    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, the only way I was able to get snapshot for my doorbell was a workaround that I used to get my RCA HSDB2 to live feed to my Alexa Show 8 units which was to use MotionEye. In Motioneye, it generated a snaphot url for me to use in my Home Automation Dashboard.

    I had to change mine to the 5ft setting to prevent triggering by moving vehicles.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I just received an Ezviz DB1 from Amazon and will be installing it at my in-laws tonight. I upgraded to V5.2.4 build 191211 so I can disable the outdoor bell sound for them. Tested Alexa skills and works flawlessly with my Echo Show 8(slight delay of ~4-5 seconds for live feed though). Now...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Only via the new Ezviz firmware V5.2.4 build 191211 if you have an Eviz unit.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I believe that is not going to work as the newer firmware is what enables the outdoor bell sound which would be removed once you re-flashed down to a lower revision ONVIF capable firmware. If the latest Ezviz FW 191211 has ONVIF, then it'll be possible to have both features but I don't think...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    At this time, that is correct as the only real benefit to Alexa or Google Home integration is being able to get live video feed from doorbell via voice command. In the future, if they ever allow the doorbell for "Routines" within Alexa, one can set up doorbell for home automation(play dog bark...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, once the doorbell is discoverable via Alexa Skills linked account, it's capable to be viewed on any Amazon device(unless there's another issue like your fire tablet). My Echo Shows and Fire Stick 4K can view all devices successfully enabled via Alexa Skills that show up in my Alexa App...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I contacted Hikvision support last week and they confirmed that their DS-HD1 is NOT Alexa capable even though they said their subsidiary Ezviz DB1 supports Alexa and Google. However, they did leave caveat that it may be possible for future support. RCA support confirmed that their HSDB2 is NOT...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for the verification test so no need to proceed forward unless you still wanted your fire tablet to show the doorbell. That proves that Ezviz/Hikvision cloud is blocking my RCA HSDB2 doorbell via serial number and probably also Nelly's variant(unless they are planning to market it as...

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's their new FW file as last modified date is early morning.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    When I downloaded the FW file this morning, I got following so assume it must be the newer 191211 FW as it's larger in size. 3.97 MB (4,167,344 bytes) Probably 191211 ? 3.96 MB (4,155,170 bytes) Firmware 190708 from Q4 2019

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The "outdoor bell sound" toggle switch is the key as that is what is missing in the prior FW build to manipulate the ring tone.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I only know for sure the gDMSS app works for listening to audio from the doorbell as I never attempted 2 way and I believe it might be the same for tinycam but never tried 2 way audio there either. I primarily use the Hik-Connect app for answering my doorbell video notifications as it notifies...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I believe it should work fine like any other RTSP/ONVIF cameras that you can view minus IVS capabilities. I occasionally use gDMSS android app with my Dahua 52xx-4ks2 NVR.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Give you voice control to primarily show the live feed on your Google hub, Echo Show, Fire tablet, etc. Maybe in the future, routines can enable more automation based on triggers or alerts... Google Home EZVIZ | Google Assistant Amazo Alexa Amazon.com: EZVIZ: Alexa Skills

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    If you can test the Alexa skills on your fire tablet to confirm if that works as marketed, that would round out the 101 section for LaView ONE Halo variant. Yeah, I misread one of the amazon review on the Laview one halo as that user mentioned "google home/assistant" compatible but now see...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The recent successful postings for Amazon Alexa and Google Home USING Ezviz DB1 doorbell model pretty much confirms my testing the past 6 months that it's being allowed for Ezviz doorbell hardware because they market it for Alexa and blocked for other variants like my RCA HSDB2 variant. The...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    That is correct as MotionEye doesn't record audio and probably won't ever be added as a feature. There were reports of a workaround to record audio but I didn't look into it as I already record with audio 24x7 via my NVR and can pull out my cell phone if I needed audio feed. I primarily use...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yes, I have MotionEye running on a RPi3 B+ so that my Android/Windows 10/Ipad tablets and Echo Show can view the security cameras locally via their preferred browsers. I used to use tinycam pro but switched to MotionEye back in 2018. https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I wonder if there is something in that modified RTSP stream that is including a unique HW identifier for RCA HSDB2A doorbell causing Hikvision's cloud to reject it for Alexa/Google skills enablement. I did see at least one user review on Amazon for the Laview Skills enabling the Laview ONE halo...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Don't buy the RCA variant if you want to receive newer firmware and good support. I have an RCA HSDB2A which is supposed to be identical to the Ezviz DB1 and LaView ONE Halo but can't get Alexa nor Google assistant to recognize it as a capable device.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Was your doorbell an Ezviz DB1or one of the doorbell variants? If so, could you do a quick test to see if you can enable Ezviz Skills in Alexa, perform a discovery, see if your doorbell shows up, and test "show xxx(doorbell camera name)? Only way for me on my Echo Show 8 to see live stream was...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    No, the doorbell doesn't even show up in list of linkable devices like my other ezviz compatible camera variants. Account linking is successful in both Google Home and Alexa as my other devices show up fine and I can say "show xxx" and view their live feed to that camera. Since the doorbell...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    These the same steps for Ezviz/Laview/Imou/Dmss based off Hikvision's instructions. I've been using this instruction successfully since Spring for my other Ezviz compatible cameras like Mini 360 Plus (Annke)variant, Mini O (Annke)variant, etc as they get discovered by Ezviz Alexa skills and...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    For me, I had never been able to get my RCA HSDB2A doorbell discovered by Google Home even though I can successfully linked the accounts between Ezviz and Google. I tried many times the past couple of months and Google Home can detect all my other Ezviz compatible cameras but not my RCA...
