Hi all
I made my own corner mounting bracket for RLC-823A with integrated threads…
One 823A can be mounted in the middle and on each side its possible to mount 810 or 811 as well…

Dear Reolink-Team

As I use a lot of reolink cameras for agricultural projects on farms etc. (indoor and outdoor) my wish is to be able to set up
different user accounts with different operation rights...

For example:

• Admin: able to set up camera settings and users, etc. (full access)
• Operator: able to view live and recorded video AND able to use preset positions and PTZ control functions (all that normal users need to be able to do)
• Viewer: able to view live video (optional and configured by the Admin: access to PTZ control functions)

The actual main differencies regarding the users are more or less based on user configuration rights etc. but not really on operational features
but behind each Reolink camera seen via mobile phone or tablet is a user who wants to check something and so these user accounts should more
be based on "user" differencies...

This is one of my main wishes which are out of practical use of lots of Reolink cameras.

Thank you and best regards

Dino

@mike_201907_662346852388871 There are 2 port PoE extenders available which are powered by PoE+ or PoE++ (PD / powered device) and can power two cameras with PoE+ each for example... Also available as an ruggedized outdorr version...

As I prepare lots of Reolink cameras within my own/local network before installing them at customer sites I often have the following situation:

The Reolink-Client tells me that the camera I want to add already exists in my camera list - but this is not true!
It seems the Client blocks or saves somehow the "old" IP address which a camera was associated to (in my local network during preparation)
and then if this camera has moved to customer site but still is in my Client for support reasons and I add another (new) camera to my network
for preparation/configuration it will cause that problem when the new camera gets the same IP from my local DHCP server as it was used of any
of the cameras which were connected in earlier times to my local network...

Why does the Client save and compare an old IP address when adding a new camera?
There is no reason the client has to save any old IP address which a camera was associated to.

This must be corrected because it makes no sense to me and causes lots of problems when handling with big amounts of cameras for different projects!

Hi,

I have several cameras that look at a scene from different angles. Now I noticed that when an alarm was triggered by one camera, whether person or vehicle, it not necessarily triggered the alarm also on the other camera, maybe because of sensitivity settings, distance, object size, whatever...

Personally I would find it very useful if you could link some cameras together, so if one registers an alarm it can tell the other camera to record also. Two viewing angles = better identification of intruder or whatever.
That should not be a big issue in the same network, as the app for example can register cameras in the same network, so cameras could surely do the same. Or give the opportunity to put in specific IP adresses of linked cameras.

Or maybe some kind of "broadcast" the camera sends to the local network and other devices can react. This maybe would also be helpful for an app notification on e.g. mobile phones if you use your cameras only within a local network or with VPN.

So that's my wishlist

This would be great!
addition: If each of the PTZ cameras know the direction (compass based) of the motion (tracking direction) then this maybe could be broadcasted to other ptz cameras so all point to the "intruder" for example...
(but I understand, this will give a big thing on configuring cameras and will be only possible by professionals / technicians...)

@antonio089_626720538640449 as nobody really answered your question I will try...
Your question was: "Can I buy 1 or 2 more wifi cameras, to connect to the same wifi network of the first main camera, where is located the sim?"
Basically a 4G camera with SIM card does not provide you any wifi network for other cameras so the answer is: No.
4G cameras with SIM cards are only standalone cameras (unfortunately - and this is a disadvantage when needing more than 1 camera).
If you need more than one camera and only have 4G connection it will be necessary to have a SIM card for each camera as one kind of a solution
or as the more professional way: use a 4G router and build your PoE network which is supplied by a good solar power system which you also
could use for other things in that house if necessary...

@joseph_1979 true - but would be good to have the most recent firmware versions available on the website, I don't understand why this is not the case, because it is a lot more work to do when the support team has to reply on e-mails asking for firmware-files...

@joseph_1979 fully agree - for that case a more expensive camera is necessary with filters that can be added to the lens etc. That's not a job for Reolink cameras...

Hi all
I am looking for a way to change the camera view on my monitor (which will be connected to the NVR) when an input is triggered.
Is there a way to change to a single camera view or a defined multi-cam view when getting an input signal (alarm)?

Would this be possible with the RLN36?

Thanks for your help.

@user_757956322103537_757956322103537 Does the camera a normal start-up? (panning and tilting when connecting to power or PoE?) Can you ping the camera? Which firmware version do you use?

@joseph_1979 ...think this is not possible with 4G cameras for example...

@s-stoessler_71959255531 I fully agree. But: I prefer to do a different approach where I also can extend the system with more cameras and use the internet connection also for other devices like laptops, etc. for example...
Like: using of a standard solar power system with battery (if not anyway installed in a cabin far away from a village) and use PoE powered cameras where the AI detection of people and cars and movements in general always works very nice and reliable
and then use a robust outdoor 4G or 5G router resulting in having a small but perfect network at that cabin for multiple use and being able to add more cameras if necessary to see all around that cabin.
I would never offer a solution like this camera & solar panel set to any customer because it is a standalone solution with no possible extra use at all... Hope you understand my point of view
