@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

You cannot have continuous recording on battery cam due to battery draining fast. So the detection is based on PIR which has a max range of about 10m if sensitivity is set to max. This means that only the PIR circuit is consuming current from the battery. Once motion is detected it will start the application to analyse object and start recording and send email/push notification.

So I propose you to set the pir sensitivity to 98 and set the sensitivity of the other objects say to 60 or 70. You need to tune the best settings. Remove any motion or other from push or email as you will be bombarded with messages. Just tag pet, persons and vehicle.

@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.

@rol_640066282610764 The only way to add a camera to a Reolink NVR is at the NVR console. You need to connect a monitor and a mouse to the NVR and add it there. You can't add cameras in the app or web UI.

And make sure you have the recent fw on both the NVR and doorbell. Go to Reollnk Download Center and check them out.

@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.

@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.

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

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

@awesomebread_872791848792199 Email support on support @ reolink . com

@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.

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

@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?

@user_759118822383786_759118822383786 Have a look at https : // www . etsy . com / listing / 1547502962/ reolink-wifi-poe-steel-doorbell-guard

Specifically for Reolink doorbell.

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

@reolink-oskar If you implement IFTTT on all your products then it would be easy to invoke other cameras to be triggered and start recording. If you intend to implement this on the NVR or the hub, recall that not all customers have these units. So one has to implement it in a way that it may be used in most scenarios as described.

We still lack a lot of features we have requested. Re-introduce smart plugs and standalone spotlight.

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

@frederic-fusillier_236807380766857 In case of battery operated cameras, only the PIR circuit is drawing current while the application is in cold state. So whenever the PIR detects an objects it runs the the application which analyses the object. Therefore from the time it detects movement to the instant it start recording, a few seconds elapse and so you may miss the first part. There are times that if the object get out of the field quickly, the camera won't capture it and then you will wonder what has triggered it. I have the DUO 2 WIFI battery operated camera and I placed it on the roof where the activities are rather minimal. To capture a few seconds before the camera has been triggered then you need a dc/poe powered camera which is constantly capturing. Their detection is based on pixel change rather than PIR and have longer range.

@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.

@sibedad I don't have this model and so I cannot comment. I suggest you to email support on support @ reolink . com or come to the Reddit community where you will definitely find customers who have this model.

@boyd-s-it_447348353847436 you need to change credentials of the NVR as you have shared with him the admin account.
