Hi Community,

If a Reolink Argus PT Black 5GHz/2.4GHz WiFi camera unfortunately gets fully discharged. Is it then by design and an expected behavior that it looses it´s configuration and starts over with the welcome message " Welcome to Reolink. Please install the Reolink App and scan the QR-code on the camera "?

@reolink-fiona Thank you!

Hi,

Some of my (not all of them yet) Reolink Argus PT Black (5/2.4 GHz) (BIPC_523MIX32M35SD94MP) have been firmware auto upgraded from 3.0.0.875_22030800 to 3.0.0.1045_22061301

I can't find any change logs.

Can you please tell me the differences in the new firmware?

Hi Emsy,

Read what I have written in this post.
https://reolink.com/topic/e1-zoom-incompatible-64gb-microsd-or-fault/#post-1295967

I have had the same issue with Kingston Endurance 64GB (SDCE/64GB). Impossible to format in the Reolink camera. I have RLC-511W & Lumus cameras.

RLC-511W identifies that there are a memorycard inserted, Lumus dosent.

Windows it self can´t format 64GB memorycards as FAT32, with the Windows program Ridgecrop FAT32 GUI format (Can´t add full url here but similar to: ridgecrop_co_uk _index_htm?guiformat_htm ) I could format the Kingston Endurance to FAT32 and then it is possible to use it in the camera, but still impossible to format there.

So I ordered a SanDisk High Endurance 64GB (SDSQQNR-064G-GN6IA) and that one works like it should. Formattable in the cameras.

”Just for fun” I also ordered a SanDisk 128GB (SDSQQNR-128G-GN6IA) and that one also works with formatting in the camera, and also saves the video to it.

Probably the SanDisk High Endurande 256GB & 512GB also works, but I haven´t tested them.

So either there are som kind of differences between memorycard manufacturers. Or just some incompatibility/bug in the Reolink camera firmware that you (Reolink) should take a closer look at.

Today two new RLC-511WA arrived and I mounted SanDisk 128GB (SDSQQNR-128G-GN6IA) in them. The memory card was possible to format and worked directly with out any problem.
