Hey guys,
Had a quick read of 19 pages on the Reolink doorbell
Has anyone tried to plug this thing directly to another brand NVR? I run a Dahua set up, all cams POE.
Would love to have another camera at the front of my place that is super discrete, so a 5MP doorbell cam would be perfect.
Im not to concerned about notifications and all the fancy Reolink app. Just a discrete cam that can record 24/7 or motion, and make a ding dong sound when someone pushes the button...
Am i asking too much?
The main selling point is the 5MP picture quality and a discrete camera.
Cheers
Oh, im an electrican by trade, so running cables for POE is no probs.

Since it the DB supports ONVIF, I don't see you having any issues...Only issue I had is RTSP, for me RTMP worked better but there are several here running RTSP streams which your NVR will do. May check if your Dahua NVR supports RTMP.Hey guys,

This is with the Sun Out.
Still not getting the people images I would like to see, they are still too dark.
Just FYI, every time I check BI log I have Zero No Signals...Very happy there...
2 Days:
Also getting a better picture now, what I found is when setting image settings manually, brightness, contrast, etc., make small changes.
My present settings:
Cloudy days seem to look pretty good now, will do more settings during sunny days...

Im trying to test out tivimate with RTSP again. Since i switched over to RTMP in VLC, i want to test again in RTSP.
can you tell what you were using for the RTSP address for this doorbell?
rxxp:/admin:YourPassword@YourIP:554/h264Preview_01_sub
Not sure h264 or h265 actually changed my stream when I tested, thinking you can use either

yea, thats what im using, but cant pull up the camera via VLC.
when i put that in, it pops up and asks me for the user and pass again, i put it in, and it fails and says cant open.

Yes.
I thought it was working fine last week when I was trouble shooting the drop outs.
