Review: EZVIZ DB1C

You'd need to locate and download a copy of the earlier firmware, then use EZViz Studio in Advanced mode to load that earlier firmware into the doorbell.
Review: EZVIZ DB1C
I have a DB1C and I followed the method to see the advanced settings in EZVIZ Studio but I don't have the option. I also have a chime and in this case I see the option. Is it is only for the DB1 that the option is hidden? See in the left side my DB1C and on the right my chime.

I just realized mine is doing the same thing and hasn't been working since Monday. It might have auto updated. I can get it to work fine in the ezviz app but my blue iris or vlc wont work on the rtsp stream. I do notice in the LAN VIEW on the app its using port 8000 to connect. Wonder if the update fixed anything or updated the link to the stream? How can i inspect my wifi traffic to see the stream my phone is viewing when its on the wifi?

Any tips for where previous DB1C firmware versions can be found for download?You'd need to locate and download a copy of the earlier firmware, then use EZViz Studio in Advanced mode to load that earlier firmware into the doorbell.

You can obtain a much older firmware from the doorbell 101 post.

Maybe un-install/re-install the app?Update I was able to get it working. Not sure exactly what I did but its working againThe RTSP fix in the app is not working as it doesnt show in my app at all.
Those firmwares in the 101 are not DB1CYou can obtain a much older firmware from the doorbell 101 post.

I had the same issue with my DB1 doorbell cam. I noticed that simply logging into the camera with the EzViz studio application and looking at the advanced camera configuration (I simply needed to go to the Network settings which still continue to show RTSP port) restored the camera's RTSP function. I just did this so I can't tell how long the feature will stick. I noticed this a couple of days ago when I first notice my NAS was no longer able to record from the camera and went in EzViz studio to downgrade the firmware, I noticed the recordings restarted minutes before I downgraded the firmware, so it had to be the EzViz studio app which kicked it back into function. Unfortunately I forgot to disabled automatic firmware upgrade and, you guessed it, firmware was upgraded and RTSP had stopped.

Is there a way to disable automatic upgrades? I have not found it.
Should be in the App

Not in the IOS app that I have.
I'm sadly having the same issue here too... No RTSP stream available for recording. Their latest update 230403 appears to have disabled it. I suspect EZVIZ are strong arming their customers and punishing them for using their own local system to record, instead of their cloud. You know, typical anti-consumerism.
I'm hoping there's a workaround for this, if not it'll have to be downgraded.... It'll likely update itself again regardless however. Fruitless.
Edit:
Blocked the camera from accessing the internet on the firewall, not sure it'll stop the application from updating itself however. (My stream is fed to me over RTSP via VPN anyways)
I'll see if I can use Home Assistant to do the API calls and notify my server's cctv software so I can keep the functions from their mobile app hopefully. (Such as notifications, alerts, calls). Hopefully it'll avoid me ever having to use their application ever again.

just noticed Ihad the issue too, Qnap QVRPro wasn't recording since 28th June which is when I guess the doorbell upgraded to 230403.
Couldn't open stream via VLC either.
Downloaded Ezviz Studio, messed around a bit to find out how to enable 'advanced' mode. Code see that RTSP port was still 554, went to check the settings on my QNAP once more and saw thatteh QNAP had once again started recording approx 10 minutes ago.
not sure what I did that actually fixed it, I didn't change anything ????

Hey guys,
I had to reset my db1c to default config as it appared offline in the EZVIZ app. Everything's fine now but I can't remember how to disable the internal chime of the db1c when button is pressed.
Someone knows how to ?
I managed to do it in the past when I installed the device so there is definitely a way but can't find the option in EZVIZ Studio or in Hik Batch config tool.
Thanks !

It should, or use to be, an option in the EZVIZ App.
