@pernoi_434276731408615 I answered you in the other request you made.

@reolink-oskar There are various scenarios to consider when no WIFI is available.

1. No mains power and No WIFI. Best option is to have 4G battery operated cams with solar panels. This means that you need to have a mobile data subscription for each camera.
2. Mains power available and No WIFI. Best option is to have a 4G router and WIFI battery cameras powered by solar panel.

@reolinkshayla This is fantastic. Keep it up.

However, we need to see more cameras emerging with large F1,0 aperture and larger dual CMOS 1/1,8-inch sensor. Forget the F2.0 aperture and 1/2,8-inch sensor. And at 8MP they will be super.

@chopstix To the best of my knowledge time lapse photos are saved to the SD only.

In case of NVR, a time lapse can be exported from a recorded video onto a USB attached to its USB port.

In case of Home Hub Pro (HHP), you can enable the time lapse but it is saved on the SD. Once completed one can watch it using the appl. through the HHP.

@big_ted Correct. This is NOW.

@user_736098558853348_736098558853348 It's unusual. Some people don't insert correctly the c-type plug into the socket on the camera. One has to push a bit. If you encounter the same issue and while still under warranty then I suggest you to email support on support @ reolink.com.

@crimp-on_62210811129 same here. Support always assisted when requested.

@chopstix So far Reolink introduced file encryption on Home Hub, Home Hub Pro, Altas Pt and Altas PT Plus. Reolink stated that it will deploy this encryption to its products (maybe recent releases plus new ones).

Unfortunately if WIFI is lost or the HHP is switched off and there are recordings on the cameras SD, the HHP will not synchronised the video clips. User has to delete camera and access it in standalone. There have been a lot of requests from customers to allow them to access the cameras directly and hope they are working on it. Personally this should have been available from the day the HHP has been released.

@pierre-gielen_288801745879289 Try to use pushover

@chopstix Fully in agreement. And on the HUB they should allow the deletion of clips using the admin account. There is a lot of features which can be added some of which may not require changes at the camera side.

@dotslash_888755199733903 Indeed the speaker and the USB port should have been under the camera. I have mine fully exposed and it did rain for days without impacting the functionalities of the device. It is classified as IP 66. While an IP66-rated camera is designed to be highly resistant to water, it is not designed to be submerged in water or to be continuously exposed to heavy rain or water jet.

I do concur with you that the vertical FOV is rather low. And it is not only this cam but all the newly released cameras have lower vertical FOV. We have complained about this and asked Reolink to make it bigger as we used to have them in the past.

As for the anti-theft (or camera left off-line) we have asked for a HB mechanism. In the event that this is missed for say 5 times an alert is sent to the customer in the form of email/push notification. The HB mechanism can be implemented between cam and P2P AWS servers, between camera and NVR or between camera and Home Hub. Maybe they can add a GPS and we get the location too just in case it is stolen. Why not. And if this is difficult for them to do then they can add a feature on the camera with adjustable time interval to send an email/push notification say every 12 hours.

@pierre-gielen_288801745879289 Definitely sending emails from the camera directly. A lot of members did implement this until Reolink comes with a finite solution :(.

FTP just transfer the file to an ftp server. So you need an application to go through the file and detect the object which triggered the detection and send this to your smartphone. For sure it will take much longer. If I recall correctly your application won't start analysing until file transfer has been completed and this implies minutes. So you will definitely stay with pushover.

Nothing to lose to experiment with FTP. This is fun........... at least when I do troubleshooting on mega systems it's fun. IMS/Mobile/Fixed/LI/Networking etc

@reocam_448003255267488 Yes you can. Check out this link https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000537406-How-to-Connect-PoE-Switch-Router-and-Reolink-NVRs/

@reolinkshayla Wonderful. When shall we get the doorbell firmware update pls?

@chopstix From the specs provided by the supplier, it is clear that it can be used as AP as illustrated below. Issue could be from repeater to router. So in this setup it is excluded.

@user_633508167262216_633508167262216 You're welcome. Enjoy a glass of fine wine.

@chopstix Bingo. Yes I do remember that NT server. It could be a memory leak. It's the modern way of hiding problems which cannot be solved :).

@user_784852006310042_784852006310042 v7 is 32bit client and v8.1x.x is a 64bit client. Of course as upgrades are released, new features are added or improved.

@crimp-on_62210811129 if your software is robust and well tested then there is no need of an auto reboot.
