    A visit from Texas

    Thank you for the reply. So mostly for features I just want to be alerted for movement, night vision and/or a flood light and an ability to two way talk, most for front of house(nice to have but not necessary). A two way talk in the house would be fine too. the setup would be 1 in house camera...

    A New Doorbell

    If someone switches from a subscription fee device to one without, why the heck would this person use HA instead of the doorbell app ? He doesnt care about anything at first, so why should he now ? He will only see "free" and after the 10th missed call he will abandon the product and go back...

    Optimize and train Motion Detection and DS

    Blue Iris is great and works with probably more camera brands than most VMS programs, but there are brands that don't work well or not at all - Rings, Arlos, Nest, Some Zmodo cams use proprietary systems and cannot be used with Blue Iris, and for a lot of people Reolink doesn't work well either...

    Tips Reolink Camera Optimization - substreams

    Hi Guys, To get up to 15fps on the substream you would have to log in on the reolink app and set the Fluent setting to 15fps. I used to get 7fps too until I messed around with a lot of settings and finally did 640x480 fps15 and bitrate 384. That worked. Also if you are viewing from the web...

    Best *cheap* alternative to Reolink RLC-520?

    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 about. I have a cheapo camera for...

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

    While researching hikvision I stumbled on that site before i found this one. At the time I found his videos informative especially one about the importance of lens sizes along with other stuff. i think he was just starting to feature Reolink equipment at this time. He's not a bad presenter and...

    VLAN: You'll need a switch, router, firewall that supports VLAN's. As it relates to so called Mesh it should be noted the vast majority of people and vendors do not explain or use the term Mesh correctly - much less use it as intended! :banghead: A true Mesh system is assumed that three nodes...

    Is reolink a swear word here?

    Also their support is full of lies and they will stop answering you at a certain point. If you ask too much on their reddit sub how you can improve the image / why AI features are not as advertised / why you cannot change shutter/gain / why they removed features / why you cannot change iframe...

    Suddenly high CPU-load (configs and screenshots inside)

    I am at a loss as to what is going on, with 4 cameras at 15 FPS with that CPU you should be way under 20%. The only possible thing I can think of is only 8GB memory. Or the Reolink is causing problems. Go back to the last stable version of BI 5.4.9.18 and see if the CPU load comes down. Try...

    Aging computer problems, possible processor recommendations?, noob problems with Blue Iris

    Just to clarify you need 16 GB of ram not 16mb of memory right?

    Aging computer problems, possible processor recommendations?, noob problems with Blue Iris

    Reolink cameras are nearly useless with Blue Iris. There are 100s of post on there problems, particular at night. Reolink cameras do not adhere to the standards for cameras. Junk the reolink cameras if you are looking for security. Use a i7-6700 business computer with at least 16GB memory...

    Replacement for a camera dropping frames

    On your 3rd recommendation, the 5442 Z4E I could not find a single YouTube video demonstrating that particular model and even when I go to Dahua's website I could find no meaning for the prefix letters or any of the letters after. This is what I think this model is may be, but is it? I see...

    Ahhh .... Interesting. I will monitor that expecting to make the computer switch this next week. Ok .... I am studying and watching YouTube Videos on cameras and I am wondering if a varifocal like this would work? HDW2831T-ZS-S2 2.7~13.5mm 5X Motorized Varifocal Lens The center of...

    Replacement for a camera dropping frames

    BI does not interact with the camera that way to impact FPS and KEY. It simply takes what is given to it. The cheaper cameras play with the iframe rate to give a nice static image, but then you get the problems like you see where it misses motion. A KEY of .20 means that BI could take up to 5...

    Deepstack not detecting anything, how to debug?

    OK- Motion settings isn't the problem, you need to match FPS with iframe. So if you are running 15FPS, then the iframes need to be 15. But I see that many of your cameras are dropping down to 6 FPS and a KEY of 0.13. What FPS and iframes did you set in those cameras (if the camera even lets...

    BI CPU utilization and number of processor cores

    Hmmm ..... what program is generating these statistics? Within BI itself? It doesn't seem to be Blue Iris Tools.

    The most famous cameras that do this switching of FPS and iframes is 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...

    Neighbor wants what I have but that's not going to happen.

    In my opinion that is comparing apples vs oranges... - new NVR vs. 10 years old "refurbished" (someone took a cloth and wipe over) PC Who knows what happen to this guy in early life? Power supply maybe has swollen/leaking caps, some of these pre-lease machines (SFF) have proprietary power...

    DMSS and it's bugs - it drives me crazy!

    I suggest you do read on forum here. There are good reasons to not use account mode/imou life. Imou Life is a 100% spy app. It is not possible to use it without account mode AND the "more" important... you cannot add any ip device, you have to use their p2p cloud... just look up the concerns...

    DMSS and it's bugs - it drives me crazy!

    At least in account mode SMD/IVS notifications work for iPhone. In non-account mode it also works on Android. Yeah I'm wondering too. But they do develop, I see some updates the last months for iOs. Seems like they don't test their update. Does Reolink app work for Dahua devices? I tried by...

    DMSS and it's bugs - it drives me crazy!

    Dahua App/Smartpss does not support ivs/smd. They made a modding to get notifications somehow working, but it doesnt. This is not new and no one cares on dahua. Hikvision cares a bit more because distributors seems to push them to do better. Hikvision app has somehow the same problems.. some...

    Hikvision motion detection and push notifications

    Hello, I have a DS-7616NI-K1 (B) running V4.30.085 build 210409. I’ve got a mix of Reolink E1 Zooms and HWC-C120 cams. The older v3 firmware allowed me to use motion detection with the Reolink cams but since the v4 firmware, all I get is an illegal function when trying to activate/deactivate...

    I have no idea if he is paid for such reviews or not - he claims he is not, and it may or may not be the case. We really can not prove this. He also mentioned Andy's cameras, and recommended them as well - but I do not think he is getting paid by Andy. I see your point about telling more about...
