    Dahua DH-DB6I Video Doorbell Has Lost Chime?

    Bump. Is the ChimeKit needed for all chimes or just a mechanical chime?

    Dahua DH-DB6I Video Doorbell Has Lost Chime?

    I think I've narrowed the problem down to a failed "ChimeKit". Hard reset didn't help. When I remove the doorbell completely and just short the two wires from the transformer, the mechanical chime dings normally. When the doorbell is hooked up, it rings my phone and is providing a normal...

    Dahua DH-DB6I Video Doorbell Has Lost Chime?

    DMSS app still shows the mechanical chime option selected. I guess I'll have to remove the Dahua and power kit for chime in order to just test the mechanical chime with a normal doorbell button.

    Dahua DH-DB6I Video Doorbell Has Lost Chime?

    My DH-DB6I video doorbell has been working fine with a mechanical chime for about 18 months. The video stream still works with Blue Iris 5. But recently the mechanical chime no longer dings when the doorbell button is pushed. The doorbell is obviously still getting power from the 24 VAC...

    Weird Blue Iris Or Dahua Overlay Issue

    Oh, thank you! So smart! I don't ever intentionally zoom the image in Blue Iris. I doubt I would have ever figured that out. :)

    Weird Blue Iris Or Dahua Overlay Issue

    I have multiple Dahua IPC T5442T-ZE cameras working in Blue Iris 5. On every camera I have the Dahua overlay enabled showing the channel title and the time title. When I look at my cameras using UI3, I see the overlays on every camera. When I open Blue Iris 5 and look at the cameras, there is...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    I guess I should ask now. I've never setup and used a TFTP server. Do I copy and paste your whole list of commands at once? Or do I wait for each command to finish before typing in the next command? Thanks again.

    Did I Just Brick My Camera?

    I had actually seen this comment previously. When I reached out to Andy, I asked him if the chipset might have been the cause for my problem. He didn't really confirm this, but instead indicated that the firmware should have worked on all versions of IPC-T5442T-ZE. But it didn't work, so...

    Did I Just Brick My Camera?

    EmpireTech IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.840.15OG00D.0.R.220818.bin I used this on 9 other cameras without difficulty. The bricked camera was the oldest of the bunch however. I don't know if that caused the problem.

    Did I Just Brick My Camera?

    Several factory resets have not helped. I reached out to Andy, but he only said I'd have to use a serial connection and gave no detail. Can anyone help further?

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    I have apparently bricked my IPC-T5442T-ZE while doing an uncomplicated firmware update. I used the web interface of the camera (like I have done with 9 other cameras). The update progress bar went to completion and stated "rebooting". Since then I cannot connect to the camera with my...

    Did I Just Brick My Camera?

    I have numerous IPC-T5442T-ZE cameras that I started purchasing in 2020. I have updated the firmware on 6 of the newer cameras using the web interface and Internet Explorer. It has always worked fine. Today I tried the same process with my oldest camera. It had its original firmware. I...
