Thanks for the reply. I do probably have one that's old enough to have had a vulnerable firmware, but all my cameras have been upgraded to newer firmware, so would have to track down an old version and hassle with tftp, etc. From what I've read, this "secure code" method is supposed to work on...

Hi all, Inherited an LTS 4-channel NVR, model # LTN8704-P4 SADP tells me it's running old/vulnerable firmware - V3.3.2build151208 For the life of me, I can't get the password reset tool to give me a code that works. I've read that for NVRs you're supposed to remove the model number from the...

Thanks bp2008 and fenderman. I guess that explains why I struck out on google! Appreciate the responses.

I've tried numerous google searches but haven't been able to find a whole lot of info about this. In short, I want an h264 camera that can also deliver an MJPEG substream of at least 720p resolution. Right now I have a Foscam FI9831W (crappy camera, I know). It works fine and looks decent when...

Thanks, after seeing dbaker's post I was considering doing the update, hoping I could use his method to remove the logo later. But it's quite possible that once I did the upgrade those options would disappear from ivms-4200 leaving me stuck with the logo (which on the floodlight cam actually...

Do you have the "Enable Text Overlay", "Display Camera Name" "Display Date" etc. checkboxes? My RCA Floodlight cam HSFLC1 has those (along with the "Upload Logo" button) but I am still on the shipping firmware. There is a fw update available that adds the logo and I've been avoiding installing...

Well that signal strength is a lot worse that mine, so I'd bet that is your issue. I'd say it's normal for it to be worse while you're trying to stream vs. not. If you can't relocate your AP (or wire in another one) then you may want to try a repeater. Or you could scrap the HSDB1 and try the...

Ubiquiti is good kit. I use two of their UniFi pro APs in my split level house (one in the basement, one on the second story) and my HSDB1 (RCA version) is rock solid. With the UniFi controller you should be able to see what it reports the signal strength of your doorbell is. Mine shows -55dBm...

No physical switch, and in fact I'm not even sure if you can switch them on manually even via the app. I'm not home to experiment right now, but the only light settings I see in the RCA app are a brightness adjustment and a toggle called "Light Linkage" (the description of which says "After...

Great! Yeah I've been hoping someone will try the LaView version as well--I'm really surprised that it still has zero reviews on Amazon whereas the RCA version (about the same price) has a bunch. Yes, and just to confirm there is no web interface on the RCA version. I've done a port scan and...

Yeah, my bad. For some reason I thought this was the HSDB2 thread. Edited my post.

What band is it on? Try forcing it on to whatever band it's not on now. 5GHz has more bandwidth but does not get through walls and other obstructions very well. 2.4GHz does better in that regard but often the 2.4GHz band is crowded and prone to interference. Whoops. Forgot this was the HSDB1...

Yes they have some cosmetic differences. But I am pretty sure they are the same unit--main clue being that on the FCC registration for the RCA (aka Voxx) the external photos show the Momentum version (I mentioned this in my first post). Though I would stay away from the Momentum version as it...

Sorry I missed this question earlier. Already replied via PM but just wanted to confirm for others that I do indeed have 2-way audio working on the HSDB1 via Blue Iris. I am on firmware 180726, which as far as I am concerned is the best firmware for this model. If audio spoken via BI is not...

Just a tangential comment, but I wonder if it could be possible (say on a rooted Android device maybe) to figure out where the app is storing the fw upgrade file and pull it out from there. It could then be flashed manually via ivms-4200. Seems like an avenue maybe worth checking out for someone...
