@cle_911680035188990 I agree that the title is misleading. It should read... some advantages of having a HH with battery cams.

Opt for high endurance SD.

@user_918371380109526_918371380109526 Normally it refers to the device. I do not see any issue if you use the 33ft 20awg extension cable. I have a battery camera with the solar panel connected to an extension cable of 8.5m and it is always fully charged.

@onlooker_890638347890931 I know what is BMS and as stated the charging current is set by the charging cct within the cam. Even though you see it 100% charged, it is not 100%. To prolong the life of lithium batteries, they are normally charged to 80%. No need to delve further.

For all battery cams, there is a delay of say 6 to 10s. Only the PIR and the WIFI ccts are consuming current. Application is in cold state. This is triggered once PIR detects an object ot the WIFI cct detects a preamble message. Battery cams is better than having nothing. For prompt reply one has to opt for POE.

@user_620089981972582_620089981972582 I was 100% sure it was the problem on your WIFI network. So the entity serving your doorbell is not access point but rather a WIFI repeater. Normally we refer to access point if and only if it is connected to the router via ethernet. So you have a repeater connected to an access point. If you are unable to have a cable to the doorbell or to this WIFI repeater (which can be converted to Access Point) then I suggest you to get a long range WIFI repeater such as the TP link RE650V2. I have this WIFI repeater and have no issue with it. This is at the back of my house catering for the garden and I cannot wired it to the central router.

A side note. I wish Reolink add high gain antenna to their WIFI cameras. Most of my cams are WIFI as I hate cables being cleated or passed through plastic trunking. I don't want to do any trenches in the walls.

@user_620089981972582_620089981972582 Good.

@user_766834819485911_766834819485911 J'ai supposé que vous aviez formaté la SD. Vous devez activer l'enregistrement continu via l'enregistrement/le calendrier/l'heure et enregistrer.
Il est recommandé d'utiliser du SD haute endurance. 

Vous pouvez tester la SD en la branchant sur le PC et en exécutant un programme comme H2testw pour la tester.

@onlooker_890638347890931 It is the battery charger that controls the charging current, not the chargers power supply. In most lithium battery powered devices the charger is integrated into the device itself, and using a higher amperage power source has no effect on the charging current whatsoever. Devices where you can set the charging current as you wish, like radio controlled models, but those are in the minority.

@user_620089981972582_620089981972582 Would you be able to get the WIFI doorbell inside and connect it to the router? Use both WIFI and eth connectivity. In this way we eliminate the access point.

@user_620089981972582_620089981972582 Check whether the satellites go out of synch. Is it possible to have distinct SSID for 2.4G and 5G? If yes then connect the doorbell to the 2.4G band. If you have the preference WIFI band then set it to 2.4G and restart cam.

@rainman This is an old problem with FE-P v1. I suggest you to open a ticket with support.

@onlooker_890638347890931 Depends how much it is triggered. Once I tested an Argus 4 Pro on an intense traffic road and it didn't cope.

@chopstix At least fixed :).

Issue is still at the sw dev team. Apart from this I have a WIFI stability problem on the RLC-811WA. I am getting choppy audio and freeze frames. Camera is less than 3m away from the WIFI access point and 1 m below it I have the battery doorbell which is quite stable. This issue arises because they are using TCP rather than UDP for local transport. To the best of my knowledge live streaming/audio is mostly transported over UDP.

@chopstix So we got through same problem. I opened a ticket. I will ask for an update.

@chopstix If you set the WIFI Band Reference to only 5G and then you change the WIFI connection to 2.4G then it will not connect to the 2.4G. It won't even try to connect to the 5G. This was my scenario. This is a bug for me and I did report it.

@reolink-oskar With HHP I would add the Argus 4 Pro, the Argus PT ultra and the Argus 3 Ultra. Perfect match.

@reolink-oskar We really miss Wild Life. Awesome video.

@chopstix That's the design now.... it works as designed... their usual answer. I had similar issues with big suppliers and then I withheld support payments.

@chopstix As for the password this is forwarded by the HHP. It should show more bars...2.4G has lower wavelength and so longer range and more penetrable. The problem is why it didn't connect to the 2.4G? On the WIFI doorbell do you have the preferred connection set to 5G? If so this is the problem. I have encountered this and had to connect via the eth port to fix it.

@user_901203979997352_901203979997352 Submit your request to support on support @ reolink . Com

I did ask for flexible schedulers on various functions.

@reocam_448003255267488

Your Android smartphone which is connected to your home WIFI has Google services running on it which continuously update the Google FCM with its IP. So when the Google FCM receives the push message request from Reolink message handler server (AWS), it knows where to send it...to the IP of your smartphone. Consider the IP as your home address which is unique in the world. This is at high level as there is NAT at your router but this is beyond your understanding.
