    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).

    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...

    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...

    What I see in the directory for Batch Configuration is 3.0.2.3. When I am running it and look I see 3.0.2.6. I do have it registered on the bottom section of batch configuration. I do not add the user under the ONVIF configuration. I add it under the system user section.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thinking back ONVIF did not work until I enabled it with the batch configuration program. It was only an option on Batch Configuration 3.0.2.3. I did also use a Linux ONVIF editor which only partially worked. https://github.com/Quedale/OnvifDeviceManager

    Note running the above mentioned Batch Configuration will trigger an update on the application. Do not update. You will lose functionality. There is stuff hard coded in the firmware which cannot be changed.
