Laview PDB1520F1 doorbell cam ONVIF RTSP URL
I recently set up Shinobi to replace an old NVR system, to support newer assorted cameras consisting of LaView, Amcrest, and Reolink brand cameras. While most of these are likely some re-brand of Dahua or Hikvision, it was still hard to find all the necessary information. The manuals are definitely lacking, even if some of them were written in plain English. The LaView PDB1520F1 was the hardest. It appears to be a re-brand of the Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP. There are several other brands that appear to be the same, such as the RCA HSDB1. When I tried to add the LaView doorbell to my Shinobi monitors list, it kept failing the probes no matter what I tried. I searched endlessly, but was using the wrong keywords. I kept seeing posts where people said to flash the LaView firmware ONTO the Hikvision or other re-branded cams in order to get the ONVIF stream. But I couldn't find the ONVIF details in those posts. First, I installed the ONVIF Device Manager 2.2 (freely available online).
