    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I retested this myself again today with the latest firmware. Unfortunately, the results are inconclusive. I cut a tiny piece of tape to completely cover the lens to ensure software motion detection was disabled and verify the onboard PIR was working. It worked... sort of (inconsistently is the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Try closing and reconnecting. Might take a few tries. On my laview camera with IVMS4200, it doesn't always appear. The settings you need to adjust are in a menu titled "CCD." Right above "image" See attached.

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I don't use the hikvision app with the DB2, so I'm afraid I can't say. The wifi connection has been very stable for me for both the DB2 and DB11, but good signal strength is probably a must.

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    It's close, but between the two doorbells, I would give a SLIGHT edge to the Hikvision. The factory settings for video quality are washed out and a tiny bit worse than the Dahua. However, this can be tuned with iVMS-4200, and the different faceplate options are helpful. It's also worth nothing...

    Yes, as far as I have seen. Only one color

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Oops, I mistyped earlier. There is no beta 3. After beta v2 came RC1 which I linked about 5 posts up from here. I still haven't tried it yet. I don't know why they don't just update the top post. Agree its an annoyance, but for a $35 camera which didn't officially support RTSP in the first...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Yes. I left it about 2-3 pages back on this thread. This board isn't the easiest to navigate, so I'll just repost here. Wyze beta v2 firmware: Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)

    Script to Detect Colour, Make and Model of Car and People from IP Camera (Updated July 2019)

    I assumed that would be another way to define direction. Unfortunately, in our environment, the driveway cameras are zoomed in pretty tight. The cars take up a large part of the frame, so there probably won't be enough "runway" so to speak to determine a difference in direction between...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Oh, wow. Even on V3 of the Beta firmware? I did have the VLC restart issue on V1, but after changing to V2 it's been rock solid. Because it's been stable, I didn't bother to update to V3.

    Script to Detect Colour, Make and Model of Car and People from IP Camera (Updated July 2019)

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately our environment is different (we pull straight into/out of our driveway always the same direction), but nice to know of different ways this can be applied.

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I'm not the OP, but also had the same issue. This seemed to happen quite frequently with v1 of the beta firmware. Wyze is on v3 now, and RTSP streams seem to have stabilized. Working great with BI

    Script to Detect Colour, Make and Model of Car and People from IP Camera (Updated July 2019)

    @ilovecoffee thanks for putting this together! This is an interesting thing to play with. Just to clarify, automl can't actually distinguish between arriving or leaving, can it? I ask because I looked over the automl docs and it doesn't seem to have this ability yet. However, you mentioned...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I'm far from qualified to verify IP ratings, but I did disassemble the DB11. It does at least SEEM reasonably protected from water intrusion. There are silicone and rubber gaskets in all the right places. The intent is to use the chime matched to each doorbell. As far as I can tell, all the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Ah. Good to know! I'll have to retest the PIR. Yes, optocoupler should work great, especially for tight spaces

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I haven't found an onvif event for doorbell press yet, but I didn't look very hard. Alternatively, to send doorbell events, you can install a relay parallel to the power wires. When the doorbell button is pressed, it will cause a dead short on the power wires. The voltage drop will trigger the...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Good question. The DB1 PIR issue was reported by @Emiks5 here. I have not yet taken the doorbell apart, but was able to verify by running my own tests as well. For me personally, I don't mind since I have a external PIR mounted above the camera triggering notifications, but it could be an issue...

    Wow. That's a pretty big deal. Just saw that in the other thread. Updated! Let me know in case I've missed anything else.
