ReoLink E1 Outdoor

[JPBottazzoli]

Hi,
I ordered 3 of thus cameras by Amazon. The tech descriptions on Amazon says that this cameras are compatible with ONVIF and RTSP.
The setup to the Reolink app is easy, but the connection from BI is not working. The support web from ReoLink show videos on how to setup the camera in BI but nothing is working.
The BI search shows the camera with a ONVIF port 9000. Not any of the proposed settings are working.

Question: Are those cameras really compatible or do I have to send them back? Or do you have a setup profile?

Any help is welcome, thanks in advance, regards JPB

Send them back. It is well known that Reolinks don't work well the BI.

They are getting better and playing with BI, but even then the image quality at night is poor if that is something you are concerned with.

The invisible man, where can he be. Thank goodness he is carrying around a reflective plate to see where he is LOL (hint - the person is literally in the middle of the image at the end of the fence)

I've seen better images on an episode of ghost hunters

What you mean a missing hand isn't normal LOL :lmao (plus look at the blur on the face and he is barely moving and this should be ideal indoor IR bounce and it struggles):

Here is the unofficial Reolink thread.

You can see all the attempts people have provided to demonstrate the quality of Reolink, and they are all a blurry mess at night or missing body parts or other messes.

We have challenged someone to provide a clean capture of someone moving at night with a Reolink and as you can see with 20 pages, nobody has yet to provide a usable image with motion at night.

Reolink's algorithm is designed to produce a nice bright static image at night and that comes at a cost of blur and ghost and missing body parts at night.

+1^^^.
@JPBottazzoli I'm sorry you didn't come to IPCT sooner before purchasing that camera but I agree with @wittaj , I'd send it/them back.....BI and Reolink is a poor relationship...except their video doorbell does work well with BI. I use BI and have 2 of their doorbells,
