    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I looked into BI5 and found it now supports sub streams for significantly less CPU bandwidth. BI5 uses the lower quality sub stream for motion detection. I upgraded and using ONVIF for all of my cameras now, including the HSDB2. I'll see if this helps my video issues with BI, and report back.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I am still on BI4. I have not made the move to BI5. AFAIK BI4 does not support ONVIF. The UPS acting up is Belkin ... only non-APC I have. I have an APC-1500 arriving Wednesday. I've had a few APC fail after 15+ years, but they seem to hold up well, and have been through 3-4 battery...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I setup my 2nd HSDB2 today. It is RCA branded. I remember why I wanted to use newer/different FW to remove the annoying "RCA" overlay and the video greens look like yellow. The latest Hikvision FW is not perfect, but better than stock RCA. I installed this one at the gate, approx 400 ft from...

    I was out all day and just saw the posts. Glad you were able to get it running again. As many on here say ... don't update firmware unless there is a need. Based on my limited experience and posts here, this doorbell seems finicky abut FW updates, especially when you are changing FW...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I bought the unit in early Dec 2019. I installed between Christmas and New Years. I bricked it with the Nelly's FW in Jan or Feb, but revived with a trick I found on here. The video was so yellow, but after thinking I totally hosed the doorbell with the Nelly's FW I put up with the bad video...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I found moving the RCA doorbell to 2.4GHz greatly reduced the disconnects. The stats in BlueIris show the disconnects significantly less vs. a "gut feel", so I too would recommend forcing 2.4Ghz if you can. I did install a mesh AP literally on the other side of a brick wall from the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have an RCA branded doorbell with the latest Hikvision FW (200321). I use Unifi networking, and BlueIris NVR. The Android app is Guarding Vision. I am not recording anything locally. I am having a similar issue where Unifi shows the doorbell connected and Guarding Vision works just fine...
