    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    This morning my Ezviz db-1 informed me that there was an new firmware available. It is described as "In this exciting update, the intelligent linkage between doorbell and chime is not restricted by the type setting of chime". Apparently its an exciting update, what ever that means. What would...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It looks to me that you connected the relay-coil in parallel to the doorbell. This means it always gets powered (and closes the contact) until the doorbell shortens it. You should connect the relay in series with the doorbell. Look at the connection diagram on page 101. Replace the chime with...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    That's not entirely far fetched. Beside my Ezviz doorbel i have a Hikvision security camera (Hikvision=Ezviz). This camera works, like the doorbell, with a verification code. The standard verification code is a 6 character string. But in configuration of the camera the standard code can be...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Nicely done. Thanks for sharing and documenting. And you even didn't have to glue the button back? Is some kind of silicon paste used? Do you think that the task would be even easier by warming it up?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I wish you much succes and hope you can pull this off. I also looked at this possibilty some weeks ago but chickened out. If you take on this challenge please take pictures of the steps you take so that others can learn. Maybe a tip is to practice on the bronze faceplate as nobody seems to use...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Just out of curiosity: What value did you choose for the I frame interval and why? Mine is currently at 60 which i guess was the default.

    The flashing can be configured: I noticed the OSD string of Joshwah ends on "(S)". My OSD string ends on "(W)". Does anybody know whats that about?

    There are tons of checksum utillities, see: 10 Tools to Verify File Integrity Using MD5 and SHA1 Hashes • Raymond.CC I myself use the free archiver 7-zip. A checksum utillity comes with it.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    As far as i can see the setting for the mechanical chime (a short with a fixed duration) was only a special case of the setting for the electronic chime (a short with a variable duration setting between 1-5 sec). So the chime type setting did not add anything special and will not be missed. As...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    As it looks like iOS is 2 software revisions ahead of Android (V4.1.0.0117 updated 17/01/2010). However, looking through the "Whats new"; iOS V4.1.0. seems to be identical to iOS V4.1.1. Both iOS versions seem to match Android V4.1.0.0117. Weird. 4.1.2 Feb 24, 2020 Support...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    OK, this is what you mean. The db1, as a stand alone device, can only communicate to the outside world through wifi and the red/blue ring (also potentially through a connected doorbell but this outside the control of the db1). When wifi is down/not connected/not available it can only signal...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The outer dimensions were dictated by the imprint of my old doorbell (diameter=60 mm). As i wanted a more or less uniform edge around the db1 i choose 145 mmx60 mm as outer dimensions. But you can go really nuts and choose every shape you like. The 2 mounting holes are 89 mm apart (think this is...

    Did you expect a different behaviour? This sounds like standard behaviour for a wifi client.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It's 1 mm 316 stainless steel cold-rolled (is that translated correctly?) with a 2B finish. The metal is hard (which should prevent scratches) and is corrosion resistant (no rust). BTW: At first i was afraid that the metal would influence wifi to much. As it turned out the signal strength only...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sometime ago i informed if anybody knew of some sort of backplate for the db1 to hide the imprint of the old doorbell. Apparently this is not a thing. So, i took some measurements and found myself a machine shop over the internet which made this for me: Today i got around to mount it to the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    ... or make the face plates and push buttons interchangeable (like a white push button on a black face plate ) I'm not brave enough to try this (yet) but it seems that the push button is only lightly attached to the face plate. Removing without to much damage should be easy/possible, Attaching...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    No, i don't have a 3d-printer. As the DB1 is mounted on a flat stone surface, I was thinking of making a brushed stainless steel backplate (1 mm thick) which is about 5 mm wider and taller than the standard backplate. This should be enough to cover the imprint of the old doorbell and give a...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I mounted my DB1 on the same position as my old dorbell. As the DB1 is smaller (46 mm) than my old doorbell (diameter ca. 60 mm), its imprint can be seen behind the DB1 (which bothers me). For the Nest doorbell there are several wall back plates available which would cover the imprint. This link...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I can't confirm the behavior you describe. My Ezviz DB1 (on Ezviz app) records PIR events on the SD. These events can be recalled under "video history" and are marked as orange bars on the timeline (see picture). I haven't tested what happens when the SD card is removed or is...

    Installation issue with Ezviz DB1

    I think you can't use this combination of doorbell/transformer as it was intended. According to the EZVIZ doc. the DB1 needs 12 V AC at a minimum. Your doorbell/transformer only supplies 8 V AC. As the doc. suggest you need a separate transformer (12 to 24 VAC) to power the DB1, then investigate...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'm using this relay (see picture: Finder 39.11.0.012.x060, in parallel with the powerkit). The relay and DB1 are powered over a 12 V AC (15VA) transformer. The relay activates a 433 MHz transmitter: ACDB-7000BC Draadloze Deurbel Set | KlikAanKlikUit. I use RFLink and Domoticz to pick up the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hoi Landgenoot, Your setup looks like the one i like to achieve. Even the KAKU is the same as i intend to use. My relay did arrive today and hooked it up. As you can see on the image i connected the db1 on the transformer 12 V and my relay is also 12 V AC. It looks like it works like intended...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Great information. I guess the IC dubbed DB1 is the 851/MB65 diode rectifier? Where is the L830CP located; how does it look like? I did my measurements with the powerkit in series with the DB1 with nothing attached to it, so not loaded. I measured over the powerkit. As it looks like i will get...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Well looking at the internals of the powerkit (see post 1425 on page 72, thanks to the author) is see a: * LM193 (a voltage comperator) with some diodes and resistors * LCB710 (which is a solid state relais) * and a IC dubbed DB1 which i can't make out the writing (maybe a rectifier bridge?)...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Maybe the following information is useful to some. I was thinking of purchasing a smart doorbell for some time now. It had to fulfill two basic requirements. 1. I should have maximum control over the doorbell, especially its data, The db-1 ticks all these boxes for me in that i can store its...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Received the Ezviz DB1 last week and am testing it. It updated a few times and is now on 5.2.4 build 191211. I'm not certain but there is now a switch "Answer doorbell call" and "Outdoor bell sound".
