@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.
@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.
@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.
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_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.
@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.
@user_603788725944329_603788725944329 Add them per their UID that will create the cloud link between your app and the cams.
@reolink-alyson Ok.. I think I read It wrong...
Capture a full 4K wide view for situational awareness while the second lens delivers up to 6× hybrid zoom for close details (faces, license plates, or package labels) without losing the big picture
So its clear enough to read LP's but it will not record/snapshot, right?
@reolink-alyson I read that this cam does LPR... will that be written to the SD card? Or does it need the new NVR for this feature?Also can this be written to the current NVRs?Will there be a POE version?@Chopstix @joseph_1979
This is what I'm talking about. It's not a switch being compatible. It is a feature that makes the lag. IGMP Snooping, Loop Detection, STP, Multicast/Unicast feature... these are the things off the top of my head that I would investigate. I've been a network/wireless engineer for almost 20 years. I added my cameras manually to the NVR. Per a static and I entered the static into the NVR. IGMP Snooping would help with the scanning of devices across switches and VLAN. Maybe enabling that will help?
@reolink_333507142684871 All my cams are connected remotely across the LAN and S2S VPN. I do not have any cams connected directly to the NVR. Across the LAN port on the NVR.
This shouldn't be happening at all. Regardless of the VLAN. There is a lag in your network some where. Its good network practice to have your cams segregated on their own vlan. Makes me wonder if IGMP Snooping may solve this or hinder this? Sometimes it puts a slight lag on the traffic sometimes it doesnt. May want to turn down RTSP to STP (if you think spanning tree is only for loops, then go back to school )... Something is making it lag. I have Cams and NVR reaching across a SD WAN or even a S2S VPN and it runs like a top. No lag. Again, segregated NVR and CAMs on their own vlan is better practice.
@joseph_1979 I do, but it says I dont have permission to send a DM. Weird.
Also why cant I DM users on this forum?
@joseph_1979 @Chopstix Any updates on this? you got it working?
@user_863771412115668_863771412115668 I have 2 36 channel NVRs in 1 site... both almost full. Almost 70 cams. To offload this to a HPC cluster or GPU cluster would be too much $$ compared to 2 NVRs.
@joseph_1979 I can tinker and test all the time. Having been in the I.T. trenches for years and worked for a larged I.T. vendor that was high paced. Getting laid off 2 times during covid, I got in with a laid back company, time for me to cruise. Spend more time with the fam and enjoy a slower pace. I wish Reolink would send me more hardware (they did once) bruh! I'd test all day everyday!
