Totally agree, Personally I think the call your phone feature / approach they have implemented is not very well thought through. Earlier app versions simply notified you via an alert when the doorbell was pressed apparently. I would much prefer this. Hikvision really do need to improve their...

great review! Am I right in saying this new DB supports H265 whereas the original DB1 was just h264? Thinking this might help file sizes and also help me as I have very slow upload speed at home. Might make quality of answering doorbell presses a bit more stable(video and sound)?

Hi All, A bit of a random one, I have a poor internet connection (and poor upload speeds) at home which means I struggle to get a stable connection / viewing viewing experience when speaking to people at the door (sound in particular can be choppy). Its an Ezviz DB with stock firmware. If I...

Hmm I have an eziviz DB1 variant also, but the latest version according to the app is build 200220. Your 200904 build seems newer - ,maybe not available in the UK? I tried loading up the app whilst connected to a USA VPN but still no newer version offered. Also, I could not find a firmware...

Hi All, Crazy idea to be get an alert on the doorbell press into your internet of things world (no easy options for me as I don't have it wired up to a chime). I saw this YouTube video HERE on the Flic 2 button. How about I just stick this flic over the EZVIZ doorbell button lol?? In theory I...

Hi All, Loving this monster thread – a great read! I thought I would share my experience of this EZVIZ DB1 doorbell (UK). I replaced my Ring doorbell with this mainly because I have a poor internet connection so need to record locally. I also have a Hikvision NVR so wanted to record to this...

Thanks again Silencery. I stumbled across THIS Nelly's video that addresses my exact question (US rather than UK though). Although they do use a very different type of mains supply (plug-in) to my amazon purchase. By way of an update - I have gone for it and installed the doorbell using the...

Thanks for the quick reply. I might explore the POE option if I can’t find an answer to my question. can I ask what your cable setup is on this please? I have a spare Poe switch / injector and SF one Ethernet cable. How do you adapter the connector / cable to wire up to the DB? Also did you...

Hi All, Just picked up an ezviz DB1 (live in the UK). I have managed to get about half way through the mega thread on these doorbells (inc page 101). I live in a new build house in the UK so there is no existing doorbell wiring (builders here don't include them any more). My plan was to simply...

Update - still happening even though I added my own min and max boxes. I am going to try switching to H264 as an experiment, I worry 265 is too processor intensive and so causes this issue. Will let you know if that works. Failing that - will try an I series NVR rather than K. Thanks

As I have not set a min and max before and its not clear what the defaults are - I have just drawn the biggest possible box for max and a tiny square for min. Will see how this goes. On a side question - do we think an I series NVR would do a better job than the K series on this? Thinking...

just logged into the camera to check this (rather than the NVR). I have not played with these settings - do they look OK? Thanks again Dan

thanks for the quick replies. Settings in pic thanks again Dan

Hi All I am still a newbie at much of this but have been fine tuning my settings as best I can. I recently noticed that my line crossing detection was not being tripped for some vehicles at night. I would say it works 75% of the time at night and is perfect in the day time. Check out the video...

I tested my ColorVu with both the external light on and off. I don't need the light on at all as still get great video quality - checkout my comparison vid HERE if you would like to see how impressive it really is!

Hi venturis, I am trying to solve the same issue here and would like to attempt your resolution of using the app to access both the NVR (continuous recording) and then the same camera directly (which is motion recording only). My Hikvision camera has an SD card installed as well as being hooked...
