    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, guess it's time to start evaluating a replacement. The ReoLink seems to be the most reasonable at this point...though bit annoyed this didn't last a bit longer.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Anyone ever find a suitable replacement for the sensor cover for these? Mine is really cracked and needs some kind of replacement/additional protection.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So....if my transformer is reading 18.5 v or so (checked at the transformer and because of awkward placement tested at the doorbell to confirm)...what do I get as a replacement? :) Only seen 16v and 24v mentioned so far.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for this (and others that have replied). I know where mine is - it's on top of a junciton box in my 'floor'/basement ceiling. REALLY hard to see and it doesn't look like it's labeled (outside of the UL sticker). My chime (mechanical) also chimes very oddly with the bell attached (lower...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Contemplating just replacing my transformer - it's in a really odd place, I can't read it's specs at all (if they are on there) and I don't want to kill myself taking it off (there's a TON of wires all around it)...but I could just shutdown the whole house and replace it safely. :) Any...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It reconnected fine once I restarted it - and I have the LaView app due to an issue I had around the mechanical chime toggle. So...it just stopepd working with the app and ringing the bell with no notification...but kept the RTSP stream working. Really really odd.

    No - I can open the stream, watch it while the app isn't connected. So...simultaneously.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So...having a weird new problem. The doorbell disconnects from the app now - and stops actually ringing - but I can still stream from it in MotionEye and via various other apps. If I power-cycle, it reconnects and is fine. Somewhat baffled...this really isn't behavior that's fine w/o some...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Well..that worked. Very stupid from a EZViz app perspective I must say.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    That would need me to change the firmware, right? Really stupid they removed the ability to use a mechanical chime by default.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So...mine has decided to stop working with my physical chime all of a sudden. Just...nothing. I honestly don't know how long it's been an issue but I'm getting no indoor chimes at all. I have the powerpak thing installed...but there doesn't seem to be an option in the app to toggle type of...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sorry for the delay...holidays and all. In the attached you can see the bounce off my brick wall that's resulting in almost nothing else being visible.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    How have people dealt with IR reflection? My door is recessed about a foot so getting some major IR reflection off the bricks next to the door even with the tilted mount at night.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Well, my doorbell just went offline and I can't get it to reset. Is there something special you need to do? Light is still blue around the button but holding the button in does nothing. Ok...this is weird. It's offline in the EZViz app but not via the stream. And the doorbell isn't ringing...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I got mine from Amazon and did a firmware update via the app once I had it installed over the weekend. That was it.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So, if you have the EZViz DB1 and the EZViz logo, the way you get rid of it is actually easy, just not apparent from the settings. I did this with a v5.2.4 build 190708 just now. 1. Install Batch Configuration and connect to the DB1. 2. Click on the gear icon to get into Remote Configuration 3...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have the Ezviz firmware as of now. Outside of an update, I haven't touched anything else - has the motion settings greyed out as well. And yeah, the motion thing is really odd - cars in the street (which is at least 20ft from my front door, if not more) works on the middle setting but when I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So...after an initial nice period, I've become underwhelmed with this doorbell cam. So far I can't get the motion detection to work well at all - either it detected EVERYTHING (any car driving by) with the 9ft setting or nothing at all with the 5 ft setting. And it keeps freezing up in...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    You rock, thanks. One suggestion (I'll add it here once I find it, because I know I saw it before) - you could add recommended video settings to tweak to from the default. I just turned on WDR for example and WOW. Image is 100x better (given, it's raining and at night but it's WAY better)...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks David (again). For Q2, I was wondering more if there was an option like keystone settings on a projector. But...guess not. For Q6, was wondering more from something more discrete than whats in the EZviz app w/o having to setup BlueIris. I'm actually tweaking the hell out of my...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Great, super informative thread (and love the 101 - on page 69 of this thread, nice job David L)! Got mine all setup but wondering about a few things. 1. Is there anyway to have the button press activate/do something? (from a IFTTT,Alexa, or any other triggering perspective). If not, is it...
