How to remove fisheye Duo 3

[Bena Smith_398873969086630]

Hi there. I've started using the Duo 3 to record my sons football games. Not the intended use of a security camera I know, but much cheaper than the alternatives and the quality is decent. Does anyone know how to remove the fisheye effect from a video clip (see screenshot below)? I tried a few video editing software apps, but none have a specific fisheye removal setting for duo cameras, also even after experimenting with the settings in the video editor, I could only partially remove the fish eye effect. I previously used a GoPro and it had a linear FOV setting that got rid of the fisheye before recording the image (but the Gopro wide angle was not enough to see the whole pitch). Does the duo 3 have any settings to reduce the fisheye effect? Thanks, Ben

@bena-smith_398873969086630 There is no settings to remove altogether the fisheye effect at the edges.

@bena-smith_398873969086630 Hey Bena. A little late to the party, but wanted to thank you for posting the image of your game as it gave me a chance to play with the lens distortion. I've been evaluating a lot of cameras for soccer and was looking into the Duo 3 when I saw this post. I will fully test again once I buy my camera setup (really wish it was at least 30fps), but I punched your image into Adobe Premiere and was able to get a pretty clean image by using the lens distortion effect. You have to manually create the elliptical but once you have it set right, a -35 curvature seems to be the sweet spot. When I get the camera I'll play with it and make a preset to share, but thought you'd like a heads up. I'm sure with a bit of time and patience, you can get it perfect.

BTW... What was the height of your tripod?

Thank Joseph for the reply. Perhaps Reolink is missing a trick here, guessing its just a software thing but understand there would be a loss of angle (which is fine for me, Id just put the camera further back).

Dont suppose you know how to stop the camera adding white borders around people? See below photo. Also, how to prevent the grass (artificial) from blurring into a load of green pixels? The definition has gone. I've turned the antiflickr off and set the duo 3 to highest resolution and bitrate settings. Other settings (like colour, brightness, etc) are on auto.

How do you provide power to the camera?

@user_771496078160041_771496078160041 I use a standard 8,000mAH powerbank (max 2.0A) to power the camera also to power a mini wifi device. The camera is 12v, so use a simple step up (ie 6v to 12v) adapter (from ebay). The mini wifi is 6v, it plugs straight into the camera's ethernet plug. I let the wifi device access my phone network (ie mobile hotspot) so I can then access the camera to see the view, start/stop recording etc. The mini wifi is set to Client mode. All of this equipment is small and lightweight, so its hung inside a waterproof bag just below the camera.
