Hi lagvoid,
How long do you have until the return window closes?
When I bought, Laview was advertising the holiday free return period (60 days). They better be counting from when I received it since it took so long.
Hi lagvoid,
How long do you have until the return window closes?
I have one one the way. Couple of questions for those who have them and are not happy. Do you have an NVR? I’m getting the LaView version and I have a 8 channel LaView NVR. I figure that I can do most or all of the settings via the NVR. Also curious does it record sound to the NVR 24x7 as well?
For me, live view seems to work great. Recording/playback from BlueIris is pretty good, but does have some lag. Frames freeze, but does not appear to be skipping any frames. Mine keeps disconnecting from wifi and as it tries to reconnect, it continuously rings the chime every minute or so. It's not a wifi source signal issue... could be a bad/weak wifi antennae in the cam. When someone rings the door bell, the live video won't load; but viewing live view will work.
Laview Customer support responded just now. Here's there response to my question regarding accessing the cam's web interface and wifi signal issues:

Hello,
Our developers just released a new update that seems to have cleared a couple of bugs, including the addition of a web interface to modify the motion detect settings.
Please follow the instructions below to update yours and let us know if you have any further issues.
Instructions: Remove the doorbell from power, place the provided update file into the micro sd card of the doorbell camera, re-insert the sd card, reconnect power to the doorbell and allow it to go through the update process. Thereafter, the camera should connect back to your account so you don't have to go through the setup process again. The camera should then be updated. We have seen that there is a lesser amount of notifications and the camera will also record to the NVR when motion is detected.

I will try this when I get home this evening.

The new firmware gives me access to the web interface, but the cam's connection to wifi is horrible. I was able to grab this screen before I lost connection.
Did you buy from HK vision directly? I wonder if I can put HKVISION firmware on my LaView. Also, would you mind posting the firmware number?
