@user_822884704698612_822884704698612 Need more details on how its connected? using POE switch? You cant see your DHCP table within your router? There should be a list of connected clients within the router.If you could bring the camera down plug it up closer to the router with a short drop cable, that will confirm is there is a faulty cable or cam.
I have a mac mini set to auto log in with the Reolink to launch. It saves the cam layout.Also with a WIndows PC. I have 6 cameras layed out in a certain way and it hasnt moved yet. I noticed I have to click on the 1st cam in the list, click the 6 box lay out, and move cams around. When I click on the 1st cam, click the 6 cam layout, it's there. It stays there after a reboot, autologin, and auto launch.
@davideotto No hard drive or POE. is the gist.I prefer the RLN36 over the Home Hub cuz you can add 3rd party cams to it per ONVIF or RTSP. When you add cams to the Home Hub the Cams GUI gets locked.
@joseph_1979 I think ReoLink banks on being affordable (hardware cost and no subs) and a very basic amount of features. There are times when I have thought about spending the money $$ on more expensive cameras and NVRs to get the "current" basic features. I have a mixed bag of cameras on my home for testing. I'm trying to figure out which brand I want to stick with. Fully customized motion zones. Not a do not record painting feature. WDR/HDR. Fully customized scenarios. At least give us a all cam motion display section within the phone app when connected to the a NVR/HH. When I click on the NVR/HH through the phone app, all the cams should live feed. All these are normal features within 2025.I know they showed in a previous expo show that they had full motion zones displayed. I think that was like 2 years ago. just silence. Reolink has been out far too long to take this long for basic features. If they need help testing and QA this stuff, I'm game. I literally worked for a large manufacture doing this stuff. I want ReoLink to succeed, I think they have great products.
@user_951254242668760_951254242668760 I use mine as full time recording... 24/7 For quick access my fam and I use the SD card playback. If we need more indepth footage, we pull from the NVR. my clients do the same as @joseph_1979 mentioned full time recording and a backup.
You should be able to add a camera through the NVR GUI or the Reolink APP.Restricting it to the hooking it up to a monitor is out dated. The NVR's GUI that shown through the monitor should be close to what the web GUI looks like.Thanks,Jeff
@user_961951840002251_961951840002251 This isnt done by the wireless cam or client. A few things here... check if you have band steering on your wireless router, that will cause this! Turn it off.If you have the Mini-Rssi option... turn it on the 5ghz at -73. This will manually boot you low signal clients off and force them to roam to the 2.4 band.
Super awesome footage dude!
I think you need to look at what you are needing.Ultra wide is ultra...wide. But it usually has a very small vertical FOV. Unlike the 1240A, which had a huge FOV, but not as wide as the ultra-wide cams. I prefer the ultra wide if I'm trying to capture a large area. Then i use other models when I need more accurate view.
It would be nice to have a 3 cam or a 2 cam option for Duo cams. Where it shows 2 duos as widescreen. or 3 cams with the 1 duo at top as wide screen and 2 cams below in a squared box. PC Client already does it, with 2 cam setting. Currently the only has a 4 cam option.
I have quite a few 1240A and I love them!Very large picture and very crisp. The spotlight is a warm brightness.
How do I ask? I cant DM anyone...I guess I could tag her?@Reolink-Alyson Could I be a moderator? Per The 2 awesome guys in this thread.Thanks,KG!
It will be here tomorrow... I ordered some more non pro cams with it. I took Friday off to install them.The price isnt that bad... im looking forward to the 30 FPS and WDR. I ordered a SD card for local recording and AI testing. It's going to be installed on a regular RLN-36 NVR also. I have my fingers crossed.
@reolink-alyson new track mix?? @joseph_1979 @Chopstix looks awesome!
I will post my experience here... I have not seen any reviews as of now. I have 1 spot that this will work for. I finally dropped the hammer on it.I will keep you all in the loop... @joseph_1979 and @Chopstix Kinda sucks I can't DM you too in a group chat.
@mgolczak_455919485563133 I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but you bought one of the cheapest cams they sell and complained about "mid-class reliable" and "premium" product? Bruh! They were nice enough to go the extra mile for you. Your assessment/review is way off base. You bought one of the cheapest cams they have and EXPECTED more than what you paid for.
I messaged an agent over chat and they said yes...
Ive read the non pro cams can be added to the pro NVRs.But what about the other way around? Pro Cams to Non Pro NVRs?ThanksKG!
@user_956463287464132_956463287464132 The late response is from the PIR sensor. That's how it works. Main reason I do not like battery powered cams. Sometimes you have no choice. But it still sucks tho.I have a PT Ultra too and do not have the issues everyone is talking about. My cam returns to its set point.
