I flashed back to hikvision firmware like before and onvif is working but still synology will not allow me to set the motion detection area. It will say activating or just be a black screen.
The Echo Spot is also working with the EzViz Skill
Went ahead and did an update on synology to DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 6 the latest available. I figured that might help with the live view/motion detection area for the Ezviz DB1 and its the same. Very odd. I know this has to do with resolution somehow.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow I am getting dyslectic in my older age. I even went back to someone who originally told me about the new version and I got the numbers backwards. Thank you for that catch, corrected the 101.The lockdown is getting me mad, I'm bored, so I said: let's try something different.
Yes, I used the same auth code of the first replaced cam. I guess, when you replace it, they do it also at their cloud level. But it's just a guess.
One more thing you might add to 101:
- Alexa is working fine with Hikvision firmware, I kept using EZVIZ skill, without changing anything, since they use the same cloud. You can flag yes in the 101 fw table.
- in your fw table of the 101 there's an incorrect version for Hikvision: last firmware is v5.2.4 build 200321 (March 21, 2020), see screenshot attached.
So now, with Hikvision fw on the DB1 I have ONVIF working on the synology, SAGE sensor working and Alexa working too. I guess I found my new configuration.
Happy guy.
I would suggest installing Batch Config Tool or iVMS-4200 and see what firmware version your Doorbell is actually on. You could even try another App, I am assuming you are using RCA's App.
Thank you I oversaw this part with batch tool. It appears the batch tool confirms I’m on the old version. I will play with this some more to see if I can figure that out. Thanks =)
Just be sure you have a solid WiFi connection to your DB when upgrading firmware. You don't want any disconnects during it's process...
thanks guys. Was able to upgrade from the batch config successfully. I plugged my WiFi range extender in five feet from the doorbell to be safe!
Smart move...Congrats...Enjoy this DB, we all are...With the Batch Tool, you will be able to play with brightness, contrast, WDR, etc. If you haven't already, go through our 101 on improvement tips, Res., Frame Rate, etc. Also try a RTSP stream to VLC on your PC. I like being able to have a window open while on my PC to monitor our front door.
I hear ya. Unfortunately my view from my door isn’t very glamorous. Haha. That is cool though.
Hey, nor is ours:
Agreed. So far really happy with its performance BI is kinda hit or miss. Sometimes the stream dies but the RCA app has been full proof. Very happyHey, nor is ours:
New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera
Try this, this is from KlaverBoer who posted it earlier. My issue is when I add it this way I constantly get disconnects. See if you have better luck, I might have messed part of this up. You cannot add the Ezviz DB1 camera to your Synology using the normal way. But you must connect to your...ipcamtalk.com
But one of the great things about this DB is it's instant motion alerts, less than a second most of the time and never more than 2. It is far from perfect but much, much better than other Smart Doorbells out there.
Enjoy...
Here is the person to ask:
ARGH, after a while it stopped working fine lol. and the chime started to have a low buzzing noise when you listened closely and stopped working and doorbell started malfunctioning.
