@hometheater503_202558512976108 This Android 9 pie is now 5 years old. Since then there were 5 major Android upgrades. Would you consider an Android upgrade? Most probably support will ask you to upgrade.

@input_343270296944801 I have Argus 2 and Argus 3 Pro and have brightness control under Display. So they haven't added brightness on the first generation of Argus PT!!

Try to email Reolink support and ask them if there is any newer firmware version. Include the hardware version of your Argus PT.

@marsh-house_658922658557990 Check this out https://reolink.com/blog/record-security-camera-for-24-7/

@bob_65499640606940 Unfortunately there is no way of creating a hidden account. For what reason do you want this hidden admin account if you are the administrator?

@input_343270296944801 Normally this appears under Display. I don't have an Argus PT. Check this out. https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/13401089697049-How-to-Set-up-Brightness-Shadows-for-Battery-powered-Cameras-via-Reolink-App

@sicherheitstechniker_268838991474823 Today most cams manufacturers implement the standards IFTTT or MQTT protocols rather than an HTTP API.

@rainman Through CGI you can only obtain the SD capacity but no more. There is no access to Linux. To know what's stored on SD just insert it in your SD slot of the PC. You just see files. No folders.

@user_629911810629744_629911810629744 Matter is here and together with Thread they should make smart home connectivity a lot easier. But it is still not yet there on camera since version one lacks functionalities. But it will come.

@wrathchild_34 Yes this has been observed by many customers on the new Windows client 8.8.4. Hopefully they will fix it.

@sj_291112514777230 It simply resets the configurable parameters to their default value. This is referred to as factory setting.

Similarly if you click restore on WIFI cams, all parameters are resetted with the exception of the WIFI as otherwise you will lose connectivity.

@user_658824716533794_658824716533794 I don't think this is possible with the existing hardware. Hope we see this in the next video doorbell generation together with callouts to our smartphone.

@ginny They need to learn to keep the previous downloaded version . Despite the myriads of requests, Reolink should save old versions of applications and firmware at their website or at the community.

@jedi2020_32727772450952 just capture wireshark trace at the WAN and then start the Reolink client. You will see the DNS queries and responses for each camera. If I recall correctly they use port 9999.

@user_645880601444421_645880601444421 This is because these P2P servers are still not yet in service. There is no A records. Client still forwards a DNS query to resolve hostname and get the local loop IP. No harm at all. They might be used for future expansion or redundancy. For each cam the client gets its public ip address from 8 P2P servers. This indicates the level of redundancy.

@guymwilliamson7_483830574665915 Try to restore camera.

@nitrate70_572608013877834 Not recommended unless you are a Windows guru. Install the client and add the camera by entering the UID. Very simple.

@kdgordon44_313186798092489 Reolink has at least 8 P2P servers and the client forwards the request for each cam to all of them. They are located at different countries. So the issue was not actually the P2P servers but rather you had an issue with the DNS. If you are outside the cam network the client needs to query the P2P servers. Querying the P2P servers is quite fast.

@ben-l_363180304232580 We will check the ticket and get back to you.

@jedi2020_32727772450952 especially after they launch the poe switch. They need to offer both and let the customer chose as per his/her requirements.

@freddy-fredricksonthe5th_397846696067267 Simply because there were a few requests.
