Joseph is absolutely correct (post above), and my response is totally incorrect. "My Bad" for not looking on Amazon before posting.

Absolutely. I have two "battery" cameras that are USB powered. The battery cannot possible run down, so this alert is not useful.

The Reolink E1 power supply is DC5.0v/1amp. (which sounds very much like a typical USB power supply).
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is more than 40v (search for wiki power over ethernet).
I would look for an Ethernet extension cable (or a different product).

Both junction boxes for sale in the Reolink store are $25.99US, not "less than 8 bucks". I agree 100% that the marketing materials touting "weatherproof" and showing cameras being pelted by rain should emphasize that "camera wiring must be protected from moisture."

OMG - Yes. Have been frustrated by this phenomenon for YEARS.

FTP is used to upload motion recordings to an FTP server specified by the user.
(In my case a FileZilla FTP server on my home Windows PC.) Many NAS boxes include FTP features.
The Reolink 'cloud' is entirely different. (not FTP)

It depends on the camera. RLC cameras have a provision to add multiple users with different levels of capability.
Battery powered cameras do not.

As for cameras connected to an NVR..... don't have one. sorry.

Well, do I feel dumb.

On Windows Client 8.8.2, that "Full Screen" icon appears in the lower right and clicking it expands the picture to fill the entire screen and briefly displays a message, "To Exit Full Screen, Press <esc>".
No keyboard means to way to exit full screen mode.

Yes, there should be a symbol somewhere on the screen, either along with the existing symbols or perhaps in the bar where the time and camera information shows.

A Windows computer with a mouse but no keyboard seems like an unusual situation.

Which specific RLC cameras exhibit this problem?

I installed one of the RLC 12MB cameras (which is fantastic!) and when I attempted to access the camera using a web browser, I could not select "Clear" resolution because Clear for this camera is encoded with H.265 and most browsers are not compatible with H.265.

Is there an option on the Reolink cloud to choose the resolution when playing videos?

I believe the Reolink app gets the time from the device. On Android devices (no idea about Apple, sorry), there is a Settings menu which allows the user to set the device to 'regular' or 'military' time.
Can you please look for something in the device settings that controls how time is displayed?

Perhaps I misunderstand. On my Reolink Windows Client 8.8.2, when I go into full screen mode, there is a symbol in the upper right corner of the screen with two rectangles. Clicking on that symbol exits full screen mode.

If the goal is to have an option when there is no keyboard and also no mouse, it the Client supposed to be a mind reader?

If this is an RLC camera and the colleague is on the same network, there is also a web interface that will accept the user name/password.
A benefit of using the Reolink Client app is that this other person does not need to be on the same network as the camera.

@nomahisssss_477125106348271 Oh, yes. Interested for sure. My "cheapo" Wyze cameras draw a rectangle around what has caused recordings. Would LOVE to see this on Reolink cameras.

My experience is that all RLC cameras have the same basic capabilities. What the RLC-410 will do, the RLC-510A should do as well.

I have (just now) set a camera up to record most of tomorrow morning to the PC.
If there is a file (or files?) there tomorrow, then my RLC cameras behave the same as your RLC-410.

p.s. It was not clear from the post if the need is to store "motion" recordings or "time" recordings.

Forgot

• Password to the app?
• Password to a camera?

RLC cameras support FTP**. I have six of cameras saving motion captures to a FileZilla FTP server. There are numerous FTP servers; I just happened to choose that one.
I seem to recall users posting success with Blue Iris for RLC cameras, but have never installed Blue Iris.

** It is a bit annoying that the battery powered cameras do not support FTP, especially because I have them connected to USB power supplies and they can NEVER run out of power.

I do not see that as an option. What I do is FTP motion recordings to an FTP server, which can be anywhere. In my case, it is running on my PC*. In a busy area, motion recordings from several cameras can consume a considerable amount of storage, so I have a Windows script that runs once a day to delete recordings saved more than 14 days ago.

• Most NAS systems include FTP as a feature.

Could you please identify the cameras involved?

I have found that battery operated cameras give the appearance of being "disconnected" when they go into some sort of power saving mode. Selected the camera "wakes them up" and the app or the Windows Client connects to them.

@stewartv_631759702376556 Where does this backup feature exist? (Windows Client? Android App?). Somehow I cannot seem to find it.
