The RLC cameras feature a web interface that can be reached using the IP address, such as

http://<ip of camera> 

The batter cameras do not include a web server and can be reached only with the Reolink Client (Windows, Mac) or the Reolink 'app'

@barentsea-skipper_732925001851048 Reolink claims that battery powered cameras will automatically update firmware using the Reolink 'app'. (They also claim that the 'app' has a function to manually update firmware, which will happen 'automatically' when the manual update choice is selected.

The E1 camera firmware can be found at: https(colon slash slash) reolink.com/download-center (we are not allowed to post URLs

So true. Have commented on this for YEARS.

@bearhug I do not find a product in the "store" with the number D1200.

1. In general, a 2.8mm lens is more wide angle than a 4mm lens.
2. Who knows? the five cables included in the 1200B4 kit are 18m long. If you need a six meter cable for a particular camera, that is too short. If you need only a three meter cable, then there are two meters of cable to coil up.
3. no idea
4. Yes, turret cameras can be mounted on a vertical or horizontal surface and rotated to point where you want them to point.

@karklean_321030663176349 On my Android Reolink app, the main screen "hamburger menu" (in the upper left) has an entry for "Settings" The top entry in Settings is Notification Sound. I (personally) have mine set to Silent because the notifications are annoying. I notice the default (on my app) is "application provided sound" and the top entry under sounds is ""Default notification sound."

What does your app Settings show?

@reolink-lorenz When I clicked "Update", a message came up saying that system files were missing, and offered to download an update from 2010! I clicked "ok", but then a box popped up asking where I wanted to install the files.

Not Good.

It would help if you specify exactly which Windows (Mac?) client is installed.

No NVR. Camera is accessed only with the Windows Client and Android app.

This firmware fails to load on my RLC-1212A. I notice a difference in the description:
My camera:
Model RLC-1212A Hardware: IPC_523B1812MP
Updated firmware:
Model RLC-1212A Firmware IPC_523B18128M12MP

I received the 1212A camera over a year ago as a "Test". Did that camera "quietly disappear" when the actual production model came out?

Put in an SD Card.

@christian So cool. Could you post a screen shot of this option?

I believe the answer is, "The customer cannot replace the SSL Certificate. Live with it."

Modern web browsers have created a "Catch 22" situation with regard to web site security.

• They demand that the SSL Certificate presented by the web site is registered with one of the certificate authorities.
• Specifically, they automatically reject any "self-signed" SSL certificate as being inherently not trustworthy.
• But, it is logically inconsistent for a manufacturer to include a valid SSL certificate in customer products, so they create a self-signed certificate instead. Reolink has a trusted SSL certificate for the Reolink web site. All those cameras are not Reolink. They are thousands of individual customers.

The customer is caught (Catch 22)

• Accessing the product (in this case a camera) using the unencrypted web interface (port 80) results in, "not secure" (i.e. http instead of https)
• Accessing the product using the encrypted web interface (port 443) results in "not trusted". Buried in the denial is a method to "go there anyway." Usually in tiny type.

After the first time, web browsers remember, "go there anyway".

This situation is really annoying.

@armagh_709620400558321 I do.

@user_671416932614237_671416932614237 Just peachy. An even newer firmware was released just yesterday (June 4, 2023) My camera is set to Autoupdate, and a search for firmware updates says my version is the most recent.

Well, this is a puzzle. I can download and update the firmware, but will then have no method to "go back" if I don't like it. Hmmmm.

@crimp-on_62210811129 I took a screen shot of the "Stream" settings, which appeared correctly in the editor, and then when I "Submit" is says "Undefined".

Reolink's forum software is not in my "Top Ten" right now.

@user_701308247294204_701308247294204 Some RLC cameras have a setting at the bottom of the Stream section:
