I first turned on the "EZVIZ" logo and then loaded the LaView utilizing the link you provided several pages back which is the same link I believe you have posted above. Once I updated to LaView, the logo automatically changed to "RCA". There was no option in the configuration tool to turn it off, as expected. Then I loaded the EZVIZ firmware you also linked to a ways back in this thread. When I reverted back to EZVIZ, that is when it bricked.
When the new one shows up, I'm going to leave the "EZVIZ" logo off and update to LaView firmware.
Not sure why you are getting nothing at the 5 foot setting.So...after an initial nice period, I've become underwhelmed with this doorbell cam. So far I can't get the motion detection to work well at all - either it detected EVERYTHING (any car driving by) with the 9ft setting or nothing at all with the 5 ft setting.
And it keeps freezing up in MotionEye after a period of time or when there's motion.
I knew it couldn't have been as easy as I thought it would be
With the LaView firmware, the sensitivity settings in Batch Configuration Tool are grayed out. You might check depending which firmware/brand you have.
I am not familiar with motionEye but it looks like they are still working on a lot of issues:

Ok then good news then I would get a 16v 30va and you will be good. If you need suggestions, let us know. Amazon has a long list of transformers available.
I apologize but I am confused. The Remove RCA Logo trick is Only for those who want to get rid of the RCA Logo. If your EZVIZ did not initially have a Logo then all you need to do is update to the LaView firmware.
Again I apologize for the misunderstanding. The reason the RCA owners had to load the EZVIZ firmware is because they did not have the option to turn off Logo in the RCA firmware using iVMS-4200 or Batch Config. Tool. Once they turned it ON with the EZVIZ firmware loaded they would load LaView firmware where it stayed off. Even the LaView firmware does not have the Logo on/off option. Each firmware is different and enables and disables certain options in their Hikvision tools.
So Yes, if you do not have a Logo showing in your View screen then all you need to do is upgrade to LaView's firmware.

Just the breaker, not the main. What I did was have my wife ring the doorbell while I turned off each breaker until it rang now more to find it.

Ok because it looks like it is connected to the electric panel directly. I did turned off the actual breaker when installed the doorbell but the transformer installation looks weird to me.That looks good, this is the one I ordered and am using:

Can you send us more pictures, if you have to take the panel off the main breaker box, then YES, I would turn off the Main. BUT keep in mind the Wires connecting your Main Breakers is still LIVE.
Example:
I have the Ezviz firmware as of now. Outside of an update, I haven't touched anything else - has the motion settings greyed out as well. And yeah, the motion thing is really odd - cars in the street (which is at least 20ft from my front door, if not more) works on the middle setting but when I turn it down one it see's nothing on the sidewalk up to my door that's center image.
Re: MotionEye - it's a frontend to the motion suite of image/motion detection tools (ccrisan/motioneyeos) - the android version is something else or a port I believe. I had 4-5 cameras on it (inside the house, 3 foscam's, 1 Wyze) and it was ok, this one it's choking on. So, trying a few things - using the substream and just put MotionEye onto a Pi4 vs a Pi3b+ with just the doorbell. Will see if it's a processing power vs. network issue now and get it all aligned.
Yes i think i need to take the panel off. Will send pics tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Very appreciated
HI, In my case I left the DB unpowered for about an hour. I then was able to reset and reload the original firmware.
The other thing I realized was I had left a resistor in the power circuit that was required for the Nelly DB1 without a chime. Things worked a lot better once I removed that.
Now I'm running the latest EZVIZ firmware with out issue. I will be attempting to use one of the other firmware in the future.
I too bought the EZVIZ version and uploaded the LaView FW posted from the 101. Using the LaView FW resulted in the RCA logo always on. I am leaving it in for now especially since it might get bricked when trying to reflash. Any idea why flashing the LaView FW results in the RCA logo?
So I have mine set at 9 feet, have not tried the 5 feet, my porch is about 6 feet long, then a small sidewalk to my driveway which is another 50 feet to the street. I pretty much yet motion when someone is about 10 foot form the Doorbell. Every once in awhile I will get a large truck driving by. I stream 24/7 to Blue Iris so motion is not that big of a deal to me, except for notification, which are instant on this Doorbell. So if someone is walking up to your door the video playback adds 5 secs prior to motion detection, you do get that correct? Or no motion at all?
One thing that is nice about Blue Iris is you can set motion zones there too.
I will set mine to 5 feet for this week and let you know my results.
I was excited when Pi4 got released, I quickly ordered a 4Gig version. I like OSMC, though they still don't have a Pi4 version out yet. motionEye looks interesting, may follow it to see how far they get on the port for Android. Thanks for the info/share...
Did you turn Off or On the Logo in the iVMS-4200 or Batch Config. Tool software before you upgraded to LaView firmware?
I used iVMS-4200 and did not change a single setting. I just flashed the LaView FW and when it rebooted, it had the RCA logo. Why does the LaView firmware have the RCA logo? What do you think the best way to get rid of the logo? Should I try the LTS FW instead? Thanks for the help.
So one more question, to get a second confirmation, you did not have an EZVIZ Logo or RCA Logo in your view screen in the App., prior to loading the LaView firmware right?
Anyone can assistwith my night vision issue?

EZVIZ db1 sucky night vision
I’ve sold my ring and eufy dbs and now installed the ezviz db1. My night vision is awful, is my unit defective? See attached photos with the IR on and another with it off. I never had this issue with ring/eufy dbs.
