Review: EZVIZ DB1C
- Thread starter silencery
- Start date
read every thread I can find here on my carema's issue including those. Normally when a chime fails that has been working then deleting the camera, resetting and adding back fixes it but not for me this time. If the chime has never worked it can be a defective product or configuration issue.

this may help....
WTS - Brand New Sealed DB1C Doorbell
Factory Sealed. 89 shipped anywhere in the USA. Let me know. Thanks
about 17.9V. Plenty of VA. The Doorbell button works outside but no longer does inside. The doorbell woke me up the night before it failed about 2am. No one was there and all the motion sensor lights off. Hasn't worked since no matter what I do or try.

Have to install it again and measure it. Waiting on Ezviz to send me a link to the current firmware version so I can reflash it in case it is a corrupted firmware install.
Some have used this with their DB1:

Thank you
Got an order in just now ...
new DB1 installed today. It did not ring the chime but started working about an hour later on its own. This leaves only two conclusions - either there is an electronic device / battery in it that has to charge to a minimum charge, or there is a setting on the cloud that takes time to configure and sync. I am waiting on Ezviz to tell me if it is the latter.
There is definitely a battery in there, I am replacing the battery in mine to see if it will fix my issue (my DB1C will not reconnect after a power outage).
I'd like to integrate my DB1C into my homeassistant setup, and have discovered the Sage Zigbee Doorbell Sensor, which is designed to connect to the Trans/Front/Rear terminals on a doorbell. I use the Ezviz wireless chime so have my DB1C connected directly to a 12V DC transformer. Could anyone advise on how/if I can insert the Sage Sensor into this setup?
For example, could I simply connect its Front and Trans connectors inline with one of the wires from my existing transformer to the DB1C?

I started researching Video Doorbell's about two weeks ago and almost had myself convinced to order the Arlo but wasn't happy about the forever monthly subscription even though in the grand scheme of things it wasn't that expensive. Then I came across the EzViz and eventually, this thread. I had already been a fan and user of Blue Iris for my Security Cams so the revelation that I could probably integrate the DB1C with BI and have a really effective Doorbell Cam System with Security without a monthly fee was really wonderful surprise. I was jealous of the number of people on this and other DB1x message boards who bought the DB1C for around $60 when the cheapest I could find it was $98. But finally, Sunday evening I went to Amazon.com to hit buy and ran into a four hour sale where I picked up the DB1C for $54!!! ($57 w/tax and free shipping)!!! When I got it into my shopping cart and was ready to hit submit I was informed there was only 15 minutes left in the sale (otherwise I would have gotten on this board and provided a heads up)!
I received the DB1C on Wednesday and installed it on Saturday. Because of all the great info on this thread, I got a 30VA Transformer to replace my 10VA one, installed it as well as the Doorbell in about an hour. Got it integrated with Blue Iris in another 20 minutes or so and everything seems to be working great (including my existing indoor doorbell chime)! Of course, I'll be tweaking BI Motion Detection for the next year or so but that's life!
So once again, thanks to silencery and all the other very knowledgeable folks who put their hard learned experience out here for me to benefit from!!

I use Sage Sensor on my DB1 (My DB1C is being shipped to me as I post this). You should be able to hook Sage sensor up as if it was a doorbell chime. You will probably need to remove the inline fuse and connect the powerkit to the doorbell circuitry.
