I have owned my Swann NVR8-7400 home system for a good few years now and I am thinking of replacing it. It should be a relatively simple job, as I intend using the existing installed NVR cables (my intentions are to gradually replace these when I have the time). This is currently used to protect my home.

I currently have 8 dome 4mp cameras and have 6TB storage in the NVR.

There is nothing really wrong with it, it just chugs along, but as I now have an issue with one camera (weather related), getting the higher spec cameras for this NVR is almost impossible and when I do find one, people are selling them for silly prices. So maybe its time !!

I expect, I will get a decent price, selling my system to help pay for a newer system.

I haven't decided on which Reolink NVR system to get yet, but it will have to be a 8 camera system and Dome cameras and must have VGA and HDMI ports (because I use two screens in different parts of my house).

As long as the cameras are better than my current 4mp cameras, I'll be happy. They do not have to be the very top of the range Reolink cameras with all the bells and whistles (it's just not needed for what I need). Remote viewing/access is essential.

From my research, Reolink has come a long way since when I bought my current system (at that time, I decided to go with Swann). Online reviews and reliability is positive and the 2 year warranty looks good (a extra 6 months is currently on offer, if I read that correctly) but I'm not sure how good the customer support would be for UK customers.

I have been using CCTV systems (mainly NVR) for well over 20 years, so I really do not need convincing to go with Reolink, but with all my research so far for domestic use, Reolink just keeps popping up.

Ideally a Reolink Package would be good (NVR + 8 Dome cameras), however, I may just get 4 cameras to begin with and add more through time.

It's probably worth mentioning that I no longer use PCs or Window laptops, I'm strictly Android Phone and Android tablet (currently a Goggle Pixel 8 phone and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+) with access to Apple iPads(but only as a last resort).

Any suggestion for a home use system would be very helpful.

Thanks

Reolink Support have said that they will inform me when there is a update, so going by that reply, I expect they know there is a problem with their app on android.

I have logged this with Reolink Support.

I think I have determined that it may be a Android App issue (or possibly a issue with my Pixel 5), as I did the exact same scenario with my wife's iPhone and changing from LAN to IP connection was simple.

Thanks Cynthia, I have tried all of that and when opening the reloaded app, it still brings up all of my NVR and cameras, so no matter what I try, it just stays there ! Really weird, I have never came across this before !!

I have also made sure I was logged out of the app before trying this and it logged me back in when I opened the app. I can't seem to find a option in the settings to stop auto log in.

I have even taken my phone off wifi and put it on 4g/5g, but that also did not help.

I'm on android, I'm going to try it on my wife's IPhone, to see if I get the same issue, before contacting Reolink Support.

All I want to simply do is to log out and delete the app and start again !!

Thanks

I would like to delete my NVR from the android app and start again, but when I click the Delete NVR button, it say " Are You sure", so I click it again and all I get is a spinning wheel !

When I first set all this up, I used the QR code option, but I want to start all again using the ip method, as I have set up port forwarding on my router.
