Yes. When is it, or is it ever going to be available in Australia? My PoE cable from the Reolink NVR has been hanging out the brick wall next to my front door for many months now in anticipation.

It would be better if Reolink came clean and told us the reason for the availability problem. I doubt it has anything to do with the sales team and more likely manufacturing/supply issues in China. Or possibly Reolink has limited the supply of this first generation doorbell due to a pending announcement of a 2nd generation that will address many of the limiting design aspects of this first gen one (eg limited field of view - maybe needs dual camera's)..

Similarly don't expect an immediate push notification......it may take a few seconds (say 2 to 5s for powered cams and may increase to 8 sec for battery operated cams). In a nutshell the camera forwards the message to the Reolink message server which in turn sends a trigger push (using the token) to Google FCM (assuming Android smartphone and the smartphone has registered to FCM and received a token (you can see this in the system log) which is passed to Reolink application server). FCM pushes the notification message to your mobile operator (assuming your smartphone is on 4G) and the operator packet core pages your mobile. Your smartphone acknowledges this and the packet core forwards the push message notification to your mobile. I kept it very simple and at very high level.

Can this "around the world" delay be bypassed if using the mobile connected on the home Wifi and with the doorbell on the same local network?

It is the RLC-511W, not the RLC-511WA.

I guess mine is the previous model, but couldn't the feature be made available in updated firmware for those models as well?

I can't find how to use timelapse for this camera RLC-511W with H/W "IPC_51516M5M". I have updated the camera firmware to "v3.0.0.142_20121804"

I understand the timelapse is not available through the Reolink NVR, but I have this camera set up as both via the NVR and directly via WiFi address (with SD card) as it is a WiFi camera.

I have also updated the Windows client to V8.8.0

I cannot see any timelapse icon in the windows client when viewing this camera directly via it's WiFi address or any option regarding timelapse in the settings.

I have an RLN8-410 with Hardware number N2MB02. Is this compatible with the Doorbell?

Hi Fiona,

When will it be available in Australia?

PoE cabled back to the NVR and sticking out the wall of front door, all ready to go.

All I get is a "Notify Me" button on Reolink Web site (been like this for months) and not even an option to pre-order.

Hopefully the issues pointed out by others about notification/comms to smart phone could be sorted out later with firmware upgrades?

I am waiting for the PoE version of the doorbell. I just installed the CAT6 cable back to the existing ReoLink NVR today and now just waiting for the doorbell to install over the CAT6 cable end. Hope it is available in Australia soon.

I have a question about the Chime, which I understand plugs directly into a power point.

How does the doorbell communicate to the Chime to instruct it to start chiming?
