    Review - Dahua Ethernet over Coax Converter/Extender LR1002-1ET/LR1002-1EC

    Does anyone know if the LR1002-1ET can connect to a normal network switch instead of just an IP camera? I need a new network port at a certain location in the home. There's an existing unused coax point so I was wondering if I could use these cheaper LR1002-1ET/LR1002-1EC pair instead of a MOCA...

    a-b, and c-d needs to be measured in DC. And you didn't provide measurements for when button is pressed and button not pressed. The Modernizr operates on DC voltage. Your barrel jack power supply input gets converted to DC voltage for the rest of the board. The green connector is an input...

    So...it doesn't work . Most likely because that optocoupler is fried, but I can't be sure, because you didn't report back about the multimeter voltage readings that was asked. :idk:

    Adding a 3.3k resistor at that location won't have any effect at all. I'm at a loss. If it works, why do you want to make changes?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Did you have the probes on correctly? Positive to A and negative to B? If you did it correctly and the reading is 0L, then it is faulty. Don't connect resistor from A to C. There's a reason why that chip exists. Connecting A to C would bypass safety and will fry the remaining components. E,H,I...

    If you have some isopropyl alcohol (the 99+% type) use that with some cotton buds/cue-tips to clean the area circled in green. It's not going to fix anything, but it'll tidy things up and perhaps indicate a problem if it becomes oxidized again. Where were your test points when you measured 5V...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I looked at the Modernizr's docs and pics, and it looks like the board is using GPIO0 (zero) as the input. I've circled that in blue on the attached pic. I can't quite read the value of the resistor in the pic, but the docs skirt around the 10k resistor value and Fietspomp also mentions 10K. If...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The device rectifies the AC to DC and I've tested running it on about 7.5VDC. I tried running as low as 5VDC, and it runs, but it chokes when you press the button to ring. 5V is not enough juice to ring. Definitely not enough juice to ring and drive the mechanical chime. It also emits 3.3V...

    Well, that's the thing; I am using same user/password and it still doesn't allow me to view the video on other devices unless I have encryption turned off.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yup, that was it. Turning that option off allowed my other devices to view the video. The warning when disabling the encryption is a bit confusing: If disabled, the security level of videos and pictures will be decreased. Continue? That implies that the video is stored on a server somewhere (I...

    I did log in with same user/password. There's this option for "Image Encryption". It is at its default setting of ON. I wonder if I turn it off, would I be able to see the video stream on the other devices.

    Anyone know why I'm getting "The video is encrypted" when trying to view the camera within the Ezviz app on a second mobile device? The video stream is still viewable on my iphone, but ipad will only show the error. I even exited (killed) the app on the iphone, to no avail. I'm doing this in the...

    I am actually publishing to MQTT, using node-red to pick it up to push to Pushover notification. I'm already doing a few other things in node-red, but most of my functionality for this mod is done via Tasmota rules.

    My first DB1 wouldn't turn on. After getting my second DB1 (nelly), I thought no-harm, so I opened up first DB1, tested, nothing wrong, reassembled and it started working again and is still working. There are 2 spring retaining clips directly connecting the external wires into internal pads...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Just in case anyone is interested, here are some pics of my doorbell hooked to a wemos device (running Tasmota). I've soldered 2 wires directly to the doorbell's physical button so I can detect when it is pressed. This way, I don't need to rely on the temperamental behaviour of the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I also found this doorbell temperamental when trying to ring mechanical doorbell. I was trying to get a relay hooked up in place of the mechanical chime. When the doorbell is pressed, it should short, causing the relay (aka mechanical chime) to react. Sometimes I got it to work, then after a...

    Where is "network" in BC? I see top panel where existing devices are listed, and bottom panel with discovered devices which is empty. Nearly every option looks grayed out.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I've just retried manually connecting. Case does matter. Access point name was Laview_XXXXX, so password is Laview_authcode. I previously tried LAVIEW_authcode, which failed. But it is a moot point. Even though I can manually connect to the AP, the configuration app (EZVIZ or Laview ONE or...

    Hi all, Due to a lot of tinkering, my EZVIZ DB1 went into red blinking mode, so I tried resetting it until the confirmation voice came on. All good so far. I then used the EZVIZ app add new device, but am stuck on the wifi configuration. The app is trying to connect to the DB1's softap and is...

    Google/Alexa is not on my list of requirements. That Hikvision pricing is just crazy. Australians have to add tax + shipping + conversion rate. Ends up being twice the cost. Nelly's at $140++ is also not great. Might just have to wait for another sale.

    No warranty because I essentially didn't pay for it. I got a full refund but didn't have to send the unit back. So no sale equals no warranty.

    I was sent a refurb instead of new, so I got a refund and they didn't ask for it back. Thought I had struck gold...spent last 2 weeks fiddling with it, only to find out that it doesn't behave like what other members here described it. Had troubles with powerkit, now doorbell itself kaput. I...

    sigh Can't even buy another one on Amazon. Third party won't ship to Australia. Is Nelly's the next best doorbell to buy that has all the features? onvif, etc?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Have not tried the app or pinging device. Just assumed no lights = dead/incommunicado. How long should I leave it unplugged? It's been 3 hours already. I'm afraid to touch it and jinx it and then have to wait another 3+ hours. I will try the reset in about 8hrs time.

    Yes, physically disconnected it. Voltage across wires is good (ie. same as transformer 24vac or 12vac or even 12vdc). Have not tried Reset button. Would that even work when DB shows no signs of life? Should I reset if I have ezviz but on laview firmware? I suppose I have nothing to lose.

    Um. I think I killed my doorbell. I've been playing with it a lot, connecting and disconnect, and now the lights won't come on. No red or blue lights. Is there any hope if I wait a couple of hours with it unplugged?
