    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    @Shap YOU still not understand what the problem is. Hookup and other Youtuber gets paid with free products, making fake reviews and giving bad advices. People who trust this guys will waste money on shitty products and find out when its to late to return. Its OK if they talk about the problems...

    I made the Reolink mistake

    i think all this is somehow connected with the iframe interval. there must be a reason why they dont want that you change it. the footage is from a 820A , they uploaded it onto the amazon product page. its only fullhd but its enough. hedgehogs are fast but the problem is only on the dark...

    Intel i5 4590 + 8Gb RAM; will it be able to swing it?

    With the substreams option available and following every optimization wiki, a 4th generation can be a capable unit. A member here is running 50 cameras on a 4th generation at 30% CPU. With that said, you have the wrong cameras for Blue Iris. It isn't Blue Iris, it is the Reolink... Blue Iris...

    Getting started in the ipCam world

    You do bring up quite a few good points. For me I look at the camera's as part of a security system in it allows me to identify what is going on without me having to put myself into potential harms way. Like if I hear a commotion outside, I can see if it's someone trying to break into my...

    Getting started in the ipCam world

    :welcome: Remember, cameras are for surveillance, an alarm system is for security. Blue Iris, in the latest versions, has DeepStack capability/integration. Just install and click to get it going. How well it might work on the i5-6600 I can't say, but I had a lot of problems on an i7-6700 and...

    Getting started in the ipCam world

    Hi everyone. finally getting around to implementing that home security camera system I promised my wife 10 years ago. I will say I have an idea of what I want that seems to expand and change as I learn more. I do own Blue Iris software, and bought an older i5-6600 sff pc to run it on with 8gb...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    @Shap - are you sure they are working fine with BI? Please post your Cameras Status page from BI that shows your KEY, similar to this screenshot of a member here where they had set these cameras to 15FPS within the cameras (I suspect you will be missing motion that you do not know you are...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Thank you - an interesting point of view. Just a quick remarks from me on your points: 1) junction box - I did not plan to install one, just a direct mount. 2) you can not choose focal length... RLC-822A I mentioned is 2.8-12mm optical, so not an issue. 3) on the model i had installed...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I installed two Reolink systems for observing indoor shooting ranges a few years ago. They are connected to a raspberry pi aka surveillance monitor. They were bought for the same reason as you mention... they are cheap as hell and no night view is needed.... I thought... what can go wrong... the...

    Hello From Grand Cayman & It is Hurricane Season :(

    Thank you for your reply I feel much more comfortable now before purchasing my PC. :)

    Hello From Grand Cayman & It is Hurricane Season :(

    :welcome: That is way overkill for 12 cameras. An i7, 6th generation or newer will do the trick. Be prepared for problems with Reolink cameras and Blue Iris. I'm not saying you will have problems but it's more than likely you will. Reolink plays too many games with framer rate, iframe rate...

    5.4.9 - June 25, 2021

    My post pulled from the Reolinks discussion to discuss how BI determines motion and the importance of the FPS/iframe ratio: Blue Iris 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...

    That says it all right there and will not work... Blue Iris 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...

    DAHUA TiOC IVS misses human intrusions

    Hi @marfor Dahua, Hikvision, and even Reolink specs .. they all are flexible on their specs. Reolink, specs - it is even harder to get them pinned down on specs - so they're actually worse on specs and other issues ( as others have noted ). ALL security cameras have limits to their...

    DAHUA TiOC IVS misses human intrusions

    Fool go buy a go pro. You are the reason manufacturers don't sell to end users. Reolink is complete shit.

    DAHUA TiOC IVS misses human intrusions

    @marfor - Well then simply another case of operator error because these are not the appropriate cameras for Hollywood movies.... ;) And I will copy the relevant text into another appropriate thread so that someone following this one doesn't make the mistake of purchasing an 8MP TiOC. I didn't...

    Can't setup new Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-LU cameras - Hikvision told me they are region specific and they can't help me

    You are lucky Hikvision even took your call! And yes many of us here buy from Andy with no problems using the cameras. He sells international cameras. Most of us here know that the Dahua and Hikvisions of the world do not cater to the "consumer" market - their target audience is professional...

    Available network topology options

    Yes, I was going to caveat that I should take his information with grain of salt. Ubiquiti obviously didn't pay him enough in the video I watched to tout them that hard... You make a great point about additional traffic through the switch, mirroring what holbs was eluding to. I think the switch...

    Available network topology options

    Keep in mind the hookup said that reolinks are great cameras, so consider what he says.... And plus whatever that dual NIC is the simplest and easiest way to go. Setting up VLANS has to be on a capable switch that can pass the data needed. The beauty of the dual NIC is not one bit of data...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS 3.6mm

    Yeah... set that option in gmail... have also tried yahoo (as someone on another post found worked), and outlook. Have tried all the different ssl combos... I'm either missing something or maybe there's a glitch in the cam software. Never had problems with other makes/models. Currently have...
