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.

Finally a battery powered door bell! Been waiting for this for a long time!!

Will it have capabilities for a solar panel?

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 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.

I know on my reolink nvr, there is a auto scan feature when trying to add a cam to a channel. Does the Amcrest cam show up in that list?

@johnsonm2_326272226037961

So if you did a factory reset... You will need to add the cams back to the channels.

The network ports the non functional cams are plugged into, do they have lights blinking on them? Want to confirm their active and hot.

You can look into your wireless router... It should show your cameras wireless connections specs.

I worked for a large tech vendor... their method to their madness between device revisions was internal hardware vendor changes. This usually doesn't equate to performance changes, just vendor changes. Who they bought the parts from. For example, if they bought their chipset from Vendor A, that would be V1, or vendor B, would be V2.

This was amplified during COVID, when stock shortages was on the rise. Most companies moved production locations to different countries, but that would negate a new version number. V1 made in China, V2 made in Vietnam... Just an example.

Just to confirms ALL cams are plugged into the back of the NVR? Tried rebooting the NVR?

It would be nice if "linked devices" would include more camera models.

Almost all of the cams have spotlights and or sirens. Would be nice if we could active them in scenarios.

@kimchigun For the most part, dBm is the way that most network engineers measure signal strength. This is how we measure it at work. However, many manufacturers use an additional measurement called RSSI ( Received Signal Strength Indicator) to measure signal strength. Most probably Reolink is using this parameter.

The most accurate measurement of WiFi signal strength is measured in mW. However, there ends up being a bunch of decimal places because WiFi has low transmit power, so we more commonly measure in the decibels with relation to milliwatts known as dBm. Since WiFi signal strength is less than zero dBm, it's measured in the negatives.

But RSSI is only a relative index because each manufacturer uses an arbitrary set of units. This unit of measurement is different all the time because it's being pulled from the client's device.

For example, the Atheros WiFi chipset measures RSSI based on values 0 (no signal) to 60 (max. signal). While other chipsets might use different values, such as 0-100 or even 0-255. I have no idea what chipset Reolink is using. I never opened their cameras so far.  All I can say is that with other cams the signal strength indicator is more realistic than on TM.

Hey Dude, I don't even know how to answer this. You went on a rant of wireless signal readings. But I was just specifying in layman terms on how wireless works. It's a 2 way street. You took this left on a curiously odd reason. I am a network/wireless engineer BTW... So yeah, keep on keeping on dude. I applaud you for all the work you do in the forums.

Ohhh more smart detection added... this is nice! Cant wait for it to release to other models!

Been waiting for the "Zone" configurations for a while... Great Job Reolink!

@mamymam2013_465350299701478

WiFi Signal is a 2 way street... the device needs to be reach back to the wireless router, and vice versa.
