I'm disappointed that my NVR, bought only a year ago, is still stuck on old v2 firmware

hardware: H3MB02
Config version: v2.0.0.0
Firmware Version: v2.0.0.4725_1724_20120700

--the downloads page says:
Firmware Version v2.0.0.4725_1724
Updated Feb. 1, 2021
Apply to Camera Hardware Version(s) (How to find your camera’s hardware version?)
H3MB02

@reolink-fiona go pt user here. I live in an area with no internet available. I would love to see a system that would link multiple cams together and run thru 1 4G account instead of having to running multiple go pt 4g. I love my go pt but multiples can get expensive
Thanks for a great product

@reolink-fiona not sure if you already have this, but the ability to recognize and read license plate numbers would be great!!!

I love my outdoor 5x optical zoom Reolink camera. I get some great videos of deer and wild turkeys in our backyard.

@reolink-fiona It would be cool to see the official integration in Home Assistant, and of course new devices

[md]

@rlsbf99_472873731580105 The technology and firmware needed to read license plates is expensive. There are dedicated license plate reader cams available if you want to spend hundreds or over a thousand dollars each. They are used at bank and government facilities, toll booths, etc. but none in the budget price range most homeowners want to spend. You just can't get Cadillac features at cheap car prices. I like my Reolink cams, great value IMO.

[beuford318_472950590509208]

@homerspaint_484217047855263 you need a cheaper iot plan or setup a mesh with one 4g cpe router. If they are less then 30m apart, you could totally build a zigbee or ble mesh with an aggregate endpoint consisting of one large USB or sd storage on a router board with minipcie and sim slot allowing modem upgrades as cost, opportunity, and reliability allows. You could build it with openwrt if you weren't stuck on proprietary firmware. It's still possible but would require some unsupported hacking of the cameras. Reolink could utilize their iot IP and build that solution but their marketing and product roadmaps most likely wouldn't allow such shenanigans.

[beuford318_472950590509208]

@mdunning_323765759099098 champagne tastes on a beer budget. Reolink, the miller high life of cameras.

@beuford318_472950590509208 Lift a bottle, cheers to Reolink, I'll drink to that!

[apgrayusa_397769652220157]

@reolink-fiona

Very interested in any new cameras, especially for indoor (ala Aqara G3) and improved FPS for night vision.

[trrombley_104879498739842]

@rlsbf99_472873731580105 yes, but I have clients that ask for this and I would really love to stick with Reolink for all my camera needs.

[md]

@trrombley_104879498739842 I agree. Even though quality license plate reader cams are expensive, if Reolink made one, I'd buy it. Tell your clients such cams cost big bucks.

You want to be able to read licence plates on the deer and wild turkeys?

[Peter_65893771506]

@reolink-fiona New firmware, hope to get more flexible ftp possibilities. E.g. having the option to send images with the same filename all xx sec/mins to have an uptodate webcam image on my site.

[Reolink Fiona]

@paul-m_356689077891222
Hi Paul, this is the latest firmware for the NVR with hardware H3MB02 now. If there is any news with the update, we will let you know.

[Julian_491625441718516]

@reolink-fiona when can expect the Alexa support?

[Reolink Lorenz]

@julian_491625441718516 Hi Julian, which camera model are you referring to?

[faasio82_480971996033257]

I hope new firmware for the 523WA!

[Reolink Lorenz]

@faasio82_480971996033257 Hello Fassio, we will upload the latest firmware for RLC-523WA soon.

If you want to try it out now, download the beta version here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VWP1nZLeD0xB44b_lpbfkYB79FKBs7Hz/view?usp=sharing, and let us know if you have any questions.

[clive777_157426668191909]

Hi ...this is a great start to the year ...all ways like a give away ..be interested to see what you guys bring out next ..I would like you to invent a camera that will set off a alarm when a swimming pool surface is broken ...for safety ..if a Child fulls in .......Clive

[info_464311259250869]

@clive777_157426668191909 that is an interesting suggestion. Would a 4G PT Go do the job if you set it on a timer after usual hours? It has given me food fir thought though, thank you

[Reolink Lorenz]

@clive777_157426668191909 Hi Clive, we don't plan to design a camera specifically for a swimming pool. Anyway, we will make a note of it

[faasio82_480971996033257]

@Reolink-Lorenz: What changes are made in the new firmware?
Thank you.

[Reolink Lorenz]

@faasio82_480971996033257 We will publish a post on this firmware with all details on what's new on Jan. 20 (Thursday). Stay tuned!

[tenback_266134903410848]

Hope there will be a false positive button, so you can mark a false positive to make the ai algorithm even smarter.
Maybe also a negative mark button, when for example a person is in the video, but not detected by the camera.

[Kristof]

Rumors say there might be a doorbell as well? Heck that would be awesome if the price is right But also an inner doorbell/gong then...

[Reolink Lorenz]

@kpb_459314713632931 Yep, there is a doorbell coming soon! And it will come with an indoor chime. Stay tuned!

[Tazzy_423116622815407]

.... a doorbell that chimes

[brian nielsen_442682315796643]

I hope that come new firmware with better fps in night time.
So fps dont going 50% down with night vision.
And better iframe settings so it can work fine with Blue Iris and there keyframe settings.

[sncz cmlo_147211727880431]

hope new firmware... some love for C1 pro

[jesper_389887523983580]

Looking forward to seeing all the news

[0_491211408220387]

Ye do please

[useless box+reo_491212164313322]

It may sound silly, but I requested a doorbell camera back in November of 2020. I'm super happy to see something come to the market and look forward to what Reolink offers!

[kaimynas_413375238074585]

[tucker3738_367076416745686]

My wishes for this week, new firmware for all devices, and free cameras to all....

[Zincer1000]

I’m interested in all parts! In particular, 19th product roadmap (doorbell camera) and 20th, 21st software roadmap (rich notification with preview image). I’m excited

[kimkight_344131268055285]

Where do we go to watch or participate.

[md]

Hoping for new firmware for the 823A with auto tracking both horizontal and vertical so the cam can follow someone walking underneath it. It's a great camera, I really like it!

[Reolink Lorenz]

@mdunning_323765759099098 We will release a firmware update with vertical tracking for RLC-823A soon. Stay tuned!

[leehwhiz_407288557756651]

With this being a new year, it would be nice to get some software that would make the programming of new Reolink equipment easier. Apparently an update must have come out and it messed up my NVR, so I have to go back through it step by step to correct the issue.
