    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hey Doorbell Man... funny to hear I'm not the only one who picks up knick names associated with a pastime. Years ago I was a frequent contributor and part time moderator on a espresso coffee forum for many years (my wife and family frequently referred to me as Coffee Boy. Congrats on your...

    Door bell dilemma

    Just be aware Reolink only supports their doorbell when used with a Reolink NVR. The 4108HS-8P-4ks NVR you are considering has features like face detection, perimeter protection, IVS, people counting, heat map etc, which may or may work not work when used in conjunction with the Reolink DB. I'm...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Yep... I mentioned the same complaint last week. I shimmed mine and it doesn't look too bad, and I decided it's doubtful any visitor will notice. Unfortunately even adding a top to bottom 1/4" tilt I still see too much overhead for my liking. One option I played with is I can zoom in via my NVR...

    https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-reolink-wired-poe-doorbell-cam.66073/page-32#post-765041 FYI... when originally perusing 3D printed mounting plates I noticed in addition to ordering different angles (which is understandable) some designs also included varying degrees of able "tilt". I don't...

    Good News (for me anyway)! Anyone following my video lag / delay problem first reported last week knows I've tried a lot of suggestions from other forum members. Yesterday in desperation I applied the most current firmware update (i.e. V2017) and the lag is gone! I wanted to wait 24 hours...

    Afraid I can't be of much use. Like you I also do not subscribe to the cloud but its because I have a Lorex NVR. I also remote view my cameras on an Android phone but I do it via a Lorex app. That said, I don't believe what you are describing is Reolink Rich Notification per se... supposedly...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Wow... good catch... I "assumed" when bmcgin said the file was emailed to him by Reolink support... and since I saw W2017 in the link title... that it would be the same release / patches / bug fixes. I didn't notice his link was for the WiFi version but I didn't use it because I had I download...

    Just for grins... (still trying to fix my video lag problem) I went ahead and installed firmware update V2017_POE. Went very smooth. No problems. Now waiting to see if one of their many bug fixes does the trick...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks David... I forgot about that one! As I recall V1572 was sent out by Reolink Support (when requested) and was to fix RTSP streams. As long as we're digging up firmware versions I figured Id try to net them all out here. If anyone knows of any versions or corrections I missed please let me...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Still no joy... :( Yes... the problem occurs when connected to my NVR. The lag does not present itself when connected to my network router via a POE injector. Once connected to the NVR the lag starts to accumulate over time. In the NVR settings I've changed the bitrate and FPS from ideal...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    As mention in my last post, I knocked the FPS down to 18 and left a newly fomatted 2GB gb SD card in it. This morning the lag was still there, display video at least 20 seconds behind the action. Granted the 2GB card is pretty old so today I dug through my stash and found one of these so I stuck...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Yes... I put a 2GB one in... to see if that would fix the issue but it keeps saying it can't find it. Never mind... formatted the drive all is good. Is there a recommended minimum for the SD. I wasn't planning on using one since everything is recorded on the NVR. Okay... I removed the SD card...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Not a adjustable setting with the NVR software so I'm guessing you mean he Reolink Client... let me check. Any suggestions as to what I should set them at? (say 5Mbps if bitrate is encoded H.264 or 2.5Mbps at H.265?) FPS? Don't know what this cameras is capable of. Current settings are Stream...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    New problem. The video feed from my Reolink DB has a delay that grows progressively with time. Example: If I "reset" my Lorex NVR the video feed from my DB camera displayed on my monitor has about a half second delay (not real time but no big deal) However, after a hour or so the delay grows to...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Very true... which is why I assigned the Reolink DB Port Three... as it was already named Doorbell because it's where my old YouSee doorbell was assigned. I still have 3 cameras in boxes that need to be installed, cables run etc, Years ago I was planning on going with Blue Iris but walking thru...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    When I plug a new camera into the NVR it is automatically recognized. The NVR assigns any new camera additions an IP address and port (and does so until all the the availaable ports are occupied). It even assigns each camera a default name (typically Camera 1, Camera 2 and so on) The only thing...

    Dang... I thought I had the time click issue resolved. Everything looks fine when exiting Reolink Client but for some reason the DB time clock keeps resetting itself to one hour earlier than the actual time. (no issues with the date displayed) I've confirmed the Reolink DB client, my Lorex NVR...

    Hi David... Lorex NVR UPDATE Thanks to the excellent response in your thread SETTING UP REOLINK DOORBELL FOR FIRST TIME I was able to get my Reolink DB up and running on my Lorex NVR. NET: After making multiple attempts to configure my NVR so it would recognize the DB I gave up and purchased...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hi David, Thanks for the info. When I have my DB set up and connected to my NVR and the network, my NVR acknowledges the camera but displays no video. My NVR is a POE (25 Watt p/port) so I was thinking I could avoid the expense of an injector. However, you identified Reolink state the IP...

    Just checked... ONVIF turned on and RTSP port set to Self-adaptation. No luck yet. FYI:Other POE cameras like the Vonnision 5MP POE IP Security Mini Hidden Camera (via Amazon) also worked right out of the box... plug and play.

    I wish that was the case. Plugged the Reolink POE it into my Lorex NVR and nothing, no image. It lights and chimes but can't get the camera to display an image (although have had no real time to troubleshoot). Hopefully will get a chance to trouble shoot later this week. FYI: Plain vanilla out...

    Handling the resolution shouldn't be a problem. Specs on my Lorex NVR - Model N861D63 -16-Channel - Recording resolution 4K (8MP)/5MP/4MP/3MP/1080p/720p. FYI: I contacted Reolink to see if I could use their doorbell with my Lorex NVR and no big surprise... they said "No" they don't support...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Was wondering if anyone knows "if" this doorbell will work with my 16 channel Lorex NVR. Several years ago I sucessfully installed a Yoo-See SD-M5 video doorbell and connnectd to my Lorex NVR via a Ubiquiti 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter. The SD-m5 works pretty good but I was hoping to upgrade...
