First of all, while I don't like it, I understand the need for no web server in the battery powered models and no direct access to the sdcard data or video stream.

What is so disappointing is FORCING the customer to be completely tied to you app and/or cloud service for getting motion recordings and images. You could at the very least allow for FTP transfer to a customer's own equipment in the same way you allow for emails to be sent. Whether the video is uploaded to your AWS bucket or a customer's own site should be no difference in power requirements.

Due to this direction of ReoLink, I will no longer buy anymore of your products and the Argus PT with solar panel and two additional wired cameras I just purchased will be returned.

I will also be looking for replacements of my other ReoLink cameras as the time comes to swap those out for newer technology.

I used to recommend your product all the time but will not any longer.

You obviously didn't comprehend what I wrote. I clearly stated that I completely understand not having direct access for everything you just described about ONVIF, RTSP, etc.. Please read again what I wrote.

What is wrong, is the fact the ONLY options you have to retrieve the videos are ALL manual and completely tied to their APP or cloud. With the exception of the option in the camera config to use email or push notification. Either way, it still makes it a pain in the rear to access or do anything with the video clips.

The one thing that they could have included in the firmware which would take up no more battery power than it does to push the video to their cloud, is to provide an option for the clips to upload off a sdcard to something such as an FTP server. Then a customer could easily script what they wanted to use the clips for their needs. As it stands with what they currently provide, EVERYTHING is a manual process and there is no way to automate retrieving the videos for any kind of use.

It is absolutely to wrong direction to take and I stand by my original post!!
