    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I started out with a 16v 30va trans and it was hot as crap and always hot. Some one posted about it running cooler with a lower voltage trans so I gave it a try when I replaced the chime. Its running much cooler and stopped rebooting on hotter summer days like it was on the 16v trans...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    AC does not drop off as much as DC and the RCA works just fine at 6vac with out a mechanical chime connected.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    ya, sry missed it, looking for the post about the wifi security mode that has fixed this. The other fix a lot have posted about is turning the "Image Encryption" OFF in the App. This is NOT an option in BC (that I know of) so you would have to install the phone App for your VDB. When you...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have the RCA with Hik FirmWare and it runs great on the 8v trans. BlueIris has 3 to 5 disconnects a month listed in the logs. Like I said, it was some one on this forum that was helping some one else that had a heat problem that gave me the idea to try it. I killed my chime and figured...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The RCA DB is listed as 8v but when I bricked mine and had it on my desk working with it I could run it down to about 6vac with out the chime. I have no clue how hot it was getting on the 16v trans but the SDCard was almost too hot to hold when I pulled it out the day I bricked it. On the 8v...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    many users (like me) reporting this problem found out that the chime blew up, while losing time trying to concentrate on the camera's fw/configuration. Where was you about 18 months ago with this tip? :banghead: LOL Some good came out of it though. When I got the new chime I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So the VDB and chime WAS working fine? "going to guess for about 6months at least" NOW your VDB is still working BUT your "mechanical chime" has stopped working? Huge guess on my part but I would assume you upgraded your transformer for the new VideoDoorBell install. I would assume you...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Put you DB IP in a DMZ on your router and see if that fixes the ONVIF problem. If it does then you know its a setting on your network, if not your more or less 90% sure its a DB settings/FirmWare problem. Its NOT a 100% test but its easy and fast and gives you a place to start at least...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    By any chance did you setup your DB with a diff app? If you have the RCA DB and use the RCA app then flash to the Hik FW and try to use the Hic App it will do the 90% and hang. I had this problem, I had to reinstall the RCA app and go into the app and remove my DB. After I did that the Hik...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    For starters what DoorBell do you have? Did you or did you NOT change the USER admin password? If the DB wifi AP is working what is the ssid that shows up when you search for the local APs? What firmware build did you flash onto your DB? You said holding reset on the DB did not fix...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Your right, you have no problem! The check and save will not work, but just know ONVIF WILL WORK even though BC does not show it! When you run a check on ONVIF or use BlueIris to scan you will see that it is working just fine. RCA DB with Hik FW is my setup as well and BC will not save...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I love the RCA DB with the Hik FW to get ONVIF working in BlueIris. The BIG thing (for me anyways) was no more triggers from cars going by at night like I was getting from BI motion. No matter what I did in the BI motion setup I had false triggers. Cars at night. Sun rise. Sunny day with...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I kind of had this problem with the RCA doorbell with the RCA firmware. I still have no clue why this fixed it so please let me know if this works for you as well. I used BatchConfig, the GEAR icon "remote configuration", "Event" then Motion Detection". How or what app are you...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I think you know this but You have to have the firmware file (*.dat) named right for the loaded firmware to work. When I bricked my on the HickVid firmware I ended up renam Its sounds like a heat problem and that is great because its easy to test and fix. If you remove power for about...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I think you know this already but When I bricked mine flashing it with the hikvision firmware I renamed the RCA firmware from "hsdb2.dav" to "ds-hd1.dav" to get mine back to the RCA firmware. I could not get any software working to UPDATE the firmware. I have used this trick twice now to...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I had this same problem, too fix it I put the HSDB2.DAV on a 1gb SD card formatted fat32. The hard part is holding the reset button down BEFORE you turn the power ON for the cam and keeping it held down through 2 audio prompts. Forget what it said it was a week ago. Its a good 45sec you...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Anyone got the RCA HSDB2 PIR working in Blue Iris? I got the video feed to BI working and I got MOTION triggers working but I can not seem to get the PIR to trigger BI still. Still running the RCA stock FW (V5.2.4build 200321) with BI (5.2.7.12 x64) setup as Generic/ONVIF I would really like...
