    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I KNEW IT! lol Like I said, I'm waiting on a new Extender. I think your I-frame interval solved it though...! Seems to be good now on 2.4

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have about 5 camera on SSS and 16 on BI. I believe in redundancy when it comes to surveillance lol I just use SSS as a backup, I find BI easier to browse, playback, etc. Pictures? You want me to WORK now..? Aw, come on man...! lol Take my word, it's a stupid setup.

    I don't have any choice. I'm not going to remodel my front entrance for a $130 doorbell, believe me. lol DON'T WORRY, I won't try your guide without someone holding my hand. It's martian to me anyways.:confused: Good tip about synology giving two free licenses though. Thanks, but I used up my...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    There's a steel door AND a mirror between the repeater and the router. I get 100 signal but only on a 2.4 wifi network. If these had cat-6 connections instead of wifi, It'd be way better lol

    Dude, I'm so technically stupid, I don't even UNDERSTAND part of your guide. lol I see we have the same ezviz, though

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, that would explain it. lol Also it's behind a steel door and a large mirror on my front closet. An electrician told me mirrors block signals? Not at all surprised if a steel door does, too!

    So far so good on your I-frame settings...lets give it a day and see. Not fixing what isn't broke is plan A1. lol Boning my firmware is plan Z-99. haha

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I might have had the I-frame interval set too high. i knocked it down from 60 to 25 as per your settings...lets see if BI can keep up with that at 30fps...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I'm using BI5. I read your instructions for putting on hikvision firmware but I found it kind of scary. I like the idea of onvif, and I may take the plunge if BI keeps crapping out the db all the time on the higher settings, but I'm kind of scared and a little inexperienced, as we have seen.

    Too bad I didn't know that last year. I could have dropped some off in Bari, last August. Was there for 10 days...!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Agreed. What makes it truly excellent is this forum and all the helpful members. I believe that's what separates it from other doorbells.

    You guys have some pretty awesome syrups yourselves...but probably not a good maple one in comparison, agreed. lol I especially like some of your limoncello...excellent.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    OK! Just put in my mechanical chime....and it works. Someone might want to make a note, the NUTONE LA600WH IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the ezviz db1, despite what ezviz claims. However, the Heath Zenith SL-27102-02 is fully compatible. Thanks to all that contributed with suggestions, especially...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I tried everything to set it to the highest, but kept dropping out of BI. Not sure why. I suspect my connection. Only real explanation. 15fps seems to be the sweet spot. Waiting on another range extender to see if that will improve it. I also have a synology, but I'm debating on whether I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: I don't deal with Ezviz any more. I called them last week concerning the chime for the DB1 and they didn't even know what I was talking about, even after giving them their OWN WEBPAGE on the chime. I can't comprehend such incompetence so I'd rather not. Besides, the other poster tried that...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: I'm using a 24V 40VA transformer. The chime is a Nutone LA600WH. When I put a multimeter on it, WITH the power kit, it shows no voltage. When I take the power kit OFF, it shows voltage, but the chime continuously chimes. The Chime DOES work by itself. Faulty power-kit? I found someone else...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi: It goes deeper than that, I'm afraid. I had the same problem another user had, not being able to use remote configuration on Guarding vision. It just says connection failed. Then, the chime worked for about 3 minutes, but only if I DISCONNECTED the ezviz power doo-dad. Then it stopped...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sorry to be a nuisance here: Does anyone know how to ENABLE a frickin chime on the ezviz DB1..? I don't see any option in the app, or guarding vision on iphone? I just added a chime and there is no power to it. I'm sure it's wired correctly and my transformer is 24/40, so I'm not sure whats...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, I got exactly nowhere with them. I actually talked to someone on the phone and they had no idea what I was talking about, despite the chime being on their website. I even gave her the website address to verify and she had no idea it existed and had no record of it. I felt like I was in a...

    Where can I buy this in North America? Ezviz doesn't respond to emails.

    Try keeping the Video quality at maximum, but lowering the frame rate. I'd bet dollars to donuts that will solve it.

    Thanks for this: I was able to resurrect my DB1 following your instructions after a very frustrating couple of hours. Well written and easy to follow. Nice bacon-saving, Rafale...!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Good to know. Thanks again. The DB1 is now behaving mostly good. It still locks up sometimes but not EVERY time as before. I think now it's because of the wifi signal...it seems to have a hard time going through my walls...!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    THAT did it! You, SIR, are a steely-eyed Missile Man! Once I disabled onvif in BI (because EZVIZ doesn't support it), everything was fixed. THANK YOU. You just solved a 10 hour mystery. Very much appreciated for your suggestion.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    LOL this DB1 gets more and more weird with BI. Now I noticed if I start video in the ezviz app, the screen splits into three in BI, and shows three images. It has to be reset, then sometimes it goes to a closeup view of the very top portion of the image, necessitating ANOTHER reset on BI. I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yes I did. Thanks for the response. I can't believe no one else has seen this problem. As soon as anything gets too close to the camera, Blue iris locks up the ezviz cam and shows a connection loss. I have to reset it in BI then it's ok until the next intrusion SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! lol

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi again: Still having problems with blue iris on the ezviz db1. I checked the video on the app itself and there is no interruption of the video. What happens is that as soon as someone crosses my set perimeter on BI or perhaps the perimeter on the ezviz settings, the blue iris video seems to...

    Ok, I'll give that a shot and see if the clips have interruptions. Thanks for the reply.
