With this feature enabled, images noises will be reduced and the brightness values of each pixel will be increased, which result in overall image quality and clarity improvement espcially at nighttime.

Find Binning Mode option in Camera Settings-> Display-> Advanced Settings


Here are two image samples with binning mode ON and OFF. More details and contracts are shown with binning mode enabled.

4. Optimize IR-cut day/night switching.

5. Enhanced Smart Detection feature.
a. Upgraded intelligent models.
b. Improved accuracy in people, vehicle, and pet detection while reducing false alerts.

This firmware fails to load on my RLC-1212A. I notice a difference in the description:
My camera:
Model RLC-1212A Hardware: IPC_523B1812MP
Updated firmware:
Model RLC-1212A Firmware IPC_523B18128M12MP

I received the 1212A camera over a year ago as a "Test". Did that camera "quietly disappear" when the actual production model came out?

@crimp-on_62210811129 12MP cameras with hardward version 523B1812MP delivers 2160p images while 12MP cameras with hardware 523B18128M12MP delivers 2512p images (4512*2512). Your camera can be upgraded to 2512p version with a firmware update.

Before doing so, we may need to confirm if you are using the 12MP camera with an NVR and if yes, which hardware version your NVR has. If you are having an H3MB18, N2MB02, or N3MB01 NVR, you may not enjoy this update as your NVR won't handle 2512p resolution.

If you are not using the camera with an NVR, or you are running newer NVR with hardware version N5MB01, N6MB01, or N7MB01, let us know and we will guide you to update the camera.

No NVR. Camera is accessed only with the Windows Client and Android app.

Will this update work with the RLK8-1200D4-A camera kit with the V2 NVR??

@user_732783462150313_732783462150313 I suggest you to email Reolink support. I don't have this camera.
