    You guys agree with this guy?

    I think he said the running test was only 25 feet. Isn't that within the identify range for the 5442? Why were the images so bad?

    You guys agree with this guy?

    ...condition is a real unfair comparison. why should the 4mp win over the 8mp ? only if the 8mp is out of focus there should be a chance. also hookup strikes again. i have no idea how many feet the street is away from the camera, but its obvious that he should not use 2,8mm/3,6mm if he want to...

    I made the Reolink mistake

    Firmware for what? The 12/30/20 firmware for 5442 is fine.

    I made the Reolink mistake

    I created an account just to chime in that I'm another hookup 'victim'.. Saw Hookup recommend reolink a couple of times.. I had a hikvision way back (DS-2CD2032-I) which I liked but it seems that despite being very well informed 'usually' I fell in the trap. I got the reolinks (7x RLC-820As)...

    ...an i7-6XXXX series) and an 8TB HDD than the 8TB Synology NAS... Just because a YouTuber recommends a camera doesn't make it a good one. The Hookup pushes Reolinks for example... I assure you for that price, the misecu will be short on lots of actual features you need to get good video...

    Hello. Long time lurker ready to take the plunge.

    If nothing else, you can make your obvious cable runs, the ones you know you need. but think about pulling from 2 boxes and giving yourself the option to have 2 devices/camera's at the corners and porches, then pull enough extra so you can hookup to your test cam bucket....tripod whatever.

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

    Hi @Shap Thread title: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review .. imho of course, some knowing all the cons of the Reolink cameras may still pick them - and that's ok by me. The issue I have, as do others, is the clearly deceptive and unfair reviews which lead those new to...

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

    Looks like that video was posted like last night (timestamp on camera video was July 31st, 10pm). He is specifically showing that everything ISN'T working, right? How did you find that unlisted video? Does anyone have a link to the firmware he was using?

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

    I have no idea if he is paid for such reviews or not - he claims he is not, and it may or may not be the case. We really can not prove this. He also mentioned Andy's cameras, and recommended them as well - but I do not think he is getting paid by Andy. I see your point about telling more about...

    Because its sonic the hedgehog... ;) @Shap here is another unlisted video of your best buddy ... in this video he , the hookup himself, say that it still not working in bw mode even with the newest firmware. Why are all this information not in his listed videos? How can a BI user know better...

    @Shap YOU still not understand what the problem is. Hookup and other Youtuber gets paid with free products, making fake reviews and giving bad advices. People who trust this guys will waste money on shitty products and find out when its to late to return. Its OK if they talk about the problems...

    ...can reasonably assume, want good night time video. Reolink is not capable of good night time video. I am not a fan of YouTube reviewers like HookUp, or any of the others, because of they all leave out key factors like good night vision or only mention it in the least harmful way they...

    Guys, you can agree with HookUp or not - but he has the point - Reolink cameras may be a good fit for people that do not need a good night camera, just want to see their yard and get notifications. There is nothing wrong with this. I am not sure why many on this forum hate this message. For...

    You are wasting your time posting on his video. He's been banned from here for posting false information.

    I made the Reolink mistake

    I extremely upset with him as well. He’s talking out of Bothsides of his mouth. Another member on here said he felt the hookup was honest . I feel he hasn’t seen enough of his videos. I’ve watched him state Reolink works fine with BI with the right settings and then to hear him discuss iFrame...

    I made the Reolink mistake

    Sadly people first buy "The Hook Up" recommendation and find out later... Hookup gets his bonus, Reolink scammed another poor boy and everything is fine for them :D Best hope is that Hook Up gets hooked up by a tornado or some lightning.. :rofl:

    I made the Reolink mistake

    6 days ago I began watching “ The Hookup” videos and while continuing my research I found myself on Reolink’s website on their 12 th anniversary flash sale with a counter counting down to the end of the sale. I thought a counter ( bs ) , well it’s their 12th anniversary so that makes sense and I...

    Hacking Chamberlain Reporter driveway alert PIR detectors for alarm inputs

After playing around with some hookup wire and the voltmeter, and googling the pinout of the L7805CV I figured out that: The left pin of the L7805CV was input and should be connected...

    Yes, I was going to caveat that I should take his information with grain of salt. Ubiquiti obviously didn't pay him enough in the video I watched to tout them that hard... You make a great point about additional traffic through the switch, mirroring what holbs was eluding to. I think the switch...

    Available network topology options

    Keep in mind the hookup said that reolinks are great cameras, so consider what he says.... And plus whatever that dual NIC is the simplest and easiest way to go. Setting up VLANS has to be on a capable switch that can pass the data needed. The beauty of the dual NIC is not one bit of data...

    Placement of NVR in 2 story house?

    Router run would be 20’ feet or so, I figure If someone breaks in they will go to room closets first and really easier runs to wire.no basement here in CA. I have a Monitor but prob not enough room to leave in the closet but Easy enough to hookup when needed.
