Hello, We have some strange problems with the folowin situation. We have dahua NVR with dahua IP cams ( over the network connected & with POE) and later added some reolink Cams added. These reolinks are connected with the ONVIF protocol on this dahua NVR. The responsable has 1 pc with smartPSS...

I hope it works well with BI, but I've never owned any Reolink cameras in the past. I always read they've historically had problems with BI, especially in terms of iframe control and fixed frame rate. I'm willing to give this one a try because there are so few hardwired PoE doorbell cams on the...

Thank you for the explaination. I thought I'd heard him mention something about not receiving any kickback and all that. And he put videos out showing what he says are direct comparisons of footage from various cameras, including night/low light, and the reolink appears to be very good in...

Reolink cameras and "The HookUp" are generally regarded as bottom of the barrel, crap cameras by most IPCT members due to the poor night quality and lack of control of critical settings in Reolink cameras, plus their non-standard video encoding. "The HookUp" is basically a shill for Reolink and...

This is the best option, I definitely understand that. It's an absolute bitch to run an entire additional cable from my router to where the camera is, so I'm trying to avoid that. What about just a standard outdoor switch, and then from there - get three PoE+ injectors for the individual...

...one more, for the Sunba by itself. Running splitters just isn't going to work out in the long run if at all. Alternately, if you have power near each camera simply get a 12VDC power brick for each camera and put them in a weatherproof box. I won't even get into the Sunba and Reolink problems.

Wow you have provided a lot of lessons learned here! Buy once, cry once. Don't cheap out as you will replace with better quality. Reolinks were a bad move. 8MP Amcrest is more than likely on a 1/3" sensor, which is a great sensor for 720P but horrible for 8MP. Do not update firmware unless...

I cheaped out and bought some reolink cameras...bad move. They work fine for the most part with BI but I have shadowing and reliability problems with them. I also have some 8mp Amcrest cameras that are much more reliable, but I don't really like them either. I had a hikvision bullet cam that was...

For reolink, your best bet is to use a reolink NVR. Reolink and BI have problems due to the industry standards not being followed with reolink...

Thanks, I'll read through this. I thought Blue Iris didn't work well with Windows 11 so it wasn't a thought... but I'll consider it. Thanks!

Avoid the Reolinks altogether unless all you care about is what time something happened and not be able to IDENTIFY who it was. Their quality is poor at night. Plus Reolink doesn't work well with Blue Iris. See this thread showing all the problems with Reolink quality and issues with Blue...

Thanks for your reply seba Thanks for your reply sebastiantombs Couple of points; Yes i've absolutely noticed that the Foscam camera's do not stick to the frame rate set. I access the camera's and set the frame rate to 15fps, but 10 minutes later, its back up to 30, which obviously the server...

Your CPU utilization seems kind of high for the number of cameras and the processor. You list memory utilization at 8GB and the amount of installed memory is 16GB. That seems kind of high as well. I run a mix of 2MP and 4MP cameras at relatively high bit rates on an i7-12700. CPU rarely gets...

Not putting me on the spot, I can talk about this all day LOL. So the first photo the guy was standing still but moving his arms, thus the missing hand. The next two samples, the whole body was moving, thus you see none of the body in image 2 and a barely there blur in image 3. How many perps...

Reolink plays games with their firmware. You may set a frame rate, but the firmware varies it and rarely, if ever, meets the rate you set. If you check the frame rates seen by your VMS, like Blue Iris, you ill see the frame rate is not what you set. Worse yet, they play games with the iframe...

Thanks for the suggestion, although I am not seeing any corrosion in the outdoor RJ45 plug (you can see it dangling there in the picture with my continuity tester attached.) Additionally the terminated end which is inside of the soffit is enclosed within Reolink's weatherproof connection...

Welcome @Hundefutter 1) The positions are too high for most useful functionality of potentially Identifying anyone ... you need to drop to about 2 meters high .. 2) Reolink is a very poor brand for a choice .. I recommend you take more time to determine your setup and cameras.

Hi! I'm looking for the best way to monitor my house. My plans are: 1x 360° PTZ Poe Cam (?) (mounted in 20 feet height, to monitor a 60 feet long/15 feet wide parking place. House entrance on one side and garage on the other side of the parking place - see painted picture below) 2x...

And it cost Reolink a full $100 for the cameras, but cost $500 for the cloud storage. Yes the night time images are great with 100% 3D noise reduction and plenty of light. With low light, it looks just like the wolf standing picture they already have. The Wyze donations are just the same...

Hi, new home new security system. I'm moving to a new house where I'll need 7-8 security cameras. In my current appartment all I need is a single IP camera, POE switch, Synology NAS and UPS. This system is pretty old (2013) and many things have changed so I face many new questions but first...

That's one of the problems with Reolink garbage, you can't set the Iframe correctly, which cause's blue iris to miss motion events. You can try using simple instead of Edge Vector. Any motion setup, you always must test and verify. Every FOV requires a different setup.

:welcome: Be glad you didn't make the Reolink mistake and they're not the only one with problems. Most of the consumer level cameras all suffer from the same problems that Reolink has. Compiled by mat200 -...

The iframe interval there is half of the frame rate for the main streams, and a quarter of the frame rate for the sub streams. On some cameras (Reolink) it is not adjustable so you take what you can get. I suspect those are all reolinks, given what he said earlier. But anyway the combination...

JPEG HD is not giving the OCOD, but I'm only getting an updated image every 3-5 seconds. It's a dual processor system under Proxmox, but I've dedicated 10 CPUs to BI. The cameras are set to stream at 2 FPS h.264. The other thing I've noticed is that if BI has been running for a day or so...

Hi, i have over the pas years has problems with my 2 wired reolink cameras. first i had 2x RLC-511 POE Cameras They are connectet to a synology DSM 218+ with 4gb ram and DSM 7.0 i have a fiber connection 500/500mbit and that works like a charm, speed test says 520/517mbit connection and 1,17ms...

Reolink has some other serious problems as well. Most of the other "consumer grade" cameras all suffer with similar problems. Compiled by mat200 - https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/worlds-first-review-dahua-ipc-color4k-x-dh-ipc-hfw5849t1-ase-led-full-color-4k-camera.57013/ A collection of various...

Stay away from Reolinks in case you only want to know what time it happened. The Hookup has screwed over lots of people LOL - just do a search on this forum for Hookup. If you get cameras with AI built in, then you don't even need DeepStack unless you have a special case, but running a few...

Thanks a lot for this; will give it a try. I'm assuming if I get into the guts and am able to assign a static IP, that if I disconnect from the switch, it will stay, correct? That I'm altering something inside the cam software. Yes, the system I was given is from 2018; I don't think there...

4th gen is fine if you have it laying around. But you would want 8GB of RAM minimal, preferably 16. But that is cheap. Folks here run 50 cameras on a 4th generation CPU at 30ish% and another member just reported 18 cams on a 3rd generation at 12% CPU. I think 6 cameras will be fine LOL. You...

@msquared ; okay, now that my frustration has waned with the successful resetting of the cameras, I'm considering what you proposed above. After what I went through just trying to learn the system and how to fix it, I'm going to assume what you described is not as easy as it looks. That is...
