    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    All set with glare/spots, disabling the IR did the trick!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Last night using a shade I was unable to manipulate the glare/spots in any way. After reviewing previous threads on my model(see attached) the IR sensors may be causing the issue. I dismantled the doorbell and disconnected the IR sensors. As much as I didn’t want to I decided to clean the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Same spots, they don't move and only visible at night. I've never had the unit apart or the lens removed. No condensation issues either. Think maybe remove the lens and clean?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I disconnected the doorbell to closely inspect the lens and found some scratches but not sure if they are causing the glare. I turned off the security lights to view the image and the glare is still there(attached). Tonight I’ll play around with a shade above the lens to see if it alters the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Considering the Reolink WiFi but I’m already connected to 2 mechanical door chimes. Ubell(Hikvision DS-KB6403) has been working flawlessly for over 5 years and 2 homes with full time record to NVR. Only issue I have is some nighttime glare and not sure if it is inside lens cover? Also...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Lockouts came back after inistalling Windows 11. Come to find out I think it was network settings? I narrowed it down to setting home network to "Public" after it was set on "Private". No more lockouts and I reinstalled Microsoft Office too! Upgraded my firmware to 180726 after reading...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I hear what you're saying but maybe there are limitations by the manufacturer to prevent playing around with settings? It definitely appears that way with my doorbell which is why I use the router static IP. Also, did I read somewhere that the AD410 may be ONVIF compliant and/or logged into...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    My doorbell has no capability to set static IP but I have assigned it one through the router and it hasn't changed.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Have you upgraded you doorbell yet? I'm still using Ubell rebranded Hikvision for over 3 years and looking to upgrade. The AD410 looks tempting considering I have since purchased Amcrest NVR and cameras. The Hikvision works fine recording 24/7 to the NVR but wondering if I'd be happier with...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I'm going to wait until the weekend and install Office 2010 but I will uncheck the windows update option to auto update MS products. Supposedly Office 2010 is no longer supported as of Oct 2020 and may be a security risk? I really don't do any online collaborating with it on my home desktop so...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Wife's computer has same updates as mine. Just tried it again this morning, I was locked out and I was able to log on with hers. One thing I notice I never get the countdown that says you have X attempts left? When I intentionally enter an incorrect password when the device is unlocked it...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Any luck with figuring out why the 30minute lock out when typing in correct password? I can log into the doorbell from my phone & tablet(wifi) when I receive the message on my Windows 10 desktop? I can also log on using my wife’s Windows 10 desktop that is connected by wifi. So I disconnected...

    Calling Android users! Hik-Connect push notifications not showing when locked [SOLVED]

    Stick with 4.14.1.0407 if it works for you. I've seen no significant upgrade/improvements with the Hikvision updates with or without Playstore support. I'm not expecting any considering the hardware is dated. Good luck!

    Calling Android users! Hik-Connect push notifications not showing when locked [SOLVED]

    OK I tested all 3 versions, V4.14.1.0407, V4.15.0.0609, V4.16.0.0706 using S21 with all background apps closed(easier to close all) no battery op or mon for Hik app. No push notification came through until I unlocked the phone screen. Same issue as previous Samsung phones I owned. Run...

    Calling Android users! Hik-Connect push notifications not showing when locked [SOLVED]

    If I recall when I allow the app to sleep push notifications will not come through. Unfortunately I have to navigate Android and Samsung issues to suit my preferences. I'm working on another Hikconnect issue in another thread that may be network/Windows related?
