Given that my DB keeps losing its config every few months (at times on its own while it's running (I actually have it on a UPS) and at times when I have a long power failure and the UPS dies), is it something I should try? Or, is it pointless, just an issue with the whole DB platform

You say yours is still flashing? So, are you basically using the &!%@ thing as a chime? That's it? Wow. Something's up ... I don't see a lot of people chiming in with this issue of randomly losing firmware settings and having to recover... I wonder if it's something we did. One thing I have...

Have you ever tried restoring from the config file after a reset to see if the chime setting is recovered?

Does anyone know if you use the Export Configuration option in Batch Config, will it save the chime setting, so the next time the thing goes blinking blue, I can just connect ad-hoc to the db2 and Import Configuration and be back in business? Anyone try/using that successfully?

Has anyone figured out exactly why this doorbell seems to reset/lose its configuration every so often? I have the RCA with the EZVIZ firmware -- for me it's about the 5th or 6th time in 2 years or so. Very frustrating, now that I have to fully reset it in order to get back the chime...

I like the way you're thinking. The doorbell probably teaches out to ezviz with those packets, if you figure out what the domain is you could seed your internal DNS with the address of your raspberry pi or whatever will catch those packets. It's definitely a worthy endeavor, better than some...

I just DL'd GV 4.5.1.0716 on Android. I was able to log in with my EZVIZ username, but it seems like they have now also removed the Chime Type setting! What version are you guys using, maybe I can sideload the APK and get back to a rev that supports this. EDIT: I found a version 3 of the app on...

Having a problem with my RCA running EZVIZ build 190708 recently. The doorbell is on 5ghz and is dropping off Wifi and staying dropped until I walk in front of it. The doorbell button is solid red, then turns blue in a second or two after I walk in front of it and trigger motion (which I guess...

Re: Video play failed, error code:380356 Error resolved by a reboot. :( EZVIZ firmware V5.2.4 build 190708. Must be a memory leak, the doorbell was up since end of October when I updated to this firmware.

David, thanks for your reply -- do you get this exact code? Do you think this means some kind of authentication error on the video encryption? I did try an older V3.x version of EZVIZ that I had on my tablet (forgot I had it there) and I'm getting the same error. Even videos that I know worked...

Anyone update to the latest EZVIZ android app 4.0.4.1217 and having trouble playing alert videos from the SD card? I see all the thumbnails for the Alarm messages, and live video works, but video playback fails with: Video play failed, error code:380356 Doorbell is running EZVIZ...

Hey Chad, you used to prefer the RCA app. What changed? I hate the lag in notifications on Android -- it impacts the ones I've tried -- RCA, EZVIZ, GUARDING VISION -- the last one I tried because I saw someone post under the RCA app that RCA recommended it to them. It doesn't seem to wake up...

Is anyone else finding that visitors are pressing the camera or speaker in the middle rather than the doorbell button at the bottom? :banghead: Unfortunately, they're basically all black, and the speaker is the most shiny. Aargh.

I got this from Voxx support on how to do a full reset (some of it seems overkill/depending, but take it FWIW) 1. Delete the device(camera) from the Security App. 2. Uninstall and reinstall the Security app. 3. Cut the breaker to the unit for fifteen minutes for the doorbell to successfully...

Yeah it did exactly the same to mine! Turn on WDR mode in IVMS and it will go to normal. Im going to try a hard reset from the front of the device.

Did you update yet? Did you notice that the brightness is now really blown out during the day? Edit -- somehow, on trying a few more times, I got the CCD menu to show in the IVMS software -- I found that "WDR Mode" was off, and I set it on. Made the image look much better. Chad -- have you...

Chad, I'm a little bugged by the fact that I don't have the same menu options as you do in the IVMS-4200 software. What version are you running? I think the latest version which is what I am running is not the best for use with this camera. My version is 2.7.2.7 build 20180919 (on a PC). For...

Hey Chad. Just got notice on the EZVIZ app of a firmware upgrade to 5.2.4 build 181121 (from 181024) 1. Solve the problem that no response for ring bell on certain conditions 2. Optimize performance for ring push 3. Solve the problem of inappropriate time zone display 4. Improve the stability...

Chad, When you go into IVMS the next time, check the Start Time timestamp on the device at the bottom half of the main Device Mangement screen and write it down -- see if it changes, this is the last boot time. Also, check the BI logs to see if you get a signal restored message from time to time.

Is anyone here using Blue Iris with the HSDB2A also using an electronic chime?

Hey Chad, just an update. I did some re-wiring -- but honestly most of my wire is buried in so many walls (one which is not accessible from the basement), that I would have to go fishing (and plastering and painting) to rework it all... ugh. My change made no material difference, really. Somehow...

Chad, I got the IVMS software loaded and talking to the camera. For some reason it doesn't see to be able to pull a video image from the camera, and some settings are grayed like Motion configuration. But that's neither here nor there. The one thing it did confirm for me (thanks to your help)...

Wow, Argus, you are VERY intrepid. I'd never looked at FCC filings. Smart move. There is a big cap, but it couldn't supply enough juice to do an orderly shutdown. BTW I was hoping that the big thing in the middle was a PIR to avoid false alerting, but, alas, it looks to me like it's just a big...

I didn't raise the high temp issues with support as of yet -- right now it's off my bench and mounted again outdoors, and its going below freezing tonight :) I think you're right, the thing is probably supposed to power itself down after closing out open files on the SD card. I guess they're...

Just got this from Voxx/RCA support -- doesn't really add up, but ok... The doorbell has a slight partition of reserve power(think of a backup generator) when not connected to a live current. That is why the light remains lit for a few seconds. If that happens again, where you disconnect the...

It's the Hampton Bay 1003 008 637 / Model HB-7623-03 from Home Depot Hampton Bay Wireless or Wired Door Bell in Black Frame with White Insert-HB-7623-03 - The Home Depot

It was hot only on the bench with the resistive load. I have it installed with an electronic chime, and the power pak. No diode. The doorbell cycle I have is 5 seconds. However, the rebooting happens without ringing the doorbell. The amount of time that the device is powered after removing...

Chad, I did get the Edwards transformer and ran the HSDB2A on the bench for a few days, no reboots (it got hot as heck tho). The ammeter showed it was pulling .5amps interestingly, so it definitely wanted more juice than it was getting from the old transformer. However, once I mounted the...

Thanks Chad, I ordered the Edwards coming Saturday and will give that a try just to eliminate the power concern

Yes, I can see there is no power change, using a jeweled clampon ammeter to meaure, about .4amp at 20VAC. Transformer is 1A rated. I've tried other bigger transformers, no difference. I suppose I can get another doorbell transformer, but I really don't see the current draw requiring it...
