    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Noticed Batch config tool and the other hik app has more options but they get hidden after a few seconds. Also noticed upnp and multicast settings are different which may explain why google cast or Alexa support work on day Nellys firmware.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    No problem, the apps and QR code or serial number all work with no errors however they all failed to connect to the DBs wifi as they all try to connect to the EZVIZ SSID which I no longer have. I deleted the DB from the hik app prior to reset anyways. I'll try and drain the battery and see if...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I think i fudged it some how, I tried the hik app, and laview app. It shows up with a laview ssid but won't accept the password. The laview app is actually quite good it copies the proper password etc but it still fails to connect. I tried registering using the serial number, it then asks for...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I seem to have locked myself out. I tried a few firmwares messed with a few settings and everything worked, decided to stick with laview but wanted to start fresh. I reset the DB, now I can't register using the QR code. I tried manually connecting using EZVIZ_CODE and LAVIEW_CODE but it doesn't...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Various ways, i actually have a VLAN setup that drops all WAN traffic. You could also put these devices outside the dhcp range and setup up firewall rules.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Any reason why your using the ezviz firmware? The laview or nelly seems like the best one do to onvif support. Does the PIR sensor work with BI and ONVIC FW?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I finally got my ezviz delivery from Christmas, i read that it got hot but man it gets hot. Just started playing with it, was able to connect and even update the ezviz firmware using the hik app while in visitors mode. Once on my wifi i disabled Internet for the doorbell and as expected the...

    Best Tablet to View Cams

    I have an old Nexus 7 that I installed TinyCam on and use that, curious to know why you all use UI3 for an always on device? I really like UI3 and use it on my PC and Shield TV when I need to, but for an always on device I would rather not use the BI servers resources.

    Getting Intel Quick Sync to work with Blue Iris (Settings & Troubleshooting)

    I've been having a hard time to get quicksync to work, i'm on Windows Server 2016 headless, so can't use any of the DCH drivers. Everything works as long as I keep BI open or just disable HW decoding altogether, even setting the lowest quality UI3 would complain my connection is not fast...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sadly I'm still waiting on my delivery, so I'll ask you all. Has anyone tried using tinycam to see if 2 way audio works? I want a fully functional local camera that isn't cloud connected at all.

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    This looks like the perfect non doorbell camera. Few questions: Does 2 way audio work in BI? Does 2 way audio work with other apps like tinycam? Do the alarm or IVS work in BI or tinycam? The talks about push notifications from the camera for alarms, is that if the camera is connected to the...

    So better to use the HDW2431 on the porch/driveway since there are street lights and use the HFW2231S for the backyard?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Its okay for initial setup as long as it functions without Internet afterwards. As for power i may just get the below or see if i have a proper power supply that i can splice together, doesn't look like you need anything special if the volts and amps are correct...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Happy Holidays I did search for bench, it's clear people got it working without actually installing it on a doorbell but it isn't clear how they did it. Do i just plug it into 18-24v AC wall wart or would it go up in smoke? Since it not on a doorbell chime do you need the PAK or the red...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Looking to order the EZVIZ version and wondering if this fits my needs. Plan to use it with Blue Iris, so need to flash the Laview or Nelly FW? Does 2 way audio work within Blue Iris? Do you need some sort of online account for setup? I'm hoping it can be configured locally without ezviz, rca...

    Best way to run wires outside

    Yes option 1 seems like the easiest approach and having all my equipment in one location. I got coax wires exposed when my ISP ran a wire to the basement, why would this be any different if using proper wires?
