Reolink Windows Client & iOS App PTZ

fredrik

I have some comments regarding the Client and App for the RLC-823A Camera:

Windows Client:
PTZ pushing plus / minus doesn't work. Same applies for manual focus, plus/minus buttons doesn't work. It is close to impossible to use the slider and obtain a good manual focus. Suggestion: Add selection of manual/auto focus and also a force auto button in manual mode.

iOS App: Pan is moving the camera in far too big steps. Either make the pan control proportional like an analog joystick or make it possible to adjust step size.

RLC-823A: Focus is sometimes painfully slow. There must be something you can do with the focus algorithm I hope.

Thanks anyway for a very nice system!

I agree with everything you said, well stated.

RLC-823A Camera:
I would also like to add that I’m not sure how to use the Privacy Mask and Detection Zone settings with a PTZ camera. They seem to apply to everything, Guard point, presets, and patrol mode. Once they are setup for a certain view, they become useless and need to change anytime you switch to use a different view (like a different Preset). Maybe they should only be applied to the Guard point, or have setups for each preset.

And I agree, it is a nice camera and I hope they’re able to fine tune the firmware more.
