Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

That’s exciting!! Have you tried changing the audio files? Please let me know if it works, I’m about to get mine next week.

is this the firmware that you’re using?

DH_VTOX20XF_MultiLang_PN_SIP_V4.500.0000001.0.R.210713
well, that link I gave above takes you to V4.500.00002.0
 
Yes just dahua official firmware, I ask holbs to download there

Let me ask you something…

There are two different files, the one on dahuawiki is:

DH_VTOXXXXD-G_MultiLang_PN_SIP_V4.500.0000000.5.R.201026.bin

And there‘s another firmware you can find if you go to VTO2201F-P

DH_VTOX20XF_MultiLang_PN_SIP_V4.500.0000001.0.R.210713


Are they the same ? What’s the difference ?

and remember... there is v4.500002.0 as well. I just went with the highest numerical value for firmware upgrade. It is confusing that one Dahua page has older firmware, another Dahua page has newer firmware. I guess the webmaster forgot that there are multiple locations to download firmware.

yeah that’s why I’m asking, it’s very confusing to know which firmware is the latest..

Maybe this is the latest one

DH_VTOXXXXD-G_MultiLang_PN_SIP_V4.500.0000000.5.R.201026.bin
 
@Holbs : 4.) Sadly, did not fix the main stream 720p / substream 1080p issue. Maybe this was by design?
=> what is your issue exactly? Main is 720p for bandwidth reasons. It's by design.

Pretty sure this is the one I snagged.
 
its sad that they NOW included all free config sound settings... i wrote dahua europe many times, they always said that they love their chinesium sounds and they will never change it (ok, they wrote something else, but thats what they really want to say).

now i have all hikvision :clap::facepalm:o_O

sure it have 12hour clock, no 720/1080p problems... but many/some other problems ;)

these dahua sounds were so annoying, i dont want that my street hear it lol.. so i had to buy hikvision

seems that i was not the only one and they finally listen to the customer... :screwy:
 
I just got mine and Amazon Polly works amazingly well for voice responses. The only issue is that It doesn’t let you upload a file bigger than 20kb, so as soon as I compress a doorbell sound, it plays only once and then it stops working, like if the VTO was disconnected from the VTH, but It works again if I reboot both devices.
I tried deleting the file and it goes back to normal, it’s weird but It might be the compression.
 
@Holbs have you tried updating the VTH? Now you can upload your own ringtones …

nope. something I must do! got link to the update? not sure if I have the stomach to dig through 4 - 8 pages trying to find it :) what else does the update do for the VTH? audio import only?
 
It seems that’s you can also pair it with another dedicated app (dss agile vdp), but I don’t know if that’s something new or not.

I‘m not sure how I’m supposed to add my own ring tones, but maybe I need to remove the screws on the VTH to have access to the SD card, because it has an 8GB microsd.

what is the link to that VTH firmware? I never knew you could install SD card into VTO so I did that just now :) Wonder why SD card for VTH. upgrade purposes perhaps? I did see that agile. Dunno different between the DDSS and agile.
