Oh ... maybe a finger print smear on the len? You uploaded it to YouTube in 720p resolution so I couldn't tell you if it the camera or Youtube downgrading it.

When I view the Youtube video, it shows as 1440p. Video quality looks fine to me.

It was maxed at 720p earlier. I check again and now I can view it at 1440p. Video seem fine to me too.

Looks like mine on a rainy day...

Same here, what does it look like on a normal day with sunshine?

What would be a free or reasonable priced network tool/program that allows me to map my network for devices and their IP and or MAC addresses that would display in a flow chart or allow me to either capture the data so I can enter it in a network diagram chart. It has been many years since I used Visio, so looking for something along those lines. Also to be able add comment info like VLAN info per device.

Thanks

Don't use the fuse, that is to be used only if you have nothing. But you need to use the power kit. I followed the schema of the 101, instead of the chime you use the SAGE, connections are the same. In the app I configured an electronic chime. It works perfectly,

Do you remember if your Sage green wire (front) is tied with the white or black wire of the power kit?

I connected Sage green with white power kit and the Sage white with black power kit and it wouldn’t work. The doorbell stop working once its’ internal battery is drained out

the chime wouldn’t work but EZVIZ app no longer have a setting to switch to chime so tomorrow I will try again and use Guarding Vision app to change chime setting

What I found weird is that the time string flashes on and off. Mine is continuous.

The flashing can be configured:



I noticed the OSD string of Joshwah ends on "(S)". My OSD string ends on "(W)". Does anybody know whats that about?

Here's a picture while I was testing it, you can see white on white and green on black:



Let me know if you need further help. It works. Keep in mind that the only problem I had was that if I turned off power to the doorbell, I had to remove sage battery, wait 5 secs, reinsert it. It needs a reboot after a power-down/power-up cycle. But that could depend also on the Hubitat driver for the SAGE I'm using

Let me know how it goes.

I use SoftPerfect utilities for many things. One of those is WiFI Guard. Basically, when a device connects to my wifi, the scanner detects it and asks me if it is a known device, and I put a description of it to trace it. Once I acknowledge it as known device, it puts a green mark in the list. I like it because I can see the IPs, MAC addresses and what device it is.

So our LaView has a "(W)" too. Our Doorbell faces West, just a guess, not sure if it is able to detect location like a GPS though
Maybe something to do with Timezone?
Josh, is from Australia, is it a regional tag? I live in the (USA) West

Thanks I will look at their products. I did see the "portable" label on your pic, that I like.

Good guess except for my Central Timezone it would be Winter, Fall, guess I need to go back on some of my post (with DB pics) and see if it changed.

Well I am wrong, as usual. You win a chicken dinner. It is DST. I found a Sept. post with mine showing a "S"

Will a 16v10vac work for this video door bell? I have this, see attached picture. Thanks

Guess I got confused with the "Spring Forward, Fall Back" sayings. I get confused easily now a days

Oh and I will fully confirm this tomorrow, after DST changes "Spring Forward"

Thank you for picture.

I will try the other way around tonight.

I wondered if there anything under the heat shrink tubing or it’s just solid wire soldered a strained wire.

I am tempted to clip off the Y wires and just solder each wires all together but I am not sure if there a diode or something inside that heat shrink tubing

I had talked to RCA about this

S summer

W winter

Weird I know

 

[Jack007]

Just out of curiosity: What value did you choose for the I frame interval and why?
Mine is currently at 60 which i guess was the default.

I finally got the chime working today. It turn out that the chime i brought was defective from the factory so I had to take it back to exchange it.


The power kit wires at the Y was just soldered wires and I clipped it off and twisted it with Sage Sensor then put a new terminal so it easier to screw it in. I have not yet pair it with hubitat since it still sitting on the floor in the attic. I plan to mount it in the hallway wall tomorrow.

It is required to set Chime in the doorbell setting and the recent update removed that. It wouldn't work at all so I had to download Guarding Vision to set the chime in the doorbell setting before it would start working. I wondered how ezviz managed to mess that one up so if anyone here want to hook it to chime will still need to enable in setting.

Wow, I just logged into my hub and click the Zigbee then bam it found my doorbell sensor and saved it.

Glad you made it Bill.

Yes ezviz did an awful thing removing that, when my replacement doorbell arrives, I'll have to use another app to enable and configure the chime options. There's no logic in removing those options.
