I'm not seeing any options to view cameras, just adjust settings.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same software. I downloaded the batch config tool, but that appears for configuration, not live viewing.
Hi, is anyone getting the below when viewing live with the EZVIZ app? The network is fine. I am getting the alert pictures from EZVIZ. I am also able to view live stream on my Synology surveillance video. It's also recording the videos to my Synology. I am wondering if there is a server issue on the EZVIZ end.
Hmmm. I am at a lost, I know you typoed the / instead of / but you have it correct. So when you enter the link, you get the login screen right? That is tell me it is not excepting your link info username and or password. You have not changed these correct?
In VLC I go to Media/Open network Stream
You definitely want to use port 554 here. 8000 is for remote access, iVMS-4200 or Batch Config. Tool.
Gotta be something simple we are missing. I know I am pushing VLC but it is really a good test for 24/7 streaming.

Maybe the cloud, but mine works though. So I notice CloudPlay highlighted on yours...
My IR will be kicking on soon...
Got it! Lol. It does pop up that box, then I have to type the other password that's set separately for the camera. That got me in, finally. Thanks
And I totally agree, I should go through the steps and see what happens....Going to let it run and see what happens...I'll stop the iVMS-4200 live view and see if VLC does the same choppy deal...
Update: So after letting VLC run all night (for some reason it was stopped when I checked it this morning) and then comparing iVMS-4200 and VLC side-by-side in the live view mode today, VLC for sure looks better. Watching cars go by on the iVMS-4200, they appear to "pause" for moment, then the video continues - I don't see that with the VLC. This is after letting both of them running simultaneously for over an hour (that's when the buffering starts).
I'm still wondering if replacing the transformer (I'm running at 16 V and 10 A) might help?

I ended up deleting the DB1 and reconfiguring. Everything is fine now. It even fixed the mechanical chime now. It was not ringing all this time. LOL.

New here.
My 3rd mechanical DB chime melted down due to sticking DB buttons, Argh!
So I have been looking at a replacement all day and found the EZVIZ DB1. And I spotted them on ebay for $89.99 from EZVIZ and Amazon and bhphotovideo.
Bhphotovideo sale is only good till midnight tonight.
Maybe I should buy today?
Thanks

Guys, I have a very weird problem, would really appreciate some help.
My EZ DB1 was working well on the stock firmware for last 6+ months, then i guess some new FW updates came through and now I have this weird problem where the Doorbell is working, powered on shows camera feed.But the mechanical chime, is not ringing.
I have a mechanical chime, so I am indeed using the power thing that came with the DB1, and it was working well.
I tried
The mechanical chime is working well, I tried shorting the cables directly (whilst the DB1 power thing was like how it was when working) and the chime inside (mechanical) works just fine.
This makes me to believe either
a. the Bell has some issue (unlikely - the DB1 i mean)
b. A new firmware update has borked how its logic works that when you press the button outside, it rings on the app AND the mechanical chime
Its funny it was working up until i think a few week ago, I was very busy with work so I did not get a chance to check and here I am not sure what to do.
I doubt the transformer is bad or low on power, the bell shows the Feed and it was working perfectly well.Nothing I see has changed other than the firmware update( from the EZ VIZ App) and or the Android / iPhone EZ VIZ App.
I also cannot recall that if the previous EZ VIZ client app in android, even after setup had an option to View / Change the CHIME options.
Thanks!

I tried
- Resetting the doorbell multiple times, and choosing mechanical chime at initial setup
- Removed the mechanical chime cover and made sure nothing came off is loose
- the Door bell itself DB1 is not loose on the bell wires.

You could try downloading Guarding Vision app. In the app you will find a setting for the type of chime you use. You should be able to log in with your EZviz account. The EZviz app you can still use. Alterbative: delete the db from your ezviz app and add it again with your ezviz account. You should be able to set the type of chime again, but only during setup.

Hello All:
I'm having a strange problem with the ezviz db1 and I'm hoping someone here has an idea. I have looked through all the pages here and a couple of people have sort of the same problem I do but I don't see any solutions.
On it's own, the db1 performs well: takes video, sends alerts, no problems.
When I start motion detection of blue iris, that's when the problems start. It seems to run well until someone crosses the perimeter I have set up, then the video freezes up on blue iris, sometimes splitting into THREE screens with rainbow colors, sometimes showing a whacky view that repeats over and over, like the preview image on your phone, but with rainbow imagery and pixelly video.
In most cases, the video stays like this, showing the same video over and over, until the camera is reset on blue iris.
It resets easily, and all is well until something sets off the motion on blue iris again.
I know it must be something simple but I have no idea what it is. I have a strong connection on wifi.
Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks for the help!

Although I don’t use BI I see somtimes the same issues on my motioneye server. My impression is that it has something to do with the wifi being to weak or channels being used by other APs in the neighborhood. I guess the DB is sending footage to the cloud when the PIR is triggered and that might just overload the wifi channel. Restarting the AP helps in my case. It probably chooses anothe channel. I’ m using 2.4 Ghz btw.

Getting comfortable
DB sends video to the cloud only if it's configured to do so, and even in that case, it doesn't need a lot of bandwidth, more likely cpu requirement than bandwidth. I guess if someone uses an NVR it's because he doesn't rely on the cloud. So I don't think that's the problem.
You need to watch the recording on the SD Card and see if there's any interruption, if not, it's a problem related to the stream sent to BI. I don't know how BI works, if it opens another stream or what, but you need to first see if local recordings have the same problem, in order to exclude BI (or other sw NVR).
It is your preference, the Mech. Chimes seem to work better with the Power Kit and this Doorbell, that is from all I have read here in this Thread. Be sure a match your transformer with your Chime though. That is if your transformer is a 16v 10va then get a Chime that works at 16 volts. If you have a 24v transformer, match the Chime to 24v. We recommend though stepping up any builder grade transformer for Smart Doorbells. Same recommendation to match Chime to Trans,, if you are replacing a 16v 10va, go with a 16v 30va or even a 40va.
My 2 cents. I seem to remember having a similar problem when I turned on Sync with camera, here is my settings for Motion:
