Not sure what you think I lied about... quite simply, Blue Iris works fine with Reolink cameras. That's not a lie, it's demonstrably true... I really don't understand how you can't comprehend that. Just like when I say "I don't use twitter" I'm not sure how much more clear I could be. That...

Well, there you go again. Blue Iris works with Reolink, what part don't you understand? Or do you call everyone else an idiot in some warped sense of covering for your own inadequacies? Setting the H.264 profile to baseline isn't neutering anything... I don't think that word means what you...

Ain't that the truth. I appreciate a good discussion about the pros and cons, but the personal invective from the top-dude doesn't bode well for the notion that ideas can be freely expressed. All I'm certain of is that he must have a keyword search or an alert for "I have a Reolink" and then an...

That... that right there is why it's hard to take you seriously. You just contradicted yourself by saying "does not work in Blue Iris" and then admitting that I was in fact able to get it to work. For the record, I'm pretty sure Blue Iris recommends baseline for all H.264, don't they...

FYI, I keep seeing posts on here about Reolink and the lack of iframe settings, but I don't know what the big deal is. I saw one post from early in 2016 about some blurring or "smearing" in Blue Iris, and actually I had the same issue with my Reolink (an RLC-411WS) recently, but it ended up...

The noise isn't too bad... someone listening when it's otherwise pretty quiet would probably notice the whirring as you pan, but not necessarily. When I was bench testing mine inside you could definitely hear it but then I was just 10 feet away in an enclosed space. You can change the pan/tilt...

You would know your geography best... In my case, I knew the horizontal distance and height (not the hypotenuse), so I did the arctangent to get the angle (opposite/adjacent of the good old soh/cah/toa). In your case, you probably have a good idea of the linear distance up the slope (the...

POE has a higher voltage (around 48 volts, but really 44-57v which depends a lot on the cable distance), and to meet the power requirements that voltage is carried over multiple wires. On top of that there's a negotiation between the "client" (the camera/phone/whatever) and the POE provider...

It does indeed tip up a pretty good amount. I didn't get my protractor out and measure it but it definitely tilts up a good amount. If you needed to point it up even more for some reason, I suppose you could adjust how the arm mounts to the wall with some type of wedge/shim. In my own...

If you're talking about this one: Amazon.com: TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PoE Splitter Adapter (TL-PoE10R): Electronics It's only POE, not POE+ I saw a lot of cool POE splitters with nice, small form factors, even some that had the waterproof connector built in to the RJ-45 socket which would be...

I'm intrigued by the thought of getting audio from at least one of my cameras, like the one at my front door. It's just POE but let's say I wanted one at my POE+ camera. I think in the Dahua Starlight thread it was mentioned that POE+ splitters are expensive, but I saw this one and it's "only"...

Mine is only partially protected by an overhang but for the most part it's exposed to the weather. I'm in the Pacific Northwest and although it's only been up for a week it's already been in a snowstorm and then rain every other day. It's not much of a long term test by any measure, but I...

Oh... yeah, I guess I never took the time to really understand what the slider for WDR will do. I probably had it set to the default 50 when it had it's funky false color look. Same with BLC... I did try it out at some point using the custom, and I didn't know what I'm supposed to do with the...

And here's a video of my neighbor getting some trees cut down across the street. I got the camera up just the day before and while the trees were coming down I found myself playing with the settings. I tried WDR at first but when the sun came out it tended to make all the colors super vivid...

I'm sure in time (couple years?) there'll be a better camera at the same price point. Then I can relegate this current gem to another spot and treat myself to an upgrade. I mean, a camera like this just a year ago would have cost a pretty penny. Here are some pics of my cheapo/simple mount.

I braved the rain/snow and got my camera mounted the other day (SD49225T-HN). It replaced a Reolink RLC-423 and the first thing I feel worth mentioning is the auto-focus at night is remarkably better than the Reolink... like, doesn't even compare. The Reolink would hunt/seek for a decent...

Weird. Did IP Cam Viewer work at all with H.265 from the Dahua? Anything look weird in there at all? For me it seemed to be easily repeatable, but I wasn't clear from your response if IP Cam Viewer was working successfully with an h.265 stream or not. My particular network or account...

I haven't... unfortunately my BI support expired a couple months back and I didn't want to bother him directly about the issue. As long as he didn't think I was trying to weasel some free support out of him I could forward the info, but I'd feel kind of dirty doing that. :)

For what it's worth, on my SD49225T-HN I'm also getting a 2/3rd or so green screen (and also the same right-hand portion as your screen shots) when using H.265 Then something weird... I decided to try it out on my phone using IP Cam Viewer, so I added the camera, made sure it worked, then...

I wonder if those screws have blue loctite for just that reason... keep the average curious person out. The 3 screws that came with it to attach the camera to the mount had little dabs of pre-applied blue loctite on them so that's my guess. Blue is a medium strength version so yeah, it'll take...

I just got mine delivered today (SD49225T-HN). So far I'm loving it and it's just perched in my living room. I figured (and nayr confirmed) the cable sticking out is a lanyard to attach to the bracket arm... you'll see a place there to attach that. I guess that's in case you're loosening the...

Yeah, according to the specs, it's supposed to work like this (quoted from POE Explained - Understanding and using Power over Ethernet): My guess (and just a guess, based on the outcome) is the PoE injector in question didn't do that and it started lowering the 48V as a result of the increased...

Ouch. I wonder what PoE (switch or injector) he had. They *should* cut off the power if it were to exceed the limits (consider the case of a short in the device once power draw was negotiated...the switch would shut it down to protect itself). If, on the other hand, it merely limited the...

I thought he was saying it could be damaged by using PoE instead of PoE+. Maybe. I had my Reolink RLC-423 hooked up for a week to a PoE switch and it took me that long to notice that when I try to use PTZ at night (when the IR lights are on), it kept rebooting. Turned out I totally missed the...

I decided to upgrade my Reolink RLC-423 with the SD49225T-HN... all was going well until I hit a road block at AliExpress. Honestly, how do they sell anything if people have this much trouble paying for things? Jack Ma can suck it if that's what passes as customer service to him. Whatever...

Replying to myself... just after posting this, I went to the Reolink site and noticed there was a Feb 16, 2017 firmware for the RLC-423. I wonder if that's the "new firmware" that Blue Iris mentioned in the latest release notes. Anyway, throwing caution to the wind I installed that firmware...

I'm reading this thread with interest because I have a RLC-423 and I've never had any issues with using it in Blue Iris. I'm trying to remember when I first got it... I think last Sept or Oct (2016)? Anyway, out of the box it worked fine using the generic RTSP and ONVIF for the ptz controls...

Short answer, yes, direct to disk helps cut down CPU usage. The RAID level of the drives won't matter at all whether you're re-encoding or doing direct-to-disk (it's probably writing about the same amount of data either way, you're just not doing a bunch of CPU work in the middle). I saw my...
