FYI: That info was in the instruction pamphlet, that came with my review unit cam.
The documents that ship with the camera now does not contain this hard reset info.

Got the DB11 installed. Works fine. Just have a small issue: the loudspeaker at the doorbell itself is incredible loud after you pushed the button. How can I change the volume of the loudspeaker on the doorbell? No solution in the manual.

Connect to the db11 with the tool IP config and see if that gives you the option to adjust the speaker.

Here is the manual:
Here is the spec sheet:
We are off to a better start than with the Db-10 video door bell. Keep in mind, So far this is based off of the DB-11 residing about 3 ft from my wifi router.

As I don't have a traditional door bell, I'm testing this using a 24vac transformer.

The following works as it should:
  • Adding to the Lechange app.
  • Manual Video viewing: both SD and HD
  • Audio during manaul view-talk and listen.
  • Audio Quality from the door bell speaker is MUCH better than DB10....still very low volume.
  • No batterys!
  • Motion detection alerts, with actual recorded video.
  • SD card is recognized and can record to the card (same exact SD card the DB10 still doesn't recognize)
  • Pressing the door bell button, alert comes to phone.
  • Pressing the alert on the phone, brings up video from the Db11.
Here's where things go a little south. When answering a call on the phone, out of 10 test calls, 3 times I received the error that "Audio Failed". Video still streamed.

We'll see what happens when I move this out by the front door.

Great review. Your work is appreciated That said, this doesn’t sound like the best use of a mallard.

Opened DB11 in ConfigTool, no option for speaker volume:

Any other ideas? :)
I have the same issue. I would like to disable the sound on button press (on the video doorbell) but lowering the volume would work for me too. Have you found a solution yet?

Or can we maybe just replace the sound file on the doorbell somehow?

Hello. Help please. I have such a problem. Video recording begins a few seconds after a person appears in the frame. I see a video in the archive where a person has already approached and turned away.
Can I make a pre-recording? I have a ip camera, it has a pre-recording in the archive 5 seconds before the appearance of a person.

Hi All,
The firmware on my DB11 has updated to V1.000.R.20211207 and the video now seems overexposed. I tried to manage with the config tool and now I am getting a message that it is not supported yet. Configtool is updated to latest version 5.000.0000001.8 Any ideas?

Hi everyone. I plan to use DB-11 in conjunction with my existing chime, that has a separate input 220V power line, and a output 12V line which now has a simple button. If I replace the button with video doorbell can I use the output power line as both a power and signal line for bell, or I need there any other fixes to the connection in order for everything to work properly? Thanks
