Try Hik-Connect instead. It's the "branded" version of the app.Yes, the "clear defaults" button is grayed out. Also, when I try to set it as a default app, it doesn't show up in the listing of apps to change
The entire house probably belongs in that threadJeesh, if that's it, and it probably is, they wired it with phone quad and not 18/2. Kind of belongs in "The Wall of Shame" thread, too.
Any advice on how to proceed? I still need to find my volt meter.That 16v 10 VA transformer should be enough to power it (mine is running on the same size transformer). The wire size and your electrical chime may be the cause of the problem.
You can try hooking up the doorbell to the transformer (using the resister that came in the package, since there will be no chime in the loop) to ensure that it powers on. Your electrical chime may be the problem in the end, but need a volt meter to check what your getting at the door.Any advice on how to proceed? I still need to find my volt meter.

Talking about water...mine also gets exposed to water every time it rains. I get tons of motion notifications for the water that runs over the lens cover that bulges out. Has anyone figured out some kind of "visor" to protect it?No, mine has been directly been exposed to water and not had that happen.
It just needs to form a barrier above the lens. If you don't want to build something out of plastic or metal, you could probably glue a Lego with a similar shape on top of the doorbellTalking about water...mine also gets exposed to water every time it rains.

First thing I'd do is either re-wire the doorbell with 18/2 low voltage wire, or double or even triple up the number of conductors used in that phone quad. There's four pairs so you could use two pairs for each side of the feeds. The voltage loss with just a single pair, under the load of a mechanical doorbell, will play hell with the doorbell camera.Any advice on how to proceed? I still need to find my volt meter.

I was thinking about something a bit more classy than a glued-on lego brick, but thank for the ideaIt just needs to form a barrier above the lens. If you don't want to build something out of plastic or metal, you could probably glue a Lego with a similar shape on top of the doorbell

I also initially blamed my WiFi. I do believe this is a genuine software (firmware) bug though. I am finding I have to reboot the LAView doorbell cam on a weekly basis because of this behavior.Yes I have seen it, However, I thought it was issues with my wifi, because anytime I checked my 2.4ghz utilization was maxed. I recently, like yesterday, offloaded my wifi cameras including the bell to a seperate wifi AP on its own channel to hopefully resolve the issue. It's only been a day, but so far so good.
Sure, but if the WiFi access point is kept in the same spot, and after some days the camera slows down, and then doing nothing but restarting the camera fixes the slowdown, the cause must lie with the camera.Yeah, But the hik cubes and basically everything else has much better wifi than these doorbells. There are instances of people having to keep an AP plugged in right behind the bell for it to work properly.
