You're probably right about the real reason for EZVIZ not supporting ONVIF I once bricked an RCA doorbell trying to put Hik firmware on it using those tools, but I don't doubt may/most rebranded Hik products will accept it. I was able to use EZVIZ Studio for WIndows (which has a version of...

I sent the same thing to bp2008, and he saw it.

You may already know, Hikvison has a tool call SADP for Windows which give you that kind of config access to cameras directly.

I'm actually OK with that view as well, and plan to keep using it because it'c consistent with the brand. Maybe it's just EZVIZ that disables ONVIF, I never tried the Hikvision version. They are the ones that told me it's for security reasons. The EZVIZ cams I'm using also don't have HTTP, I...

They show up for me.

I've used a few that can connect to Blue Iris and other RTSP clients. My favorite is this one: Amcrest AD110 I believe this is a repackaged Dahua DB11. I like the wide horizontal viewing angle, and the 16:9 image, and the Amcrest version is only $90. It not only has HTSP, but ONVIF discovery as...

Up until yesterday, I've used the group cycle feature and the live images would fill the screen. Suddenly, when I go to select a group cycle, the images appear much smaller than full screen and also much smaller than their actual resolution. Here's what it looks like now (with Chrome on a PC...

Of course... duhh! I looked there and only saw the bottom section about other auto-cycle options. Thank you for your help.

When I'm in UI3, under "Current group", I have the option for "All cameras cycle". However there does not appear to be an option to cycle the another group: I looked though the UI3 settings and the BI webcasting settings and haven't found the answer yet myself. Anybody know how to allow...

Thanks, figured out enough to do what I want. For dummies like me: Pick and name a second profile On a camera you want to quit triggering, go to trigger section, select that new profile, and turn off Motion Detection On a camera you want to stay triggering and recording, go to trigger section...

Thank you, I didn't know a profile can have different actions per camera, thought they were global.

Yes I was trying, thinking of that. But if a camera on a second profile has no schedule for triggering, it will not trigger no matter what the geofence status. Does anyone have any further procedure after setting up two profiles? Geofence can change the profile based on inside / outside, but...

I just upgraded to version 5 and got a new license I have a small home setup with three cameras outside the house and two inside. I've been using geofence for a long time to simply red-light (none triggering) when my phone is inside and green-light (all triggering) when outside. I would instead...

Weird. I don't know if I can help, but I can tell you how it went for me. The app "RCA Security" for Android worked for me immediately. Pressed the add ("+") in the upper right, a camera opens, you point it at the QR code. Then it just asked for the WiFi password, and assumed an SSID it found...

Wow, now I see why you couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that not possible to have a stream with no path. Maybe there is a default if nothing is given in the settings.

Here's the one given by @Chadsturgill For HSDB2 early in the thread. He used a path for the RCA floodlight camera (HSFLC1 which is also a newer HikVision model with no web browser access). Path: /ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/101/ or URL: rtsp://ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/101/ I found...

Thank you. There must be a Path (RSTP URL) that your ONVIF retrieved ir you set it up with ONVIF. Any I'll manually use the RSTP URL that was provided here early in the thread.

Can you do me a favor and look in your Camera> Properites>Video>Configure. Let us know what's in the "Make", "Model" and "Path" fields? I know there is a working path already published here that simply matches some other HikVision cams, but this might be a better stream. Also, does the Halo ONE...

Thats' the same camera, LaView brand. LaView has been selling it for a while, but the description (still) says: "ONVIF Support available in Q2 2019" I guess they kept their promise Or may it had all along and they just need documentation or somthing. I'm optimistic about this one now, I'll...

Thanks @Ford. I can attest from experience the HSDB1 is pretty crappy, I was just hoping the HSDB2 wan't as bad. You're input informs me the HSDB2 is indeed better, so I'm keeping it. Thanks again...!

This thread is huge. I see @Chadsturgill and @Glen Mark and others really know these doorbells... So I have a couple questions for them. Quick background first. I am already using HSDB1 from LaView, worked kinda like shit for the past year, dropping RSTP connections a lot. They did some...

How do you know it won't affect DYI/Home markets and rebrand sellers like Amcrest, LaView, EZVIZ, They mostly sell to commercial customers, but they have home-intended products and cater to home/DIY customers as well. Or Amazon /Aliexpress stores or real stores like B&H Photo? I just bought an...

I got the RCA version of the floodlight recently because of the seemingly much better base mount. I'm having good luck with it, had to pay full $179 for it though. It looks almost just like a Ring or Nest or whatever it is they have at Best Buy, but the RTSP stream works and it's on Blue Iris. I...

I'm even thinking my Windows 7 machine might run BI 5. It's got a lot of horsepower, but it's a 2012 model which doesn't get Win 10 endorsement from either HP or Microsoft, so I'm not gonna upgrade it to Win 10. Blue Iris' announcement says no support for XP or Win 2003, min req't is 8.1 and...

@bookemdano - did you ever find out what turning off the "Light Linkage" setting does? I got busy and didn't get around to ordering mine yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll go with the same RCA you did. We're certain it will do RTSP and know the URL, and it's looks like it has a much sturdier mount.

I'm sure you can turn the lights on and off by the app. I looked and the instructions pdf and the button for it is on the Live View screen, the last on labeled "Light". I was just hoping after getting it on Blue Iris I could lose the app, but since it's needed to control the lights manually, no...

A question about your RCA -- is there a switch to turn the lights on for hanging out in the backyard at night? Or is the only way to do that with the mobile app?

Now that I look closer, I can see the Momentum and the LaView versions have a far weaker mounting design than the RCA. In fact some of the bad reviews about the Momentum on Amazon have to do with the fact that the bracket-to-junction is held together by one center screw. Then the whole assembly...

Thank you!! I can always try the Momentum version from my Local WalMart and see if the same RTSP URL works and whether a cloud service is required. I'm familiar with the phone app/QR code process from other devices. I like a web interface better, especially on cams that have an Ethernet port in...

They all look pretty different. How did you know they're the same Hikvison? https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Security-Flood-Light-Camera/dp/B07CJW32HQ https://www.amazon.com/LaView-Floodlight-Motion-Activated-Security-Two-Way/dp/B07L1DD15H...
