Totally get it. Through the years I've gone down a few serious rabbit holes. I just started researching sec cams about 5 days ago, so plenty of time to dig deeper. Bought a 500ft roll of cat6. Been running it throughout the house. Saw your system description---sounds wildly capable to say...

Thanks for the reply. For those of us that just want to use cat6, poe switch, micro SD's and an ios app, can you recommend a good alternative to Reolink? As for not using dome cams outdoors, do they leak? Does the clear dome degrade the optics over time?

...the very informative replies and helpful links. You've definitely provided some added perspective. It's somewhat encouraging to hear the Reolink ios app is not the worst ios app out there--lol! I believe I'm clear on how focal length, aperture, lens quality and sensor size/quality plays...

...point that they come to me and ask if I have anything on video to help them. You will never get to that point with consumer grade cams like Reolink et al. Here are a few posts that document some of the incidents. There are others, including one in July of this year that I have yet to write...

With the exception of Reolinks doorbell cam, Reolink should be avoided like the plague. Avoid using Dome cameras outdoors, the dome will cause all sorts of problems.

Many will say Reolink has one of the better apps out there (they invest in the app experience over the quality of the cameras), so if you find that you struggle with that app, then you will struggle with Hikvision apps. Or Dahua. Or any quality camera that can provide IDENTIFY quality at...

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 to be able to use them in the event something happens and you need to get the police involved, return them.... What you...

...with our system. Have plans to install a 6-8 cameras, an 8ch POE switch, an iOS app, and 128/256gb micro cards. As a start, I purchased two Reolink RLC510a bullets (5mp, 80 deg FOV) and a Reolink RLC1240a dome (12mp, 121 deg FOV) from Amazon a few days ago. I was surprised to find the...

In both the Hikvision and Reolink client, there are options to filter the footage based on alerts in the timeline. Here is UI3. I dont see that option to do that. I am used to using the timeline instead of the clips so I find this to be more natural to use. Overall Blue Iris works so...

This is my first time setting up Blue Iris and I am getting the below error after adding a Reolink camera and creating a user account. What could be the problem?

...add just one 4K PTZ Camera with the following stream settings. Changing the resolution down to 4MP (2304*1296 ) stops the unresponsiveness problem. Is this just a Reolink Issue? This NVR allows up to 32 channels at 1080P which should be more than enough decoding capability for a single 4k...

Any cameras better not install too close to the floodlight, this camera have great low light capacity using its own led illumination. There is no plan for a motorized 1/1.2cmos full color camera. So you are using reolink 2.8mm work, just switch it to 4K-X 2.8mm.

...couple of days I have some questions. I am seriously considering getting an IPC-Color4k-x for my garage. Currently I am using a very crappy Reolink camera before I knew better. At night it stays in full color because there is a flood light on my back porch that points directly at this...

I have a Reolink NVR (RLN8-410) with 4 Reolink cameras active. I was given 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2042ND-1 bullet cameras. I understand that Reolink will not guarantee that non-Reolink cameras will work with their NVR's. I have seen posts elsewhere advising that 3rd party cameras can indeed be added...

Talking about dumbasses, the Reolink link says nothing about the claims that a battery-operated camera could not provide an RTP stream by default. It could. Neither does it claim that Argus 4 Pro provides that, which in and of itself would be a contradictory statement obviously. So thanks for...

That's why I sent you the link to Reolink in my 2nd post...it explains the use of their hub...and you can kiss my smart ass...you're the dumbass for using Reolink to begin with. :lmao:

No number of smart-ass comments will change the facts. Reolink doesn't claim anything different. You do. This camera does not provide RTSP. The hub does.

it can provide RTSP and can be used with BI or Synology. But this require using Reolink Home Series hub, which works as RTSP server.. everything is very well explained on reolink website..

Jeez...Reolink has a lot of nerve...pretending to know something about the cameras they make.:cool:

ps. on the same page from Reolink you gived is information: Working with Reolink Home Hub Series As Reolink battery-powered cameras are integrated with the Reolink Home Hub Series, they now support third-party protocols. This enhancement is driven by advancements in technology and Reolink's...

one more time - this is how battery powered cams works. wifi can looks like connected for 24/7, but please believe me - the WIFI chip negotiates with the WIFI access point/router long sleep time and it sleeps for 99.9% of time.. it wake up every few second for very short time simply to send one...

...when triggered. It records to the cloud, a local server (as well as an SD card). Its battery is virtually always at 100%, maybe dropping into the 90's by the morning. True, it's summertime. There is no technical limitation to performing the same duties with an RTSP stream. It's Reolink's choice.

Yes, it is... Classic POE powered cameras works 24/7... they non stop captures video, processing, analyzing, compressing and sending to client/NVR or writing to SD card... this require usually 5 to 12 watts of power.. All battery powered cams don't work at all for 99% time.. they have PIR...

I don't need constant streaming. What Reolink is claiming to be a hardware limitation, it is not. Their camera streams to the cloud currently. There is absolutely no reason why it couldn't do that a local server. As a matter of fact, it can- to a FTP server. Unfortunately, the battery operation...

FWIW, a excerpt from Reolink, the manufacturer of your Argus 4 Pro battery-powered, solar-charged camera: When a battery-powered camera is used as a standalone device, due to hardware limitations, it does not support RTSP, RTMP, ONVIF and related communication protocols that third-party...

What are the amp hour capacity of the batteries? You can determine runtime pretty quickly with that and known power consumption. Off grid camera system on solar can be done pretty easily without WiFi. It’s when you add wifi radio and a switch to power the wifi/camera that things start getting...

...which would run 3rd party cameras. I cannot go high end, it needs to be a good bang for the buck. Just going through first learning experience with a Reolink which it looks like I am going to return since it is proprietary. Cameras look good in the daytime. Any input is welcome. Thank you.

...farm [8 acres] Farm has internet connection so poe should be fine. We will monitor from remote so remote access is important. I bought a reolink system RLK16-1200B8-A but it dont recognize face even from 20ft away so decided to return it Expectations/requirements: camera should...

...FCD600 for $111 or $90 + S&H or the FCD800, the better NCD800 goes on sale occasionally but the Color4k-T180 is better and smaller. The Reolink Doorbell wouldn't be a bad place to start it's currently $80, was a bit less during prime day, add a 128-256gb micro sd card so you've at least got...
