@grod777_275772032561320 opt for their NVR.

@reolink-oskar Thanks a lot. Will ask support to push it to my camera profile.

@user_675597067345998_675597067345998 better to opt for an NVR whereby you can have 24x7 recordings. Note that cloud storage is not available to all cameras and short clips are stored.

@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.

@bobby-mcleish_277085180104878 I suggest you to opt for POE cameras and connect them through a POE rather directly to the NVR. The new NVR has a hybrid POE but we prefer an independent POE switch. Never buy a whole system as you might not be able to use the camera remotely in the event of a failure of the NVR. It should have a UID identifier which allows the camera to be accessed from remote locations. Reolink cameras do not require any subscription. Normally we store the videos on the internal SD which is based on event trigger and 24x7 on NVR. Before embarking on a system I would buy one camera, run it for a few weeks and then decide. Which camera to opt for depends on your particular requirements.

Can you please post this at Reddit Reolink? We will provide more information. Please provide your requirements so we will provide the best suggestions.

@captgadget_901354883707109 Try to use the ftp camera event on the Meteobridge to download a picture from an ftp server. On the camera enable ftp and upload an image at say 30s interval to this ftp server with a particular filename in a particular directory. You may opt to overwrite the file so that filename shall remain unchanged. Note that in Meteobridge you can define the time part of the filename using the notations used in C function strftime.

As an ftp server you can use Filezilla or Cerberus. Both are freeware for personal use.

@reolink-oskar Well we need to have battery cameras with longer PIR range detection. Perhaps one can opt to use microwave technology to have longer range detection. We noted that the PIR installed on Argus 4 Pro seems to have a longer range than the Argus 3 Ultra.

For scenarios where there is a background light, the CX is the best camera to have.

@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?

@sibedad This supports WIFI 4, 5, 6 and 6E respectively. So you should have no issue to connect any of the Reolink cameras to your router. Ensure that your configuration is correct and there is no firewall.

We already told you so in Reddit Reolink.

@pierre_185702440898690 Can you enable the motion mark from Detection Alarm menu and watch some video in high resolution to see what is causing the alarms? Moreover we normally untag the 'any motion' or 'other' in recording and push/email notifications. We just set detection based on person, vehicle and pet.

@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.

@chopstix_887064913674433 you must either enable helper-addresses or UDP forwarding via spanning tree to get the broadcast propagated.

@grod777_275772032561320 It is a base and you can tailor it to your requirements. Their client is not meant to record for 24x7 but rather to configure and have a quick look. For 24x7 you need an NVR or 3rd party application.

I suggest you to submit your request to support on support @ reolink . I am a customer like you.

@mrspock75_889662031028381 Why don't you ask your mobile operator to forward the sms to your other MSISDN. Some operators offer sms to email conversion. So apart from the sms you receive an email.

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

@vodkan_410792752525441 If the PIR is disabled then it shouldn't record or send push motification. This is what I have on all my Argus 3 and Argus 4 cams.

@chopstix_887064913674433 So if the client is on 172.20.1.x/24 then the dynamic broadcast shall be 172.20.1.255 and you need to program the router to broadcast it through other subnets. Normally this is not done and so the client won't receive the packet with payload aaaa0000, UID, IP, etc. Then it will do a DNS query for P2PX servers etc....as I described in the para I have mentioned in my previous correspondence.

Wireshark is quite good. Protocols are fun especially when there are issue in a network where a number of protocols are involved, Telecom, networking and IMS. I am a senior technical Architect handling such networks and in my free time a programmer using C++. Have good knowledge of SQP (using Oracle, sybase, etc), python, Assembly language, etc ......

@chopstix_887064913674433 You may wish to read what I wrote in June 23 at https://community.reolink.com/topic/87/how-does-the-reolink-uid-actually-work?post_id=22657&_=1734789769689

So the client broadcast the packet with payload on 255.255.255.255 and 192.168.1.255 repectively (assuming cams are on 192.168.1.0/24. Now 255.255.255.255 and 192.168.1.255 have identical effect if there are no subnets in the network. However, there is a difference when you have broken down your network into subnets. 255.255.255.255 (called as 'Limited-Broadcast') is used by a host to broadcast to all of its immediate neighbors i.e. all those interfaces on the local subnet. Whereas, you would use 192.168.1.255 (called as 'Directed-Broadcast') to broadcast to all the interfaces on the entire LAN or WAN. In this case the router has to be configure to broadcast to all subnets when receiving a broadcast on 192.168.1.255. Also, 255.255.255.255 is used by a node to broadcast on subnet if it doesn't know about its network (or simply prior to it IP configuration) and is requesting for its dynamic IP from a DHCP server. Refer to 'RFC 919' for more details.

You sound to be technical and will ask Oskar whether he can nominate you as a global moderator to assist customers.

@cabin_850248283140282 you can opt to use your WIFI rather than that of the NVR. If you don't have this feature then upgrade its firmware.

Geofencing is not available on Reolink cameras but they have the scene mode. Again this has no schedule and status. Have been asking for it for 2 years.

The client is normally used for setup and a quick look at the ecosystem. Best approach is to integrate the system with HA, Frigate, etc. Where you have more control and features.

And finally I suggest you to submit your requests to support on support @ reolink . Com.

@grod777_275772032561320 so far this cannot be done. You need to write a script to delete old files and use a scheduler to run it every x days. It's easy.
