    Issue with multiple Reolink cameras and BI causing image corruption/smearing

    I bought one of their bullet cameras over a year ago to try it out and had all sorts of issues with the camera losing connectivity all the time. I asked them if there was a firmware upgrade and they asked me why I would need one. Right then I knew they were full of BS... and so is the camera...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE stopped working

    Now that I know I don't have to use the splitter - everything will fit in there! I thought it would fit the splitter and it didn't... but now everything will be totally wrapped and hidden. :-)

    I have a POE switch. So are you saying that I don't need the splitter and can plug the cat6 cable directly into the cable port for the camera? I thought one had to split it to provide the power to the camera at that point.

    Thanks Andy! I'm good to go... see above for the problem.

    So it turns out that some moisture did get into the splitter that takes the power to the camera. I put a new splitter in and everything is working again. See the attached pictures for the camera placement, camera connectors, splitter that plugs into the camera connectors, and then the splitter...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE stopped working

    It's going to have to wait until the weekend to take a picture of the connection - since I leave when it's dark and come home when it's dark. It's under an eave located above my garage door. Yeah, I misspoke - I typed router but meant switch. The cable was purchased - not built, so no...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE stopped working

    POE for power - tried all 4 ports on the router. My next step is to try another POE router to see if that will work... last step is the external adapter that injects power to the line.

    Andy, The camera I purchased from you on Amazon just stopped working the other day. I purchased it on September 2, 2018 and it has been working flawlessly until 3 days ago. I've tried unplugging it, restarting it, and nothing seems to work. Do you (or anyone else) have any suggestions? -Derek

    4.8.0 - September 10, 2018

    Thanks I appreciate the offer. I found an FTP site that had the 4.7.6.10 version from 8/15 available and installed it. I've started receiving alerts again - thankfully! I've also installed that updatehelper service which will save off the older versions.

    Thanks. I just unchecked the "Apply updates automatically" option. Where can I find the update prior to 4.8.0?

    4.8.0 - September 10, 2018

    Mine just automatically upgraded to 4.8.1 sometime today and I stopped getting email notifications of triggers... that's no good! I've rebooted the PC and hopefully that fixes the issue. The last alerts I got were around 11:15am and nothing since then - I know our dog walker came by at 1pm to...
