[The Source] Ezviz DB1 camera doorbell $99/$109

But if one answers the call the other keeps ringing. Is there anyway to fix this? I have not been able to find a setting.

1. DB1C IQ is slightly better but the difference is small, even at night.
2. DB1 has less false positives than DB1C - the PIR is important
3. DB1C is wider angle which I needed for my front door.
4. It is not possible to disable the ring on the DB1C itself but it is possible to disable it on the DB1. This is annoying to me.
5. DB1C emits a beep when it "detects" something and so far I have not found a way to disable this...

If I didn't need the wide angle I would have gone with two DB1's which IMO is a better product than DB1C.

I bought it From BestBuy and picked up within a hour. It took me 2 days and total around 3 hours to install it. (Should be easy, but I am not a handyman.) I set up with the original app and easy to use. The picture is not bad, and audio is much better than My Wyze Cam V2. The (audio in) surprise me, I can heard my next two houses neighbors were talking clearly @ their drive ways. On Ezviz website is showing (audio input: Ultra-HD; HD; Standard. Adaptive bit rate.) Not sure how is DB1?After all I am very satisfy.

Compare to my LG V20 wide camera 120 degrees @ the same spot. Huge difference (ceiling, floor, left and right.)

I was worry about the transformer from the chime, because my house is more than 30 years old. I am not sure how much power for the transformer. Lucky without any disconnect or issues.

#4 - I can disable the blue light on the ring.
#5 - I can disable the beep sound.
Maybe you need to update the latest firmware, mine is V5.3.0 build 201106.

I know is so hard to pick between these two models. They both has pros and cons.

But I cannot get it to chime with DB1. Looking at your photo, it seems you have connected the 2 white wires from the door chime and the outside (front door) white wire to the white wire on the wiring kit. Am I correct?

it does not mention all day recording at all
but I have installed 3 x DB1C
all have " all day " recording option

did you update to latest firmware? which is V5.3.0 build 201106

Keigotw wrote: ↑ #4 I know.
Where did you see the option for #5 ?

peter10111 wrote: ↑ Sorry for the confused, my 30 years old chime wires are all mess (wrong colour). Just like what Keigotw said, make sure which is Front and which is trans. Did your DB1 power up? If yes, that mean you are ok.

krist8 wrote: ↑ Db1 works, but not my house chime. I also switched transformer to 16v 30va. Followed the instructions. With or without the power kit, the db1 works, but never the door chime. The solenoid did not even buzz, only once for a short time. I suspect solenoid take too much current for the really thin wire of the power kit for it to work.
