Regardless, bullet camera or dome? Dome cameras have a seal that is easily damaged of not reassembled with care. Also, the cover retention cable can easily get caught in the seal during reassembly. I had one that kept fogging and upon examination saw that I pinched the cable in the seal. I cleared the pinch and have not had issues since. Do you know the IP rating of your cameras?

We use the iOS client from the App Store. My wife has it on her iPad Pro without issue. Yes, the app is default to portrait mode as is the iPad's default orientation. You must rotate to landscape for full screen. We have never had an issue with video quality (we set ours to HIGH) even over cellular.

Change is often times difficult with software especially if you have developed a routine. We came from Vivint so we find the Reolink app refreshing even with its quirks. I encourage you to give it a chance. Cheers.

@reolink-oskar a tazer. Only partially joking. I do not know how it is in other countries, but in the US, theft of delivery packages from one's porch is a common problem.

Looks to be an unsupported configuration at the moment...

I can tell you that the wired WiFi doorbell does with with both (that's what I have). I can only assume that's it's a battery capacity issue... the more lines of code in the firmware means more power for processing. Having to send two alert signals to two different devices also means more power.

@boomish_893913578897601 I too noticed that ALL my iOS clients stopped getting notifications sometime in the past week. The solution was to delete the clients and reinstall. In my case, I have all my cameras connected to a Home Hub Pro so the app reinstall was easy... just connect to the HHP and back in business. If you don't have a HH/NVR, you'll have to add each camera back to the app. As for cellular, when the notifications stopped it stopped on both Wi-Fi and cellular but after the reinstall, it started working on both again. If you can access the camera via the app while on cellular then there should not be anything preventing notifications over cellular. At least not that I am aware of.

Yes, understand now what you mean by it not being a native iPad app... apps camera preview screen does indeed stay on portrait. We have multiple cameras and my wife uses the grid view feature which always follows the orientation of the her tablet so it has never been an issue for her. If you only have the doorbell, make sure in the app settings to check the box "Auto Live View". It will launch the last used camera (in your case, the doorbell) automatically in whatever orientation your tablet is in. Hang in there!

Is the Amcrest connected via an external PoE switch? You can not use 3rd party cameras on the built-in switch unless the RLN36 supports the feature of disabling the internal private network 172.16.25.x and bridging the internal switch to the external LAN.

Is the bar wider than the distance between two of the 3 camera mounting holes? if not, orient the camera mount so that one hole is either at 12 or 6 o'clock. Use a screw to fasten the mount directly to the bar through that hole.

The other two holes will now be on each side of the bar. Use a flexible pipe strap (or flat stock) across the back of the pipe to secure the other two holes.

@joseph_1979 hahaha. They put me in the cool kids club.

@icancyou_596163611529276 I do not have that camera model however I do have seven of their cameras which some have audio recording enabled and others do not. Never had an issue with the settings reverting themselves back to on. You might try to submit a trouble ticket via the website.

@alan_909533752111327 I have found the same occurrence with the Windows client. To resolve it I had to do the following:

1) Open up a max grid view to find cameras that are not on sequential channels. Often times when I add a camera, I find that the NVR will drop it in some random channel way down the list. I have had to drag/drop my cameras to be sequential.

2) Change the live view resolution. I have found that often times when adding a camera, the Windows client will choose a preview resolution that the camera does not support. This causes the preview to be missing.

I am not aware of a Reolink branded extender although I also call my kids by the wrong names sometimes. I am wondering if the firmware is simply future proofed for an extender that is in development.

@joseph_1979 I returned both a Duo 3 and Duo 3V for this exact reason. I ended up using Duo 2's for front and rear overwatch.

The tracking works well. I am surprised that the lights/sound of the camera did not startle it. It must be used to the area.
