Got the lockout message again today using IE and chrome on Win10, except the first message said 21 minutes, instead of 30. I can log in fine with iOs. I logged in a couple of days ago without getting locked out, so not sure what the 21 minutes is today. Everything else works fine, shrug. Maybe...

Don't you have to use the password on the front of the device (under the front panel near the QR code) to activate it first?

same version iOS app as TimTech, but my doorbell firmware is 1.4.62 180515. i can't see any supplemental light settings either (sorry, was just going off the update notes for that one), but the settings page has a few more items, including Custom Audio Management, which I assume means you can...

just a quick note to say hit-connect received an update today, and amongst the new settings is one called "Auto Answer" that initiates the connection with the doorbell without giving you the chance to view who is there. this is enabled by default for some reason, so i switched it back to off...

updated iOS last week, my LTS app got updated yesterday, and lo-and-behold, just a black screen when the post was delivered this morning, so once again i can't see whose at the door before actually answering the phone. have to do the switcheroo back to Hik-Connect or Uniden and see if they...

nah I just switched the account over to the LTS app using the same method you described previously...the doorbell press notifications can only go to one application (havent tried sharing...), and you have to 'unbind' any other app that was previously registered to receive doorbell notifications...

yes, after getting the doorbell working with the uniden app, i found it did stop sending notifications through after i missed a delivery. i installed the LTS Connection version of the app and switched the doorbell account over to that, and it has been working fine since. its really bugging me...

sorry for the late update - finally got around to this, and YES!! it is working again as described above. took a bit of effort to reset the device and delete it from my hik-connect, but finally back to how it was. thanks muchly for the advice - until another update borks it again I guess...!

this is usually a wifi problem - your phone (app) and doorbell need to be on the same ssid. did you change your phone's wifi ssid or the house wifi name recently?

had a knock at the front door today, and yup, still no video on the iPhone Hik-Connect app. its just a black call screen similar to a normal phone call. wtf is this...the video is the whole frigging point of having the camera doorbell, and they remove that function? smh...going to try some of...

Seems like the HikConnect app received an update recently... Do people still get the option of live view when someone presses the door bell, before actually accepting their 'call'? These days I'm just getting a black call screen liked a normal phone call without any live video... I'd like to...

its been a couple of months so i thought i might update this. the doorbell is going fine and the image is great. night is fine too, as there is a sensor porch light so video is hardly ever in IR mode. notifications also seem to work via hikconnect (although other than my own testing, Ive only...

all connected up in parallel with the alarm plug pack, seem to be no adverse effects (alarm is reading normal voltage, doorbell is fully operational) now just to sort out the other little quirks with this doorbell, like "No platform access" when i hop onto another ssid with my phone, and not...

cheers for the reply - will try connecting it up in parallel and see how it goes. yes, i used the resistor included in the hik box and had that wired up in series on the test bench. alarm plug pack is definitely AC. wonder what the current draw with a chime would be...wont be adding one...

recently picked up the original hik AC version of this and got it running on a 24V 1.0A test bench. all seems good and connected to wifi, receiving incoming call notifications through hik-connect when on mobile data. couldn't seem to record motion events to my nvr, but haven't tinkered around...
