    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I received my new RCA and noticed it comes with FW 180122 preinstalled on it. It didn't have the subscriber not home message. So far pretty good so may not need to upgrade to 180515 at this time.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Great job on the manual option to disable IR illumination glare and probably save on power consumption within doorbell unit as well.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Yes, it was bricked. No lights whatsoever after it got to 80% upgrade bar and rebooted. Couldn't ping it, couldn't get to web GUI even after holding reset button for a minute.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I did see those jumpers when I opened up mine to check capacitor/etc when mine bricked from upgrading FW. Which jumper(s) did you disconnect? JP14 or JP15 or both jumpers in that picture. Also, was there a change log for the latest RCA Security app? I haven't used the RCA app since initial...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Interesting observation on the power consumption with 180515 and wondering if that was what bricked my RCA variant doorbell unit. May hold off on upgrading to 180515 when I get my new unit delivered next week until some positive results are reported by other testers. When I called Nelly...

    RCA Video Doorbell

    Fyi, my RCA Hik doorbell variant died on me during my lastest FW upgrade to build 180515. It was working solidly for at least 5 months but I wanted the new FW which removed the "subscriber is not available" voice message in the latest FW version. Somehow the FW upgrade bricked my unit where it...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Yeah, it is dead. I checked with voltmeter last night and has 19V to the doorbell. Resetting breaker this morning did nothing. My chime dings when I disconnect and reconnect the RCA(hikvision) doorbell so continuity seems to be fine. Also, took it off to test on my bench with a different...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    I tried the Build 180515 on my RCA variant and it seemed to brick it. It got to almost 80% upgrade and then popped up failure message. No power/lights on unit and holding the reset button does nothing. Any others have any similar issue on their doorbell?

    I guess still no luck from anyone on getting a copy of the elusive Laview FW 180419 and its changelog. Wonder if there is there a FW dump tool for the video doorbell to extract or copy similiar to the Hik brickfix...

    DS-KB6003-WIP Firmware

    I'm also curious if you have the most recent Hikvision FW as noted on their Amazon purchased LaView(180419) that another user got recently that is higher version number than the LTS(171219) that I'm currently using.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I think my problem is a little different. Since everything is working fine for a couple of months now with the other rebranded apps, I don't want to remove cameras and reinstall within Hik-Connect app. Previously=> I can use same primary credential for both Hik-Connect and the other...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Yes, I did that a week ago. The user account is fine as I still use it with all the other apps. It's that the account user id is not being accepted by the Hik-Connect backend service. I also have a separate Hik-Connect user account which can still see my cameras from the other apps just fine...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Is anyone still successful using their LTS/RCA/LaView/Nelly/EzViz account to log into Hik-Connect app? Mine broke a few weeks ago as it kept saying it was wrong userid/phone number so seems like Hik disable backend cloud integration or something as the same account could log into all the apps...

    Any release notes on the new FW on what changes or features added to this newer build? I'd like to get a copy of it and test on my RCA brand variant.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Yep, I had to re-add and use the below for my RCA rebranded Hik doorbell camera back in March to get it to stay online and record 24/7 on my Dahua 5216-4KS2 series NVR. I also used the NVR web gui to set the detection area as it's blocks are smaller than setting it via hik-connect app for...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I'm experiencing same issues with hik-connect app on ios as well starting yesterday afternoon. However, I still get notifications from the hik-connect app but can't login to view anything as it throws the can't find my username/account. I had to reinstall the EZVIZ app to get access to my RCA...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    I'm still on the LTS FW version 171219. Hoping there will more FW releases in 2018 for this video doorbell.

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    I have the RCA rebrand version of this Hik video doorbell and can say it's well worth it at the lower price I paid. Initially it was not great experience(wifi disconnects after a couple seconds during video 2-way conversation after doorbell push, random reboots every couple days, etc) until I...

    DIY Wedge for Hikvision Wi-fi Video Doorbell from composite shims

    Happy that the angle kits for ring pro worked for you. For my setup, spouse didn't like the 1/4" gap with ring pro kits. If I needed to use angle adapters, I would fabricate some out of trimmed down plastic door stoppers to get a perfect fit base. Cheers.

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    It's not on battery power because your existing bell and chime should be connected to a transformer providing 16V. If you connect your video doorbell and see issues with power then you might need to upgrade to 16V 30VA transformer if you have multiple chimes throughout house or a new 16V 10VA...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I've heard that it's 50/50 on getting that to work properly so haven't tried it with my spare door/window contacts. I'm only looking at this SmartThings alert alternative if Hikvision never enables email notifications in their firmware for the doorbell. I'd like the entire family to be alerted...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    That was the first thing I did when I researched my RCA variant by using Wi-Fi analyzer on my android tablet to verify signal strength. My doorbell location is between -40dBm to -45dBm and it works fine with the latest firmware version.

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Interesting results as my RCA did that disconnect/abnormal shutdown until the latest LTS 171219 was applied. Knock on wood, it has only disconnect once in the past 3-4days and I believe that was attributed to my Panasonic microwave thawing something for like 15mins. Double check your voltage...

    Dahua Video Doorbell DB10

    Yes, 3 days is pathetic for full battery depletion so unless Dahua modifies the rear usb to allow for wired power from door bell transformer , it'll be an expensive doorstop. That is even before not having any RTSP streams built-in, poorly featured firmware, etc.... It took Hikvision numerous...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    I believe this was the Hikvision build 20170731 firmware that supported QR code scanning. Format microsd card as FAT32, place firmware file on root and restart doorbell to upgrade firmware.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I enabled the Power Booster setting and let it run for a day and didn't see any differences either but I didn't have any hum eliminating kit attached to my two chimes getting ~19V from transformer. With your test results, I wonder if it has to be the actual Hikvision "Power Booster" board that...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I have my RCA doorbell variant recording fine to my Dahua 52xx-4KS2 NVR via ONVIF. Since it's not a Hikvision NVR, I can't set up the normal motion/IVS email notifications like I preferred to do with my other cameras. Which leads to why I submitted my feedback #4 above "utilize our Hik-Connect...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I submitted my feedback via the Hik app this week for the following in case someone is listening over there: 1. option to disable IR 2. option to disable the subscriber is not available message 2a. if user can't disable voice messages, then allow us to substitute with custom mp3 file from...
