Re: #Important Feature: Reset

What does the factory Reset on the camera regarding Reolink cloud infrastructure? Data flow from the camera to the internet and Reolink?

@user_63_633151097208875 it just reset the configuration to its default one....the one configured at the factory. Depends on the scenario, data can flow between camera and client (Android, IoS, Windows and Mac), from camera to cloud (saving recorded video, RPN, etc), between camera and NVR, from camera to ftp server (if you opt to store the recorded video onto an ftp server), from camera to SMTP server (email), from camera to reolink message server to Google FCM (push notification) to your smartphone, from camera to Reolink P2P server (to update source IP), and many more.

Thanks @joseph-chircop_497308027822318 for your response... however I'm even more worrying about "the default configuration" that you'd expect to be cloud by default, and default is weak password, so should I conclude, open access by default?
