Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

I can concur that I'm having the exact same issue.

However, with the number of ongoing issues I've had to deal with over the last 6 months, Reolinks just ain't worth it anymore. I've also dealt with the BI developers and Reolink's Support which is how I got the firmware, which, after 6 months, haven't been released to the public as yet.... :thumbdown:

Just the past weekend we were robbed and the Reolinks were nothing more than an absolute waste of space, time and energy on a wall.

BlueIris SHOULD remove all references to Reolink and clearly state that the brand is not supported. Full stop.

As such, I'll echo @sebastiantombs , @SouthernYankee and numerous others whom held the same view when I first joined this form in search of some enlightenment on all-things-not-working-re-Reolink and all-possible-workarounds-to-hopefully-make-it-work-re-Reolink. It's not worth it. It's a difficult pill to swallow, but you've burned cash and Reolink will just pay you until you cannot return the crap for a refund.

I can add some value though. If you wanna buy super cheap cameras, less than half the price of the cheapest Reolink, get Jovision. Cheap $35 plastic that actually works and once the IR led burn out, a cheap LED PIR makes them more useful than what any Reolink has ever been.

I am sorry to hear that. Sadly another post showing how poorly the reolinks perform when something happens.

Any not so great captures of the blur-ghost that you captured to share here - someone may recognize the blob LOL.

^That is outstanding quality LOL.

I would like to think that is a joke, but sadly I bet it isn't.
 
Shut off hardware acceleration if you're using it.
