dropped. i am in the north east and November 2018 had a lot of rains. I saw the signal quality of the two doorbells on my wifi router fluctuated in a big range so the signal sometimes dropped to a very low level.Right now on 171218, but I've tried several including the latest from Nelly.

Yes it will do that every few days, try rebooting it in the web ui a few timesThis morning my doorbell went off-line from Hik-Connect. I can see it just fine on the webui and through my off-site nvr... My first attempt to get it back was to delete it from my Hik-Connect app and reconnect it... Every time I scan the QR Code, it reports device off-line. I suspect issues with connections to the server since I have access through my NVR...
Anyone having this problem ??
like Bitslizer suggested, reboot it either thru webui or iVMS4200. i am lazy so i don't unscrew the cover screw to take off the cover to scan the QR code. after rebooting, and removing it from the phone app, i do manual add. refresh it several times or sometimes even closing the app multiple times to wait for the doorbell to boot up. then manually add it by serial number and verification code. done!This morning my doorbell went off-line from Hik-Connect.

Ah didn't even realize there was a slightly newer version than 180726, thanks!@alienatsf
Have you tried 180809 RyanODan posted on Jan 3, pg 80 ??
I've had my LTS running since Sept and this was the first time it went off-line, this may support your cold weather theory...
I did not try 180809. i am not sure if it is identical to 180726. in the past year i've seen a lot of versions of firmware from different brand names varied by just a few days. I think they are identical. 180809 means 2018 Aug 9, so i believe it may be very much identical to 180726 meaning 2018 July 26.@alienatsf
