For anyone else with the same issue, the solution was to sell the (a) model and buy the (c) model. I can't speak the for (b) model but as confirmed by @JB1970, the (c) model does allow for recording to NVR while maintaining full 2-way audio.

Thanks very much for testing that for me. Looks like I'll be selling my 6113(a) for a 6113(c).

Thanks for helping debug @JB1970. After going back and forth with Hik, we've pin pointed the issue to the fact that the 6113 doorbell unit is recording to an NVR. When I took the doorbell out of the NVR (not physically, just the config for it) - the speech was clear again. Are you able to...

Looks like you have the newest version of the 6113. I have the very original version, running the latest firmware for that original version. I have adjusted the volumes. No difference at all. Starting to think I have a faulty unit. It's always been this way but just never had the chance to...

I just tested different configurations of the video/audio settings - nothing makes any difference whatsoever.

Thanks for sharing that. I don't have the indoor unit in use, I should have specified that. Calls go from the 6113 to any mobile device logged into HikConnect. Interestingly, the bad sound issue only occurs when two-way audio is enabled/a call. If I just listen to the incoming audio from the...

Has anyone else encountered an issue whereby the DS-KV6113-WPE1 has very bad incoming audio quality? I cannot understand anyone at the door but they can hear me very well. I have this device hooked up to POE - into a switch then about a 20m ethernet cable to a Ubiquiti router.

Asked a wholesaler and he said they probably need to be plugged in. Hopefully, this helps someone else.

Thanks. Do you know if they have to be plugged in at the time of the password reset?

I'm taking over an NVR for a new client who has moved into their new house and doesn't know the password to their NVR. I have set the NVR up on my test bench at home in order to reset the password but I'm wondering if I do so, will I need to take down the cameras and reset the passwords of the...

You can definitely get those static IP sims. I have a bit of experience having worked with one in the last 12 months. As for the Raspberry Pi, this thread might be of interest...

Got it. I'm thinking your only option might be to obtain a static IP sim card. They're obviously more expensive than a regular data sim but I can't think of any other way of making this work.

Can you confirm the NVR in question is Hikvision? If so, have you tried setting DDNS on the NVR?

An easy way to find the latest firmware for a hik camera is simply to google the model, find the hik result for that camera, scroll to the end and you will see the latest firmware listed. E.g., for your second camera listed - DS-2CD2121G0-I(W)(S)

Yes, it will ring all devices logged into the HikConnect account. As for wiring into existing doorbell chimes - I know there were some older hikvision doorbells that supported this. Not sure if this model does. Yes. The monitor rings.

I think I might not have been clear when explaining, I was responding to @Sonic007 when explaining the false alarms as a result of using a camera as a doorbell, with line cross detection for example. No false alarms with the doorbell option, you only get a notification/call when someone presses...

Fair point, except not so applicable to big families in which people enter and exit frequently and you don't want false doorbell alarms.

Yes, phone is relied upon - you receive a phone call when the button is pressed. If you have an apple watch, it also goes through to that. Works pretty well. You can actually purchase just the door station on its own. No need for the monitor unit. Also other devices in the house ring, like iPad.

I have exactly this setup - KIS603-P and can confirm it works well. I have the doorbell hardwired directly into a POE switch then it is added to the NVR and set to record continuously. The doorbell is a separate device in HikConnect, although it can be viewed as a regular channel of the NVR...

HI @AdErm, I could be wrong but it looks like you have not tightened the gland (which you refer to as 'inlet'). If you spin the nut part of the gland up further towards the base, you will be able to tighten the main gland part and as a result, the rubber seal will constrict make a tight seal.
