@tom_53156095549 Uh 7 years ago. At that time there was no Alexia :). Well I have been asking for IFTTT, matter and MQTT since then and still none of these has been implemented. It seems that these are not in their priority list.

@chopstix_887064913674433 Ask the admin :). Even me sometimes had to re-type as I got error after clicking submit. They did this limit to avoid scams.

@reolink-cam_813700743893181 Kindly submit your request to support on support @ reolink . com. The more requests they receive the higher the probability of seeing it implemented.

@chopstix_887064913674433 You seem to be knowledgeable about their products and if I am Reolink Admin I will certainly ask you to be a moderator to assist customers. However, I am just a customer as you and have no authority. And I do not have so much free time as I am very busy with mega IMS projects.

@reolink-oskar Hopefully one day will get the proper calling feature on the Android client. We wish to see more features implemented.

As for privacy mode one can check this link https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/37046076925209-Introduction-to-Reolink-Privacy-Mode/

@Oskar I cannot find the power option for the battery doorbell. On which fw this feature is available pls?

@luke_537322793328769 Technically the upgrade of the fw will not change any setting unless you don't tag reset config parameter. However, this has to be confirmed by supplier. Email support.

@user_901386068689094_901386068689094 Once you ack the push notification there is no way to see it in the list. We are requesting Reolink to add event history. However, they have added this feature to the home hub and some NVRs. I don't use any of these devices.

I think the time is 2 min after which it will take you to the playback.

@liamsligo_440194925559999 I have a number of different Reolink cameras configured to forward emails and never had any issue. I am using Gmail SMTP server. To use Gmail you need to generate the password from the Gmail account so as to avoid authentication which is not supported by Reolink.

@user_829609175638167_829609175638167 choose other network and add the 2.4G SSID. Maybe it is hidden.

@sibedad I have several cams from Reolink and never had any major issue. Wherever possible avoid battery cams. But it is better than nothing.

@408313508024554 start capturing and enter ftp as indicated below. Then go to the camera and do a test ftp.

@mrspock75_889662031028381 I don't have the home hub yet and so cannot give a definite answer to your questions. However, you can post this on Reddit Reolink where there are lots of customers using the home hub and will certainly answer you.

@reolink-oskar so far it can identify an object, namely, person, animal, vehicle, etc. We now need to identify who is that object eg...face recognition, access social media to get info about the person,....if animal which animal, car which model, etc.....Enhanced AI.

@user_811568924922088_811568924922088 Apart from reset and start all over you have two more options.

1. Change the ssid and password of the new router to be the same as the old ones.
2. From your smartphone change the ssid and password of the hotspot to be like the old ones. Then from a pc access the doorbell camera and change the wifi network to the new one.

@andyl_899356171509953 it does record to both SD and the home hub. If camera is stolen then you have the videos in the home hub. To see the video in SD you need to remove it from hub. Reolink are wotking on a solution to allow users to see cam and hub videos separately. Similar to an NVR when cams are connected through a switch.

Update on 08/01/25: Now Reolink are have update the fw of a number of NVRs whereby now they bridged the switch and I assume you can access the camera directly. I cannot say this with certainty as I do not use NVR. I use SD, ftp and HA.

@big_ted Well....it states worried about missing package. Then what about if for one reason or another the camera is unavailable. Do we get a notification? No...... and this is more important than the package.

@reolink-oskar This all boils down to costs. One of the key advantages of full colour night vision technology is that it offers clear and vivid colour images, even in near complete darkness say as low as 0.0005 lux. This is made possible by having a massive 1/1.2'' CMOS image sensor to capture more light, as well as a warm light that reaches up to 200ft. The technology has come a long way in recent years and continues to improve, making it a popular choice for cameras. There are also a couple different technologies to achieve full color. Some of the more affordable full color cameras use a built in warm light that can go as far as 100ft. More advanced cameras utilize two lenses. One lens captures visible light and the other captures infrared, both are then combined with clever programming to achieve a multi-spectral image. This means that with the same 100ft warm light, you can see even further in the dark.

Another technology is thermal imaging technology which captures the temperature difference between objects. They use microbolometers to detect different amounts of infrared light which are then converted to images of heat signatures. Since these cameras can identify heat patterns, they can see even in zero light and when there’s smoke present. So thermal night vision cameras are very useful for security where visual clarity is important regardless of the lighting condition.
