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.

FTP 454 error is saying that the user name used to connect to the FTP server does not have permission to access the directory.

Most Reolink cameras can "change WiFi" after the user connects to the camera and enters the Settings menu.

I use VLC (free for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Apple, Android from Videolan(dot)org.

FTP is a feature built in to the RLC cameras. (not the battery powered cameras). I use it to store recordings from 8-10 cameras using FileZilla FTP server. Provides backup for the camera SD card and (I know this is goofy) allows me to use VLC to view motion recordings.
There are no fees to use Reolink products unless one subscribes to a "cloud storage" plan (I have not)
Looking forward to someone reporting actual temperature experience. My guess is the cameras might function at lower temperatures, but if they don't then Reolink's answer will be "told you so."

Memory is one possible explanation. Another might be that privacy zones are implemented differently for cameras which must be connected to a Reolink NVR to function.

This sounds like a perfect question to ask Reolink support (with an email). I have always received prompt and thorough explanations from them.

@user_858173756547208_858173756547208 How strange. I have set up a privacy mask with over 40 separate zones on an RLC-1212A.

Privacy masks do not have to be contiguous. Each segment appears to be limited to a small rectangle, but there can be dozens of them spread around the screen.
