@kimchigun Still waiting on the T-Mobile hotspot--it is coming directly from their warehouse, not a store.Yeah, there is not a general DM function. I think only admins can initiate DMs.
@joseph_1979 I'll be back out there when the T-Mobile hotspot gets here. Before I swap it out, I'll connect to their WiFi with my phone and see if I can access my home cameras--good tip, thanks!
@kimchigun hmmm, that I have not but the DVR uses Google DNS. The IP is not public so it is NAT'd at the ISP.
@joseph_1979 Have not done a wireshark--it has been decades since I have used it. I just turned 54 yesterday and have zero desire for a Google refresher course hahahaha.UPnP is already on. The ISP is an AT&T reseller so it's AT&T on the back end. They block everything by default. It's a county government plan so no way to switch but I am going to bring in a T-Mobile hotspot for testing.
@kimchigun Can't get remote viewing to work from the Reolink client. I suspect the UDP blocking by the ISP is preventing the NVR from connecting to the Reolink servers.
As the title says, I am looking for suggestions, if even possible, to work around UDP blocking on a firewall. Internet is via a 4G hot spot and the USP blocks UDP--they have already denied the request to allow it. I want to avoid adding a VPN device in the mix. Any thoughts?
1) Is this 4K per lens or 4K total (2K per lens)?2) How is the VFOV compared to the Duo 2?2) Can this also be used with PoE?I currently have a Duo 2 and a Duo Floodlight, both PoE, and really would like better resolution for when I need to zoom in on a video cap. The Duo 3 simply does not have the VFOV that I need for coverage.
@czp_609875358003264 If all your cameras are Reolink, 1) Disable Hybridge on the NVRs. 2) Plug the NVR LAN ports (not the PoE ports) into your external switch 3) Plug the Reolink cameras into each respective NVR directly into the NVR's on-board PoE switch.If your cameras are NOT Reolink, 1) Enable Hybridge on the NVRs. 2) Plug the NVR LAN ports (not the PoE ports) into your switch 3) Plug the Reolink cameras into each respective NVR directly into the NVR's on-board PoE switch.
@kimchigun Depends if Hybridge is turned ON or OFF. Worse case if ON, he will get loopback issues as Hybridge disables the NVR's internal DHCP server. Although, even OFF there is still the potential for lookback problems.
We have gotten to the point where we have had to disable notification sounds on our mobile devices and in some cases, have had to simply disable the notifications altogether.
@czp_609875358003264 I personally have had zero good luck with the RLN16-410 via ONVIF.
@joseph_1979 likely not feasible at this price point.
@ecszone_625082211356785 if the downloads section does not have a firmware for your model, you will have to email support to see if they have a newer version. Make sure you include hardware version and current firmware.
@joseph_1979 no sir. 7x Bosch FLEXIDOME cameras only. All cameras are online and accessible via web browser. The NVR will only accept no more than 2x cameras using ONVIF. Does not matter which two. Is there a Reolink limitation?
I am setting up an RLN16-410, current firmware and it will not accept more than two ONVIF cameras. When I add a third camera, the first one is automatically removed.The NVR is in HyBridge mode and I have all the ONVIF camera plugged in to the onboard PoE switch. I do not have an external PoE switch I can test with.I have tried various ports on the NVR, no change. I have factory reset EVERYTHING, no change. It will simply not accept more than two ONVIF cameras.Help?
@garygenest_377033554071702 not that I am aware of. I suggest opening a support ticket.
@elijah-pokrop Where exactly are you seeing the lag?... playback? monitoring? Can you confirm if the recording themselves have frame loss?The RLN12W (on paper) should have enough bandwidth to record clean. Playback via the LAN port is another issue as @joseph_1979 mentioned it is only 100mb so if you are playing back multiple streams, it could be an issue.
@user_944897190998152_944897190998152 does your switch have PoE Watchdog which will reset the port if an error is detected? Not sure that it would even trigger, but it's one additional layer of error correction.Make sure you have the most recent firmware and then I would try a factory reset.EDIT: I just noticed you stated 3x cameras. All 3 having issues? If so, might be link related... stable enough for alerts but not enough for video transmission.
@user_606533192306788_606533192306788 which model camera?
@lafunamor ahhhh. Let's hope they add that soon. Thanks for the clarity.
