    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks David, I think I have encrypted video, it's just all our images being stored on a public server that makes no sense to me. I had assumed that logging into the app would authenticate me to access images/video from the doorbell itself (or at least access it from a restricted cloud server)...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I just noticed all my EZVIZ images are stored publicly, with no encryption or login. I know there was a massive uproar when Eufy didn't encrypt stuff, but I suppose that's because they promised encryption. EZVIZ doesn't mentioned anything about encryption. Just seems bizarre to me that all...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    How can I tell if the MicroSD is full? Mine has been running for years, it says the MicroSD is "normal" and the earliest recording is in 2021! So it seems like it hasn't started overwriting yet!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'm currently using the software version of button detection, which is to use an old android phone running the EZVIZ app and then Tasker pings out to my NodeRed/HomeAssistant whenever the Ezviz app opens! I don't have a chime, so the current sensor would be a bit more work. Software solution is...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I unfortunately don't have a socket nearby and already have a nice location for hard wiring it into the lighting circuit. There's only one bell transformer on screwfix (the one I've already tried), but there are lots of 12V lighting transformers. I'll have a read about whether any of these would...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Considering a slightly more powerful transformer to avoid the buzzing I'm currently getting (it's like we've got a neon light fitted). Anybody think this one would be appropriate: Robus Electronic Transformer 35-105VA It seems to be 12V way more current. Its designed for light fittings but...

    The username should be admin and the password should be the verification code (6 uppercase letters)

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for that. Just to check I understand... You're saying whilst it had an incorrect gateway IP in the settings, it has never gone into AP mode. But as soon as you put in a correct gateway IP, the doorbell rebooted into AP mode. You then had to use the batch config to switch out of AP mode...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'd like to know why it goes back into AP mode and changes from static to DHCP after a reboot or power outage. Very annoying to think there's a whole process to go through to get a doorbell working again

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So in order to get the doorbell working again, I had to unscrew it and hold the reset button. This meant I needed to go through whole Batch Config softap to EZVIZ SSID process again, which is a bit of a pain just because power was turned off. Is this the experience of everyone else? Needing to...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I turned the power off last night to listen to the noise of the transformer. I turned it back on not long after. After 8 hours, my app is still showing the doorbell as offline. Doorbell is connected to the network and I can see the video stream just fine through onvif software. What's the deal...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Do you still get notifications that the doorbell button was pressed if it has no Internet access? I'm using without a chime, so need the notifications.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    As far as I'm aware, the button push event is not accessible via software without Internet access. It goes to the app. You can use a dummy phone with the app running to capture the press and forward the event via Tasker or similar. Otherwise it's a hardware solution. The one exception to this...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I've just installed the Ezviz DB1 in the UK and I used a transformer that's cropped up a few times on this thread: British General 8-24V 8VA Bell Transformer Module It's buzzing way too loud for my liking. I have no chime installed, so I installed the extra fuse wire, and used the 24V terminal...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'm looking at installing the Ezviz DB1 today and I've read the 101, just got a question about the fuse. Since I'm not going to use a chime, I need the fuse installed, but there's basically no space. Can the fuse be inside the house with the transformer? Does it matter whether it's on the 0V or...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Do we know of any decent way to run an ONVIF-enabled firmware whilst also turning off the outdoor chime? I think it sod get annoying to neighbours but I also want PIR events via the ONVIF API into Home Assistant
