Reolink App v4.44 is Here! Enjoy a Fullscreen Viewing Experience!

[ReolinkShayla]

Hey folks!
Reolink App v4.44 is now available, full screen mode and new immersive mode are included!
Download now on Google Play and the Apple Store to enhance your monitoring experience.
Note: The APP adopts a grayscale release strategy so that the update time will differ in different regions. Simply meaning that it takes some time to arrive in your app store.

What's new:
1. Fullscreen Mode added
The fullscreen player is compatible with most device resolutions. Simply tap anywhere on the screen, and the top and bottom toolbars will automatically disappear, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the content.
Plus, the pinch-to-zoom feature lets you explore the finer details with ease!
How to set up: Tap on the app sidebar - Settings - Default Player - Full Screen Mode.



2. Multi-layout preview of immersive mode added
The immersive preview mode now offers more than just a single column. You can easily switch between browsing modes, including single-column and double-column, to enhance your monitoring efficiency!



3. Doorbell call recording enabled
When using the doorbell intercom via the app, both the caller's and recipient's conversations will be recorded.
4. Package detection added for the new doorbell
The new doorbell supports package detection and can send detection alert images or recordings via push notifications, email, or FTP. The new doorbell will be available about in 2 months. Stay tuned.
5. Wi-Fi network configuration via Bluetooth added for new products
With this feature, you can directly configure your network in the mobile app, eliminating the need for scanning QR codes and making the setup more convenient and efficient!
6. Product Recommendations in the app sidebar added
7. Bugs fixed and user experience improved

We're eager to hear your thoughts! Don't hesitate to share your feedback with us! Thanks!

Really pleased to see the Doorbell call recording (I have previously given feedback on that missing) and package detection.
Looking forward to the new app being available in my region and the PoE firmware update too! Keep up the great work with the improvements & refinements! Still a way to go though

assuming package detection will be for the new doorbell? The original can't see that close to the door.

@ks Yes, according to the description cited above. New doorbell may have a larger FOV or two lenses.

@reolinkshayla tried 4.44, fullscreen mode is better but can't swipe left/right to see next camera. Gone back to 4.40

@reolinkshayla
A great step in the right direction. Will put it to the test when its available here.

@spflmf_288692412260538 According to senior support, this is on their radar and shall be introduced later on.

I can't find anymore how to select the channels I want to see in immersive mode. Did that move somewhere else ?

[joseph_1979]

@seb_526812765704330 It seems to have been removed. Moreover I am getting mobile data each time I run the client and there is no option to remove its appearance. Will report to support.

Seems like there is no progress on the ability for a door bell press to ring a smart phone, like a normal phone call or or internet call app like WhatsApp/Signal and automatically open the Reolink client for the doorbell with video and audio presented.

How does this compare to the opposition I wonder, eg Hikvision.

[joseph_1979]

@dgordon42_415060065599711 I didn't hear anything from support. They should move away from the push notification and base their design on SIP(S) + SRTP or XMPP + SRTP (used by Whatsapp) as has been implemented by other camera suppliers. Of course this design requires SIP servers which entails the client and cam to be registered. SIP is fun...........have been working on this protocol (and many many other protocols) for a long time.

In security one of the most important factor is contacting the owner. We receive lots of push notifications, messages, alerts on our mobile and we tend to ignore. But if it is a call, we do check who is calling. So they can add a feature for the cam to call in the event a particular event is triggered, say glass sound, alarm sound, etc. The ideas depend on one's immagination.
