New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

kruuth said:
Hey guys, I thought I would post here. I have an REOLink that is white, then flashes white four times. I tried the reset but it didn't do anything. However, I replaced my RING doorbell with this, and yesterday I took the little voltage thing off the doorbell circuit. Could that be the issue? If I plug the doorbell in directly to the provided power adapter, then things work great.

New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

Was wondering if anyone knows "if" this doorbell will work with my 16 channel Lorex NVR. Several years ago I sucessfully installed a Yoo-See SD-M5 video doorbell and connnectd to my Lorex NVR via a Ubiquiti 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter. The SD-m5 works pretty good but I was hoping to upgrade...

Aha. My instructions didn't have that. When I went to the website they mention it there though. Looks to be working now.

Can you post the URL with those instructions...thanks
 
Any idea what the "Doorbell Ringing Volume" on/off switch does? I thought it might enable a volume slider for the exterior device, but for me, it's just on or off and has no visual or audible changes that I can tell.

Sorry, two more questions:
WiFi or POE Version?
Are you seeing any NoSignal(s) in your Log with RTSP?

Thanks

I have the POE version. The firmware wasn't available in the app so I downloaded it from Reolink's site. I don't have any "NoSignal" as of yet and the delay I experienced before seems to be gone.

Nothing to do with BI, but the video feed in the iOS app sometimes times out (both with the old and new firmware). When choosing re-connect it connects right away. Very strange and slightly annoying behaviour.

Interesting - based on the links in the info you provided, I should have a Chime section.
I do not get the Chime section highlighted in yellow. I've tried Chrome and Edge. I have done the factory reset after upgrading.

I don't have that section either. Found the original URL and the screenshot is evidently there.

Doorbell First New Firmware! Support More Smart Home Features & ONVIF with Two-Way Audio

Hi all,Thank you all for being so supportive of our doorbell camera. Your voices and thoughts are valuable to us. We have collected much feedback from you since the doorbell was released, and we have made improvements such as new features and changes in ...

I would really appreciate to be able to control the indoor chime volume remotely. When the kids go to bed I would like to mute, and be notified in other ways through Home Assistant. It could be done with a smart plug and plug the chime into that one, but one drawback with the chime is that it doesn't remember any settings when it loses power. So when turning the chime back on again you're back to default volume and ring tone.

I wasn't thinking the URL. I was looking at the paper one inside the box that I had. I had the jumpers, but there wasn't a mention of what they were for. I should have gone online first.

I have not noticed it and I have been checking my logs pretty regular since I got the DB.

Hardware Video Acceleration not compatible?

What does "HW VA Not Compatible" mean?

I tried searching the forums with no success for this error message. It shows up in Messages under Blue Iris Status, but I don't recall seeing it until the last couple of days. 4 of my 6 cams threw the message today along with a large 10-12 digit (non-repeating) number. It happens to a cam at...

Since I have both POE and WiFi running, I will be upgrading firmware on both soon, just waiting for others and their reports. I am going to try RTSP on my POE again and see if I have any dropped Signals. The WiFi version was definilty giving me problems with RTSP to BI.
