Thanks Ford, The RCA you mention is it the same as this one: EZVIZ - a global smart home security brand
Can you still access the rtsp/rtp stream on the newer model?

Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

- Start date
Yes, the stream is accessible. See this thread for the trials and tribulations as forum members figured the hardware out.
New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera
This firmware works. I installed it today and everything seems exactly the same as far as web interface and operation. I imagine they fixed "bugs" but no way to tell until (or if ever) there's a release log.
Let me know if anyone else gets a chance to test it out and if it resolves any issues for you.

I installed Carbon ROM on my Nexus 6 phone 2 days ago. It's Android 8.1 I have used many ROMs on many phone, and this Carbon is perfect. Android Pie 9.0 sucks ass with what they did to the volume controls. And none of the Pie ROMs work too well. Have not tried the Carbon Pie though.
I figured out the notifications from the Uniden One app.
I get all notifications now every time the doorbell is rang. But, only if the phone is unlocked. I have a pin lock after 10 minutes.
So if the screen is locked, I get nothing. No sounds or notifications. When it is not locked and the screen is off, the doorbell call screen appears everytime and I can answer the doorbell and have a 2 way.

for my LTS version, it did not change the branding and it did not set the password back to default.
However, as a rule, I always do a factory restore after firmware updates and of course that set the password back to default.
Before I did the firmware update, I deleted the doorbell camera from my Hik-Connect account.
After the firmware update and factory restore, I set the password through the webui sign-on just like I would for my other Hikvision cameras...
Then after I have successfully signed on through webui, I reattach to my Hik-Connect account.
I'm sure not all these steps are necessary, it's just my craziness kicking in...

I finally got around to checking and I have a 16V 10VA transformer. Will replacing it with a more powerful transformer help with the weak wifi reception? Aside from when I initially installed it, I don't seem to have issues with rebooting.

I have just installed the 180809, I have not yet noticed any differences. The only issue I was having with the previous firmware was button press notifications were hit or miss when my screen was locked...

I could be wrong but I doubt it will help the wifi signal at all. You will probably have better luck installing a wifi extender and then connecting the doorbell to it, have you tried that yet?
Yeah I tried one temporarily and it helped a little. Kind of annoying since the AP sits directly above the doorbell on the next floor. Guess I'll go out and get a permeant repeater.
@dummptyhummpty Are you using a modem+router combo only or is there a router in front of your modem/combo?
Modem (Fios) -> Ubiquiti EdgeRouter -> Ubiquiti UniFi AP. I have an ethernet jack in a room closer to the DoorBell, so I'll probably just add something there.
Just in case anyone else wants to schedule a reboot of the doorbell camera, this is what I am using to reboot it:
curl -X PUT --user admin
assword http://192.168.0.64/ISAPI/System/reboot
and if you want to reboot the rest of your Hikvision cameras, the path is http://192.168.0.64/System/reboot.
On the newer (5.5.x) firmware, you have to go into:
Network>AdvanceSettings>Integration Protocol
Enable Hikvision-CGI (checked)
Enable Hikvision-CGI Authentication(digest/basic)

I replaced my 16V10VA with a 16V30VA a couple of hours ago. To my surprise, the wifi level reported on the Ubiquiti Unifi controller increased a few dB from previous readings. Same AP. Nothing else changed. I will continue to watch it to see if it remains at the higher level.
Someone identified what looks like an IC here: Identify unknown SMD component code A6530 72130
Looks like a type of fuse.
Google results indicate it's a "High Speed Protector" as described below, an excerpt from this datasheet.
"....The Bourns TBU ™ -CA Series of High Speed Protectors are low capacitance single bidirectional high speed protection components constructed using MOSFET semiconductor technology and designed to protect against faults caused by short circuits, AC power cross, induction, and lightning surges. The Bourns TBU-CA High Speed Protector placed in the system circuit will monitor the current with the MOSFET detection circuit triggering to provide an effective barrier behind which sensitive electronics will not be exposed to large voltages or currents during surge events. The Bourns-CA TBU is provided in a surface mount DFN package and is ideal for a variety of applications, including voice / VDSL cards, protection modules / dongles, process control equipment, test and measurement equipment, and general electronics. The Bourns TBU ™ series is the first new approach to circuit protection in a decade and the winner of . These devices provide an effective barrier in nanoseconds by blocking a transient through a current disconnecting mechanism rather than diverting or shunting the surge to ground."
