On a battery camera like argus 3 pro, people, pet and car have their own detection zone. It is not quite what you are asking but close. Not sure why PoE cameras haven't gotten the feature yet. We just have to keep asking I guess.

From what I heard, Eufy's face recognition isn't reliable yet. Frankly, Reolink can spend more time on software. Currently, Reolink can't even provide a coherent software features set. For example, a battery camera like argus 3 pro provides multiple detection zones while this feature hasn't made it to the PoE cameras.

You download client app from Reolink so you should keep the old copy like I do. Lucky me, I run Mac Client and haven't had all the issues that Windows users are having. As for iOS, you have to go thru App Store, so Reolink can't help you getting the old version.

Correct. I have suggested the customized option where user specifies the number of rows and columns to accommodate the panoramic cameras like Duo and Fisheye. The current fixed display options were probably designed before the panoramic cameras.

I found it F1.0 2K 4MP True Color Night Vision PoE camera. When can I get it?

WiFi version is available for preorder on their website.

iOS app update needs to go thru Apple's App Store. That is not case for the Mac Client.

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318

Auto update works on Mac Client for me. I was surprised.

Dual lens 2K battery camera.

@villasecurity

The light should stay on as long as the camera continues to detect motions. I believe this is also the case for siren but I am not 100% sure. You can easily test it yourself.

Latest iOS app 4.36.2.3 fixed this zoom issue.

I'm not a fan of the stretch mode - distorted image. Besides, I always view my cameras in landscape mode on my iPhone.

The latest iOS app which was released a few days ago fixed the pinch zoom issue.

"In addition, I was testing this with a 12MB camera and found that when a face is too far away from the camera, even a 12MB camera will not result in a clear image of someone's face."

You have to consider the focal length and field of view when comparing the camera resolution. The current 12mp camera has much wider field of view compared to 8mp camera and the objects will appear smaller. So when you blow up the 12mp image, your pixel density could be lower than 8mp camera. TrackMix camera, for example, shows that the 1080P telephoto lens provides a better image at far distance than the blow up image from the wide angle lens with 8mp resolution due to focal length (8mm vs 2.8mm). This is the reason why I have yet to upgrade my 8mp camera to the 12mp camera.

Pausing is not possible while zooming with client, only with mobile app currently. So you will need to take a snapshot with client during playback without stopping which is annoying. Reolink is aware of the issue and hopefully they will address the issue soon.

@reolink-fiona

My question regarding the new zoom function is that how does one adjust the zoom level? It is great that you simply tap where you want to zoom. I get that. But I don't see the zoom level control in your video to adjust the zoom level.

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318

iOS app can do that too. It appears that function isn't available on desktop clients (Windows and Mac) currently.

@reneeh63_670704778559524

I just drill holes to the pvc junction box.

@thresher81_667599009603590

Clear is only available on single window view. Use two fingers to tap the trackpad and you will see the clear option in addition to balanced and fluent.

@markarron9_504005354344625

Color is fine if you have two cameras. If you have 4 or more cameras it becomes confusing. Notification displays the camera name so it is never an issue for me.
