    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Didn't get these exact models, but as an update, I'm amazed at how well the powerline adapter works. Thank you.

    I found it worked horriblly, integrated it with Frigate and now it's 99.99% reliable for me.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    By any chance, if someone is using the WiFi version, using Frigate NVR via the Home Assistant add-on and is able to get the high-resolution feed within Home Assistant, while simultaneously recording in high-resolution, please PM me. I can get the recording in high-resolution (looks great,) but...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Which products would you recommend I take a look at for both the PLA with G.hn (that has POE, if possible) and also a POE injector, if it doesn't? IF the PLA doesn't have POE it looks like the POE injector plug into the PLA and then the camera into the POE injector (read a post you had here...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    I think this would would work well if I had a remote location on a property and could get line of sight from one point to the other, but with my situation, there's really no where to mount these on the outside (it's a condo.) I'm hoping the the PLA idea would work for my situation. I do have...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Yes, power inside the garage and yes, the power comes from the house, but would this have to be on the same circuit? As far as line of site, the camera would be just outside the garage, so I would be able to run CAT from inside the garage to the outside via the weather stripping. I have read a...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Thank you for the explanation. I guess I could always try it and see how the performance is. I am curious about your use of Ubiquiti LoCo and TP wireless links. It looks like the Ubiquiti LoCo is reasonably priced. Is there a YouTube video or some other ink you could possibly refer me to so...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Hi all, I would like to get a POE outside camera near my garage, but getting CAT cable from the garage to the outside is very difficult, as I don't have any CAT outlets nearby. I was testing a Wifi extender in the garage, which allows me to plug CAT cable into it. Could i use this for a POE...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Using the same format - it brings up the user name and password box and won't let me in. I have some setting wrong, clearly.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks - I can get into the web interface and also the client, but that looks like the password for the users, not the doorbell. Or is that the same thing :) I have no idea why the DB let's me connect to the NVR via ONVIF, but not VLC, etc. Btw, how smooth is the recording with BI? Any...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    That's great - I know a lot of people love BI - would for sure consider it after I get this thing running correctly....I had an RCA doorbell and it was very dependable, albeit the video quality was not great. I'm also considering the new TP Link Doorbell that's brand new ..

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks, I see now you were referring to another poster :) I haven't tried any other version. I'm on Firmware Ver. 3.0.0.2676_23090700. What version are you on? Considering I am getting an authentication errors, it's either the user name or the password (or both.) Using the standard admin...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    You're getting the disconnects at a certain time each day? I simply can't get the alerts to work for this doorbell - totally random and undependable. I'm also testing other NVR software, but I am getting an authentication issue with RTSP. I also can't test it with VLC (same issue.) No idea...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I run a Mac, but I would be willing to consider having this just run "headless" in a closet somehere. I'm assuming once set up, I would be able to access everything from a client or browser..

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Appreciate the quick reply. I haven't lowered it down, but I'm wondering why it stutters on the NVR, but not directly with REO's app . Regarding this particular TP-link, it actually does have RTSP, etc. to be able to do that..it was just released. The NVR is scheduled 24/7. Can you refer me...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hi, I recently got the Wifi version and overall, I like the unit, however, I've encountered a few issues that I cannot resolve (this is my second unit, thinking it was a bad first unit): 1)The detection, whether motion or person, is not working consistently or accurately. I started off...

    NVR Recommendations

    I have CAT5E outlets all over my house. Would I be able to plug an NVR at the junction box that has all the CAT5E cables running to various CAT5E outlets throughout the house and then at the CAT5E outlet, plug into the POE camera? I see there's flat CAT5E cabling that is able be used at a...

    NVR Recommendations

    This is very helpful, thank you. I have been doing some testing with 2k WiFi cameras and while daytime video is pretty good, nightime video is horrible (especially with cars moving in and out of the field of view.) Blurry, distorted - horrible. Lol. Would you mind going into a bit more...

    NVR Recommendations

    Hi, I am looking for recommendations on a new NVR. Currently have a Hikvision compatible (LaView) NVR that only records at 1080p and I'm going to get some new IP cameras. I have to stick with IP cameras due to my location requirements and the difficulty in getting POE to the outside...

    Recommendations for a doorbell cam, etc.

    House only has cat5. Maybe I need to find good ip cameras. Still, the challenge is getting any wires outside.

    Recommendations for a doorbell cam, etc.

    HI, I currently have a very old RCA HSDB1 that's still kicking, but I think it's time for an upgrade. I'm recording it with a Laview NVR, which is also pretty old and only capable of 1080p. The condo has CAT5 outlets in various places, but unfortunately none outside and none really near a...

    Laview NVR (Hikvision)

    Hi, I have a Laview NVR (Hikvision) connected to an RCA Wifi Doorbell cam (also Hikvision.) The same time every day I get the following errors messages on my NVR (I'm using NVMS7000 software, which another variant of their software - get the same messages on NVMS4200 as well.) I have the live...

    New Logitech Doorbell Cam

    It looks interesting, but I can't tell if it will have RTSP. It looks like it's motion-based recording onto iCloud for Homekit. https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/cameras/circle-view-video-doorbell.html?crid=1919

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi All, I have the older RCA (HSDB1), but have been following this thread for quite some time and read many pages (great info). I don't want to take too much space here, but I thought I would run by this error that I'm getting every morning around 6:30 AM: There's a wealth of knowledge in...
