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...

If you want something that works properly, send the Reolink crap back, and get a refund. The Hookup is a joke. (2) Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)" | IP Cam Talk...

That's great if you can either hookup with someone that is not only willing to tow you but just happens to be going 25 miles in a direction that is also agreeable to you, otherwise you'd have to drive back...unless he's towing you in a circle. Also, many states have laws restricting tow speeds...

I have to concur with regards to the overall quality of security / surveillance camera reviews I have seen on most consumer websites as well as Amazon. " .. I have found most Amazon reviews to be useless LOL. .. " - Wittaj Unfortunately few know what to look for when evaluating security /...

...on number of hits they get and/or some affiliate discount. In the past few months we have seen many people come here after being burned by hookup... Plus, when someone has 200,000+ subscribers, inevitably they will start to push consumer grade stuff that is "plug-n-play" because they do not...

REolink= garbage. So, Reolinks are now spreading Polio? Reolinks are garbage.

Another burned by hookup.... Save yourself the trouble and return before the return window closes... Even IF the firmware allows it to work better with BI, the quality at night is subpar.... Checkout the master thread and see for yourself...

Hi @vicmail12 Good questions, and good research so far on your part. So far I do not recall seeing a confirmation that is definitive on this model of Reolink. ( remember each model can have their own firmware updates .. ) If you have the time to check and see .. or find confirmations here or...

As a homeowner wanting to acquire and operate a non-subscription security camera system, I discovered The Hookup channel on YouTube, where author Rob extols a subjectively evaluated, relatively high value-to-cost ratio of Reolink cameras. Not aware of the history of Reolink cameras not being...

Did you see my post #6? In that post I demonstrated that the empiretech cameras are even more capable that the Hookup shows. The distance you want to cover is more important than the MP and that was the other point of my post was that the Hookup was not using the correct camera for the...

Guess after all it is YouTube so not everything should be taken as fact. Such as filling a pool with jello or giving away cars and cash like the videos I can’t stand when the kids watch them.

Hey, sorry I still haven't gone around inspecting the 'improvements' if any as scientifically as possible.. for starters I was going to setup BI for this (since I'm using the reolink nvr.. I know don't judge). The only way to access the new 'features' is if the cameras are accessible from a...

...That stated, The Hookup has learned a lot more, and is now covering important issues better on the topic of security camera image quality of capture. ( FoV, Pixels, DORI are very important as basic concepts .. anyone who ignores this either does not know enough, has dumbed down their video...

By him I meant the post above yours by airbag888 that said he had the new firmware and would try it out that night and report back the next day, but yes many people do not trust what the hookup puts out (although he has been getting better and isn't a complete Reolink fanboy anymore LOL).

So does the hookup lie? I thought some of his videos are good, but never looked to him for security camera but advice.

How is the new firmware? Saw the hookup post a new video about the updated firmware that allegedly resolved a few of these issues.

The Hookup suggested that if you are in that price range, then go with Axis; otherwise @EMPIRETECANDY is the best solution on a cost/performance, obviously that changes if you are a government agency...

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...

I just acquired some cameras and a Dell Optiplex SFF 7050. I am not understanding how to connect audio in/out from cameras to allow two way communication via Blue Iris. Any help appreciated

...than the trees I see between 1 and 2. A set for each house is the way to go. That will insure enough bandwidth for all cameras. Actual hookup is no big deal if you buy the pre-packaged pairs. Even if you don't setup isn't all that difficult if you have any networking experience and can...

...what if they got the camera feed as at the time all my cams were outside seeing anything one can see from standing outside. But I suspect the Hookup was not expecting the backlash he is receiving when he presented that video. Most of what he is saying is in agreement with what has been...

He just did a video on NDAA and talks about the exploits, backdoors, and keeping cameras off the internet and using a VPN and is probably his best video and folks are ripping him new ones. Yet they rave on his reolink videos LOL. Here is one of many by "network specialists"

Here is the latest touting the wonderful Reolink by another YouTube Influencer LOL Love the still image comparison instead of motion, and even with that in the upper right hand corner image, part of the hand is missing LOL

Thanks @brokensword Please Feel free to post a quick new thread: "How I got my Q-see setup to work .. " Remember each of us can make this journey a little better .. only if we share what we are learning in a meaningful manner. fwiw - in general I have found Mac OS to be less supported for a...

If no immediate, local grounded conductor from power panel (bare or green in U.S. or green/yellow in UK & AU) or buried metal water pipe (not gas), consider driving a 6 ft. ground rod and bonding to that with appropriate ground clamp. A copper clad steel rod is best but not cheap, galvanized...

other than that missing panel on the bottom, the pics LOOK like the ones I have. And I HAD some working upon initial hookup, changed something, knocked the working ones out. I tried downloading the Dahua config tool to my Mac; says I need Mac OSX 13 and above, which I have, and it would not...

...a + and - terminal, plus a ground terminal as does the Master Screen from what I can tell. SO, the real question for me is if you run a two cable for + and - how does the ground hookup work. I maybe just over thinking it and it is all explained in the literature. Was just trying to get ahead...

...the current wiring on the JB-2MD is two wire solid cire, but has not ground terminal. See Image of current. So the question is this, if I hookup the new Intercom without using a ground, wil it work. If I need to use a ground, how would that also work. Just need a little guideance. Thansk
