@kimchigun if the cam doesn't detect motion for about 10s it stops recording. Increasing the PIR will enable motion to be detected a bit farther away and so it continues to record on the same clip.

@thierry_835077729128592 votre configuration est tout à fait correcte. Dans le cas où vous ne pouvez pas connecter la caméra au hub domestique, vous avez perdu la connectivité directe avec la caméra. Par conséquent, votre accès se fait uniquement via le hub domestique. Pour accéder à la caméra, vous devez la supprimer du hub domestique. Espérons qu'un jour ils nous permettront d'accéder aux caméras de la même manière que le NVR. Par ailleurs veuillez noter que les vidéos stockées sur la SD ne sont pas synchronisées avec celles stockées sur le hub domestique. c'est-à-dire que si vous éteignez le hub domestique et qu'un événement est enregistré sur la SD, lorsque vous allumez le hub domestique, cette vidéo ne sera pas transférée au hub domestique. Nous espérons qu’ils résoudront ces deux problèmes. Quand... je n'en ai aucune idée.

@chopstix Set it to 30s. In Europe we say....call it a day :).

@chopstix it will be less. Try it out. Stay in motion.

@chopstix that explains why so many clips. I set the post recording to max. If there are 10s of no detection the camera stops recording.

@chopstix Some observations:

1. Indeed battery operated cams have only the PIR and the WIFI ccts which are active at all times so as to elongate the battery charge. So the PIR cct has to trigger the bootstrap to run the application to start detection the object type, check non detection zone, start recording if scheduled and activated, check whether a push/email notification has to be send, etc and this entails for time. So if the object passes fast over the FOV then it will be missed and may not even recorded. So the best cams are the ones powered through dc adaptors and POE which are constantly recording and can provide recording priori the event trigger. But again better than having no cameras. Personally, I do not think that tracking is something to add to battery cams but rather would have exploits other features.
2. To have 360 degrees is achieved if you have a full 360 view. This could be two DUOs back to back or having a pentagon type cam with 5 lenses. Nice to have.
3. Camera is able to follow one motion and so important actions may be missed. Hopefully that the cam always retrun to its monitor position and no need of frequent calibration.
4. I have E1 Zoom, E1 OD Pro and TM. the best motion tracking is provided by the TM.
5. Yes, I agree that the 3W is rather low power solar especially if it is triggered often. It needs at least 6W solar panel.
6. Can you rotate the antenna downwards and notice if there is any improvement? I have asked for RSSI indication on the camera and some stats on packets such as loss packets, latency, etc. This helps the user identify issues on the WIFI network. The bars shown are nowhere accurate.
7. What is the recording time set on your camera? I normally set them to max permissible.

@casa-tecolote_694497117085937 I agree. Would you be able to submit your request to support on support @ reolink .com

@chopstix You will learn and teach

@radioastronomy_410111540293820 Well if the burglar wears a balaclava then you are screwed. By default most security equipment is stored either in garage or basement. Then cable locator and wow here it is. :). My philosophy is that if one wants to break in he will definitely do it no matter what you have. See how many bank heist there have been and some of them still on the run. But to keep our mind at peace we say we did everything we can.

You sound to be a good planner like me. I spent a lot of time in planning which really pays off. However, even though my cables are free too, I only run one cable but at any time I can replace any as I did the installation too and knows all the routing olus being documented with photos too.

Nice to meet such people. Cheers buddy.

@cvance10_529511550173407 you need to enable the uid on the rlc511wa as illustrated in https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013481134-How-to-Enable-UID-for-Reolink-Products/

@user_880405136908475_880405136908475 I suggest you to submit your complaint to support on support @ reolink . Com

Since you have adjusted the day/night slider and there was no effect then it can be a fw issue

@reolink-oskar Can you tell us on which fw the quick replies mentioned above have been implemented?

@chopstix So now I go for a long break and leave it to you.....fantastic.

@icancyou_596163611529276 There is a newer fw https://home-cdn.reolink.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/230701081708671668.8679.zip?download_name=RLC_842A_1643_2402219328.zip

When applying this fw, reset the configuration and start afresh. Take note of the settings before applying upgrade.

Email support on support @ reolink . Com and tell them to send you firmware IPC_325C7.705_21052800

@cvance10_529511550173407 When you say you can watch it from work on pc, is your office using the same network? Ensure that the UID is enabled on RLC-511WA. When you are at work or on an external WIFI network and your smartphone is connected to this WIFI, will you be able to access the RLC-511WA?

@user_766423686758602_766423686758602 Can you connect to your network over VPN? You need to be on the local network and use webui, assuming you have either http or https enabled.

Maybe you have someone who can connect his PC to your home network, do a remote login on his pc and then install the Reolink client or use webui,

@radioastronomy_410111540293820 Nothing is secured. Just follow the cables and it will be found.

@user_657209872740378_657209872740378
...
first check that you have the most recent firmware from the reolink download center. Is it ringing or push message notification?

@maxuline I did install it for several weeks now and so far no issues. However, I moved it to an area where only persons can be detected.

Update: I did have installed an RLC-811WA in the location of the RLC-511WA. RLC-811WA has lower vertical FOV and of course a better definition since it is 8MP. However, I am having some issues with its WIFI stability. When there is a TCP retransmission the audio stops for a few seconds and sometimes the frames freeze. WIFI at this location is absolutely strong with 250Mbps/100Mbps and have other WIFI cameras in the vicinity and they have no similar issues. I told them that why you implement TCP as transport for Video and audio especially when using WIFI. I forwarded them traces indicating where is the issue.
