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.

Viewing the cams one by one, it will stay on high. But if you view them all at one, they all will revert to low.

I wish they would let you view all on high, since I have a smoking GPU on my PC.

I have one working like clock work. But when I 1st got it, I charged it in home until 100% and then installed it outside.

I had to fidget with the solar panel location and direction a little bit to get it right. Took me a couple of days to find the right spot and angle.

I had issues with it charging below 30 degrees F but that is normal for the battery type. But 07/26/25 morning its charging at 80 degree F with 80% humidity.

Do you have the solar panel plugged up tight? You have to use some force to plug it in.

There is an option for that in the Spotlight section, its in the Night Smart Mode.

What model camera do you have?

The POE port shouldn't be connected to the network. You're probably getting IP conflict errors.
Disconnect it and you should be ready to go!

@big_ted

I have 9 cams on my home... so buying 9 ( at $170 a pop) of them would cost as much as a decent UPS. That would power up your router and switch, or just 1 NVR.

@czp_609875358003264

Adding the the previous user above mentioned. I have this same thing going on at 1 site. we have 2 NVRs on 1 network. We have a firewall, 2 large POE switches, Multiple Access Points, and multiple hardwired/wireless clients connected. All statics for NVRs and Cams.

My subnet is 10.0.0.1/24 and the DHCP Pool is 10.0.0.100-254. I set the NVR static to .20 and .21, and the cams from .22-.50

Turn off Auto Add cams to the NVR. Manually add each cam to which ever NVR you want. Then we have both monitors (1 connected to each NVR) sitting right next to each other, running at full time.

@joseph_1979 Brooo... this is looking awesome!

If you all need alpha testers... sign me up bruh!

also linked to the Pro cams?!?

Niiiice!

@reolink-alyson

Hopefully its the POE version of the elite?!?

@joseph_1979

I hope the RLN36 get the update to support this.

@peterg_15714623025

I'm going to assume you would this is weird/old school way to add cams.. I agree. They need to make this option possible at minimum through the GUI.

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.
