@user_863771412115668_863771412115668 Better to opt for an NVR which will be also accessible from anywhere.

@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.

@user_867198496854215_867198496854215 just search my posts on P2P relay servers and you will find everything.

@crimp-on_62210811129 The timeline scrubber is a timer with a red or different colour line that indicates a point in time in the scene where the object was first detected. You can drag the time scrubber along the timeline to jump to a specific time in the scene.

I have seen this on Trackmix with the latest firmware and on Android. Not so accurate but at least they started.

@user_692864088391837_692864088391837 You may ask support on support @ reolink . com

@supaman881_549047356960906 I suggest you to submit your request to support on support @ reolink . Com

@user_871736311287948_871736311287948 untag motion (or others) in both recording and push notification.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 I can fully understand you but we can't do anything other than pestering and hopefully one day we may see a solution. I am chasing them on two issues, one on thumbnails not always showing the detected object (Android) and the other one concerning the motion and timer detection type(Windows). I am so busy that I have no time to reply to members.

You can take a donkey to drink water but you cannot force him to drink :). All companies have the same primordial goal...sell...sell...sell and then .....

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 Since it is reachable and I have no disconnections I stay with the newest fw (v3.0.0.3748_2408281837) and forget about the WIFI signal strength indicator. However, there is the issue of icons on playback which I am liaising with support to sort out. If there are any updates on this I let you know.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 Here it comes. Note that this is from the most recent fw as I had to load it again to provide some info requested by Reolink support.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 Thanks. I always keep the old fw for all my models. I am using the Nov version. Will await till an upgrade is provided.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 The last version included in their download center has restored the previous max bit rate and fps for the clear mode. Subsequently the washed colours issue has been solved.

Signal level is still problematic.

In addition to this, on channel 1 you shall see an additional file with detection type timer even though you don't schedule recordings during specific times. You can see this by selecting channel 1 and click on playback. Then click on download....you shall see two files for each event. One with the person (and motion????) and the other timer. Moreover on each thumbnail shown in channel 1 you shall have motion icon apart from person/vehicle/pet. And any motion is untagged in recording. Most probably the programmer failed to do proper testing or his environment is a simulator :). Whenever I deliver applications to my customers I spend a lot of time testing different scenarios and do include a debug function which I ask customers to activate it and repeat the procedure yielding to the problem. Here I log everything and this really assist me in troubleshooting. Different mentality.

@ediaz_515011123880149 a year passed and didn't hear anything. Pity. We are dealing with security and so we need to have guarantee that camera is functioning.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 I cannot do anything. I am a customer like you. Apart from this there are issues related to the object detection type. For instance I am now seeing timing detection files which I have never seen before. If you go to playback and click download.......sometimes human is replaced by timing. I reported it but didn't yet get any reply (usual robotic questions :)). For a human/pet I got three files.....motion, timing, human and pet. And the objects to be recorded are human, pet and vehicle. This is only happening since I upgraded both the fw of the TM and the Windows client...... I am very busy and won't log frequently....so be patient if I don't reply.

@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.

@alteksi_402476097769630 This is super easy as easy as ABC

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"GetOnline\",\"action\":1}]" "https://#IP_of_cam#/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

If you get error 14 the programmer failed to allocate dynamic memory using malloc() function. In this case ask support for a new fw :).

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 I told you the issue is on various models.

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 Email is a template :).

@mamymam2013_465350299701478 I am running this version for more than a week now and have no issues.
