Thank you for the insight, I did just rule out the wiring as I did a bench test (with the chime still on the wall) and connected the doorbell right at the chime and observed the same behavior. Once my new transformer goes in I will have to see what happens

Sorry for all the questions but do you have other cameras on BI? What version of BI are you running? Hopefully not the one camera version:

Not sure how I find the build number. I did try purchasing another camera and have it on a bench test and I get the same results.

@msmcknight Have you configured / connected to the app testing the Hikvision video doorbell on the test bench and set up the option in the app for the chime type? You do not need to connect the Doorbell to your doorbell wiring / chimes to configure the app. If the app is working fine and...

There are some Digital/Electronic Chimes that are not compatible with this Doorbell. Of course we do not have a list of those, we did include the list from the Hikvision Data Sheet on our 101: Keep in mind since this list is old I am sure there are other models that do work that are not on this...

Hi Guys, I'm not able to pull all of the chimes and put them on a bench so I'm trying to isolate one chime and just work with it. If I get it working, I'll add the others back one at a time. I have installed a new 16v/30a transformer, replacing the old 10va one. If I put a voltmeter and an...

...like Doorbell button press...This video better explains what I am trying to say: Back to your wiring, as Pete mentioned, several of us here bench tested our DB first, that is get it connected to our network and played with it before drilling any mounting holes. Of course most without a...

Every Suggestion is a good one ;) Well, i am fed up - i give it a try and send the whole package back and try another one. If this unit will have the same problem, i will ask Ezviz for another powerkit (with all resistors). I tried 3 Power Supplies + 1 Labaratory Power Supply, 3 analog chimes, 1...

...not included with EZVIZ, or maybe it was a newer kit. Either way, you may want to try and get another one sent to you. Also, I assume you are bench testing, if so, be sure and test your existing wires too, some here have found faulty wiring (breaks when moved work/don't work) I know these...

...value (~6.6k). Also note that it depends on the wires connecting your doorbell to the Modernizr, since wires have a resistance, the longer your wire, the more resistance it effectively has, and that could change the situation once installed versus sitting there with short wires on your test...

If you get good firmware running and can TTL into the device can you poke around and see what OS is running on it, is it linux, maybe busybox. is it password protected. what chipset is this. shame we can't tasmoto it lol!

Wow, very Awesome...Can't wait to see what you find...I like your logic and agree at factory you would think they flash firmware via a serial port. Thank You for taking the time to help...

...the other end of those green & yellow test leads is a 24V AC transformer (for lawn sprinklers - works great for powering these doorbells on the bench). Probing for DC voltage across pins 4 (positive) and 1 (negative) to see if this 4-pin header is a candidate for serial communication...

So I do not want to discourage you but we had a period of several RCA Doorbells brick when Nelly's firmware was applied, earlier this year. Not sure if any recovered, but that was before it was discovered one can recover from a brick by doing what you did. Have you concerned trying another...

...then maybe 20-30 sec later there will be a very brief blink off/on (1/4 sec or less). Powering it with a 24 VAC lawn sprinkler transformer which I've used successfully for bench setup of my other RCA doorbells. Seems I can't get it to pick up the firmware file from the sdcard and start loading.

...posting about heat problems though. If you find any thing please let us know! The 8v trans setup I run now would NOT work for most, its less then 10 feet from the VDB and chime so it has very little voltage drop. The RCA VDB bench tested good down to about 6.5vac WITHOUT a mechanical...

That's how it should be done. Configure everything on one desk, near the PC. Once everything works, you install in the final location. Basic stuff. :)

Its very, very, very strict playing with 220V here, where its no insurance coverage if even trying to touch it. But the main issue test is I guess its easy to get it working in general, but taking into account wire length and long term stream is harder to predict. The reason why Im asking is I...

You could try the Ring Trans. at 15VA. So I have a question, can you guys not bench test before install, I understand you have to call an Electrician when working with power, but just thinking, you could connect up a power cable to the trans. and plug it into an outlet to test/setup.

...we can come up with a easier/better solution to applying Power while holding down the Reset Button, by maybe suggesting taking the DB to a Test Bench to fix, transformers are normally cheap. Thank You Again, Enjoy your DB, we love ours... Have a Great Day! Great seems to be my word of the...

...dimmer switch over here in the US. For JTAGing here though initially wire to pads (RX, TX, VCC and Ground) or lately using the OTA methodology. I kept playing though with the doorbell on the work bench with a power supply connected to it and typically keep all tablets / phones off in the house.

So I saw you in other Threads, which IP Cam did you get or are getting? The 5442 Turret? I just got mine last week, still hoping to make time this week to set it up, bench test that is. Still trying to read he 50 page Thread :)

Very well said. Yes our 101 is errored now, at the time it was what we knew with the FWs then, mainly last year. As you know, we are working on updating it, we were just not wanting to remove anything yet as to reference back to those previous issues. Thank you for sharing all your experiences...

...the doorbell from the EZViz app. Then I flashed the HikVision FW. Once the flash was done I did a hard reset, connected the doorbell to my bench wifi network using the Batch tool, and then registered the doorbell with the HikConnect app. Once I had set the parameters the way I wanted them...

...whole thing into a power strip that had an on-off switch so I could easily cycle power on the doorbell. Definitely was worth doing this on the bench before installing it in its permanent location. I also set up a separate wifi router so I could quickly connect the doorbell and my phone to...

...start by providing adequate power to your new device before doing any further trouble shooting, Unless, you are simply, setting up as a test bench, "sort of scenario", then, without the chime, 12V 1A may be, just barely enough. if, the later, is the case, you might, then, go ahead, and, try...

@Pliable Pixels When you get your DB replacement you may want to bench test it first, a lot of us here did this before install. I wire nutted an old electrical cord to my trans. and plugged it in a wall sock. Just be sure you have a good WiFi signal at your bench. We are rooting for you...

Thank you for this info, good tip on battery disconnect. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

...be kapton, which has a yellowish color. The battery will likely fail at some point, so seeing a connector on it is so surprise. Those doing bench testing or bricking recovery that are annoyed by having to wait for the battery to discharge for a full power reset might try unplugging that...

Thanks David for the suggestion. In my case I have a 12 V 18 VA trafo, and i’m having no real difficulties. Chime works fine even if the IR led is on and the db1 chime itself is on ( which I dont like for other reasons, so I switched it off). Notifications are fast and almost always correct. I...
