🚪Corridor Mode Now Supported on Some Models!

Reolink Daisy

Hi everyone,
Corridor Mode is now available on the 810A, 820A, 840A and 840WA to better meet your needs. This mode displays the screen at 9:16, which allows HD cameras to cover a larger vertical area—nearly doubling the effective surveillance area—while reducing the number of cameras needed, ultimately lowering your costs.
After the camera is manually rotated 90° and Corridor Mode is enabled, your camera will restart, and the view will switch from 16:9 to 9:16, with the resolution completely reversed. The AI model will also adapt to this mode, resetting sensitivity settings, non-detection zones, and privacy masks to default. We recommend reconfiguring these settings before putting the camera back into use.
Note: To enable this feature, make sure your camera is updated to the latest firmware version. Currently, Corridor Mode can only be turned On or Off via web browsers. However once the camera is connected to an NVR, enabling/disabling the mode is no longer supported.

If the normal doorbells (black) had been set up so that they could be configured in corridor mode (like the WHITE doorbells), it never would have been necessary to have a totally different color doorbell to tell them apart. With that implementation, the customer could choose either color regardless of their implementation.

We have a very narrow archway before getting to our front door. As a result, I had to buy a WHITE doorbell. A BLACK doorbell would have looked far better in our entrance-way, but unfortunately the wide field of view with the BLACK doorbells just results in a massive amount of the IR light being reflected back at the doorbell camera from the walls, ceiling and floor. Also, since the vertical field of view of the black doorbells is more limited, most people have the tops of their heads cut off in the view due to how close they have to stand to the camera on our doorstep.

So in order to get the portrait format that I need, I have to use a white doorbell which aesthetically doesn't look as good. You should add the corridor mode to ALL doorbells regardless of their color.

BTW, the vertical format of the white doorbells provide good view of the floor in front of our door to reveal packages that the black doorbell doesn't provide.

Hi there,

just bought 4 of the RLC-843A. Will that feature be added there too? Why only on the older models? If not I would return them and exchange for the 840A.

Thanks for your feedback.
