@tw98 As for the Reolink watermark, you can remove it by disabling the watermark under DISPLAY. And for the FTP, you have to select which stream (Fluent, balance and clear) shall be ftped.

For the other requests, I suggest you to submit them to support on support @ reolink . com

@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.

@micciche-matteo I have never came across any Reolink document on ONVIF implementation. Only the API doc was released to the public. You may submit your request to Reolink support.

@jleung7_664526975243058 Maybe August/Sept.

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

@reolink-cam_813700743893181 Most network surveillance camera streams are made up of I-frames and P-frames, I-frames are full image captures that record everything the camera is seeing and P-frames are the frames between the I-frames where only the elements of the image that are changing are refreshed.

To explain this with an example, if you had an empty corridor and someone walked down it the I-frame would capture the entire image and then the following P-frames would only capture the elements of the image that are changing, which in this case would be the person walking.

The idea behind this is that it is another way to compress the bitrate of the camera stream because instead of capturing 25 full-resolution images every second you are capturing one full image every 50 frames (e.g. 2 seconds) and then all the frames in between only capture what changes in the image and thus are much smaller files/use less bitrate.

Reducing the I-frame interval (25 frames, 10 frames, etc...) will obviously increase the bitrate/bandwidth used by the camera and is only really recommended if you are installing the camera in a very busy scene where having the full image refresh more regularly can improve image detail. Increasing the I-frame interval (75 frames, 100 frames, etc...) will decrease the bandwidth used and is only really recommended when covering scenes with little to no activity as you will see a drop in image quality and maybe even distortion to any movement that happens between the I-frames.

Now as regards the new fw, ensure you have the latest one cited in the Download center. I have the WIFI trackmix and the first fw released included ONVIF but at the expense of lower resolution at clear mode. In fact the colours appeared washed out. We have requested to restore max bit rate and fps and the definition is merely the say as the old fw. There are some issues on the new fw. Do a search on Trackmix fw and you shall find a thread on this.

@wgarigen_650802416795708 So far this is available for KEEN Ranger PT and Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi models and one has to have a cloud account. Reolink should work on this and provide this feature at least on all the new models.

@rockcock_637337742590075 We have already provided these suggestions to support. However, it would be helpful if you will submit your requests to support on support @ reolink . com. The more requests they receive the higher the probability we see them implemented.

@jing_734911040270566 This is the norm with most suppliers. I used to patch equipment costing millions of bucks and no details were provided. Those were the days when you receive the details and the code changed (in assembly language). And fixing known bugs is the generic one. It's like the adhoc assignment in your job.

@doug_752101354516718 Uh we have been asking this for quite some time. We asked for status, schedule and more settings on the Scene Mode. This is on the application and doesn't entail any changes in the firmware. At least on Android and IoS. Hope we see this implemented.

@mlodge87_607028518432873 And if you use the PC on your home WiFi, you have the same issue?

Which cameras you have installed? Did you try to switch off mobile data and connect to the home WiFi? Did you try to connect with fluent rather than clear mode? Do you have the latest version of the client on the smartphone? Do your cameras have the latest firmware?

@deirdre_509993927315611 Did you try at gumtreedotcom? They have it. Replace dot by . as it is restricted to include a link.

@user_811736275218677_811736275218677 We have asked Reolink to provide this and status for the widget feature.

@user_678736611209466_678736611209466 Can you paste a screenshot? I am away but once I get to my house I will upgrade it.

@awesomebread_872791848792199 Email support on support @ reolink . com

@user_805124439601351_805124439601351 oh yes...similar to TAPO from tp link. Please submit your request to support. The more requests they get the higher the probability of being implemented. I will email them.

@ken_197973053927635 It's beyond the reach of any powerful extender like TP RE650. Try to search for solar Nanostation as suggested by Chopstix.

@reolink-daisy How about an improved Trackmix to be part of the CX family?

Video analytics process video in real-time and transform it into intelligent data. They automatically generate descriptions of what is happening in the video and are used to detect and track objects which also could be categorized as persons, vehicles, pets and other objects in the video stream. Video analytics turn simple IP video into business intelligence. We can use the camera to identify a License Number Plate and the car model and used it to open a gate (normally done through RFID). Other examples are shelf occupancy sending an alarm when the number items is below a threshold, parking lot monitoring citing the empty spaces available, face and gender recognition, crowd detection, congestion detection and many myriad of other analytics. Video analytics requires volume of data to be very accurate together with powerful processing power. Some camera suppliers are building their AI technology on cloud platforms thinking ahead of the future requirements. Is Reolink thinking about this business intelligence?

@lekkoferreira_866142292218072

This is the way it has been implemented. This is not a calling feature but rather a push message notification. I have been telling them to implement it using VOIP (like what competitors have done) or XMPP. But so far no feedback.
