Just put on the LaView Firmware on my RCA doorbell. Onvif and Sub stream work great... but I still have the RCA logo. Not a huge deal as it doesnt cover up anything i need.
But... I was hoping the onvif feed would allow me to receive motion events so I could set my NVR to record on motion instead of all the time, but QVR Pro doesn't seem to recognize the camera as a motion detector. Is it the feed from the camera or do I just need to change how the camera is added inside the NVR? Are y'all getting motion events out of the camera on the onvif feed?
In "image settings"? I thought I saw a screenshot from someone else that included things like brightness, but I'm getting just a blank screen where I would expect those settings to be.
Try closing and reconnecting. Might take a few tries...
That did it. That whole CCD section was missing. After closing and opening ivms a couple times, it showed up. I LOVE COMPUTERS!!!
I'm using my Synology with generic ONVIF for the camera and get motion events. This was my main reason for going ONVIF, before that I was using the RTSP stream and had to perform motion detection on the Synology which forced the camera to constantly stream.

Love the Synology. I've had 4 and have purchased about 10 for friends. The licenses for SS are very expensive I admit, it's a little stupid. I run about 20 different containers on the Synology so I use it for just about everything such as Pi-Hole, DLNA Server, Home Assistant, etc. Current model is a DS918+.
Unfortunately I don't use the Synology for push notifications and never tried BI as I've been a Synology user since the start of my camera fun.
Do any of these various firmwares provide the ability to control video settings like brightness? The overhang over my front door provides enough shade so that everyone that approaches is backlit by the daylight behind them resulting in most of the recordings being of silhouettes rather than detailed faces.
The various apps seem so similar, yet there are key features missing from some that are present in others. I keep going back to the RCA app because it as a 'Call Log' that shows date/time and picture of who pushed the button. EZVIZ, Hik-Connect, and Guarding Vision don't seem to have this log. I found some of the apps (Laview, Hik-Connect) squish the video to a rectangle while others (RCA, EZVIZ) keep the aspect ratio, which keeps people from looking like Stewey from Family Guy. I was able to log into some of the other apps using the credentials I created for the RCA app, but some of the them made me create new credentials, which then required me to delete the camera from the other account in order to add it to the new one. Nelly's is the only one I haven't installed yet.
Same worked for me. Turn it on first with EZVIZ firmware and then install LaView Firmware and poof it’s gone!So you may try loading EZVIZ first, turn on Logo, then load LaView's and hopefully it will turn it off:

So I am still torn between BI and Synology. Which Synology model do you have? Also, is it true the first two cameras are free, then you have to buy a license for each added camera? $50-75 each right?
Currently it's a DS918+. If all you're doing is NVR then I'd probably stick with BI. I use the Synology for storage/backup and run about 20 dockers/containers on it for a bunch of other tasks, so it was a no brainer for me to use it for the cameras. Yea, $50-75.
