I wonder if Ezviz changed something on the backend to affect their newer DB1 units. Maybe something similar to them locking out RCA units from tapping into their Alexa gateway because RCA probably didn't want to share that cost...

Ditto, my chime is still working fine since January on my RCA HSDB2 doorbell variant running firmware=> Ezviz V5.2.4 build 191211. Also, my sage doorbell sensor has been working fine with my SmartThings home automation system for past couple of months.

They did the same thing almost 2yrs ago unlinking backend accounts between RCA/LaView and Hikvision/Ezviz/etc. I think it has to do more with extra costs by preventing folks from traversing their Cloud Services gateway to Amazon Alexa/Google for free. My $0.02

I never found a way to get it working as Honeywell locked it down to just their own cameras it seems like...

I also still use one of the older versions of iVMS-4200 for management of Doorbell.

Awesome, glad my workaround resolved it for you. I ran into your situation when the Apps were upgraded to remove Chime selection post initial setup and I had to figure this workaround out by trial and error. It was hard going at first because I only deleted from my primary Hikvision App/Cloud...

Have you tried removing the doorbell from you Ezviz App after resetting it? It should allow you to select chime mode after you delete the doorbell from your cloud account and re-add it in any of the apps.

Yep, I've been running SmartThings with my Vista-20P system for 3.5yrs now using the Honeywell Vista 20P DTH via Envisalink EVL-4 IP module and use HousePanel for Home Automation dashboard as it allows to display RTSP streams for my HSDB2 doorbell and my other Dahua security cameras. I went...

Here's the US download for Hikvision's HS-HD1 FW version 5.2.4 200321 file that I pulled down for future use whenever I have the itch to upgrade from build 191211. https://us.hikvision.com/sites/default/files/firmware/ds-hd1_5.2.4_200321_na.zip

I couldn't get it to work with my Vista-20P system when I tried back 1.5yrs ago. I can't even get it to show live feed on my two Tuxedo Touch TUXWIFIW touchscreens.

I haven't used Ezviz app in a while since I record to my NVR. In the past when I was traveling and have issues with VPN back to my NVR, I would use Ezviz app to share by 1) select PIR recorded video you are interested in 2) click on Playback button 3) click on Video Camera icon to save the...

For folks running Samsung SmartThings eco, here's example of my dashboard on wall mounted Home Automation Touchscreen Tablets(ipad, win10, android) at entry/exit doors and Echo Show 8 devices in my house. I use the customizable HousePanel dashboard. First one is main page with doorbell live...

Never tried that as I don't record to my Tinycam and only record to my NVR for all my security cameras and doorbell. If you experience latency, then it may be your network as I can view DB recordings even with the other 2-3 streams present.

I almost went without wifi doorbell a couple years ago as well but glad I stuck with it to complement my front porch POE camera. Having a doorbell camera that is closer to face height view and 2-way video answering worked well for WAF. Also, recordings to it's 128GB microSD has been helpful in...

Totally agree! In early 2019, I was happy to get just one 24x7 recording to NVR plus one 24x7 RTSP to my home automation tablets before hitting perf issues when kids were playing Xbox/streaming/etc. After upgrading my Asus AC86U to AX88U router in late 2019 and some networking tweaks, I'm...

I've been running Ezviz FW V5.2.4 build 191211 since beginning of this year but had tested on several FW versions(LaView/Hikvision/RCA) throughout 2019. More recent FW versions helped but also believe that optimized networking environment was more important in my mind.

As an fyi, I have been running my RCA HSDB2 variant fine for ~1.5yrs now with (1) 24x7 recording to my Dahua NVR, (2) 24x7 RTSP streaming to my MotionEye rPi3 machine for viewing on all my wall mounted home automation tablets, (3) occasional TinyCam live view, (4) occasional gDMSS live view, (5)...

It's been a while so checking in to see how many RCA HSDB2 users have upgraded their FW to latest V5.2.4 build 200321 from 191211(or lower) since March. Since I've been getting the nagging Hik-Connect and Ezviz app compat expiring Aug 1st message on my Galaxy phone, I might need to upgrade...

I've had this occur twice now in 2020 so I think it is something in the newer firmware as it never happened when running the older firmware versions from 2019. The other day I experienced another brief power outage in my neighborhood and my doorbell wouldn't come back as online and remained as...

Nice job with the 3d printed mount!

YW and let us know how it turned out for you.

I have a RCA HSDB2 doorbell and just reused the plastic shim wall mount I made for the 1st version of the RCA doorbell. I didn't want to order vinyl block as I wanted small compact footprint as possible...

Since I was away for a while or may have just missed when they allowed the option within notification to not push. Also, decided to upgrade to Hik-Connect app to v4.3 and I do like the more modern UI even though there's not much benefit for the doorbell compared to other cameras from Hikvision.

Yep, been there done that with linux disk tools as well as all of my windows disk tools before I contacted Ezviz tech support. I'm sure once there are a lot of customer requests for 256GB support for longer timeframe before videos get overwritten they'll update firmware to support the 256GB cards.

I went with the RCA variant instead of Ring or Nest doorbells as it fits our budget until there is a POE/ONVIF/Alexa/Google doorbell that is under $100 with no monthly fees in the future. It plays well with my NVR5216-4KS2 NVR via ONVIF and/or RTSP. Also recently swapped out my in-laws old...

Yep. I even tried formatting via IMVS and other Ezviz tools to see if it would work but same results. Fortunately for me, my primary recording is done on my NVR so the 128GB is good enough for now on the doorbell until firmware allows it in the future.

Don't trust them. I tried a 256GB Samung EVO a couple months ago and didn't work for my RCA doorbell variant. I contacted Ezviz support back then who said it should work even though I know that my 256GB card works in their Ezviz Orion camera. It's probably firmware that needs to be updated so...

Thanks. I'll stay at current rev for now as there is nothing new to benefit from.

I haven't been checking this board for a couple weeks but has anyone upgraded to the newest Hik-Connect app v4.3? I'm still on v3.11.1.1023 and things work fine. You have to go to Hikvision App Store site to download the Hik-Connect.apk file.

I ran into this issue back in February trying to use my new Samsung 256GB EVO card in my RCA doorbell replacing the existing 128GB card. I could never get it to recognize the full 256GB and it kept trying to initialize into two 128GB partitions. I then contacted Ezviz support who claims it...
