    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I use the SAGE doorbell sensor (zigbee) without any "traditional" chime. It intercepts the push of the button and sends a message to my home automation system. The automation system chimes my Aeotec 6 Siren (z-wave) and announces there's someone at the external gate on all the echo devices of...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    You did read the 101 and the recent posts about the fact that sometimes the DB1 resets the chime option to disabled in its settings, right? Unfortunately in latest ezviz mobile app you can access the options only during setup, once it's setup you can't configure (enable/disable/select chime...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Probably my step-by-step guide in signature could be improved because it's made for people who already know the basics (batchconfig, AP names and authcode, etc.). If you want, you could start from my list and integrate it with all the missing steps that I thought were pretty clear, but not for...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The firmware you want to stick with (EZVIZ) does not offer ONVIF functionality. There's no workaround if in the source code the functionality is missing or disabled.

    Not on the side, maybe on the button, when my 2 daughters come back from school and ring the bell. I don't know. Probably it's comfortable in there, very hot and dark. :)

    I have no idea, I didn't open it, but I guess it's very dark and warm in there. :)

    I have the same issue here, but not every year. Some years I need to use chemical stuff to get rid of them, they are literally everywhere and sometimes they get into the house as soon as my children leave some candies or sweet stuff on the floor. :)

    Ants invaded my DB1. There was a tiny crack on the side of the backplate. I didn't unscrew it to check what was inside. Just used some chemical stuff and then sealed it with silicone. :)

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    When you redid the app's chime configuration did it work? If so, you should investigate a software issue, not a hw one. What firmware are you using, what model of camera? How did you do the fw upgrade? Did you factory reset after the upgrade? You and @servicekrunk should monitor voltages in...

    I reboot it every 4 days. I found that it keeps it healthy. Reboot takes less than a minute.

    1. yes, check this post. 2. that depends on the os of your mobile and the mobile app you're using. It seems that problem is only on iphone, on Android + Guarding Vision (and EZVIZ app I think), when it rings you see a preview of the visitor, so you can decide to answer or not.

    I read host='doorbellip' in the error output. You did put the IP or hostname of your doorbell right? :) Works fine here, tried it on 2 linux servers, 1 physical 1 virtual. Make sure you put the correct IP/hostname, user and authcode/password. Also make sure the wdl directory is ok.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I took a shot at it, because many months ago the same question arose, and I pointed out that in ONVIF specs, in the DeviceMgmt service, there's the SystemReboot command. So I needed to find a linux library/client that implemented those APIs on my Ubuntu server. I checked with Python first, and...

    Did you try the chime by itself, shortening the wires? Does it sound?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So it's like it's always over powered? Did you measure voltages on the line with a multimeter?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'm curious about this. If I had to bet, I'd say it's not the power-kit. You already did all the troubleshooting right? Chime enabled in the options? Power is ok? Probably I already asked you, I'm sorry in that case...

    How are you monitoring the temperature? I don't know if 55° is too much, it depends on the product specs, anyhow, it has ALWAYS been hot since I use it, even when it's cold outside. A reboot every 3-4 days doesn't hurt. :)

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Glad you solved the problem. We will write the tip in the troubleshooting section of 101. It's a recurring issue, due to Ezviz deciding to remove the option from the app after the initial setup of the doorbell. What a stupid thing to do. The other problem is that we still don't understand why...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Did you read just (at least) the last 2-3 pages of this thread? Or maybe the 101 document linked in my signature? That would be my suggestion. :) When you configured the DB1 with ezviz app, did you configure the chime? mechanical or electonic chime? the problem is that after the first config...

    Nope, it's the same. If it's enabled in HV app, you'll find it enabled also in GV app. Tried disabling the option and then re-enabling it? Does the chime work if you shorten the wires? First check if the chime's working by itself.

    Install Guarding Vision and in the options you'll find that the chime is disabled. It happens. Re-enable it and you will solve the issue.

    I've always used a 24V transformer, no issues. But I reboot the camera every X days.
