How to setup an IMOU DB61i Doorbell in order to get access to the RTSP streams and configuration API endpoints.

How to 'properly' configure an IMOU DB61i Doorbell

I had been looking for a doorbell which offers local RTSP streams for a very long time. Armcrest offered just that in its AD410 model since a couple of years. Only problem ... it was not available in Europe.

But a couple of weeks ago my eye caught the DB61i model of IMOU, which apparently shares the same internals as the Armcrest AD410 and the Dahua DH-DB6I, and which is pretty cheaply available in Europe. 🥳🚀

Using the provided IMOU Life app I wasn't able to get the configurability I craved. But since they shared the same internals, I figured maybe ... just maybe ... I could use the Dahua DMSS app (all apps are also clones).

Eureka! The DMSS app works flawlessly!
The Dahua app has one big difference in the device configuration flow: It allows you to set the device password. Which allows you to access the RTSP streams and
