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.

Are these cameras connected directly to the RLN36 NVR? If so, they will be on a separate network and cannot be reached by any other device.

I am unable to replicate this on Windows 10 using Client v8.8.2 Perhaps it is caused by a conflict with Windows 11?
Is the Client displaying camera views from an NVR, or from network connected cameras (no NVR)?
(I have no NVR)

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.

The RLC-810A is available with a choice of lens: 2.8mm, 4.0mm, 6.0mm

@user_617650665832448_617650665832448 Yes. I believe notifications are separate from "connected".
(Although I must confess that long ago I quit having cameras send notifications. hundreds of messages every day is not something I enjoy.)

My experience is that the Reolink battery powered cameras show "Disconnected" in the app until the user presses on the disconnected message. Then the app connects to the camera.
Fully powered cameras, such as the RLC models and the powered Duo cameras will remain connected all the time.

Cameras receive their network information from the primary router. That includes the IP address of the gateway. Every brand of WiFi router is different. Perhaps your system puts 2.4G and 5G devices into different subnets?

All of the Reolink RLC camera support http/https. None of the battery powered cameras do.
All of the RLC cameras also support FTP, but not the battery powered cameras.

The key word to me was "garage". I have five Reolink cameras on the exterior of my house (one WiFi and four PoE). That bundle of wires is a chore. What I did was drill a 1" hole directly behind the camera mount. Push the biggest item through the hole first, then the other two wires. Nothing shows on the outside of the house at all. The hole is entirely covered by the camera mount. (Note that this obviously cannot work if the camera is not mounted on the wall or the roof eave. I prefer not to expose cameras to rain. (When customers complain that their "weatherproof" electronics were damaged by exposure to the elements, I think, "Told Ya So.")

Actually, I gave up on push notifications years ago. Sorry.
We have had power outages, and all of the Reolink cameras came up as soon as the power was restored.
