    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I did a power up test on my RCA VDB with my switch (catalyst 3750G-48 managed POE) with no problem in manual power/port mode. This was tested with the VDB ONLY, no chime. I plan to hook it back up to the switch as soon as I get a working wireless chime I like to replace the mechanical...

    Your right, holding reset when you turn the power back on is what reset your password. This is how you can UNBrick (solid or flashing red light) as well. You can even rename any firmware file you wish to flash and put that on the SD card and flash that way if your having problems (HUGE help...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Ya, a lot of them spring like connections in this thing, When I had mine on the 24v transformer on hot days my unit would power off then out of the blue power back on. If you check out the PCBs you will see even more of them little retaining clip spring like things every where. The last...

    When BC is logged into the DBs AP it should show your DB in the bottom window. If not hit refresh till it does. After that on the TOP click ADD and use the IP that is listed in the bottom window. After you add click refresh again and now in the top window it should show a device. On the...

    Your right again but it does NOT matter. In BC click on network then wifi and select you HOME wifi. SAVE and exit BC. give it about 30sec then start your app with you device your running it on connected to your same home network. It should find your DB and skip the network setup and jump to the...

    Your right, what ever the AP name is will be the L/P with the SN/Verification code on the end. Login=APName_S# Password=APName_vercode "caps matter" I think you may just be missing the caps. If not I would do a reset again. What reset did you do, just holding reset down or...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    If you change the setting to NO CHIME it will NOT trigger an "electronic" chime and nothing else you have to change. The power kit is NOT needed but you can leave it installed if you like. What electronic chime do you have setup and working with your DB right now? The so called "resistor"...

    That is the identical problem I had when my DB was getting so hot It was rebooting on hot days and the SDCard was getting so hot I could not hold it in my hand. I think the heat was killing the SDCards. Not a lot of info on how to bring temps down if your having problems though. I have...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    networking / wifi Why are you looking for the SSID? You can do the network setup in BC ( instead of the DB App ) and skip all that crap if your renaming just to get the app to find it.

    What build of BC are you messing with and what OS? I could see this being a problem if your running it on an old laptop / video card that is running 800x600 rez perhaps. If you have one that is still working :p

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    My RCA was doing this and stopped after I replace the SDCard with a new high-end (3x the price) SDCard. The "card needs initialized" msges have stopped with no more problems for about 8 or 9 months now. The odd thing is that the old SDCard works fine in my desktop PC. I can do a full format...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    If your talking about the AP password for the doorbell it is the verification code. Its 6 UPPERCASE letters You CAN change this password in BC, If you did change it before you can REMOVE power (1 of the wires) from the back of the DoorBell. WAIT for all the leds to go out (could take...

    Nope, Thanks for the info!! Wish I seen this before ripping mine apart. lol The thermal pads in this look diff from what I found in my RCA but every thing else seem the same from first glance. Update 1 The heatsink in this one is MUCH smaller then what is in mine. (RCA) I see this one...

    I would wait for some one who knows more about monocle to chime in. I know monocle can grab a video stream from BlueIris (newest update just added this) for IoTs. That is about all I know about monocle. I know monocle can access cams in a diff way because some have talked about editing...

    Most do NOT give a crap about the app so much. Like you they use BlueIris or a NVR recorder or plugged into a home alarm system. ALL the apps are more or less a COPY of the same code. They all just slapped a diff logo at startup and that is about it. EZVIZ in some of the new...

    When you ADDED the VDB to the app did you set the CHIME to mechanical ? What APP did you setup with and what kind of chime do you have? ( I was guessing mechanical )

    The metal plate is NOT close to the INTERNAL batt. It has plastic on the INSIDE as well that isolates it from the inside. Only some of the metal can be seen from the mid point up to the top with STICKY heat pads on it. The back only has a speaker with 2 wires, them 2 wires are the ONLY...

    Wow, its NOT an option in the ezviz app, I had to REMOVE the device then ADD it again to get to that option. Click on the SAVE CODE before you remove if you do not wish to type in the PW/6 Dig Code.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The RCA app does have this option when you click on the gear for the settings. I thought the ezviz app did as well so please check again. If you still do not find it just REMOVE the device from the app then add it back. It will still be on your wifi, but it will ask you to do the user setup...

    For anyone who cares more about the facts then just trying to prove they are right or know more then anyone else here is what we now KNOW AS FACT The top screw on the back where you input the AC power from the transformer in your house goes directly to a Diode Package / rectifier and lets call...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for the info, this is more or less what I was thinking was going on. The higher the voltage input the more the 5vdc or 3.3vdc reg (I assume) has to dissipate as heat to bring the voltage down for the internals to run on.

    Yes, regardless of what volts you decide to go with having only 8va is very low. I do not think this is the problem though, low VA tends to work just fine till you push the button and the chime trys to ring. That is when a low VA will reboot your VDB. Dumb question, I may have missed it...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I could be wrong but if I remember right the EZVIZ app has a gear icon you can tap to go into the settings and get to that option. I did not use it much I ended up going with the RCA DB with Hik FW and the RCA app. The RCA app was ALOT like the EZVIZ app and I could swear it had the same...

    Only 8va, that is really low for power. I do not think that is enough power for the VDB and a mechanical chime box.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I was thinking the same thing in terms of the voltage converter is hotter with more voltage but I do not know enough to say what is going on. What I do know is when I got my VDB I picked up a 16v 40va trans and it ran so hot it would reboot on hot days about every 10min. It would be...
