@chopstix That means that we are reading what you write :). Joking. Sometimes I text while in a boring meeting which I don't chair and won't check my typing....

@building-a_142124144668895 best way forward is to implement the de-facto standard for IoT messaging which is MQTT. But have no idea when Reolink shall be embarking on this. Competitors already started to deploy it.

@cationexchangecapacity_319602913190091 I cannot include URLs. Go to ebay(dot)co(dot)uk and search for 254653387081. They still have 13 available.

@kimchigun Let make some calculations.

20,000mAh is 20 Ah. The battery capacity, volts times amp-hours, is about 3.6 x 20 = 72 Wh. The maximum input power is 5 x 1.2 = 6 W. Assuming a 10% power tolerance from the panel (regulator) the charge time in bright sunlight, continually facing the sun, would be 72/6/0.9 = 13.3 hours. However the charge might taper the charge current towards the end of charge so it would actually be longer than that....say 16 hours. Therefore we need a higher wattage solar panel .... at least a 12W panel which yields to 7 hours of bright sunlight.

@user_617216361168971_617216361168971 A shadow is defined as a contour of an object that forms due to the blockage of a light source. The setting here is used to manipulate the light source, exposure of the shadow to add or remove darkness from the image, and the increased dramatic depth of the image.

1. Put PIR sensitivity to 92 and person sensitivity to 65. Try to tune the person sensitivity.....but do not make it high as you will get a person detection for a swinging plant.
2. 
   
3. You shouldn't get anything from the non-detection zone. Try to activate the 'motion mark Beta' and check what has triggered the camera. This is available on both the latest Android and Windows client. You need to view in CLEAR mode to have the motion tagging.
4. 
   
5. We normally disable 'any motion' as we are only interested in persons, vehicles and pets. Otherwise for any motion ( a branch, snow, etc) you will get an alert.

@chopstix I used to design, implement and carry out the acceptance testing of mobile networks :). I know to what you were referring to but as I explained an IMSI (i.e. Physical SIM) consists of 16 digits, the first 5-6 are the MCC and MNC . The MCC is the mobile country code which is 222 for Italy (like the Telephone country code +39) and MNC is the Mobile Network code, namely, the operator. eg 299 1mobile, 08 fast web, etc. So each operator will only authenticate the IMSI range assigned to him by the local Communication Authority. So to connect to different networks one needs to have different SIMs. Note that I am excluding MVNOs which are operators which use the mobile infrastructure of another operator. These MVNOs normally use different IMSI range. So to connect to two distinct mobile operators, you need two SIMs.

The two way radio units you mentioned still use SIMs. These use packet data only. Most operators assigned these units M2M SIMs. Any device which connects to 4G networks requires a SIM. The only exception is when calling the emergency number in which case there is no IMSI authentication. Some people remove the IMSI and make a prank call to the emergency service. They think that they cannot be traced. They are stupid as the operator has the IMEI of the phone through which the call has been made.

Let see with what they come out.

@mattdm_579588790694198 Wording is wrong...should be default or factory settings.

@marco-bologni_627616607150391 together with SIP calling.

@chopstix
It couldn't be a local eSIM as local mobile operators won't allow it. So it has to be an operator who has roaming agreement with all mobile operators. Then the MCC + MNC of the IMSI will be mapped to a Global Title and MAP messages forwarded to the serving operator. Charging will be handled by this operator.

Note that in the description it is stated that the SIM is included. So we are there.... similar to the P2P servers provided by AWS.

@curls You can achieve this on Android client by re-order the cameras to your requirements until the feature will be implemented.

@gbee_140374135459980 RLC-811A/TrackMix are quite good but before concluding have a look at the comparison sheet prepared by a moderator at the Reddit Reolink community. https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/z6caqk/reolink_specs_comparison_charts/

@chopstix I have moved from software development to senior technical architect to teaching and now consultant on security (not cameras :)). 1992... at that time there was pascal and C.

@user_585783633887262_585783633887262 Ha ha ha............. now you know it. The only source of knowledge is experience.

@user_746623229407444_746623229407444 So far nothing. We are all waiting to test out the calling feature.

@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.

@user_585783633887262_585783633887262 Sure. Just change false to true. If the applications runs then you can change it through the client general options menu. Normally the first option is used if the screen goes black immediately.

@user_788294888542437_788294888542437 Calling feature shall be available with the new firmware which shall be released this month (according to Reolink announcements).

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