Any thoughts on this use case would be appreciate. Looking for send out a message to intruders between 10pm and 6 am that the police have been contacted.
Well, Reolink doesn't accept a .wav file from Blue Iris, per support. I called them and they confirmed they can do it through their app but not in Blue Iris. So, if I have four cameras they are managed in the app, which is not what I want. Thanks for the reply, but I think not on Reolink Duo 3. Maybe their support "person" is wrong?
"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....
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."
We even have a master thread documenting these issues, along with the poor night time performance.
Can you not upload any type of audio file directly into the Reolink and have the AI of reolink play the file or have BI play it?
Reolink, like other Cam systems want to keep you in their ecosystem. So interoperability is stymied.
Like the fucking piece of Chit Costco Night Owl DVR which I began this Cycle/Journey of learning spending money, or vica versa.
