      Hi Reolinkers,

      Today we have the v8.8.0 Beta Client test! Are you ready for it? Let's see who will be the bug hunter!

      You can download the Client v.8.8.0 installation package via the link:
      Windows: https://bit.ly/3aaO5xE
      MAC: https://bit.ly/3IbwKB0

      What’s New:


      1. Added Time-Lapse function on the live view page
      Time-lapse function is requested by a lot of users. Now it is finally available! It is convenient to create and download the large time-lapse file on the Client.




      2. Added “Hardware decoding first” on the Client settings
      There are two decoding methods, including hardware decoding and software decoding in simple terms.

      GPU performs hardware decoding. Using GPU decoding can reduce CPU workload and power consumption.
      The CPU performs software decoding. It will increase the CPU workload and increase power consumption.

      So the hardware decoding button is defaulted on, and we will use the hardware decoding first. But some users may meet the compatibility issue between the GPU and the Client, which causes a black screen. If you meet the problem of a black screen, you can try to disable the “hardware decoding first.” If you encounter the freeze issue, you can also disable this button, but this requires a more powerful CPU to operate.



      3. Added “Battery Cameras Power-Saving Mode” on the Client settings
      If you enable this mode, the battery camera will automatically disconnect after 5mins without operation. This can save battery power.
      Continuous streaming will drain the battery fast. But if you want continuous streaming for a period of time, you can disable the Battery Cameras Power-Saving Mode.


      4. Added thumbnail display on the preset point, guard point, and patrol points settings(Available with the next new firmware.)
      We add the thumbnail display on the settings to better locate the preset point, guard point and patrol points.


      5. Added “Forgot your password?” prompt on the login page
      What if I forgot the password? You can click the “Forgot your password” on the login page, and then it will guide you on how to do to reset the password.




      6. Added the permissions of the audio alarm and spotlight settings for user accounts

      7. New products adaption

      Improvements:


      1. Optimized user interaction and feature icons on preview and playback.
      2. Optimized firmware upgrade strategy to shorten the time spent on the upgrade.
      3. The configuration of the auto-tracking type will be saved and restored the next time you enable the auto-tracking under the alarm setting.


      4. You can also enter our community via the About page now!

      Fixed:


      1. Fixed the problem of the plus and minus signs for zoom not working in the PTZ window.
      2. Fixed other bugs.

            8.8.0 is still randomly freezing the live camera views. This is the 3rd update in a row that hasn't fixed the issue.

            8.5.2 is the latest version that still works as intended.

            This is getting old...

              The freezing isn't happening for me right now but the black screens remain despite changing the Hardware decoding toggles in the settings.

                @john_350143387672724 Thank you for the head up. I will point out in the article that the thumbnail of the guard point and preset point will be available with the next new firmware.

                  Time-Lapse function is restricted to some cameras only ? I don't see it with 8.8.0 and DuoPOE camera

                    @reolink-fiona Thanks Fiona for releasing the beta client. I did some preliminary tests and so far so good. I didn't get any black screen for the last two hours and not even any freezing issues. Freezing is mostly attributed to transport delays, bandwidth, jitter, etc. Of course I have an excellent transport medium with optimal bandwidth (1G/500M) both at home and at work (the service provider). Download is fine too and PTZ is fine. I will conduct further testing when I have some free time at home. From the Windows client I am able to change the timing for the guard point but this is not the case for the Android application. One has to delete and re-create.

                      Ich betreibe 13 Kameras (523, 511, E1 Zoom usw.) an einem NVR, habe die V 8.8.0 installiert und sehe nicht bei einer Kamera die Zeitrafferfunktion (WIN10 mit letzten Updates). Vermutlich bin ich aber ein Einzelschicksal 😉

                        so hardware decoding is turned off?
                        Which graphics card are you using?

                        Could be a setting on the card or a driver issue

                              Deleting a completed time lapse video on the Window Client:
                              On the Time Lapse window, the deletion of a completed video will remove it from the window, but it does not delete it off the SD card. If you close the Time Lapse window and reopen it again the video shows up and is still there.

                              Is there a way to delete a time lapse video off the SD card.

                                @geschinsky_376216486543563 geht das nur mit SD-Card und nicht über den NVR?

                                    So far so good, I approve...

                                    PS... One question, I guess we don't get time laspe if we have a NVR? Is that why I never see the feature?
