Need more details on how its connected? using POE switch?

You cant see your DHCP table within your router? There should be a list of connected clients within the router.

If you could bring the camera down plug it up closer to the router with a short drop cable, that will confirm is there is a faulty cable or cam.

I think ReoLink banks on being affordable (hardware cost and no subs) and a very basic amount of features. There are times when I have thought about spending the money $$ on more expensive cameras and NVRs to get the "current" basic features. I have a mixed bag of cameras on my home for testing. I'm trying to figure out which brand I want to stick with.

Fully customized motion zones. Not a do not record painting feature. WDR/HDR. Fully customized scenarios. At least give us a all cam motion display section within the phone app when connected to the a NVR/HH. When I click on the NVR/HH through the phone app, all the cams should live feed. All these are normal features within 2025.

I know they showed in a previous expo show that they had full motion zones displayed. I think that was like 2 years ago. just silence. Reolink has been out far too long to take this long for basic features. If they need help testing and QA this stuff, I'm game. I literally worked for a large manufacture doing this stuff. I want ReoLink to succeed, I think they have great products.

No hard drive or POE. is the gist.

I prefer the RLN36 over the Home Hub cuz you can add 3rd party cams to it per ONVIF or RTSP. When you add cams to the Home Hub the Cams GUI gets locked.

Super awesome footage dude!

It would be nice to have a 3 cam or a 2 cam option for Duo cams. Where it shows 2 duos as widescreen. or 3 cams with the 1 duo at top as wide screen and 2 cams below in a squared box.

PC Client already does it, with 2 cam setting.

Currently the only has a 4 cam option.

I think you need to look at what you are needing.

Ultra wide is ultra...wide. But it usually has a very small vertical FOV. Unlike the 1240A, which had a huge FOV, but not as wide as the ultra-wide cams.

I prefer the ultra wide if I'm trying to capture a large area. Then i use other models when I need more accurate view.

Add them per their UID that will create the cloud link between your app and the cams.

It would be nice if "linked devices" would include more camera models.

Almost all of the cams have spotlights and or sirens. Would be nice if we could active them in scenarios.

I know on my reolink nvr, there is a auto scan feature when trying to add a cam to a channel. Does the Amcrest cam show up in that list?

@chopstix

My cam shows charging when the sun is out. It shows a lightning bolt over the battery icon.

It hasnt charged since we are heading into another winter storm, polar vortex. Lots of cloud cover. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow but cold but we will see.

I did have a lot of fragmented recordings until I adjusted the monitor point timeout and raised my PIR to the max. it’s less now.

But this is my backyard, it’s not a highly active area. It’s really to cover my front and back door.

Someone can enlighten me here... I've had a TrackMix POE for a few months and it operates really well... But for 1 thing... The zoom lens seems to have a mind of it's own. There isn't a secret way of controlling it? or adding logic to it?

I have scenarios where it sees a car and it will zoom all the way out and not in. Why would I have 2 lenses looking at the same thing the same way, zoomed out? It doesn't make sense. The zoom lens does better on animals and people, this situation still happens though.

Just doesn't seem like any reason for it to do that?

Just an FYI... The event list in the NVR does have an option for all cameras to be displayed, for event history.

Which is awesome! Bring it to the phone app or the Windows/Mac APP please. The Apps need this feature, this is a basic feature for all other vendors.

You should be able to add a camera through the NVR GUI or the Reolink APP.

Restricting it to the hooking it up to a monitor is out dated.

The NVR's GUI that shown through the monitor should be close to what the web GUI looks like.

Thanks,
Jeff

I am all for a software base ReoLink NVR, but actually having the manpower to support it is the major question. It could be labeled as uses at your own risk, I wouldn't mind running it though.

Reading the Reolink FB group, there are a TON of basic users on there that would probably increase support calls/emails.

I'm using Frigate to get the most out of my Reolink Cams. But even then, the RTSP streams are a little glitchy. RTMP runs better.

I think it all comes down to ROI. There isnt any from free software.

@elijah-pokrop

Great Signal is kinda relative... Have to confirm it. Run Acrylic Wireless Analyzer on your laptop and check the signal where your cams are located. -73 on any band is the start of low signal.

You can download wifi analyzer on a android phone or tablet and do the same.

This will give you a general idea of how the wifi is splashing in your home.

I notice this when im using reolink against any 3rd party NVR while using ONVIF. Time and DST doesnt save properly. When I turn ONVIF off, it works fine.

Maybe its something with onvif overwriting something.

@joseph_1979

Yeah I know but the Hardware Version 15's firmware is gone. I got my hands on a HW 15 version to test with and the firmware is gone.

I hope the 13 gets the update... It will suck if it doesnt.

I have the DUO 3 POE and it seems that I have the 13 hardware version.

The new firmware version for the 15 was out and on the list. Now it's not. There is only the 13. Whats the deal?

Also, is the 13 getting the new firmware version? With the new fancy AI stuff?

@user_709297619894472_709297619894472

Matters on your wireless network. If you could set the Mini Rssi on which ever band it's trying to connect to at the furthest AP to -73.

That is a good starting point. Which that AP will see a low signal signal and forcefully boot it off / block it. So the Cam will be forced to sit on the closest AP.

@berniecereynolds

Jeez man, why even have cams if you reduce it down to a blur LOL.
