I have mentioned this several times. It makes SO much sense.I also think there is no reason not to have SETTINGS for several parameters."Prerecord", for example, seems to be a fixed number of seconds or none at all.The user should be able to set up to some maximum value, say 0-20 seconds.Post record is the same.I finally solved the "flying insect problem" by purchasing separate Infrared LED lights and placing them 6-8 ft. away from the camera. Bugs are drawn to them and do not appear to be BIG BRIGHT OBJECTS to the camera.
I believe under Profile... Settings (gear symbol) there are options for what notifications to receive.
I believe that all important settings are kept on the cameras themselves. When the Client program starts on the new computer, it will scan the LAN looking for cameras and import the settings from them.
I agree with Fiona that FTP is based entirely on the server IP address. When the server is on the LAN, FTP will not attempt to access the internet.(caveat: I have no NVR. My individual cameras FTP motion recordings directly to the LAN FTP server.)On the cameras, there is an option in the FTP setup to "Test" the FTP settings. Took me several tries to get the FTP logon information/password/directory parameters correct.Should be relatively simple to do a "Test" with a live internet connection and also without a live internet connection.
Absolutely. I have two "battery" cameras that are USB powered. The battery cannot possible run down, so this alert is not useful.
I know of no method to set a constant FTP file name on the Reolink RLC cameras. (Battery powered cameras do not support FTP at all.)(Lack broad experience with web cams, but some brands such as Wyze and Arlo also lack FTP.)The effect you seek may be possible some other way, such as:

Click on the Plus sign ("+") and the Reolink Windows Client application will automatically search the local IP subnet for cameras and display any that it finds.To add cameras that the program does not find on the local network, enter the UID code for the camera in the box and the program will search the Reolink "Cloud" for the camera, similar to the way the Reolink Apple or Android app does.
My guess: People will be ice skating in.... (that place) before Reolink releases a camera with PowerLine built in. That's not their 'niche'.A subs[censored]ute would be either:
Would you mind sharing the reasoning for not using Google to watch for and notify of new Reolink app versions?
@reolink-fiona And, there is now a Beta version of Windows Client 8.4. My guess is that Reolink engineers will be more likely to respond to problem reports about the latest software version.
The Reolink app (Apple and Android) allows both Live View and Playback from the internet.
@crimp-on_62210811129 I just now looked at the Time Lapse recording, and it indeed shows the time that was part of the screen. Alas, not much 'happened' during this period, so it was pretty much a 'meh' experience. I would want to experiment with settings before employing a camera for a lengthy Time Lapse. i.e. do some short ones first and see if you like them.
@user_811175528280316_811175528280316 I have one running now as a test. Was able to live stream to two separate devices (Windows Client and Reolink Android app). Will know about the water mark and time stamp in an hour.Any of the modern RLC cameras (not battery powered) would be fine as long as the SD Card is large enough to hold the expected motion recordings and the time lapse. My guess is that if the goal is to create a very long time lapse recording, the camera would not be used for anything else (to prevent running out of space).
@ninoc_787414937526480 This might be something to email Reolink support about. The specifications are very clear that the E1 Pro supports RTSP protocol.What test reported that the RTSP port is not open?
@joseph_1979 A useful suggestion, except for the effort to access the cameras, remove the SD cards, do the test, and replace the SD cards. Before attempting that, I attempted to format the SD card on my cameras, with these results:
One possibility is that I have 4 bad 32GB SD cards. (sigh) Any recommendation on which SD card "works" in Reolink cameras?(If I'm going to the trouble to pull the SD cards in four cameras, might as well replace them and be done with it.)
@joseph_1979 Thanks. I had not realized that the camera automatically rebooted when the SD card was formatted.Still puzzled that after formatting the SD card, the camera reports it as nearly "full".(29.61GB of 30GB used)
When the Windows Client v8.15.6 Storage Menu is used to Format the SD Card of an RLC camera:
Thanks
Agree. A wired connection is better in a number of ways, provided that it is convenient to install the Ethernet cable. "outside home about 40ft away" raises some flags.
Wireshark captures that the Reolink camera sends out NTP requests and no NTP responses come back.There must be something different about the way the Reolink camera is being networked that is stopping the NTP responses from getting through to the camera.Is this camera on the same switch as the other cameras and the port based VLAN is defined the same way?
I agree that this is a very strange situation.
