camera connection quality and speed monitor
-
I am missing a set of features that would help admins.
- instead of showing just transmitting speed (for example android client), show also ping or packet loss (or other connection problems like insufficient bandwidth)
- ability to run a quick network check - speedtest to nvr or reolink server. I currently have some network problems when cameras (without nvr) operate on high bitrate (8mbps) and are transmitting signal over 5G network. this would help me resolve the issue and find the root cause.
- ability to run a quick read/write test of the sd card to know if the speeds are sufficient.

@vigy_591093180735512 I told them that the speed tests and other WIFI parameters should be available from the camera side and not the smartphone. We can use any of the myriads applications available like ookla.

@joseph_1979 just to be super-clear, client (android for example) should be just displaying camera's network stats and when generating network load, this also should be done solely between camera and reolink server (or nvr). client just displays the result. no proprietary code or service needs to be utilized, just use something like iperf3 (free, bsd license). implement iperf3 server into reolink website and reolink nvr, implement iperf3 client into camera, introduce anti-abuse policy and management controls (user interface to client) and that's it. i'm aware i made it sound simple.

@vigy_591093180735512 Reolink dev team has to implement. I know how to implement and code it but I am a customer.
So I suggest you to submit your request to support like what I normally do. -
@joseph_1979 dev team does not read the forum/wishlist?
-
@vigy_591093180735512 I don't think so. We are 3 to 4 answering queries based on our technical skills and experience gained on the models we have. We are all customers and busy with our job. When we have some free time we log and provide support wherever possible.

@joseph_1979 that means there is no point in having wishlist on this forum then

@vigy_591093180735512 This is stated in all communities that the best way to be heard is to email support. And the more requests they receive for a specific feature the higher the probability we see it implemented.
