I tried this, and I am now on static IP. No change, still will not reconnect when I restore power after "simulated" power outage. Also the windows EZVIZ Studio seems to have less? setup options than the android app? Buggy as they come, it will not even adjust detection area for me. I can't connect to wifi using Studio either, I have to use the android app.
Yes, it seems to take the static ip through EZVIZ Studio after it is connected to wifi (with Android app). But after the power outage it will not reconnect, needs a reset. I did not reserve the IP in the router, I will do that also, maybe that is the clincher.
You would still need to have the DB1C look for the DHCP server even if you set a DHCP Mapped IP address from your Router. I would turn it back on...
I have tried it both ways (actually all combinations), it does not change the behaviour. Still no reconnect after power loss. I does give it the fixed IP now though, but I need to manually reset the doorbell (faceplate clips are getting a workout).
Actually it will not reconnect to Wi-Fi at all on its own. Shows as "offline" until I manually reset it. Then it will accept the fixed ip address from the router. I am beginning to think something is wrong with it. I'll start looking for sales to get a new one.
So here is another thought, these DBs has batteries in them, or at least the DB1 does. We had a few people in our Thread state similar issues like you are experiencing, some would say their settings would disappear after a power outage and they would have to re-setup the DB as if it were new, others would state like you, network would not connect unless they reset the DB. Some of those added an UPS at their transformer to handle the outages, I know that sounds extreme but it seemed to work with them. I tried to find the FCC info on this DB but have not found it yet. What is great with this, is you can see one fully taken apart. Here is the DB1:
I do see the battery, but it looks white with yellow stripes. No helpful sticker for the battery specs like on the DB1, but they should be similar. Wonder if I could get a replacement from Aliexpress? Can't quite make out the writing on the battery picture though, is there a larger clearer pic?Wow, how did I miss this, here it is, only had to add a C at the end, Wow, Duh:

@silencery please add the above FCC link to your Message One (Sticky) of the Thread for future reference. Thanks...
Haha, tells you what I know about electronics...Oh, nice. These have internal Lipo batteries. That should help keep it much more stable than my prior video doorbell.
FYI, the blue "battery" is a capacitor.
