    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I don’t know about fw 191211, but my EZVIZ-DB1 came with 190304. I upgraded to 200904 three days ago without any issues. I also upgraded my 16v-10w transformer to 16v-30w before my install. So far, so good.

    Advanced networking is way over my head too! I just perform a simple default reset and just plug everything in. The reset procedure is explained in the HP installation documents you can download.

    Considering Cisco SF250-48HP PoE switch. Bad choice?

    I don’t mean to complicate your decision, but I’ve had good luck with HP ProCurve PoE switches. They aren’t silent, but not too loud as I have mine located in the garage. You can generally find many eBay ProCurve switches for very reasonable cost. You can download HP data and installation...
