@reolink-lorenz I wonder if auto-zoom can also be added. Its nice tracking can detect a person but zooming would might make it possible to see their face.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, the new firmware seems to be working as advertised.

I would still like to have auto tracking while patrolling.

I would like to have 4 preset patrol points but have it auto track and stay with any moving targets (person or car) in those zones.

@big_ted It just means the change in quality isn't detectable to the human eye. The same thing happens with audio, after while the change in quality isn't undetectable to our ears. In this case I would keep the bitrate up since it might make a difference when you zoom in on something you want to see like a face or a license plate etc...

@robert-leyzerovich_519547077562499 Thanks but that would leave the camera in position for 5 minutes even when a car speeds through the zone.

Here's what I'm looking for, lets say a person walking their dog comes across our grass. The camera will track them up to the guard point setting them return to the set point. I would like it to keep tracking them as long as it can so we can see whose dogs are taking dumps on our grass. That way we can get the owners to pick it up.

Suppose a robber walks through the guard point on their way to a window. The camera will track them up to the guard point setting them return to the set point. I would like it to stay on the person and film them intruding our premise so we have evidence to give police.

Otherwise it's working just fine returning to the set point for things that move quickly through the zone.

Hello,

Has anyone tried a wireless mouse with the RLN8-410 (N3MB01)? Is there one that works extremely well and has a long range?

We have the NVR downstairs in the boiler room since that's where the wires left the building. But the monitor is up one floor in the office. I'm trying to figure out a way to control the NVR from the office without the expense of moving it upstairs.

Also, there's only one USB port? How do you upgrade the firmware when the mouse is in that port?

@bearhug To answer your question about how the light will impact it, the light will make the picture change to color at night if it's bright enough which I believe it is. Not really a worry, it's actually a better view at night.

I found turning on the IR at night causes a messy and distorted picture. You may find the picture looks a lot better with the IR off.

@violino1980_552450169454759 I agree. The language on their website is very unclear. Perhaps if they just said something like "These cameras are only compatible with the newer RLN8-410 model and not the previous RLN8-410-E.

Even more clear than that, with all the letters and numbers that exist, why call them both RLN8-410? Couldn't they have chosen a different model number to indicate this is a different device?

@big_ted Post a short clip so we can tell you if yours is like ours. I can definitely read a license plate that close.

@rob-vallone I don't know, I will give it a try but I thought with them being waterproof this shouldn't happen. We have two others of the same camera's that isn't doing it. My real question was how to open the lens since I can't catch up with the guy who installed them. I want to make sure I have the right tool before I go up the ladder since I'm deathly afraid of heights.

I do see a true weak point in patrol mode is the absence of autotraking with such mode. Is this already raised to developers and maybe included in an upcoming firmware?
Thanks for you reply

But to not have it autotrack during a patrol is to have it see something while paroling but ignore what it sees, just keep patrolling???

To also not have it stay with what it sees during autotracking it to have it see something, then go back to it's guard point instead of staying with what it's seeing.

One of our camera's, RLC-842A got all fogged up inside during yesterdays rain storm. I thought an outdoor camera would be water proof. What does it take to get the lens off so we can wipe the inside out? What do we need to do to make this camera less prone to fogging? Our other three camera's including one mounted next to it are looking fine.

So far so good, I approve...

PS... One question, I guess we don't get time laspe if we have a NVR? Is that why I never see the feature?

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318 Only thing I would suggest is in settings turn off Hardware decoding. This made it work much better.

Where is the setting for hardware decoding?
