Don't know much about NVRs but can yours handle the higher res. from this DB? Which of course you could lower the res. but lose the gain of the video quality this DB has. What model is your NVR?
I only have 4 drops in over 10 hours.

It's great they are working on a fix. In monitoring my BI logs these past few months, none of my Dahua CAMs had Any drops at all. Even my WiFi DB1 variant only had a couple in 30 days. I can understand on the WiFi version, but the POE version should perform the same as other CAMs. From my research this has been a long problem with ReoLink CAMs. Hope they get it fixed.I only have 4 drops in over 10 hours.
I am using an updated firmware from Reolink they sent me to fix RTSP streams.

Handling the resolution shouldn't be a problem. Specs on my Lorex NVR - Model N861D63 -16-Channel - Recording resolution 4K (8MP)/5MP/4MP/3MP/1080p/720p. FYI: I contacted Reolink to see if I could use their doorbell with my Lorex NVR and no big surprise... they said "No" they don't support Lorex products and suggested I purchase their comparable unit Model RLN16. That said, in checking the specs of both their unit and my Lorex NVR share the same 25W per port power draw, the same H.265/H.264 video compression, and since the doorbell supports the same IEEE 802.3 af/at standard on my NVR I should be golden. NET: From a hardware standpont the doorbell should be compatible. The only caveat is the Lorex NVR firmware / software won't support non Lorex cameras anymore than it supported the Yoo-See SD-M5 doorbell when I installed. Guess I was wondeirng if any Lorex NVR owners gave it a shot! The most annoying aspect of the Yousee doorbell is the recordings via the doorbell show the date as Jan 01,1970 and it can't be set to the correct date/ time via the Lorex firmware. Thinking I might just order the Reolink and give it a shot.
You would probably get the same response if you called Lorex. Wonder if Skywatch will be any different, probably not.
I am using the POE version just because that’s what i wanted to use due to WiFi stability issues. I record 24x7 sub stream with high res main stream. It’s definitely more clear than the Amcrest and their support is 100x better than Amcrest support, at least in my experience.
Great! Thanks the the information. I'm not sure I can get a cable to the DB so I plan on getting the WiFi version so I hope it works the same.
I have both POE and WiFi versions and see no difference.
Thank, That's good to know. We just had the house built and I could have selected where I wanted additional Cat6 cables and I didn't pick the doorbell because I didn't know about the POE option. I can probably get a cable there but I'd rather not at this point.
Hmmm. I got mine hooked up and my Mech. Chime is still connected yet no buzz. What Chime do you have?
Do you know what size transformer you have? You may need to increase it.
In theory this DB does not send voltage to an existing Chime, like my DB1 or your Ring did when button is pressed. Do you still have your Power Kit from your Ring connected at your Chime?
And they included a little jumper for bridging the chime terminals. So that's probably it. It's bypassed now, hopefully that'll fix the buzz. If not I'll probably remove the chime entirely and wire a nema receptacle for the Reolink chime.
