Macfun, I'm outside of Houston by the way. I have a POE Reolink and my son has the Wifi version becasue there was no way to get a network cable to the existing doorbell, without doing major demolition. Both Reolinks are rock solid. My son hasn't had any wifi drops etc. I was quite suprised...

Wow that’s a shocking state of affairs for doorbells. I guess we have a long way to go before this market segment matures. I guess I’ll look at tearing the house apart to get an actual network cable to the doorbell location. Thanks so much for your input is greatly appreciated.

...and capabilities, much to the owners' dismay (including me). The very poor WiFi performance was the deal breaker for me. I switched to a Reolink wifi doorbell, but while the wifi performance was much better, it still dropped the signal far too often. The Hikvision would drop signal many...

...if this is possible, then both power and the camera feeds will be hardwired which is the best option. Current one of the best options is the Reolink POE wired doorbell camera. If you only have regular doorbell wiring, there are solutions, but while the camera will get power from the...

I'm gonna be running it like this until it dies. Will let you know in a couple months when that happens. Also before you ask thats not weed. Those are 100 privacy shrubs that will grow 10 feet tall in no time. Been having issues with animals eating on them.

...at one point also looking at a mini-PC for my NVR solution note: Many members look to spend less on the PC, and get better cameras than Reolinks. Thus why the recommendation of the used business class PC which would be large enough to hold a 3.5" HDD for the video, and an SSD for the OS /...

Avoid Reolink, except for their Doorbell cam. PTZ cams have a habit of looking the wrong direction when something happens. If you want good reliability, don't use the mini Beelink pc. Best bet is one of these: SFF Computers Most find there is no "cleaning up" needed of these machines. If there...

...use it just fine, but I suspect they haven't had an issue where they had to review and found the key time was missing. Since you mentioned Reolinks.... Keep in mind that reolinks, especially at night are horrible. If all you care about is to look around, then probably ok. But if you plan...

I see you joined IPCT yesterday....welcome! :wave: I also can tell you didn't read much about how Reolink and Blue Iris don't play nice....they don't. For the most part, only the Reolink doorbell gets some kudos on this forum. Wi-Fi can be problematic (intermittent, drops outs, etc.) for IP...

I wont get into the Pro/cons of Micro PC's... but the Reolink youre looking at....The CMOS sensor(s) combined with the megapixels will look good in bright light but not great at night. Plus Reolinks don't have much shutter speed adjustment to fine tune the image for day/night. to compensate for...

...2TB SN770 SSD ($119) in second M.2 slot Blue Iris ($63) NVR total: $611 I'll use 3 of my existing cameras from Foscam (HT2, VP5) and get a Reolink PTZ. I want to try the Reolink Mixtrack WiFi ($136) with the spot lights for the front driveway area. I haven't exposed the Foscam cameras to the...

...Remember we want cameras that perform in your worse condition, which for most will be at night with little light. Ot do as some do and have the reolink up just for daytime lol. But again we are not entering photography contests lol and the 54IR provides sufficient daytime quality for most...

...If I added up how much I spent on all these cameras sitting in boxes I would cry LOL. So you have a great Empiretech camera and a cheapo Reolink camera. Those are two great ones to play with. Try to do as I suggested and get the empiretech camera to be setup similar to what reolink...

@wittaj, wow! Thank you for taking the time to make this post! It really put our options, moving forward, into much clearer focus. I don't think we'll be in a position to make any good, knowledgeable decisions on any of this until we have a better grasp on security risks, costs...

No we are not saying the same thing. You keep concluding the Dahua camera with an SD card is up to the task just because the Reolink camera is up to the task, without understanding the underlying conditions that caused each to perform the way they did? Two totally different manufactures and...

If you are having lens flare, that is a mounting/positioning problem. Not the fault of the camera. No matter how you try to justify the Reolink garbage, when it becomes important to get a face capture, the EmpireTech cam will blow it out of the water, IF you have taken the time to properly...

In my post I concluded the hardware was up to the task based on the Reolink iOS app's excellent playback performance. Be default that puts the onus on the DMSS iOS app. That's why I posted "The playback problem appears to be with the DMSS iOS app itself." Are we not saying the same thing? I...

Hi @HomeWPoe Do check out the DORI section of the cliff notes .. effective pixels do matter. There's a lot of nuances to this, and often we try to keep things simple enough for new folks to get a better understanding. In the old days of photography, people would take classes to get to a base...

Can You show 2-3 pictures how this Dahua and Reolink to which You compare are mounted? Especially at day when lens flair is happening? Plus screenshot how this lens flair is looking in video? Plus screenshots from all camera image settings?

...for Dahua is crap. Most use SD card as redundant recording and not as sole recording. As a result Dahua hasn't invested into that as say reolink has. Heck, which browser you use dictates the speed you can transfer off the card (10mbps versus 100mbps)....so you don't think the whacked out...

...Confident the SD cards have no throughput issues. I'm able to playback Main Stream vids at all speeds (up to 16x) with zero issues with the Reolink iOS app. The playback problem appears to be with the DMSS iOS app itself. And, yes, I agree, unless I'm willing to go all-in with a VMS (or...

...so I don't really care about 16x playback as an example. But part of your issue with speed playback could be using the SD cards. What Reolink makes up for in daytime quality (many will say they have the best daytime quality), they lose it at night time (missing body parts and complete...

...allowed immediate access to the alert video clips. It also kept a running log of alerts. Both capabilities were completely missing from the Reolink iOS app. However, so, so disappointed with the DMSS playback function---it was slow, erratic, and cumbersome--almost unusable at 8x (max)...

...its at the meter box so Ethernet (via powerline) is unlikely to be reliable. Wifi is possible via a range extender. I initially installed a Reolink Argus Eco, hoping to capture and people or vehicles entering or leaving, with enough detail for reasonable identification, but the camera...

Well people also say Reolink's are great cameras LOL One of many areas where I think BI does a better job is how it displays the alerts/timeline, and I believe it is still the same as when I last ran SmartPSS and DMSS, and was the same for the NVR I recently set up for a neighbor. He has to...

note, the mobile app alerts is one reason why I throw in a few cloud cameras into my mix .. I don't have iOS mobile devices, so you have to see which cloud cameras work for you here. My basic setup is a hybrid one. 1) A few cloud cameras for mobile app needs 2) a core IP PoE camera setup for...

...would be helpful, at this point, is knowing how the DMSS iOS app handles alerts. Yes, overall the DMSS iOS app may be seen as inferior to Reolink; however, it's possible DMSS may handle alerts in a way that makes it useable and functional for us. Would rather not go with BI or other VMS...

As I mentioned previously, if you don't like the Reolink app, you will hate the DMSS app LOL. And many will say reolink is one of the better apps, so if you hate it.... And yeah I warned you on the night capabilities! Reolink invests in their app to try to make it grandma user friendly...

Got the 5 Reolinks connected and running with BI. Did this just to get a general feel for BI. No doubt, BI offers massive flexibility, but requires more hardware, additional support software and lots of tweaking. We love the simplicity of a POE switch and micro SD cards. However, if we can't...

Thank you. These details along with what other have provided are awesome.
