EZVIZ DB1 - Firmware Upgrade
So question, this will work if the CAM/Doorbell can work in AP mode correct? Not sure David. By default the camera boots in AP mode. It probably does not do a TFTP request on boot so you would more than likely need to JTAG the camera if the firmware is trashed. The other way is to put the... -

@idefix_7 Personally here relating to bricking stuff is to JTAG it which means taking it apart and looking for the serial pins on it. Been doing this with Tasmota stuff and historically did it with first IP cameras offered..a few years back... As David mentions above a solid red may be that... -

Any audio/speaker techs here? Issue with Active Subwoofer
In the picture with the three caps the middle one (may be the angle of the photo) appears to bulge a bit. Another thing you can try is while keeping the subwoofer open. Turn it on and wait for the buzz then spray the power transistors / IC Amplifier with air to cool it off and see if the... -

Ring Access?
I can see two INC branded IP cameras in a IP ISpy Connect database. No mention of Hikvision. The software here ==> is proprietary. 1 - INC-MP30VC-280 2 - MP20V It could be a Ring based chipset on the camera in question. Personally if it does what you want it to do then it should be OK... -
