    If anyone is using the new TP-Link Tapo C125 can you please post a review

    Heh, it's supposed to be CA? Canada? oh well.. Thanks for the reply, I picked one of these up as I have a friend across the border, so far I'm pretty happy with it, however the claim of 30FPS is invalid, it doesn't do more than 15fps - even though in the app you can select 15/20/25/30, the...

    If anyone is using the new TP-Link Tapo C125 can you please post a review

    Hi, I just noticed that TP-Link has a new camera, the C125 2K and this looks exactly what I'm looking fall, small profile with wide angle (for indoor use), however I can only see it available in the US at BestBuy. I am curious if this is some rebrand of a dahua internal because generally these...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Well, one easy way to prevent the camera from reaching outside your LAN is to give it a static IP (instead of using DHCP - and you can certainly do this as I have the Reolink POE doorbell and have done this) and do not put in a gateway, or put in a fake IP for your gateway (not the IP of your...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    How do you get the temperature line in there above the date/time, is that through BI on top of the video? Pretty nice! I'd like to put that on my Lorex2K

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    I've used the SmartPSS app to connect to my Lorex 2K doorbell in hopes to remove that stupid Lorex logo off the screen - no can do (apparently on the Amcrest this is possible via the API commands). I've also changed some video settings via the SmartPSS app, but the doorbell picture became...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Can this be done via SW? I.e. could be added vie a FW update, hopefully Reolink will do this, would be great. Also agree would be great to have this.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Just picked up the WiFi version of this doorbell, I didn't bother going through the typical setup, but plugged it into power then into a patch cable, the RJ45 port works. Haven't set up WiFi but I see option for it in the Network menu. Can this work on both Wifi and Wired? Interesting

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I see a lot are using the app UI for this doorbell, and a lot using the WIFI version of this doorbell. I bought this (POE version) doorbell to cover the inside as it has the very large viewing angle (160deg I think - which is perfect for my use), and it's POE so removing a wireless WC3 with RTSP...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    How accurate are the ONVIF trigger events, is it accurate at detecting human movement? I am using it indoors with BI motion sensing and I'd rather it not get triggered by the curtains getting moved by wind :)

    For Audio I use RTSP AAC Alternate Decoder Live Audio works great for me, give it a go.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Is there an official review of this, I'm curious as there is one contributor that does review for almost all cameras (thank you for that). I have to say, that quality wise, this camera uses a worse sensor than the Lorex 2k doorbell, it doesn't work as well in low light as the Lorex 2k - this is...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Yup, tried all sort of ports, actually did a full port scan on it and these are the only ports open looks like, SPSS won't work with it, if someone knows how to make it work I'd love to know! I see from the teardown post that it would be easy to pop off and paint, so if I need to I'll go that...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hi all, I picked up one of these to test, and if I like it I will keep it. Got it from Amazon.ca and it was $100 as there was a $30 coupon... anyway, easy returns if it doesn't work out. This is a long thread, I wasn't able to read all posts, but so far I'll post my experience and have a few...

    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    Are there any best steps to downgrade a firmware (i.e. reset, etc after upgrade)?

    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    I guess the question is how does one turn off the siren on the later FW. The one you provided DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.bin has this option, but also later versions address security issues so what is the recommended step?

    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    I upgraded mine to V2.800.0000026.0.R, Build Date: 2022-08-22 and can confirm that the Audio Linkage is also missing. -what does this function do anyway, I don't find any documentation on it "Audio Linkage" I don't use the detection on the camera, I use BI instead, but this is a good point.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I noticed there is a new firmware here: Index of /Firmware/Kamery -IP- stałopozycyjne/LITE265 Does Dahua have any release notes on firmware, where would one find something like that? How is 210707 working, still stable??? Cheers and thanks!

    That's unfortunate, but I think it is a user issue (i.e. you are missing a step), just like it was for me the first time where I couldn't get it to work. If you want to post your step by step workflow I am willing to help!

    Success!! Thank you for the instructions TXT file @val-ipcam , and also I appreciate you responding, as I was very frustrated and wasted a lot of time. @exarkun see below 1) I missed the part about having the 2nd IP (192.168.1.1) - my mistake here!!! 2) For me there was also the problem of...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    Called back lorex after they sent me the wrong fw link, and was told there is no newer firmware than the 2018 one for the LNB8105 or LNB8211 (same camera). Would much prefer to have the Dahua fw on it. @val-ipcam any chance you can chime in here considering you were able to flash the Dahua fw...

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    Since these doorbells are all Dahua rebranded, do they still try to TFTP at boot time in order to grab firmware, like the POE cameras, or do they have a different behaviour? I'm tempted to try and load up Dahua firmware on it via SmarPSS, but I don't want to hose it... :)

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I would try it at $55 if it can be powered off the doorbell wiring; where do you see it at $55?? I can't get ethernet there, but it's my side door, and really it would be ideal to get a camera on the side as I don't have a way to get power for any camera there.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I called Lorex, gave them the model number and then they told me to download this and upgrade it via the GUI. However it didn't work. In their email where link was provided, it said for "LNB8973B" which is definitely not the LNB8211/8105. I don't know if the features matter or it's supposed to...
