Duo 2v question. Underside compartment

[reolink_332252861841648]

Hi There,

I have just brought a Duo 2v. On the underside is a compartment with 2 screws. I can't see this mentioned anywhere. You can see it in the attachment. At first I thought it was cracked but I think it's meant to be like that? Can someone confirm it's meant to have that line on it? And also what the cover covers!

Thanks.

Matthew

@reolink_332252861841648 Reset and SD slot. Check out this link https://m.reolink.com/product/reolink-duo-2v-poe/?srsltid=AfmBOoqwvk6MBqvJT6gdi_q3hjuJKD2SKPgDy1cWGQHfGe4JclKKhvu2

There is another section for the SD card slot and reset..as per below. It's on the side. The one in my original post is underneath so would not be accessible once mounted.

@reolink_332252861841648 it does not appear to be a crack---too symmetrical. Likely just a cosmetic from the casting mold. It's a service access panel. I removed the screws from one of my cameras (RLC-1240A) and had to pry the plate off as it was also attached with adhesive. There is no reason to attempt removal yourself.

@chopstix don't have this model.

@joseph_1979 I had a 2V but found the VFOV too small so I switched to the standard Duo 2. Actually has both a 3V and 2V at first, but both of them got replaced with standard Duo 2.

@chopstix I have two DUO 2 and their vertical FOV fits well in the scenario. DUO 3 have lower vertical FOV. I cannot find a solid reason for lowering the vertical FOV since the CMOS sensor is not an issue.

@joseph_1979 it's a shame because I would have really preferred dome cameras for my application.
