    Security Camera Software ?

    Yeah it takes up a lot of space as a program, but is stable and works well even if a bit difficult to setup.

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    This issue may have been corrected. I updated my firmware just recently and have been running my Reolinks using the high profile and hardware acceleration on and have seen no ill effects, but want to wait a little more time to see.

    Security warning if you use IP based authentication (Non-LAN only/Limit IP) - Take action ASAP

    A lot of NAS have a setting to lock out for a specified amount of time after several unsuccessful login attempts. I wonder if this is something worth adding to BI.

    Security Camera Software ?

    Agreed. As for software, Blue Iris gets my vote, but you can also check out Netcam Studio and Milestone Xprotect Essential.

    30-40 sec delay Reolink Wired Cams

    Glad I could help!

    Milestone Essential will be free for up to 8 cams..no recording limit...

    The saving CPU cycles is definitely true, just wish XProtect wasn't such a huge program and easier to use.

    Camera keeps changing ip adress

    Is this an Xfinity router by any chance? I've noticed their routers will sometimes forget static addresses for some reason.

    Synology Surveillance Station as a BI alternative

    Just to throw a few alternatives out there. You can check out Netcam Studio on PC as it has decent features, good mobile app, and is simple to use. Milestone XProtect is another PC product with good features, but it's a huge program and difficult to use IMO. On the Mac side, SecuritySpy is...

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    They work fine in BI; it takes some tinkering with the settings, but so do most cameras. I found my Hikvision more painful to setup. With the most recent firmware from Reolink, I've been able to run mine using the high or main profiles without issues. I've shared my settings in other posts so...

    Blurry Images with Reolink

    Assuming of course the CPU supports hardware acceleration. I'm actually running 3 cameras; 2 at 3.7MP (Reolink) and 1 at 3MP (Hikvision) on a very modest CPU and the usage is decent without hardware acceleration enabled. I understand that with more cameras this becomes a major factor, but it's...

    Blurry Images with Reolink

    Although the image quality does suffer from an actual 3.7MP, I find it's on par with my Hik 3MP image. I also didn't find the CPU usage prohibited; my 2 Reolinks running at 1440P and 10fps comes in around 22% give or take. As for the web server, I find just changing the bitrate while pulling...

    Synology Surveillance Station as a BI alternative

    SS works fine as a basic solution, but BI is much, much better overall. The mobile app alone is worth it.

    30-40 sec delay Reolink Wired Cams

    Try the following: Cameras' Interface 1. Make sure the Reolinks are using the most recent firmware. 2. Make sure the Reolinks are set to use "Baseline" in the H.264 profile setting. 3. Turn off 3D-NR. 4. Reboot the cameras. Blue Iris 1. Set Intel hardware acceleration to "No" in the global...

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    Yikes, 30 fps is a bit much. I find 10 fps is more than enough.

    Blurry Images with Reolink

    I have Reolinks and they work fine in BI setup. They also work fine in Milestone. It's a real disappointment Reolink won't add iframe adjustments to their firmware, but here are a few things you can try: Cameras' Interface 1. Make sure the Reolinks are using the most recent firmware released...

    Reolink decided not to add iFrame interval because it'll cause issues for "some people".

    Very disappointing they decided not to include iframe adjustments. This isn't a difficult thing to do.

    Ethernet over power lines

    It's hit or miss, but I have had luck with powerline in my house. Use the newer AV2 MIMO adapters. You can get those with plug in passthrough and simply plug an injector into the powerline adapter itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can't hardwire, what's the best WiFi cam w/ local streaming?

    Did you try AV1200 MIMO powerline adapters? Powerline is hit or miss, but you do have better odds with these adapters.

    BI Running on MAC

    I've managed to install BI on a Mac using Wine, but not sure how stable it would be day-to-day. SecuritySpy is a good alternative on a Mac. Both offer trials so you can try both options.

    What is the best way to view BI remotely using a Windows Phone?

    This is your best bet. The only other way is to access the web server via a browser after establishing a VPN connection into your LAN.

    Cameras freezing on 4.3.3

    I hear what you're saying, but if one can get a stable 4MP stream, I don't see any issue. Many of the issues surrounding the Reolinks over the past several months were solved. It takes some tweaking and following instructions, but that's true of every IP camera I've setup.

    Cameras freezing on 4.3.3

    Not yet, definitely a major omission still. It appears most of the effort in the last firmware was around creating the HTML5, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see the iframe setting show up in the next round. I'm hoping as I would like to see some alternatives to the usual recommendations as...

    Cameras freezing on 4.3.3

    This may have been true with previous versions, but the July release was a tremendous improvement and isn't any better or worst as firmware found on other cameras. The RLC-410's I'm testing don't have as many tweaking options as my Hiks, but the firmware is stable and image quality almost as...

    Cameras freezing on 4.3.3

    Do everything else on my list and try setting it back to main and see if it'll run. Since you weren't having issues before, it's worth a shot. If not, you can use different software like XProtect Go and iSpy both of which are free (Go is free for up to 8 cameras and 5 days of recordings)...

    reolink cameras?

    I've been testing two RLC-410 and I find they work fine; better than a lot of what you find on Amazon. Not perfect of course, but neither are Hiks and Dahuas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cameras freezing on 4.3.3

    It's the only stream stable with Blue Iris and a few other software packages. Reolink has instructions on how to change it here: https://reolink.com/faq/add-reolink-cameras-to-blue-iris/ 3D-NR is a noise reduction setting found under advanced settings in Reolink's interface.
