@reolink-fiona I am new to Reolink. I have downloaded b;ient 8.5.1 and I am struggling to find a manual to learn "how to"
tried to delete recorded video but nothing happens, I can select video but when I click the sissor icon nothing happens.

all the video on your help page are for a different version, the scrren shots you show are different.

do you have a manual for this up to date version?

[Reolink Fiona]

@godfrey-noakes_475630790275252
The recordings can't be deleted in the APP/Client. If you want to delete the recordings, you need to take out the SD card and delete them on the PC.

The scissor icon is to cut the video to the proper length of the video you want. It is not to delete the recording.

The manual is not updated to the latest version now. You can ask anything you want. We are willing to help.

strange that the reolink desktop app (was 8.3.1) was showing "you already have the actual version installed" when pressing button to check for update and 8.5.1 is already available...

[Reolink Fiona]

@defcon_274148371144872
Have you turned on the auto-upgrade?


You can also check the Client version at "About Reolink".

[trelower2_471448109822110]

@reolink-fiona
Same as Defcon but I have 8.4.0 installed and auto update on but still saying "you already have the actual version installed"??

[Reolink Fiona]

@trelower2_471448109822110
Have you checked if it is 8.5.2 at "About Reolink"? If you have the 8.4.1 but it said that you have installed the 8.5.2, please give me some screenshots and I will find our tech for help.

[trelower2_471448109822110]

@reolink-fiona No I have version 8.4.0 installed and it will not update as states it is already the most up to date version:


As you can see there is no option to upgrade?

[trelower2_471448109822110]

@trelower2_471448109822110 I gave up and just uninstalled the version I had and downloaded and reinstalled the latest version. I dont have time to go back and forwards for a solution.

This should have been tested and sorted before releasing bugged software maybe?

[godfrey noakes_475630790275252]

@reolink-fiona my new client will only show one camera not multi feed
I have to click each camera individually to view live
is there a way to change this to multi view??

[Reolink Fiona]

@godfrey-noakes_475630790275252
@wagner_475544834896042
You can click here to have the muti-view.


If you fail to do that, do you mean that when you click the number, it doesn't show the muti-view? Or you can't see the number?
You can also try to install Client version 8.5.2 and see if it can work.

Download it here,
Windows

Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience caused. Now you can install the Client which downloads from the download center. The latest version hasn't been all put in the background of the Client now. So some users can't be upgraded from the Client. You can find the latest version on the center earlier.

Download Center – Reolink

@reolink-fiona 8.5.2 appeared very quietly (apparently a week since release an my client still couldn't update to it automatically, so I've downloaded manually). Are there any release notes?

[Reolink Fiona]

@liam_93721152131241
Client 8.5.2 is mainly to solve some known issues.

• High CPU consumption on some Mac devices.
• Fail to view the download button when the scale and layout are set to larger than 150%.
• Other known issues.

[wagner_475544834896042]

but there is a big problem: ..it is not possible to see a split screen remotely (i.e. 4,6,8,9,10 ... 36 cameras), only one camera is visible. this works locally without any problems. what to do?

[daniel cavnicar_170162980442347]

Still no option to reorder cameras in Windows client?

[Reolink Fiona]

@daniel-cavnicar_170162980442347
We have a plan to set the feature to reorder the left menu. It will come soon. Stay tuned！

Maybe you have forgotten to leave something here?

[Fizzball_241945990828201]

I have 13 cameras - mainly Argus 2, PT, and PT Go... i still have to run v8.2.6 on MacOS (12.x) as i've found several issues with the later versions, including the Dec 7 release, namely -

1. will not enumerate all cameras upon startup - you have to manually hit 'connect' for each
2. GO (4G) cameras will not display - I've tried to remove and add via UID to no avail. Yet v8.2.6 displays them every time.
3. the enumeration time to display a camera is considerably longer

Thus if you're having odd issues with 8.4.x or 8.5.x on MacOS, i'd give v8.2.6 a try as i've never had an issue with it.

Hi Fizz, Client version 8.5.2 has fixed the high consumption of the CPU on Mac. It may be the cause of the slow connection. You can try the new version. If it can't work fine, you can try to submit the log here, Submit a request – Reolink Support. Then our team will try to look into this specific case.

Dear Support, ( Neil@hbarrie.no )

Just down loaded Ver 8.5.2 for windows Ver 10. Looking good.

I at present notice in the top left hand corner, a little red dot ? ( Pond RLC422 ) - Why ?

I am unable to enclose a pdf file ( Not enough privileges ?? )

Best regards, Neil ( PS: This is the first time I have used this ! )

[Reolink Fiona]

@neil-h-barrie_43834497381
Hi Neil, you can try to reset your camera and see if it still exists. If so, please provide us with a photo of it. You can try to upload the photo instead of pasting here.

I've also noticed the auto-update within the client doesn't work, I don't think it ever has, I have a theory why. If I run the client from the Windows Command Prompt, when it starts it logs a variety of settings out to the console, then checks for a new version and logs the following:-

Checking for update...
Update for version 8.5.2 is not available (latest version: 8.3.1, downgrade is disallowed).
update-not-available

This suggests to me that wherever it's looking for a new version actually has version 8.3.1, which is older than the versions we have.

Hope it helps someone fix it

[Reolink Lorenz]

@gary-d_344027431432324 Thank you for the feedback, Gary. We have not enabled the auto-upgrade for the desktop app now. The only way to upgrade is to download the latest version from our site, https://reolink.com/us/software-and-manual/.

We are planning to allow auto-upgrade in a future version update. Stay tuned for further news!

[suen_andrew_488833462579378]

Not sure if this is a real issue, I just got my E1 PRO set up and downloaded the 8.5.2 Reolink Client for Windows.

Both playback and live viewing feels choppy. This is most apparent in the time stamp, as the seconds move forward, it's almost like there's micro-stutter in the live view.

Other people seem to have commented on this as well in the Reolink Reddit community. Just search 8.5.2 Reolink Client in that subreddit.

[Reolink Lorenz]

@suen_andrew_488833462579378 Hello Suen, thank you for the feedback. You may check the camera info and see if your E1 Pro is running with the latest firmware.

Find the latest firmware here, https://reolink.com/download-center/

When you download firmware, make sure it fits the hardware version of your camera. There are two hardware versions of the E1 Pro camera, one is IPC_513SD5 and the other is IPC_515SD5.

Let us know if you have any questions.

[suen_andrew_488833462579378]

@reolink-lorenz

Yes the E1 Pro has been updated with the latest firmware.
