Of course as soon as I made the post, then I found the answer in the thread, admin + the verification code. Thanks for this forum anyway. 
Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

It would be more complicated than that since the typical doorbell wiring is low voltage AC, not DC.
One option that comes to mind is to add a resistor across the chime terminals - that is prescribed as a means to reduce the idle state "chatter" at the chime solenoids. The reason for that would also help with the power-up ring. Some kits came with a 10-ohm resistor for use in place of a chime; adding that across the chime might work. The resistor across the chime terminals has a down side in that the chime may not ring as loud or only leave you with a single note chime instead of two-note chime since some current is now flowing through the resistor instead of the chime solenoid. It might take some trial and error to figure out what value of resistor stops the power up chime without overly affecting the desired chime notes.
If you're into DIY electronics, there's also the pulse stretcher circuit I mentioned in another thread. My main objective was to increase the delay between the two chime notes, but I noticed a side benefit in that the chime wasn't as prone to the power-up ring.
A capacitor filters DC and lets AC (spikes) through. An inductor filters out spikes and lets DC pass. However, I don’t know how big an inductor would be needed to solve your issue.

Sorry very old, only just seen this. It's not the lens being a fish eye that's at fault (fish eye actually only refers to any lens over 180 degrees. It's not a lens type in itself). It's the fact it's not rectilinear ie it doesn't produce a distortion free image from edge to edge. You can get lens that don't distort. However, in wide angle, the wider you go, the more expensive they tend to be. I'm sure they could produce a better lens than this though. You might also be able to use an advanced video editing program to correct the fish eye effect.
Where can I find the latest firmware for this from Hikvision? Also I recently lost my RTSP stream and I dont know why 
Anyone else know how to get this set up with Synology?

Hikvision doesn't have this doorbell. They were going to release it one and half years ago but in the end it didn't show up. They ended up selling it as an EZViz model. If you want firmware then you may check there. Since this is an LTS doorbell I would recommend going to their website and getting the doorbell's firmware.
Hrmm,
Currently I am running 1.4.62 build 180726 and access this through hikconnect, Would I need touse a different application if I used someone elses firmware?
I think you are using Nelly’s firmware since it is 180726. I use Uniden’s app and Hik-Connect without issues. They all go through the same server. That firmware is the latest AFAIK.

Got it, I think I recall that now.
What is the absolute latest firmware? Or should I stick with Unidens firmware since its technically the brand of my doorbell?
I know a bunch of companies package this hikvision camera. I dont know if they all release their own firmware? Or if that firmware is compatible with each device or if there is some incompatibility.
So the doorbell is going to the Hik-Connect server? I thought for the OEM's it will show a server of dev.guardingvision.com instead of the Hikconnect one?
You can snoop the Hik site for firmware here: ftp:/ftp.hikvisioneurope.com/Technical%20Materials/07%20%20Video%20Intercom/00%20%20Product%20Firmware/IP%20Door%20Bells/Wi-Fi%20Door%20Bell/

So what's the verdict on these doorbells? I am setting up blue iris and cams around the house. We already have a Ring Pro that works great for the most part. But if I could get rid of the subscription and have it in BI I would prefer that. So long as it works as well as Ring and I can talk to people... Verdict? Will we be happy?
This model works fine for monitoring and recording the doorbell camera with BI and I get ring events on the doorbell app. That's generally all I need. But I don't find the app useful or reliable for two way chat to answer the doorbell or recording events in the app itself. The app is just a little too flaky to be reliable for that.
Most would probably recommend the newer model discussed in another thread. There's a thread in here comparing different options but I don't think that's been updated lately.

Should I get one at all? Ring Pro works pretty well for what it does. I value and use the feature where I talk to people at my door and have a two way conversation. It functions as an intercom.
Does that work properly and without much delay with the ONVIF doorbells? If so what is the best model?
If you're satisfied with Ring Pro I would stick with it. The new one with ONVIF seems to work well when I have a chance to speak through it. I haven't used it much with people ringing the doorbell, dropping off packages then scurrying back to their car.
