I'm sure this was asked and answered elsewhere, But I'm not seeing it. Can I use this process to update an RCA doorbell with currently running laview FW to EZVIZ FW, to disable the outdoorchime, then load hikvision to get ONVIF back, but might have a logo on the screen?

I can confirm it works fine in Home Assistant with a zigbee controller

Wow. I did the same and did not find anything either. Most of the comments were older so thought maybe I missed something or maybe there was a different search term such as isapi that maybe I missed. But thanks for the search

Is it possible to get a snapshot from a non onvif source? This is from 101 http://<IP Address>/onvif/snapshot.jpg but I ran into an issue (i think) related to having too many onvif streams going, and would like to get a snapshot for home automation, but maybe not from onvif

Ahh missed that. IFTTT would work. I dont know if I'd trust it as a chime replacement, but if I wanted to know if someone rang the doorbell while I was not home, that'd work just fine. Is the zigbee frequecy range for the UK different like zwave is?

The $5 sage sensor is a zigbee device and works quite well, if you have a zigbee controller. It's near real time in HA.

So, two quick questions. 1. I assume this is like the other firmwares and you "should" be able to flash this on a different branded doorbell. I have an early 2019 RCA running laview firmware right now. 2. If the answer to 1 is yes, does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the outdoor...

I recommend you start here. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-rca-hsdb2a-3mp-doorbell-ip-camera.31601/page-101 This should answer most if not all of your questions.

I'm running the docker container shared by @dfarkov to capture motion events to my Home Assistant server. It pulls the motion events using ONVIF. ONVIF also seems to work better for my NVR, but it does support rstp as well

New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera this was the post I remembered, but not the asnwer, just someone else asking the same question I did

I cannot seem to find the comment, but can someone point to the post where someone physically disabled the outdoor chime. I'm pretty sure i'll never get the option with laview firmware and I need the OVNIF support. I have no need for an outdoor ding dong. It's so loud.

No need to apologize. This is one of the things I've been wanting for such a long time. a native response to the built in motion sensor in HA. I've used other ways of doing motion analysis on the camera feed with decent success. I've used IFTTT with a little success as well. Never used blue...

I updated today from 1.01 (I think) to 1.03, and the container stopped getting motion events. No errors, just did not see them. I reverted to 1.02 and it works. No changes to my config file. Regardless, thanks so much for this, I've been wanting to get motion events from my doorbell for so long!

Has anyone with an older RCA (mid 2019 or earlier) door bell, used the latest ezviz firmware? and been able to turn off the chime? Additionally, has anyone then went back to the laview firmware or nelly with ONVIF support and the the chime stayed off.
