Note as you have synology Nas.. remember they charge per camera after 2 iirc .. so for most of us other options become more cost effective once you consider the capabilities vs price

Welcome @Legolas84 1) "The features I would like are: 4K, input audio, recognition of people, cars, animals, recording only when it detects people, good color night vision considering that each camera will be accompanied by a LED light that will illuminate the area at night when it detects...

...sure to let folks know on my end to stay away from EmpireTec." I get it you are frustrated, yet .. Wow .. perhaps you should stop by the Reolink reddit or other CCTV forums .. You're now anti-This vendor because a bunch of people who DO NOT work or Represent that vendor posted comments...

We have numerous documentation on issues with Reolink cameras, firmware, as well as the company .. do see the various threads on Reolink where it is shown and documented ..

Reolink fans ?

...and ability to find reasonable prices ) 2) if going Blue Iris VMS on a PC or other VMS .. look for quality ONVIF spec cameras 3) Avoid Reolink NVRs .. they only seem to work with Reolink cameras, and those cameras perform poorly in low light due to affordable components they use .. ( see...

In general the Reolink Doorbell gets good reviews from members here compared to the alternatives .. unfortunately, this probably says a lot more about the options available .. For me, I have yet to find a Doorbell I really like ..

Great to have you here .. Note, I would probably keep the cloud camera stuff as an augmentation to a core IP PoE system ..

Can you ID this masked intruder ? this is a good example of the issues Reolink has with low light image capture of moving subjects ..

Hi @Leith1812 Reolink do have a large fan base, and given how affordable they are, I can appreciate it. However, the real question those fans fail to often address is "fit for purpose" and cost of installation / tco .. once you factor that in as well as other comparative measures - then you...

FYI - Reolink camera discussed, for reference

For future reference

Welcome @Tncatadjuster 1st determine what you wish to accomplish before you buy a complete set. I wasted a lot of time and money buying cameras which were "deals" recommended at another site that failed to do what I needed. Thus, I highly recommend getting : 1) ONE good 4MP 1/1.8" varifocal...

HI @jelf4352 Is this a Reolink camera ?

Yes .. and it is good to see Reolink produce more variations of models for customers .. OP also noted: Almost no light, 180 deg So the Reolink CX410 does not fit the FOV .. basically OP has a bit of thinking to do balancing requirements he has with what is available for the budget he has...

The Reolink CX410 with a 4MP 1/1.8" does better than the Reolink 8MP cameras .. still it's not as good as most of the Hikvision or Dahua OEM 4MP 1/1.8" sensor models members have reviewed ..

...and in low light conditions and not properly tuned have a higher issue with ghosting of the image .. ( for example what you see on many Reolink cameras ) If from day one you have seen ghosting issues .. it is probably not the lens, unless the foam seal was not doing it's job well enough from...

Thanks @thielsa That's a good video .. perhaps modify the title on this thread to include this description ( so that it would make it easier to find ) ( example .. perhaps include trouble shooting cable run in the title "Help Troubleshooting Camera/NVR Change" .. to "Help Troubleshooting...

do let us know what the issue turns out to be. ( note, this is one reason I like to run an extra cable to each position .. )

Hi @TechieNI Reolink and Wyze cameras .. if you can get both to produce an RTSP stream, then I would look for a 3rd party VMS on an PC solution .. note, not all Reolink cameras are able to produce a proper RTSP stream for 3rd party VMS solutions .. so double check the Reolink camera models...

Hi @Yucy W Chavez Why do you say Reolink is a good choice ? Do you have either ot the Reolink cameras you mention ?

Thanks @cylanoid I do agree with your recommendation that people who have Reolink products do fully try out the Reolink friendly return policy. "Reolink .. Their customer support is great, friendly return polices"

Welcome @harmandeep Remember to test your camera setup at night and see if you get the images and image quality you need. Normally Reolink cameras do very poorly in lower light conditions on moving subjects .. so test for that. What NVR / VMS software are you using ?

man, that is some horrible video capture .. Reolink ???

Did you try to set hikvision ivms as onvif for the channel and reolink to onvif ?

Hi @Cor K Dikland Have you read up on the issues Reolink reported to have with iFrames and Blus Iris ?

welcome @wings many members like Blue Iris .. seeing that you plan to have a mix of oem cameras, I would recommend looking at a decent PC ( not a mini ) and giving Blue Iris a try ..

...afford and an NVR than can take 2 .. and .. if possible when in low light conditions ( at "night" ) just capture 1 frame per second from the Reolinks as they really have issues capturing any good ID'able image under low light conditions for moving subjects. This should save you a lot of...

Go with Reolink NVR .. or try Blue Iris .. tho last I recall reolink still has compatibility issues with their onvif implementation and issues with i-frames

Hi @Papa Echo Most of us are not fans of reolink .. Basically advice would be to return them and get better cameras .. In case you can not .. and you really want to go NVR with them .. or best choice due to compatibility would be a Reolink NVR that can handle 8 channels .. ( since you have...
