@dave_wat_ BroadBand router............connected to ISP.

@big_ted If you use their SIM then you need to roam over a local mobile operator with whom they have agreement. So customers have to buy a data package from Reolink. Reolink will have various operators offering SIM data services eg.. 1 in EU to cover EU countries which have roaming like at home.

@reolink-oskar so far it can identify an object, namely, person, animal, vehicle, etc. We now need to identify who is that object eg...face recognition, access social media to get info about the person,....if animal which animal, car which model, etc.....Enhanced AI.

@reolink-daisy With this newer firmware, the image in clear mode has low contrast/saturation, colours are muted, and the density is light. This may be due to lower fps (from 25 to 20) and lower bitrate (from 8k to 5k). I assume that the optimisation of ONVIF has lowered the definition. Would the dev team consider restoring these values?

Moreover before updating, I had full WIFI signal strength and now nothing as depicted below. I also noticed that to access the camera and get to the live view, it is taking around 1.5s more.

@reolink-oskar But why the changelog is missing from the download center?

@user_811568924922088_811568924922088 Apart from reset and start all over you have two more options.

1. Change the ssid and password of the new router to be the same as the old ones.
2. From your smartphone change the ssid and password of the hotspot to be like the old ones. Then from a pc access the doorbell camera and change the wifi network to the new one.

@crimp-on_62210811129 This should be included as part of the 'About' in the client. 10 minutes job.

Now they have reduced the number of client instances to 3. Previously it was 5. Processor usage ... average 2.5%.

@Daisy. Kindly include what has been added, removed and improved in the new Windows client. And it will be nice to have these in the 'About' menu.

@big_ted And why we still don't get the prompt from the application that there is a new fw available. It can also list the changes or include a URL so that customers know what has been added/changed/improved or deleted.

@big_ted Well....it states worried about missing package. Then what about if for one reason or another the camera is unavailable. Do we get a notification? No...... and this is more important than the package.

@jing_734911040270566 I suggest you to take it up with support. For sure there was a change in player and they are using 3 instances. I am running v8.16.10 without any issues on both Win 10 and 11.

@reolink-oskar Yeah, a poe Argus 4 Pro.

A remark on the mounting. The mounting is similar to RLC-511WA, RLC-811WA, etc and it can easily be pushed downwards. Not tight at all. It has to be locked.

@reolink-oskar This all boils down to costs. One of the key advantages of full colour night vision technology is that it offers clear and vivid colour images, even in near complete darkness say as low as 0.0005 lux. This is made possible by having a massive 1/1.2'' CMOS image sensor to capture more light, as well as a warm light that reaches up to 200ft. The technology has come a long way in recent years and continues to improve, making it a popular choice for cameras. There are also a couple different technologies to achieve full color. Some of the more affordable full color cameras use a built in warm light that can go as far as 100ft. More advanced cameras utilize two lenses. One lens captures visible light and the other captures infrared, both are then combined with clever programming to achieve a multi-spectral image. This means that with the same 100ft warm light, you can see even further in the dark.

Another technology is thermal imaging technology which captures the temperature difference between objects. They use microbolometers to detect different amounts of infrared light which are then converted to images of heat signatures. Since these cameras can identify heat patterns, they can see even in zero light and when there’s smoke present. So thermal night vision cameras are very useful for security where visual clarity is important regardless of the lighting condition.

@big_ted but this is a collection of video and audio codecs used by Windows and its software. If I am Reolink developer I will include the codecs used as is done by most media player like VLC.

Anyhow I don't have this pack and I have no issue. Once I found out that their player was calling DirectX ddls which where not in my system and had to install DirectX redist.....and it worked.

I have no time to debug....busy

@reolink-oskar Done. If they implement what I have requested you will be the Number One.

@luuke_869320929738914 Detection algorithm was not able to determine the exact object type. Can you send the video to support on support @ reolink . Com so that they will improve the algorithm?

@user_834458668150999_834458668150999 I have 2 Argus 2 fir 5 years now and had never any issue. I can connect using the latest Android and Windows clients. I can watch live views and can play any recorded clip.

Check that you have good WIFI signal at the location of the camera and have an upload speed of 10Mbps at the router side.

You may place cam near wifi router and check.

@reolink-oskar In my opinion it should have been a WIFI 6 rather than WIFI 5 booster so as to have your WIFI 6 (current and new releases) cams anchor to it at WIFI 6 speed.

How about having it powered through POE?

@maxuline The last fw release is v3.1.0.989_22051909. I had the RLC511WA for more than three years. I would say that I never had any issue with this camera. This is being replaced by RLC811WA.

After 2/3 years one rarely gets any fw updates.

@plum-hale_471695702057097 According to Reolink support, the dev team is working on motion tagging. Have no idea when this shall be made available.

@chopstix camera...100M is more than adequate for a cam eth but the 1G interface costs merely the same. However, I cannot understand why they implemented the 100M eth port on Home Hub Pro and WIFI booster. So if you have 8 POE cams at 4K on the home hub then you hit the limit. Simple maths.... no laplace...no fourrier transforms....
