    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Guys - Is there some odd setting that disables the Chime power on the DB? My Mechanical Door Chime no longer gets voltage from the DB2... after working fine on both DB1 and now DB2 for 2 years. Transformer is at 19.4VAC at the mechanical chime. 9vdc battery will trigger the Chime just fine...

    Partial Screen Displayed, not Full

    My Hik Doorbell (Laview firmware ...doorbell is the same DB: Laview, EZviz, RCA, etc) camera was working fine for 8 months and then 2 weeks ago it started only displaying a part of the screen. I also have 9 Samsung cams (2 diff models) and they never have an issue. Is this a setting issue? It...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have the same setup, same thing happened to me twice. DO NOT Activate it I've used all three of these... iVMS, Batch Config, Laview Net to config the DB. I find the easiest, fastest to be Batch. Laview hangs the background process after closing on 2 diff PCs for me. Cant kill it, must...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It happens on the BI app directly in Windows... thus, not a web page or android app issue. I was thinking it might be something with a BI update. It happened on the last few updates and I just installed another today... so far so good, we'll see in the next day or so.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Anyone using Blue Iris with these? It was working great for me until a few days ago (firmware has been on Laview for many month, working fine). This is what Blue Iris shows on the web page, on the windows app, and the BI android app... until I connect to the doorbell with the Ezview app, then...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    When I did the conversion from RCA to Laview FW I did a full reset, and it has been rock-solid until a week ago... then it disconnected from the Wifi and would not reconnect. So I reset it using the button (did not pull the power), and it was good for 3 or so days. I pulled the power yesterday...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Can't use an app to reboot if the doorbell is not connected to Wifi. I meant how to soft-reboot from the doorbell itself. I pulled the power at the transformer it reset JUST the Wifi? (not Factory, it still had all the video tweaks, etc) ... anyone seen this before... Just flashing Blue LEDs...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Guys - anyway to just 'reboot' (not factory reset)? Mine lost Wifi connection. 2nd time its done this in a wee. I reset it last time and did it again this morning. Been 7 hours so I want to reboot to see if it comes back on. I have 9 other cams, once directly 4ft above the doorbell that did not...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    @pete_c yes, Homeseer too. I do have the light turn on with motion so that helps if someone is steps into the entry. Its just a difficult lighting area I have it working, things are not a crisp as they could be but it works best without WDR or BLC on at all. thx for the help

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    @pete_c Thx for the info. I didnt see anywhere it explained the diff in the CCD vs Video 'Settings'. For BLC & WDR ... BLC was unusable and WDR 'washes out' the entire image and makes it difficult to see any detail. Event tweaking WDR to lower settings.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Looking for advice and have questions about tweaking the image. My entry is small & mostly enclosed with a ton of light that enters in a small'ish space -- thus, Dark Foreground w/ Bright in back. I've included a screenshot of all default settings and after my tweaks.Unless I'm doing it...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    @GentlePumpkin sorry if this has been asked/explored... I just was told about your app, today so have only read the first post. Have you contacted the BI team to see if there was a way to auto-create the duplicate cameras and set the appropriate settings on them... and hide them from the GUI...

    Local Console Login?

    Please see the screenshots I've attached... "BlueIrisService" is does nothing. It 100% does not run core worker code... notice 0% CPU utilization, 0% network util. The only BI code doing work is the old monolithic app which IS the exact same code as when not run 'as a service'. All BI did was...

    Local Console Login?

    BI is a user mode application that 'can' be run as a service... it was not designed, as I stated, to be (like a modern app would be) 2 separate items... a service + a user mode GUI. There is a Very Big difference in functionality. If it was this entire discussion would never happen... service...

    I got stung by this too... they should have warned us and made it crystal clear the update would break those of us that run BI5 on a dedicated, un-manned, PC. Remember, BI is VERY OLD software still using 20 year old code design. Its not designed to run as a service with a GUI that runs in the...

    Cams bounce between "No Signal" and connecting fine

    Yes, I understand that - which is why I've just lowered the FPS to 15 on most of the cams. It doesnt seem to make any difference.

    Cams bounce between "No Signal" and connecting fine

    @TheDank The Samsung cams do not stream anything to the Internet unless I'm using the Android App to view them. There is no online recordings, only on the internal SD card and I only have the cams set to record local on the SD card, when motion is detected. The settings for BI are similar, they...

    Recommendations for Reasonable Priced non-subscription Wifi Cams to test?

    I'm glad everyone knows my house better than I do. I know what things cost, I have ran about 500ft CAT5e (in the past) and 300ft CAT6 (recently) in this house using my own 2 hands. Even with all the right tools and a helper (or two) it was not easy. I live in a 3 level house and much of it has...

    Recommendations for Reasonable Priced non-subscription Wifi Cams to test?

    It might not be a BI problem - maybe Unifi setting or some interaction between Unifi & BI. This is why I posted a new thread in the BI forum. Hoping someone is using Unifi and seen the same issue. Considering that the cams all work 100% rock solid with the Samsung Android App, which ALWAYS...

    Cams bounce between "No Signal" and connecting fine

    Most cams in Blue Iris lose connection (No Signal) frequently and then minutes later connect again. Some more than others. Cams: 8 Samsung Smartcams across 3 floors - all model, 6431BN 1 older Samsung Smarcam Pro version - on main fllor 1 RCA/LaView/Hikvision Doorbell cam - on main floor Wifi...

    @sebastiantombs & @looney2ns ... guys, thanks for volunteering your time to come wire my entire house! ;0 OK, more testing has led me to see the issue IS Blue Iris... NOT the Cams or the Wifi! As I mentioned, I have ALL Samsung Wisenet cams... which, all use the Android Samsung Smartcam+...

    Recommendations for Reasonable Priced non-subscription Wifi Cams to test?

    I'm looking to test cams in my most problematic locations in my home where signals drop frequently. I think the issue is the cams (see below for the details). Many people have Wyse Cams... anyone ever compare Wyse v2 to Samsung's most recent cams? What about other 'reasonable priced' (e.g. not...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    @David L Thx. Mine is far more than ghosting / pixelation... its 100% watercolor smearing across the whole image. I'll get a screenshot next time it happens. I just changed firmware (I was not that far behind) and we'll see if that helps. thx!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Anyone have a problem with the video "smearing" (looks like kids finger paint) totally unusable after answering the video call? It starts a second or so after answering the call... and goes back to normal after hanging up.

    Any change logs / comparisons of firmware differences, fixes, etc? I have the RCA 5.2.4 build 190124 (using EZviz app, worked better than RCA for me) and have these issues... 1. VERY slow and/or never connects to app to audio/video after doorbell pressed 2. Long delay between bell press and...
