That's good to know. I'll have to try again to reserve a DHCP IP for it after I get things more sorted out. Sometimes it just takes a little while for the device or the router to expire the non-reserved IP so we'll see

Thank you both for all your help! I was able to add it manually using the top Add button in the app. I'm still testing with it and changing settings, but I'll let you know if I run into any issues with other firmwares etc

Oh, although at this point, it looks like Sean's computer is directly connected to the DBs own wifi network, so maybe that's a reason why?

Sounds good - I'll give that a try

I did notice that in Sean's screenshots, AFTER he changed the firmware with the BCT,at the bottom you can see that his cam was showing "Inactive" - not sure how relevant that is, but just noticed it.

No, it doesn't appear to have changed anything. The mapped static IP never did anything, it always just showed up on the IP that the router assigned, even when I rebooted the DB (both from the button on the unit itself and by turning off the breaker to the doorbell). This was all while there was...

Well, it seems like the DB doesn't want to take the static IP address from my router. Even though it's set up, it keeps going back to it's own IP (or i'm assuming the dynamic one that the router gave it in the first place?) Yes, I'm able to ping it at the IP that it wants. Everything appears...

Agreed - I noticed the same thing that mine says Inactive for Security, but I can't figure out why that might be. I used the Ezviz app to connect it to my network (but plan on using one of the apps you recommend in your article going forward). Maybe setting it up with a different app would...

Yes, it's very useful! Thank you so much for your post, that's how I got started with this doorbell and really appreciate all the work that you did to put it together!! Your screenshots are actually exactly why I'm not sure why mine isn't working, because mine looks different then your...

Thanks for the reply! I'm using v3.0.2.6 (found here: New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera)

Hi everyone, first thanks for this awesome thread - it's amazing! Second, I'm trying to set up a Ezviz DB1 using the Batch Configuration Tool. I've got it connected to my network and the doorbell shows up in the bottom half of the config tool, but when I select it, the option to "Add" it, is...
