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 have a mac mini set to auto log in with the Reolink to launch. It saves the cam layout.

Also with a WIndows PC.

I have 6 cameras layed out in a certain way and it hasnt moved yet.

I noticed I have to click on the 1st cam in the list, click the 6 box lay out, and move cams around. When I click on the 1st cam, click the 6 cam layout, it's there. It stays there after a reboot, autologin, and auto launch.

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.

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.

I use mine as full time recording... 24/7 For quick access my fam and I use the SD card playback. If we need more indepth footage, we pull from the NVR.

my clients do the same as @joseph_1979 mentioned full time recording and a backup.

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 will post my experience here... I have not seen any reviews as of now. I have 1 spot that this will work for. I finally dropped the hammer on it.

I will keep you all in the loop... @joseph_1979 and @Chopstix Kinda sucks I can't DM you too in a group chat.

This isnt done by the wireless cam or client.

A few things here... check if you have band steering on your wireless router, that will cause this! Turn it off.

If you have the Mini-Rssi option... turn it on the 5ghz at -73. This will manually boot you low signal clients off and force them to roam to the 2.4 band.

Super awesome footage dude!

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.

I have had issues with my two the Argus 4 Pro and have found out that push notice rarely works and also the animal/person detection really su**s-

Since most of the detection take place at night or in dark the camera needs the floodlight for this and the light spread is poor and also quailty suffers...

Some of the animals are detected (10% of the times) and push notice for this usually dont work at all. 

I have done all the checks recommended for the camera and adjusted almost every setting without any success. (Stable Internet YES!)

Very disappointed with the funtionality and video quality during the dark hours, 



Will there be any improvment in the detection for this camera and especially the push function?

Yeah, like I said, 30 ft is about right. 8-10m is about right. PIR sensor is the same sensor your home flood lights run off of. PIR isnt the greatest unless it's fairly close. It seems like you're barely out of view of the sensor.

@user_968844101275875_968844101275875

I have my reolink cams linked to HA server and you can manipulate the camera deeper than the standard cam settings.

@zoom996_284685177532577

Look into intergrating them with Home Assistant Server.

• Ability to store video up to 30 days and be able to browse it, in real time, on phone or PC

You will need a NVR. They have 3 models.

• Doesn't matter whether this is done by cloud or local storage, I'm good with either methodology

Its local storage. They do have cloud storage for the 4G cameras.

• For cameras I need:
• 1 Doorbell

They have this

• 2 Floodlights w/ Cameras

They have POE and Direct Connected Flood Light Cams

• 5 180-degree cameras, ability to pant, tilt and track would be gravy.

They have 180 cams also with flood lights. They do have PTZ cams, I would recommend to look at the TrackMix

• Would like 4k across the board (maybe 2k for the door)

They have 4k and 2k cams.

• I will power these by either outlets or solar (can wire all of them, solar is convenient for 1)

They do have solar power cams and direct powered cams

• Need WiFi connections to local storage or the cloud, ethernet cables wont happen as I'm on a farm with longer distances

They do sell wifi cams. I hope you have wireless backhaul bridges in place? Point to Multi Point links. If not, go look at Ubiquiti UISP Airmax product line.

• I do have a robust Mesh network with Asus BE96s which are rock solid

Going on around the farm? or your home?

Yeah, so it runs on a PIR sensor. I only get about, MAX 30 ft of detection from the sensor. You may need to turn the PIR sensor up and turn the Animal Sensitivity up.

So with the ColorX models, you need some light present for it to work really well. I like the POE Color models, they can take in more light in their sensor.

You could also turn on Motion Mark and see where the motion limits hit or miss. Thats what I do to guess-timate the range.

@user_951542971412610_951542971412610

By chance do you have the firmware update on both the NVR and track mix? Which model is the 8 channel NVR?

@user_650388602073200_650388602073200

Best bet run it against Home Assistant Server. Then you can rig it. Or get a Track Mix against Home Assistant too. Rig it again.

@user_828616743243981_828616743243981

Are you running it on RTSP stream or ONVIF? Go with the RTSP stream over ONVIF.

@user_672090474369107_672090474369107

The ones that are connected to the NVR, did you add the NVR to your phone app per the UID?

@user_828616743243981_828616743243981

I have used Blue Iris with my reolink cams for a long time. If you change the i-frame intervals to 1x, it should work.

2x or above throws it off... I switched to Frigate and had to do the same. x1 worked for all my cams with Blue Iris.
