    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Thanks for the heads up! Doorbird was deliberately left off the list since the $300+ price point was far too high, especially given its low video performance (720p) and complaints about reliability. However, it does meet most of the other requirements. Dbell is an interesting one. Will have to...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    @David L Great suggestions. Thanks! It seems we are trying to accomplish the same thing in keeping all this detailed information organized. Thanks for your great 101 write-up on the Hikvision variants. I deliberately wrote the resolution that way to indicate the camera only shows portrait mode...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    For whatever reason, it's not written in the spec, but it does run off DC. I'm running two of them off POE cat5 wiring. One powered from a POE hub, one powered from a dedicated DC power supply

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Oh, but they DO run on DC. Mine is running off a 24v DC power supply. I'm using a relay to sense doorbell presses and sending the signal to home automation

    Just throwing out some ideas: IR lighting for low light conditions. RFID authentication SIP client Onboard flamethrower :)

    Hikvision DS-HD1 Doorbell Cam

    Uh... There is a HUGE thread on this here. http://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-rca-hsdb2a-3mp-doorbell-ip-camera.31601/ Short answer: yes it works with BI

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    After taking all the steps I wrote in that other post, you can verify ONVIF events are working by looking at the blueiris alert viewer. You should see a new event every time the PIR detects motion. Here's a screencap from BI: Finally, you also have to setup the trigger in the camera trigger...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hrm, very good question! I'm afraid I can't answer that as I'm running mine over POE with buck converters, so both doorbells are operated by DC power, not traditional transformer. Hopefully someone else can chime in with their feedback?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have both laview and ezviz. If anything, I like the ezviz a little more since it came packaged with 3 faceplate options, all else being equal. Killer deal!

    Wow, on sale for $89?? That's an awesome price. Must be a special for black friday. Usually hovers around $150.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    This is a good point and highlights an important tradeoff for the SD-M5 compared to the Hikvision and Dahua doorbells. The affordability of the SD-M5 is great, but the higher price of the other two models also means they come with good quality exposure correction like HLC, WDR, and BLC to help...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Good to know! If you have time, and if you can share a clip, I'd love to take a look at a video to compare performance. If you can find a way to get it to me, I can link it on the first post.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    For the laview version, the six digit password printed on the sticker on the doorbell worked for me. Username was admin.

    Oh, BI hardware acceleration doesn't work for the RTSP stream? Interesting. That's similar to the wyze cams.

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I have not tested the original DS-KB6003-WIP (Hikvision DB1) in person, but at least based on anecdotal feedback I have seen here, the new hikvision is better in reliability, connectivity, and image quality. Hopefully someone with direct experience can chime in. I will at least say, compared...

    Does anyone know if the onboard IR can be disabled? The area I would use this already has IR coverage. Thanks!

    IIRC, timestamp can be removed in laview app. No one yet has found a way to disable the local chime on the doorbell

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Bummer. Too bad it doesn't work the same way. Oh, I should mention (forgot about this important detail). On the dahua and laview doorbells, the voltage drop only occurs when you change the configuration in their respective apps to "mechanical" chime. Does the SD-M5 have a similar setting...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Fair points. I don't have the SD-M5, so I can't say either way. I agree isolating the pushbutton is reliable (the other methods are good too), but I'm offering an alternative method to test for people who don't want to open up the case. It's easy enough to verify while avoiding any destructive...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    If you're not as comfortable with solder, try this method instead. With the doorbell powered on, try pushing the doorbell button and measure the voltage drop. Most traditional doorbells operate by creating a dead short on the wires and the video doorbells seem to emulate this. If your voltage...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The doorbell button creates a dead short when pressed. This means you can wire in a relay to trigger your home automation system. More info in my doorbell comparison thread here. Check the first post under advanced hacks: Sep 2019 - Current State of RTSP Doorbells

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I don't use any apps except for BI, so I'm afraid I can't speak to that part. It sounds like the different accounts probably have different permissions. You might be better off signing her in with your account. For the pixelated video, the DB11 factory setting is using a lower bitrate to...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Did you set hardware accelerated decode to "no?" The settings in the screenshot above have it on ("default" = on for most systems)

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Yes, the Android BI app supported 2way audio out of the box for me. The max fps I tried on the DB11 was 20. It's possible it might go higher if you configure with configtooI, but I never tried

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    All three of the cameras here support RTSP, some also support ONVIF. There were a ton of new doorbells announced at CES this year, but they are pretty much all cloud based with no local streaming support

    Anyone tried adjusting focus on Dahua fixed-lens turrets?

    Yeah, I was replying quickly earlier, so I failed to mention you probably want to try other adjustments first. I'm all for squeezing out maximum performance from all my equipment, but refocusing is really arduous, and better results aren't guaranteed. Depending on your circumstances, you may...
