Honestly, I thought the same too. When I access the website through my phone, I see ads for "Hookup with Asian girls" I'm not making this up, will post a pic soon :rofl:

I‘m having withdrawal. ;)

off and on for me for a few days...

Is the hurricane knocking this site off-line today or has reolink or hookup hacked it LOL. It is been down quite a bit for me today.

You forgot Black History.

Similar to the hookup camera reviews, does anyone make any that does a cost benefit analysis of every degree a college offers lol? Way more degrees are being handed out that add zero value to the market. I love the articles that quote someone that says "I have 3 college degrees and still can't...

After watching the latest "The Hookup" video I'm moving to his recommendation it seems the best and cheapest option :winktongue: Whilst BI got a good mention Reolink wins again

Hi @Windcrest please let us know if @KenAllen15 refence helps you get this issue resolved .. FYI - recently did some analysis on TheHookUps cheap camera recommendation.. Reolink, Reviews, Deception, DORI / FOV / math matters, or why image comparisons are only part of the story ...

...those youtube reviewers either are new to the subject themselves, or are not fully honest about some of the issues. The older videos from TheHookUp seemed to be so similar to the other Reolink Shills that I suspected that Rob was not without bias ( I know, English majors do not like double...

...people are done with that, they can go to this thread that many of us reference that is somewhat related (and inspired by another video by The Hookup) - why the focal length of the camera matters for the distance you want to IDENTIFY something at...

Thanks to @wittaj and thehookup for inspiring some math analysis .. "The Hookup Ranks Budget Cameras under $50" Thread here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/the-hookup-ranks-budget-cameras-under-50.65638/ I wanted to make a easier thread for me to point people to look at the math, and why DORI...

Humorous .. as on that screen shot clearly looks like Amcrest 5MP beats the snot out of the Reolink 5MP .. :rofl: and yet, he wonders why some think he's a Reolink Shill ..

I love how Rob knows what is coming from many of us that he simply says it LOL "So big surprise everybody Rob's going to say that the Reolink 510a is the best budget camera under $50" However, he does caveat it with the nighttime video is not as good. He ranks the Reolink 510a as the best...

Looks like the best option for me. I cannot find PVC fense post in my country (can only find round ones). In the US I can find them, but shipping cost is high, so local metal post is prefered.

It you really want something strong, you could use a galvanized metal post. This is how I mounted my Color 4K-X yesterday. By using a backbox, you would have plenty of room for the cable hookup.

...that computer and went back to the NVR. I've again just recently have watched several youtube videos on BI and Deepstack - specifically "The Hookup" where he utilizes a 24/7 sub stream then upon a trigger BS records full resolution and Jpg images. This is exactly what I want to do, I have a...

^Once substreams were introduced, it is more efficient to not use the GPU for BI and hardware acceleration...it is only used now for folks running DeepStack or SenseAI. Um, that video is old and a lot has changed since then, and not too many here follow the hookup LOL :lmao:

Thanks - read that thread - very helpful. So I've got a situation that I suspect is not uncommon. I have a camera monitoring my driveway, which also has the road in view. I'm not interested in triggering whenever a car drives by, so I set up the motion detection zone (on camera and in...

The hookup was your first problem LOL... Many of have found that the camera AI is more than adequate, especially if you only want triggers on humans or vehicles. Using camera AI saves on your computer being taxed. Some go a little crazy using Deepstack and max out their CPU quickly. Check...

Many people here share your experiences lol. The hookup is definitely getting better and I think he is looking at this site and has improved because of it, but it is clear he sells more reolinks than anything so he isn't going to completely dismiss them either.

Another person coming here after seeing the Hookup LOL. Fortunately it sounds like you don't fall under the category of those burned by the hookup! If you bought the Reolinks and can return them, do so! They do not work well with BI, in addition to horrible nighttime ghosting and blurring and...

Welcome @conandy I also came here from Arlo and other cameras .. We've got some better threads, cliff notes, wiki notes, and more solid reviews here now that will help out. If you own the home, definitely do not be afraid to go wired / cat5e/6 cables for IP PoE security cameras .. so many...

Awesome! I assume this might be the thread you were referring to? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/the-hookup-ranks-the-empiretech-t5842-dahua-ipc-hdw5842t-ze-as-the-best-affordable-camera-if-night-time-performance-is-the-main-concern.62171/

Thanks! I had seen the thread talking about The Hookup review, and that was what made me wonder how I could learn enough about this subject! Your linked thread about camera selection is exactly what I need to start down the right path.

Noob here, hoping to learn what I need for a DIY home surveillance system from all you fine folks! Found this site after watching some of The Hookup and other vids on the web. Desperately want to replace my cheap battery powered Arlo system. I know enough to know that I know almost...

...started to back in March, and he is improving, probably from this site as @Gargoile points out LOL. Probably his best video...

Let us guess....the hookup videos? Yep, send the reos back NOW! BI is very powerful (more powerful than any NVR). I had been with NVRs for years and tried the trial and new within 30 minutes it was superior to any NVR I ever had and have never looked back. If you are somewhat computer savvy...

The hookup definitely gets paid an affiliate commission for every camera purchased from the links he provides. He mentions that in the videos. Now whether reo gives him additional or not is not confirmed. But the word on the street is reo pays for positive reviews. Either way he is making...

Bon't feel too bad, you're definitely not the first person to be mislead by "The HookUp". I don't know for sure that he's getting paid but the story I've heard is he quit his regular job to do "reviews. He also seems somewhat challenged regarding how cameras actually work and how to adjust...
