    Z12E through glass without IR?

    Does the camera have to be set for IR ON for this to work? If so, won't work, because glass, unless i get in there and disable the lights. It's only about 75 feet. should work, range wise.

    Z12E through glass without IR?

    I already own one and I've been playing around with the Z12E with other people's setting suggestions without IR....so far it's pretty black. I just had a thought: what about a separate IR illuminator outside in front of the camera?

    Z12E through glass without IR?

    Hello: I am wondering if it's even possible to get a plate through glass without IR. I live in a cul de sac with plenty of street light at night, but my placement is limited. I am trying from my front window so the use of IR is impossible because of the reflection. Any thoughts on possible...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I tried this for all of 5 minutes. If it slows down to 5fps, it's useless. Bought the Dahua instead. Double the price but at least it doesn't have ridiculous frame rate.

    It is when 5 of them are the same, and all pointing out just the front of the house. lol I had a ring but the picture deteriorated and of course, no BI. Maybe it was the mirror all along! lol

    I KNEW IT! lol Like I said, I'm waiting on a new Extender. I think your I-frame interval solved it though...! Seems to be good now on 2.4

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have about 5 camera on SSS and 16 on BI. I believe in redundancy when it comes to surveillance lol I just use SSS as a backup, I find BI easier to browse, playback, etc. Pictures? You want me to WORK now..? Aw, come on man...! lol Take my word, it's a stupid setup.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I don't have any choice. I'm not going to remodel my front entrance for a $130 doorbell, believe me. lol DON'T WORRY, I won't try your guide without someone holding my hand. It's martian to me anyways.:confused: Good tip about synology giving two free licenses though. Thanks, but I used up my...

    There's a steel door AND a mirror between the repeater and the router. I get 100 signal but only on a 2.4 wifi network. If these had cat-6 connections instead of wifi, It'd be way better lol

    Dude, I'm so technically stupid, I don't even UNDERSTAND part of your guide. lol I see we have the same ezviz, though

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, that would explain it. lol Also it's behind a steel door and a large mirror on my front closet. An electrician told me mirrors block signals? Not at all surprised if a steel door does, too!

    So far so good on your I-frame settings...lets give it a day and see. Not fixing what isn't broke is plan A1. lol Boning my firmware is plan Z-99. haha

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I might have had the I-frame interval set too high. i knocked it down from 60 to 25 as per your settings...lets see if BI can keep up with that at 30fps...

    I'm using BI5. I read your instructions for putting on hikvision firmware but I found it kind of scary. I like the idea of onvif, and I may take the plunge if BI keeps crapping out the db all the time on the higher settings, but I'm kind of scared and a little inexperienced, as we have seen.

    Too bad I didn't know that last year. I could have dropped some off in Bari, last August. Was there for 10 days...!

    Agreed. What makes it truly excellent is this forum and all the helpful members. I believe that's what separates it from other doorbells.

    You guys have some pretty awesome syrups yourselves...but probably not a good maple one in comparison, agreed. lol I especially like some of your limoncello...excellent.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    OK! Just put in my mechanical chime....and it works. Someone might want to make a note, the NUTONE LA600WH IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the ezviz db1, despite what ezviz claims. However, the Heath Zenith SL-27102-02 is fully compatible. Thanks to all that contributed with suggestions, especially...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I tried everything to set it to the highest, but kept dropping out of BI. Not sure why. I suspect my connection. Only real explanation. 15fps seems to be the sweet spot. Waiting on another range extender to see if that will improve it. I also have a synology, but I'm debating on whether I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: I don't deal with Ezviz any more. I called them last week concerning the chime for the DB1 and they didn't even know what I was talking about, even after giving them their OWN WEBPAGE on the chime. I can't comprehend such incompetence so I'd rather not. Besides, the other poster tried that...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: I'm using a 24V 40VA transformer. The chime is a Nutone LA600WH. When I put a multimeter on it, WITH the power kit, it shows no voltage. When I take the power kit OFF, it shows voltage, but the chime continuously chimes. The Chime DOES work by itself. Faulty power-kit? I found someone else...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: It goes deeper than that, I'm afraid. I had the same problem another user had, not being able to use remote configuration on Guarding vision. It just says connection failed. Then, the chime worked for about 3 minutes, but only if I DISCONNECTED the ezviz power doo-dad. Then it stopped...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sorry to be a nuisance here: Does anyone know how to ENABLE a frickin chime on the ezviz DB1..? I don't see any option in the app, or guarding vision on iphone? I just added a chime and there is no power to it. I'm sure it's wired correctly and my transformer is 24/40, so I'm not sure whats...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, I got exactly nowhere with them. I actually talked to someone on the phone and they had no idea what I was talking about, despite the chime being on their website. I even gave her the website address to verify and she had no idea it existed and had no record of it. I felt like I was in a...
