    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Correct, and then 3:25-4:54 was all about the relationship between focal length and DORI. Here's a quote from you: user8963 told me I can access my 12MP cameras from everywhere! It's right in your post above, just read Line 3 word 2 - Line 3 word 23.

    Considering moving to PC blue iris, versus current lorex nvr. Questions, comments invited.

    ...and all drives were swapped to new build. I'm going to record 24/7, and plan on using the deepstack ai, i've seen how to set it up on the hookup (youtube) I see the WD purple 10-tb on sale for 318, I was thinking that's a good amount of storage. Or, might use the 6tb purple currently in the...

    LaView NVR w/ Reolink camera

    ...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...

    LaView NVR w/ Reolink camera

    ...that snapshot came from - can you really freeze frame it to get a good nighttime capture of a perp? LOL - don't get people started on the Hookup LOL - he gets affiliate commission. Unifi is a proprietary system overpriced for its performance. If you are seriously considering the reos...

    Review: Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5842E-ZE-S2 - 8MP / 4K Vari-Focal Bullet Cam

    Thanks @sebastiantombs for the kind words and the ideas :) I agree that comparison testing against 'other' brands can be incredibly useful. Certainly am open to what the community would like me to test against and then would have to look at how to source/fund etc anything I can't get my hands on...

    Review: Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5842E-ZE-S2 - 8MP / 4K Vari-Focal Bullet Cam

    @wittaj Somehow I don't think HookUp really does any fine tuning on anything, after all fine tuning a Reo is a joke, so you can bet everything is left on auto in every other camera he compares to. Plus I don't think HookUp has the expertise, at least nowhere near the level of Wildcat_1.

    Review: Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5842E-ZE-S2 - 8MP / 4K Vari-Focal Bullet Cam

    That is a great idea! I am not aware of any good videos that compares reos to good cameras. Yeah the hookup has done one or two with Andy's cams compared to reo, but taking a 2.8mm and trying to evaluate it at 60 feet is going to struggle for every 2.8mm camera.

    Review: Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5842E-ZE-S2 - 8MP / 4K Vari-Focal Bullet Cam

    Great intro video! You're going to put the "HookUp" out of business in short order given that video combined with your knowledge and expertise. It would be fun to have a Reolink "equivalent" to directly compare to any of the ones you've tested. Maybe we could cloud fund a way to get them to you?

    Looking for advice in locking down my system

    It is actually pretty easy. In simplest form, buy a spare NIC card, drop it in your PC in a spare PCIe slot, configure properly using the guidance on this site. There are some really good diagrams on this site which makes it even easier to get the correct hookup.

    A New Doorbell

    Maybe that could be the one camera they could get it right LOL. Instead it will probably be an announced collaboration with the Hookup :lmao:

    Fine tuning questions regarding Deepstack and alerts

    ...be in your house or steal something in that time frame.... And don't believe every thing you see on YT lol. Next you will say it was the hookup.... But many of us are using BI and deepstack just fine with no issues. It is a setup issue. It takes some tweaking to get it down for each...

    Cant get Deepstacks to recognize anything

    Yup, He hooked me up with alot of stress and frustration! Plus his video is on an older version of BI and some options have changed. Is there a guide somewhere on creating models?

    Cant get Deepstacks to recognize anything

    Was it the Hookup :lmao: Yeah, AI isn't perfect LOL. You can create your own custom model for your field of view to fix that sort of thing.

    Cant get Deepstacks to recognize anything

    That is your problem. Reolinks do not work well with Blue Iris and is even worse with DeepStack. Was the YT you watched the hookup by any chance... Blue Iris is great and works with probably more camera brands than most VMS programs, but there are brands that don't work well or not at all -...

    and he's recommended Holiday Coro lighting in the past. Holiday Coro are shady business. Sells AdvaTek pixel controllers one year, then out of stock. Next year he comes out with his own brand that is an identical clone. Next generations of controllers become worse and worse for usability. Then...

    PoE Switch Suggestions

    Do not follow anything the Hookup says or you will get burned just like other new members that came here AFTER being burned by him. He gets affiliate pay for everything he recommends. Just do a search on the Hookup on this forum and find all the "I've been burned by the hookup" posts... Here...

    Cheap cameras

    I dont think these cameras were cheap.. they might be just installed 15 years ago and never touched again. these 700TVL systems are quite common here in europe... no real crimes, so why rip off a working system ? if they had hire hookup earlier... then they had reolink 4k crystal clear image ;)

    Holy Cow!! This is some complicated stuff. I need a EE degree before attempting that project. His setup is impressive but, I think I'll stick with $5 Walmart string lights on an extension cord and call it a day.

    Oh god. I had not seen his lighting video. I just watched most of it. As to be expected he provides a mix of good and bad info. Started out ok and then just went downhill. As to be expected I’ve never heard of the controller he recommends or that software. And I am on three different Christmas...

    Oh no, another hookup burn.... You need to decide what you want the system to provide - to be able to IDENTIFY or OBSERVE what is going on. Here are a few guidelines and considerations as you piece something together. It is simple LOL do not chase MP - do not buy a 4MP camera that is anything...
