@joseph_1979 Thanks Joseph. I understand now. I bought an E1 and just finished installing it. It works fine on wifi so I will probably leave it at that unless I have problems.
@joseph_1979 Does this mean that with this splitter (12 volt one) I can use an ethernet cable in a spare port of my RLN8-410 or must it plug into the router. I have just bought an E1 Outdoor and got it working fine on wifi but I would prefer it to run from ethernet.
@joseph_1979 Yes, it seems to work now but if I tick Person as well as Visitor it stops the Push working. I don't need Person anyway so that's not a problem as long as it keeps working. But I can't trust it. I will do further testing and try to see why it is intermittant and post back here. I think booting the Home 5G modem may have fixed it. I had tried that before with a power reset to no avail but this time I re-booted it by accessing it from my PC.
The sound from the RCA plug is so low and I can't find anywhere if it should connect to an amp, a pre-amp or directly to an 8 ohm (eg) speaker. The level is just as bad if I use the HDMI connection to my TV which then has to be on 100 to hear anything. Is my NVR faulty? And, yes, I do have the sound ticked ON and the latest firmware.
@joseph_1979 The Push now seems to work when it feels like it. I rebooted my 5G Home WIFI modem and I think that is what got it going. I have changed no settings for the cameras or DVR. When I press the doorbell sometimes I get a notification straight away and sometimes later. (or even not at all) Most annoying. Also when I use the Test Notification feature on the app it never works. Has anyone been able to make that work. Note I have an Android phone.
@joseph_1979 I got this working and now it has stopped.On my android phone with the Reolink app when I press Push Note. it does not change. However if I had turned it off on the NVR and app will have turned it on. I only want it for the doorbell when someone presses it. It did work twice after I took your advise and now its stopped. I even put the app on another Android phone and it did the same. Any ideas?
@user_756125119496374_756125119496374 Another question not relating to Doorbell. When a motion is detected shouldn't it keep recording for x minutes after the motion stops. I have set, Settings. Surrveillance, Record,Settings, Extend Rec Time after motion event ends to 5 minutes. When I play back and set 'alarms only' the event playbacks are still only short. The NVR is recording 24/7 anyway so does it mean that the motion will only play while the event is happening despite the 5 minute setting as the rest is being recorded anyway.
@joseph_1979 Does Visitor mean when someone presses the bell, nothing to do with movement detection, because if so that is exactly what I want. Thanks for your help. Look out for my posts. I have a few more questions and you seem to know a bit about it.
Is there any way the doorbell can give a Push Notification when the [censored]on is pushed but not when movement is detected. I still want the movement detection on but not to give me a notification. The doorbell is POE connected to my RLN8-410 both with the latest firmware.
@joseph_1979 Yes, I have the latest firmware which I downloaded to try to fix this problem. It is v3.3.0.282_23103128. I was hoping someone had successfully used the sound output using the RCA plug or the HDMI and found the volume ok, in which case my NVR could be faulty. I know it is soft because if I plug the output of my PC into my sound system it is heaps loud. I then leave the sound system on the same setting and plug in the DVR and it is way soft. (only one at a time of course) Maybe someone else could try that same test. Also though, if I access the DVR with the client on my PC the volume is fine. As a technician myself it just seems there could be something wrong in the sound output part of the DVR.
