    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    What firmware and model doorbell are you using? I put the Hikvision firmware on the EZViz doorbell because I wanted RTSP and ONVIF and the doorbell with the EZViz firmware kept bouncing. I do not know why it kept boucing. I also locked myself out of the EZViz app. Went to using the Nelly app...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Googling... When a Mazda CX-30's speedometer acts strange (like upside down) after a battery change, it's usually an electrical glitch from the power interruption, fixable by resetting the infotainment system or the whole car, or adjusting the Active Driving Display settings in your owner's...

    Windows Remote Desktop Replacement?

    Here all of the "servers" are in the basement on a wire rack. You can utilize the old free version of VNC. Works well inside your network.

    Windows Remote Desktop Replacement?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    My motion sensor here is mostly cracked. Never used it much as it was very sensitive. It does get warm. That said it is working fine today. Thinking you asked on Cocoontech about ONVIF. There is software in Windows and Linux to check features. It is also part of the Home Assistant add on...
