It isn't Blue Iris, it is the Reolink... 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 out often...

First, in Blue Iris, you simply put in the IP address and username and password and hit the find/inspect key and Blue Iris will take care of the rest of finding ports, etc. Second, Reolinks do not work well with Blue Iris..if you can return them, do so! Blue Iris and Reolinks do not work well...

+1 on above! Wifi is problematic for surveillance cameras whether you use BI or not because they are always streaming and passing data. And the data demands go up with motion and then you lose signal. A lost packet and it has to resend. It can bring the whole network down if trying to use it...

Most of us if we have cameras with AI in them have found those to be superior (for the moment) than BI motion detection. Recent DeepStack integration helps, but motion detection can be a big CPU hog and if the cameras can perform it reliably, it lessens the load on the computer. Take a look at...

Thanks for putting up with long drawn out answers :rofl: Seriously, so many come here after buying the wrong camera or system, like Reolink, Wize, et al. Then get irritated when the problems with those brands are pointed out. You're doing it the right way. Glad to help.

Hi @bethzur Did you move the Amcrest cameras to a short good test cable and lose connectivity? The reason I note is the often emf can affect cable runs which are not done well, and I've seen issues on cable runs. So far my Amcrest, Dahua cameras are running well.

I have a Reolink dome camera in my garage. I've never had an issue with Blue Iris. I did upgrade the firmware. It was indeed cheap, but it was varifocal which I wanted. On the other hand, I have problems with Amcrest cameras. One is back for warranty service and the bullet one was replaced with...

I have posted this before. I did a wifi test a while back with multiple 2MP cameras each camera was set to VBR, 15 FPS, 15 Iframe, 3072kbs, h.264. Using a wifi analyzer I selected the least busy channel (1,6,11) on the 2.4 GHZ band and set up a separate SSID and access point. With 3 cameras...

Yep, just because someone on YouTube makes a video, they are the expert....who gets commission and views for recommendations... 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...

Doorbell cameras are still problematic. Many have instead gone with small dome wedges. A wifi camera will be problematic when you need it the most. 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...

I'll say it - - Reolink is crap. Don't waste your time, effort, and especially not your money. I'm one of those who ran into problems long ago with their cameras, and would not want anyone else to have that experience.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site, but I wanted to share a current experience I am having with the Reolink 810A Camera. I recently bought two of them (bullet style), and added them to my system. I'm running Blue Iris, current version, and I have 6 cameras, which I will expand to roughly 15...

If you can return them, do LOL. I highly doubt a firmware update will add iframes, so let's all be surprised... Please provide a quick video snippet of a nighttime video showing how these cameras are working out well. We have yet to have someone that says they work well or the video is...

Welcome to IPCT! :wave: Have you read this in the Wiki ? ==>> Troubleshooting Streaming Problems BTW, here's a great explanation of why Reolink cams and Blue Iris don't play well together, by member @wittaj ==>> HERE

Hello wittaj I‘ve only now discovered there’s a “deepstack” function and just roughly browsing this thread. I am always interested in reading your posts when I come across them but so far as I know, you have here a significant misconception. You are saying that the “key” in the BI Status...

I agree about the Reolinks, I have 4 RLC410W's (2 were free, long story) and I also recently got an Amcrest with adjustable keyframe intervals. The best you can do with them is NOT use substreams, because those are far worse with the .25 ratio compared to the .5 of the main stream. I...

It is worth pointing out in this thread the same issue that some folks will experience now that Deepstack is integrated with Blue Iris and thus people that have tried to use certain types of cameras with the other 3rd party apps are already aware of this, or will become aware of LOL: Here is...

And here is why Blue Iris and Reolinks do not work well together. This was a 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 missing....): Now look at they key - that is the iframes...

Let me give you an example as to why Blue Iris and Reolinks do not work well together. This was a screenshot of your Blue Iris status where they had set the cameras to 15FPS within the cameras (I suspect you are missing motion that you do not know you are missing....): Now look at they key...

Thanks for your opinion. HA does in fact work on the Reolink cameras. Without the HA my CPU will run at near 90%. I have been running this system for over two years and never had problems with "crappy video".

Thanks for the head up. I know you've probably done it a thousand times by now, still much appreciated. Already got the RMA for my 7 Reolink cameras and ordered an IPC-T5442T-ZE from Empire Tech last night(should be here today) and will try it out and see if I like it.

Not really adding anything here other than agreement with all of the above, reolinks are nice cameras but they are without question craptastic when used with BI. I wanted to upgrade a couple of my cheaper cameras and unknowingly bought a few reolinks. Nothing but issues.

Let me give you an example as to why Blue Iris and Reolinks do not work well together...just because you may have saw it on YouTube doesn't mean the person is an expert LOL....between paid testimonial from a camera manufacturer and ad revenue for hits...At least you found this site BEFORE...

We have many threads here, several just in the past two weeks, where someone followed this youtuber advice and got reolinks and now it won't work right and they came here looking for answers (and should have came here first LOL)... Let me give you an example as to why Blue Iris and Reolinks do...

Hi @CompleteSpud Q: "Thanks for the information, really helpful. I will keep researching. Is there any discussion on Blue Iris being updated to deal with the querks of Reolink cameras?" A: From a software engineering perspective, short answer: NO. Longer Answer: Attempting to code Blue Iris to...

Let me give you an example as to why Blue Iris and Reolinks do not work well together. This was a screenshot of a user's Blue Iris status where they had set the cameras to 15FPS within the cameras and they were missing motion: Even though they have set it for 15FPS, look at what the camera...
