Hi there. I've started using the Duo 3 to record my sons football games. Not the intended use of a security camera I know, but much cheaper than the alternatives and the quality is decent. Does anyone know how to remove the fisheye effect from a video clip (see screenshot below)? I tried a few video editing software apps, but none have a specific fisheye removal setting for duo cameras, also even after experimenting with the settings in the video editor, I could only partially remove the fish eye effect. I previously used a GoPro and it had a linear FOV setting that got rid of the fisheye before recording the image (but the Gopro wide angle was not enough to see the whole pitch). Does the duo 3 have any settings to reduce the fisheye effect? Thanks, Ben
Hi, I sometimes use my Reolink Duo 3 to record football games. After an upgrade to the lastest firmware, the vertical Field of View appears reduced. In the 2 below photos the camera was placed more-or-less at the same location, the first photo is a screenshot from a game before the upgrade, the second photo a game after the upgrade. In the second photo, the vertical FOV seems reduced and I now struggle to fit the pitch (width not length) into the FOV. I know the camera angle is slightly different between the photos, but I tried several different positions and angles during the game, all would not give me the FOV as shown in the first photo. The resolution setting is 7680*2160 ie same in both photos. Has anyone else experienced this? Or has the firmware changed a setting somewhere? Or am I imagining that the FOV is reduced? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
@user_771496078160041_771496078160041 I use a standard 8,000mAH powerbank (max 2.0A) to power the camera also to power a mini wifi device. The camera is 12v, so use a simple step up (ie 6v to 12v) adapter (from ebay). The mini wifi is 6v, it plugs straight into the camera's ethernet plug. I let the wifi device access my phone network (ie mobile hotspot) so I can then access the camera to see the view, start/stop recording etc. The mini wifi is set to Client mode. All of this equipment is small and lightweight, so its hung inside a waterproof bag just below the camera.
Thank Joseph for the reply. Perhaps Reolink is missing a trick here, guessing its just a software thing but understand there would be a loss of angle (which is fine for me, Id just put the camera further back). Dont suppose you know how to stop the camera adding white borders around people? See below photo. Also, how to prevent the grass (artificial) from blurring into a load of green pixels? The definition has gone. I've turned the antiflickr off and set the duo 3 to highest resolution and bitrate settings. Other settings (like colour, brightness, etc) are on auto.
