I used the search feature on the site and looked all over the internet to no avail. I have an EZVIZ DB1 (5.2.4 200904) using the EZVIZ app running on 2 phones and a tablet permanently mounted on a wall pushing sound to ceiling speakers. There are 2 things that drive me absolutely nuts to the point where I am ready to throw this thing in the garbage:

1. On all my devices, when someone rings the doorbell, I get the Skype ringtone which is not set anywhere as a ringtone. Is there any way to change this so I can differentiate between Skype itself and the doorbell?
2. Is it possible that when someone rings the doorbell and you answer on one device, that other 2 devices shut the heck up? I will quiet it on my phone and answer the door while the other 2 devices keep going. Or if my kid is sleeping, I have to remember to mute the tablet so she doesn't wake up, which I don't always remember to do.

I am fine with the image quality, I can push the stream to my Synology which is absolutely great, but the 2 things above got me to the point where I'm willing to consider going back to a mechanical doorbell or looking into a Nest or Ring. Thank you!

Additionally, if someone can suggest a better doorbell with RTSP/OnVif support, I'm def listening. But a year after getting the Ezviz, it seems like there aren't any better options.

I just got off the phone with Ezviz and their answer was "no" to either question for the DB1...which I assume would be the same for the newer DB1C. So I guess what I'd like to ask is if there's any way to do this using a different app other than Ezviz or a different tool/avenue.

Totally agree, Personally I think the call your phone feature / approach they have implemented is not very well thought through. Earlier app versions simply notified you via an alert when the doorbell was pressed apparently. I would much prefer this.

Hikvision really do need to improve their software in my opinion, but you have to take the ups with the downs - great hardware poor apps / software.
