    Need Recommendation on an Entire System

    ...period. The POE switch can be almost any brand. Have used the suggested NetGear 8 port switch along with a Dahua 10 ($85) and 24 port and Reolink 10 port POE switches. So far have found that the Reolink ($54) has the same build quality as the Dahua POE switch. At this point, no switch...

    Need Recommendation on an Entire System

    Boy I can not agree more with these statements and many others on here. I am a total “babe in the woods” when it comes to cameras and networking. Heck! I’m still trying to decide on gel or waterproof wrap for my cable . The reading has been fascinating to me. Here is my recently purchased...

    Need Recommendation on an Entire System

    ...a poe injector from amazon for about $20 bucks. This is a minimal investment to get your feet wet and is miles ahead of Arlo, Blink, Ring, Reolink, etc. This is assuming you have a PC that supports BI. You can also pickup a Dell outlet or refurbished PC on the cheap, about $200 - $250. I...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    So you had the camera for 6 months and no issues until this formware update? I would say it's definitely worth a call to Reolink for tech support and possible warranty.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I went ahead and did a reset last night. Same issue today, the iR filter is sticking. It will only go into day mode if I reboot the camera. Dang the thing is only 6mos old. Guess I'll call Reolink and see what happens. FYI this is the POE version. Michael

    Opinion on set up for newb in UK

    Hi, have just begun looking in to options for a CCTV system to cover around my home. Initially was looking at Reolink bundles but after finding this site I have obviously been put off this idea. For simplicity and cost opting for an NVR seems better than buying and setting up a PC with BI for...

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    How did you do with this project? I am currently looking for a simple wired solution for a customer. Really only need it for a senior clubhouse office who wants to be able to communicate with video and allow entry from the office without walking to the door. Was looking at the Dahua KTP03 but...

    UI3 Settings

    ...I use UI3 to monitor my cameras 24/7 and also use sub streams. What I mean is, for example.. when I view my doorbell camera on its own Reolink app, it looks sharper than when viewing in blue iris UI3, even if I select 4K as the streaming quality. Not saying it looks bad, just saying I...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I've tried and failed multiple times too. Gave up in the end and just use their app locally. But it would be good to actually get this working! I know lots of forums have mentioned this working with frigate but not with BI Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    ...I've tried multiple config options (RTSP vs RTMP, back channel vs no back channel) and can't seem to get it working. Ken at BI indicates Reolink removed RTSP back channel from their firmware late last year, but I've read elsewhere they re-added it recently. Build No.build 2407315183...

    Newb with Questions About Reolink Cameras

    Well even if the Reolink model has fixed the issues with BI, they are still problematic from a video quality capture standpoint. Just keep in mind that for some of the models, it is a hack to make it work. Yes BI you can literally watch the alert practically up to the second it is being...

    Newb with Questions About Reolink Cameras

    Thanks for the reply, @wittaj. Have the record-on-motion sent to 15 seconds---the minimum. The Reolink cams appear to record video in 2 min blocks. During video playback you can see a slight hesitation when it transitions from one block to the next. My guess the app and/or camera can't...

    In the future, avoid Reolink, except for their doorbell cam.

    Appreciate all the helpful input so far. Got the Reolink cams up and running using the Reolink iOS app and POE switch. Experiencing the two following issues with the Reolink iOS app: 1. All new alerts (less than 2 min old) revert to the live view when you tap the iOS alert notification...

    ...to match brand of camera with brand of NVR. ONVIF cameras allow for some cross-use, but some features may or may not work. With that said, Reolink tends to be more picky and would be best to stay with a Reolink NVR. Which NVR do you have? Not all NVRs are created equal and you may be...

    Hi, just registered after finding the site while I was looking to see if Reolink cameras would work with another make of NVR-I have a RLN8-410 and a RLN16-410 that are causing me problems (not seeing all cameras). All cables (POE) have been replaced and tested, double checked and both NVR fail...

    Solar powered IP camera?

    A battery-powered, solar-charged camera that can stream via RTSP to VLC or Blue Iris is as scarce as unicorns, unfortunately. https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000630706-Introduction-to-RTSP/

    Update on the Reolink 12mp RLC1240a dome. The overexposed, washed out look I was getting when the infrared or spotlight was active goes completely away when the clear dome is removed---the video is perfectly clear. Interesting. I returned it. Going to stick with bullets and/or turrets moving...

So i have made it that far into my research. Then from said cliffs notes, I learned how important sensor size and focal length...
