I have mentioned this several times. It makes SO much sense.I also think there is no reason not to have SETTINGS for several parameters."Prerecord", for example, seems to be a fixed number of seconds or none at all.The user should be able to set up to some maximum value, say 0-20 seconds.Post record is the same.I finally solved the "flying insect problem" by purchasing separate Infrared LED lights and placing them 6-8 ft. away from the camera. Bugs are drawn to them and do not appear to be BIG BRIGHT OBJECTS to the camera.
I believe under Profile... Settings (gear symbol) there are options for what notifications to receive.
I believe that all important settings are kept on the cameras themselves. When the Client program starts on the new computer, it will scan the LAN looking for cameras and import the settings from them.
I agree with Fiona that FTP is based entirely on the server IP address. When the server is on the LAN, FTP will not attempt to access the internet.(caveat: I have no NVR. My individual cameras FTP motion recordings directly to the LAN FTP server.)On the cameras, there is an option in the FTP setup to "Test" the FTP settings. Took me several tries to get the FTP logon information/password/directory parameters correct.Should be relatively simple to do a "Test" with a live internet connection and also without a live internet connection.
Absolutely. I have two "battery" cameras that are USB powered. The battery cannot possible run down, so this alert is not useful.
I know of no method to set a constant FTP file name on the Reolink RLC cameras. (Battery powered cameras do not support FTP at all.)(Lack broad experience with web cams, but some brands such as Wyze and Arlo also lack FTP.)The effect you seek may be possible some other way, such as:

I agree. Would even go so far as to ask to be able to specify the notification sound for each camera and the volume level.
Click on the Plus sign ("+") and the Reolink Windows Client application will automatically search the local IP subnet for cameras and display any that it finds.To add cameras that the program does not find on the local network, enter the UID code for the camera in the box and the program will search the Reolink "Cloud" for the camera, similar to the way the Reolink Apple or Android app does.
My guess: People will be ice skating in.... (that place) before Reolink releases a camera with PowerLine built in. That's not their 'niche'.A substitute would be either:
Would you mind sharing the reasoning for not using Google to watch for and notify of new Reolink app versions?
@joseph_1979 Windows Client 8.15.7 does not detect a new version.
When the Reolink app is remote from the local LAN, the camera can be found only through the Reolink cloud by the camera UID. Could you check that the app has all cameras defined by UID (and not by IP address)?
The FileZilla FTP port is definitely 21. (That's what I use, and it works.)Might be useful to look at the FileZilla Server documentation (right side of page)wiki.filezilla-project(dot)org(slash)DocumentationAny time a server on a home network is accessed from another location, it is critical that:
There is also a FileZilla user forum where people can ask questions.
It would improve the community forum a lot if Reolink would eliminate the dozens of bogus marketing posts that appear every day. Hire some teenager to watch the community and delete these posts as soon as they appear. (and kill the accounts that post them). Instead of every user individually skipping over posts, just make them disappear!I am getting very close to the point of saying, "the heck with this" and never visiting this forum again. If enough frequent contributors give up, there will be no one left to help anyone.
@user_836203193905368_836203193905368 Yes. Reolink customers DO read posts on the user forum. All of my Reolink cameras are "stand-alone" (no NVR). Balancing the Cost vs. Performance, I am satisfied.I would suggest starting with a single camera before investing in a complete "package" (more expensive).
@joseph_1979 This works for me on RLC-510ws and RLC-1212A.
@joseph_1979 Thanks for the detailed response. "Down the rabbit hole we go" to figure out how to use this ancient technology. (such as, is the Reolink camera an X11 'client' or an X11 'host'?)On my network scans, Reolink battery cameras have only port 9000 open.
This is a great question. Port 6001 does not appear in the "port list" of any of my Reolink cameras, yet it is open on all but the battery powered cameras.These ports appear to be open:80 is for http (unencrypted) access to the camera web interface443 is the https (encrypted) access to the camera web interface554 can be enabled for rtsp access to the Live feed.1935 for rtmp6001 for what?8000 for onvif9000 for "basic service"Some cameras have ports open by default, while other cameras require the user to specifically authorize them.
I notice a similar unwanted phenomenon. When I enable the feature to draw a rectangle around detected objects, the camera draws rectangles around cars that are not moving.The impression this leaves me with is that the software is able to detect the object (car, person, animal) but is not able to detect that the object is "moving". I do not have 'alerts' enabled, and cannot comment on whether the camera provides false motion detection.A $30 Wyze Cam 4 seems to have no problem recognizing and alerting on moving vehicles.
not possible. have to remove the SD card and put into a different device to erase or reformat it.
