    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Personally I would configure it at home on your workbench leaving the firmware alone then updating to the Hikvision firmware. On the workbench just attach a power cord to an AC doorbell transformer (buy it from Amazon then return it once you have completed your testing).

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Welcome to IPCamTalk @noparking247. It should work. Personally took mine off the internet and switched it to older Hikvision firmware. It still works fine here. I did test it initially and the audio functions worked. Nelly's Security NSC-DB2 NDB313-W V5.2.4 HikVision FW build 200321...

    Hello and thanks from Indiana

    We just moved from Illinois to Indiana and had some kitchen cabinet work a couple of months ago. The guy did a great job with the kitchen cabinet modifications at a reasonable cost. The guy doing the cabinet work had a few cameras up where he hunted near by and kept looking at alerts from his...

    Why I hate phones...

    Here too leave the phone off unless I am in the automobile. I also use Google voice and only give that number out as a cell phone. Only read texts when using Google mail. Never been tethered to any of my cell phones for work or play.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Great news. Interesting I have been using Google AI too here. Most of it though is from here on the forum. Thinking my spontaneous change to AP mode was due to taxing the CPU on the Video Doorbell. I use Ruckus AP's here and have three where as I only really need one. What was happening was...

    So set the SSID and password to your home WAP initially using DHCP. Also change the admin password and create a new user. Rebooting it will connect to your home WAP. Here used a Lenova Tiny running WIndows 2016 server. It has a WLAN card and it is connected to the LAN via Ethernet port. I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    There is a referral to an article here in the forum posts above as to why the DB goes to AP mode. For me it was too many calls to the DB to my touchscreens. Now using a proxy and do not get any resets. I saved the password here and IP under batch configuration as it is always the same to...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So I infer from your elaboration that you are managing user additions from the "bottom" section of batch config. For further clarity I enclose photos of my Batch Config Tool showing what my understanding of your explanation is. So the user adds are from the top section. I just registered the...
