Are all the cams recording 24/7? If so, and you NEVER get ANY dropouts or skips I'd head for Las Vegas or Atlantic City with some cash and place a few bets....:cool:

Hmmm.. I have 67 household wifi devices along with the Reolink doorbell going to my 5 year old Netgear 2.4g router all on the same SSID and zero problems with the doorbell feed running on Blue Iris along with 17 other IP cameras also :) . Granted most are light switch's and outlets , printers...

Not entirely accurate, Dahua is professional class security surveillance equipment like HikVision, Axis, Avigilon etc. Although Dahua and HikVision have some consumer lines of products, they cannot be compared to Reolink or Ring, as Reolink and Ring are consumer / DIY grade products and do not...

Dahua App will be always a pain in the ass. Mostly updates will make it worse. This is known for years and here are several threads about this. Dahua will never be as smart as Ring, Reolink or even Hikvision. They dont care, dont listen and give a shit on consumers. For professional installers...

When we moved in July it has taken all these months for me to get the DB installed and BI back online at our new home. Anyway, I ran the original firmware on the DB with no problems. I just installed Reolink Discovery in Home Assistant since JimStar is no longer supporting his Reolink project...

Make both main and sub H264. Probably not the problem, but having them different causes other problems.

Thank you for the information. The reason I have a Reolink is that I thought I saw them recommended on this site. I am more than willing to send it back and get something else. I have to have a PoE camera, preferably a bullet, that I can connect via a powerline adapter; cannot run ethernet and...

First, you can list the private LAN IP addresses as it does not tell anyone anything - they are the same as everyone else. The IP address of your service provider for your WAN is what you don't provide...Everything on the inside past the modem is fine to put out. Everything on the inside, the...

It is well known that BI and Reolinks do not work well together, but the same principles applies for almost any low end consumer grade camera. It is just Reolinks is one of the more consumer end cameras people buy and come to this site as to why it is pointed out often about. I have a cheapo...

Gotcha. Weill we will see tomorrow how it does. I think I have a spart POE switch. I need to check tonight and see what kind of power it puts out.Hopefully 15w per port and I will be ok. I think I have the swithc maxed out where this cable will need to run, so I will either need to piggyback the...

If I remember correctly the Reolink retained its correct aspect ratio. The AMcrest NVR, which I initially had and sent back when I move to BI supported Amcrest cameras with differing aspect ratios. Thus i was equally able to display the Duo2 correctly. I have to say that the Amcrest NVR did...

Welcome! Glad you didn't fall for the Reolinks, but you still have some to learn. 4MP is the sweet spot for surveillance cameras. The problem folks are finding out with the 4K full color type cameras is that the area of focus is a small area and anything before and after the distance is...

Hi @mike32162 So the questions are: 1) Build. It's going in the home entertainment cabinet. Silence (and obviously performance) are high priorities. Am I better off with an 8th gen i7-8700 optiplex SFF or a newer mini-pc type (like an 11th gen but mobile type chip)? In either case, I plan on...

True it has the larger sensor, but their firmware/algorithm is still favoring a bright static image. While it is on the proper MP/sensor ratio (4MP on a 1/1.8" sensor) with a large f1.0 aperture, at $100 it would be a steal if it worked like other full color cameras. Sadly, it appears to...

I am redoing my parents house. They have an old analogue system which has about bit the dust. After searching for a DVR (now NVR) replacement, i discovered the various issues of mix and match problems, expense, etc... and think Blue Iris is a better solution. That will let me RDP into the box to...

I understand. I wanted to buy either dahua or reolink NVR but from what I've heard they don't work with reolink (or dahua) cameras. The main thing I would want from NVR is storage though. Would this also present problems? What about just saving recordings to my pc (or an external hard drive...

The blue iris release notes tell you much of what you need to know. This is true of many reolink cameras regardless of the number of lens. The doorbell does appear to work fine. 5.7.9 - August 8, 2023 A new Reolink camera make/model option for RTSP main stream + FLV sub stream. As we battle...

I really appreciate all the suggestions and education on this matter. When we decided to start this project we did not think it would be this difficult. We decided to go and order the Loryta bullet ip cam you suggested and will install it in a few days. Since you recommended this camera, are...

Interesting, I’m already using my own self-signed certificates on my Synology without any further problems and I also put a certificate on the Reolink doorbell itself after reading the Reolink forum earlier. Still it didn’t work. (DS Cam on iOS or surveillance station WEB, didn’t try the desktop...

Hello - I'm a new member of the forum and would like to air some frustrations regarding remote mobile viewing of security cameras. In general, with many people, I dislike the idea of viewing my security camera live video feed using port forwarding, indeed any method which requires hole punching...

5.7.9.3 A new Reolink camera make/model option for RTSP main stream + FLV sub stream. As we battle with Reolink firmware reliability, this combination attempts to emulate the way in which their apps and web services work. These models are notorious for stability problems when multiple RTSP...

Yes! I have really learned alot from the members on this forum in the short time I've been here. Without their expertise I would still be in the dark , with Reolink Cameras hanging on my house trying to figure out how to get them to connect to Blue Iris.. I told my Husband the caneras are going...

I think most of us wasted quite a lot of money buying various brand of subpar cameras when we first started with home security while learning about them. People usually end up coming to ipcamtalk because we run into problems with cameras we bought and looking for answers online. And then as we...

Actually you can get a good quality system that isn't a Dahua combined with blue iris. I have a synology nvr which I found to much more solid. Ring, arlo are not what I am speaking about.

Yeah even in 2023, brand new cameras coming off the line are still requiring Internet Explorer and the plug-in in many instances. Some cameras are better than others, but IE is the standard if you don't want problems. Unfortunately Hikvision and Dahua make many of the other brands out there, so...

Video in question: Spoiler - graph of failure rates: Why is quality important? Also a mention about divided opinions on various forums. This video gives numbers on failure rates and opinion. Numbers don't lie unless they are a lie. A summary and quoting his opinion for each brand...

Hmmm noticed your Info says 202 instead of 200 I need to check file sizes. They look the same but could be different...

Hmmm, you know that is a WiFi Firmware.
