    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    If you get one Flynreellow, be sure to let us know how your experience with it was. Hopefully you won't have the issues I did. I won't give you a hard time if you get a bad one :)

    Lol, because my wife is getting upset with me as we have a ring pro and she doesn't understand these things and I got tired of messing around with the RCA. The ring pro works fine and rings the digital chime no problem it just has a 2 second delay. They also anounced some new doorbells at CES...

    Mine had to be defective, way to many issues with it. Defective units happen all the time. It's too bad as I really liked the form factor and local storage.

    Nope, not getting another one and not user error LOL. Mine would simply not ring any chime mechanical or digital. The ring pro is back on the door casing and while it's not perfect it does ring the chime. My mistake was probably updating the firmware... should have left it alone.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Been digging some more, it appears the white contrast issue with sunlight was introduced in the firmware update..... I did get a 24v transformer, luckily I can return the 16v one if the 24v does the trick. I am going to give it one more try in the AM and if I cant get either the mechanical or...

    I have a TP-Link Archer C4000 gigabit tri band, it's a beast, 6 antennas and 1.8gzh quad core CPU. I bet it's the transformer, the 16v 30va might not be enough. If I can get it to ring I still have to get around the washed out video..

    Are you guys that have these using a 16v transformer or a 24v one? I saw in the Amazon reviews a guy could not get any chimes working then tried a 24v transformer and it worked....hmmm I guess I could try the 24v and see if that is the issue, maybe that's why the darn wifi is so weak also.

    well, gave up on it. I must have a defective one. It refuses to work with any mechanical or digital chime, I went out and bought the recommended mechanical and the hampton bay model from Home Depot listed on the compatible chime kit. All the chimes worked perfectly with the standard button and...

    IVMS does not work, I can connect but the 3 sliders for the image settings are greyed out, see the screen shot. I tried the IVMS app on my phone and that does not work at all. I did update the device to the latest firmware before, maybe that was a mistake?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks, I didn't see that post :) Hopefully I can get a chime working. I went to home depot and got the model in the list for the eletronic and a mechanical one that was in the list. The Home depot one is exactly the same as the Heath Zenith one externally but could be different inside, will...

    Check out this screen shot, does this look right? everywhere there is bright sun it's completely washed out. Exposure on this cam is messed up? Is this normal?

    still can't get the chime to work, If I put the diode on the back like the chime instructions recommend it just plays the chime over and over as if I just touched the two wires. tried reversing the diode and then the doorbell does not work.
