    Best *cheap* alternative to Reolink RLC-520?

    So, I made what might have been a mistake, and bought 8 Reolink RLC-520s on Amazon today. At $38/ea, they just kind of screamed "buy me!" so I did. And then I started reading more about them... My use case is kind of an easy one - I have a 12 y/o who likes to take things that aren't his from...

    Reolink RLC-410-5MP streams out-of-sync

    8x Reolink RLC-410-5MP cameras were purchased to replace 8x 2MP Jovision POE cameras. However, BlueIris has never been the same again. Though the picture quality is better, everything else is problematic. Motion isn't detected properly. Playback is erratic. Triggers fire too late or not even at...

    How is Reolink App cellular access possible?

    I have just plugged a Reolink camera into my router and downloaded the Reolink app to my Android device. As expected I can access the camera from the app while my device is connected to the same LAN as the camera. But to my surprise the camera is also accessable over Cellular, with Wifi...

    Is reolink a swear word here?

    Before finding this group, I spent a fair amount of time researching a budget friendly camera system and came across Reolink. Seems like there is so much negativity about Reolink here. I purchased the RLK8-420D4-5MP system, ran my own CAT6 wire. Im getting to the stage where I can close things...

    Noob here. Is Reolink really this bad or am I stupid?

    Some video samples of moving vehicles from RLC-510A video shot with default Reolink app settings and recorded on PC connected to the cam through PoE injector and Ethernet cable. Is it even possible to get readable license plates with this cam (record to SD card instead and/or tweak settings)...

    Another 820a Reolink purchase regret post, what are the alternatives?

    ...videos from all over i stumbled on the hookups channel and he sold me, hook line and sinker, on his best blue iris cam setup.. the dreaded reolinks (820a). Even after watching his "before you buy reolink" vids it's essentially a non-apology and justification for his highly misleading glowing...

    Is there anyone using day/night schedule that automatically changes when camera ir is turned on/off? I realized that I need different sensivity for motion detection at days and nights and think I will create a script that polls status of ir from the cameras but maybe someone have a better...

    Like many others on here, I made the mistake of purchasing a full set of Reolink cameras (mixture of RLC-820a and RLC-520a) to use with Blue Iris. I chose the Reolink cameras based on recommendations from 2 popular YouTubers, and while the quality of the cameras out of the box are acceptable to...

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    If I may ask.... 1) Does any one use a Reolink PTZ and can they get optical zoom working through BI. 2) For those using a camera to monitor wildlife. Do you camouflage the camera - that big white bulb is an obvious scare-baby! I was considering using strips of black ducktape, zebra-like...

    Help with Reolink RTSP Substream

    I have 10 Reolink RLC-410 cameras. I know that they don't have the best reputation for IP cameras, but they were what my builder included in their "technology package" and it's what I have wired and configured so far.

If I remove the substream, the main stream frame rate picks...
