@big_ted This was not catered for in the 8.8.5 client upgrade routine. It should have deleted the 32 bit version and install the 64 bit. No rigorous testing.

I have them both but I know how to handle them.

@user_657449905848424_657449905848424 Good question.

@Daisy: Can you answer this please?

@nacster_1969 I already stated that I have no issue in installing and running any of the 8.10.x clients. I have them on three PCs with both Win 11 and 10. No need to look for ZX81, Spectrum, QL, Commodore, BBC, etc........ we know it and we used to code games and programs in assembly language...Z80, 6502, MC6809 etc. If you want I can teach you assembly language, C++, python, networking, Telecom, IMS, etc.

So be respectful. The supplier will sort the issue as they did in the past.

@nacster_1969 I know that it can be frustrating but Reolink is one of the companies which listen to its customers. Indeed sometimes it takes time to implement but they have their priorities and strategies.

I encounter these issues with big companies on multi-million equipment (bigger than CISCO since you are in the networking). I do all the investigation, collect all the traces and logs and we together sort out the issue. It's useless to complain at the wrong place. One has to follow the correct procedure.

@user_782828081017023_782828081017023 On Reddit Reolink community I read that once a battery camera is connected to the hub, one loses the direct connectivity. So all the control of the cameras shall be through the hub.

See point 3 in https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/1e4muu5/home_hub_qa/

@user_694180074676378_694180074676378 It seems an issue specific to your environment. On my 8.10.4 it is working correctly. It's not easy to know why the calendar is not being popped up. Is your java updated? Try to run the client as Administrator. Try to install it again. If still unable to get the calendar then email Reolink support.

@user_654306224615431_654306224615431 I did a lot of fw upgrades and so far none of them failed. You may ask support to provide you with an old fw.

@crimp-on_62210811129 I cannot reproduce your screen blinking issue when zooming in/out using the mouse wheel. I tried on Fluent, Balance and Clear. I am running 8.10.4 on Win 10 64bit. Tomorrow I will check my other notebook running Win11.

@tomsreolink I already told them. It is of utmost important to keep customers informed with the latest developments, fw upgrades, roadmaps with estimated deliver time, etc. And that any client or fw release should be rigorously tested.

@crimp-on_62210811129 I conducted the tests on Argus 3 Pro and DUO 2 at clear resolution and full screen on both Win 10 and 11 and couldn't reproduce the black screens. And I did scroll the mouse wheel as fast as I can. Do you have other applications running in parallel with the client? Do you have adequate video RAM? Can you check whether there are services which have higher priority which are causing interrupts? Can you set the priority of the client to high and check?

On a different note but the subject being the 8.10.4, the stream mode setting is being ignored when set from a network outside the LAN on which the cameras are installed. So you set the stream mode as CLEAR on the live and move to the Playback tab..........without selecting any clip and you go back to the previous live window of same camera, the stream mode takes again the default setting which is FLUENT. I checked this on a number of cameras and got the same behaviour.

However, if I repeat the same procedure with the notebook connected to the same LAN as the camera then the stream mode settings are correctly set and retrieved (the client use the private IPs of the cameras to communicate). Maybe Reolink introduced this so as to minimise the time it takes to display the live stream. I started to experience this since 8.10.2. I did report this and have been told that this is a design. But I am still pushing for this to change.

@md I have already requested all of these with support, here and on Reddit.

@jfbaro_664228245382261 AV1 could be the future of codecs, but older codecs like H.254 and H.256 have their merits as they offer better compatibility and lower encoding time on current hardware.

@big_ted of course. But they need to improve their clients and add more features customers are requesting. We are seeing new cameras but no features.

@user_702445053329578_702445053329578 Issue can be the ISP bandwidth or the Radio Acceess network bandwidth (mobile which i do not think unless you are on 4G). I think the issue is your upload speed of 24Mbps. That's too low. 8MP camera may peak at 18Mbps. Recall that from camera side the upload bandwidth is important and from your smartphone the download speed. When you have the issue try to measure the UL speed either from pc or smartphone connected to your home network.

@manc-sooty_859835089170607 We have been saying this for v1 chimes. They should have produced more chimes than doorbell :).

@t-saint_696989900566706 If there is no activity within 10s the camera returns to its guard point position. However, this is readily available on the Trackmix models through two parameters, namely, object stops and object disappears timers. Please email support and see if they can apply it on your model.

@robert_5420 What is the fw of your NVR? Check out this link https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410520891033-Which-NVR-Can-Work-with-Reolink-Duo-WiFi-PoE-/?source=search

"Please note that if your Duo 2 WiFi/PoE works with an NVR with Hw_H3MB18 Hw_N3MB01, and Hw_N2MB02 hardware, you need to upgrade your NVR's firmware to the latest version to view the video, and it can only support max. 6MP video resolution.
The decoding width of Hw_H3MB18 Hw_N3MB01, and Hw_N2MB02 hardware is 4096. Therefore, if you set the mainstream resolution as 4608*1728, the image cannot be displayed on full screen successfully. It is recommended to set the mainstream resolution as 4096*1536."

Ensure you have the latest fw on both DUO 2 and NVR. Go to their Reolink Download Center and check them out.

@davidandrewpowell81_526149738635440 I suggest you to roll back to 8.8.5 on the other pc and wait till they fix it. You are not the only one to encounter this issue. I cannot reproduce and so cannot delve through.

I saw some have drag the camera out of the liveview. Others have deleted and added cams.

In my opinion when upgrading to 64 bit client they should have done a clean up of the installed client and its data and then proceed with the fresh installation. The 64 bit client is using the same data of the 32 bit client.
