Agree. Goofy.

The original Argus uses a 1/4 x 20 screw (standard camera fitting).

This may be a situation where Reolink support has to become involved. Even if a hardware rest is done on the camera, there is a good chance that the camera UID remains in the Reolink "cloud" tied to a specific User ID. That would mean creating a new user account and attempting to add the camera would fail.

Is it correct that you cannot use the app at all? i.e. cannot view the camera? Cannot view the camera settings?

Does "2SI" stand for "Two Factor Authentication"?

To access a Reolink camera, the user must input the camera password. My battery powered cameras* define only a single user account. Even if a person knows the UID (or gets it from the QR code), they have to have the password to log into the camera.

• RLC cameras (not battery powered) allow the owner to define multiple user accounts with different capabilities.

Would it not be better to have an option to allow the user to install any sound file to be what the chime plays? If the user wants to hear an English Butler speak, "There are people at the door." Or to hear a recording of crying babies. Mooing cows. Whatever.

My Argus camera has a setting for "Post Motion" record, that can be set to different values.
Is there a similar setting on the TrackMix LTE?

It is available on Amazon.

The Windows Client shows the E1 Outdoor camera having separate notifications for Vehicle, Person, and Animal. Surely the E1 Pro has similar settings?

Customers have been asking for a Linux version of the Reolink Client from Day One. Never going to happen.

The Argus 4 specifications are pretty clear that the power requirement is DC 5V/2Amp

This means it needs a USB power supply, 5V/2amp that ends in a USB-C connector.

@joseph_1979 I have an E1 Outdoor camera and the Spotlight has only two modes:

• Off
• Night Smart Mode

There is no Timer Mode. Firmware version v3.1.0.3429_2404181319

I believe for Reolink their "Cloud Service" refers to the ability to store video recordings "in the cloud", in addition to on an SD card in the physical camera. (If someone steals the camera, the SD card is no longer accessible.)

As far as I am aware, the only way to prevent Internet of Things devices from opening an internet connection is to block them at the customer router. Some home routers have an option to "Block Services", which prevents specific devices from using the internet.

Please give more detail about this. Reolink cameras allow the user to 'hide' the Date/Time from the display.

Almost every "Internet of Things" device that I am aware of opens a connection to the manufacturer cloud so that the smartphone app can communicate with the device. (smart plugs, cameras, garage door openers, light bulbs, etc. In order to access a Reolink camera from the internet using the Reolink app, the user has to have (a) the UID, and (b) the camera password.

Fascinating that the AT&T system identifies the specific device which opened a connection to a remote IP address. Was there a specific "alert" about this specific connection (as opposed to the thousands of other connections made all day long by other devices)?

The Windows Client found and installed it as expected. Thanks.

Definitely each camera is independent (all settings).

There appear to be different schedules for Record, Email, and Push notifications. But, within a schedule (Record, Email, Push) there is only one calendar. For example, it appears to me that a camera cannot be set to Record pets on one schedule and record vehicles on a different schedule.

Doing a reset on a Reolink camera should return it to the "factory condition", where you go through the usual setup process of "add a camera" and show the QR code to the camera.

Would be interesting to know which brands of battery powered cameras record "pre motion detection"

I have never thought it was a good idea to expose cameras to weather, and mount my cameras "under the eaves" where they will be protected. If you do depend on the weather rating of the camera and the lens gets water inside, contact Reolink for a warranty replacement (as long as the camera is still under warranty).

Please provide a more detailed description of the request.

Push notifications are defined on the camera using either the Reolink Client or the Reolink 'app'. There are no 'ports' involved.
