@reolink-fiona Most important question: same c**ppy gears inside like 5MP E1 or can this one manage to keep a guardpoint?

Hi,

I have several cameras that look at a scene from different angles. Now I noticed that when an alarm was triggered by one camera, whether person or vehicle, it not necessarily triggered the alarm also on the other camera, maybe because of sensitivity settings, distance, object size, whatever...

Personally I would find it very useful if you could link some cameras together, so if one registers an alarm it can tell the other camera to record also. Two viewing angles = better identification of intruder or whatever.
That should not be a big issue in the same network, as the app for example can register cameras in the same network, so cameras could surely do the same. Or give the opportunity to put in specific IP adresses of linked cameras.

Or maybe some kind of "broadcast" the camera sends to the local network and other devices can react. This maybe would also be helpful for an app notification on e.g. mobile phones if you use your cameras only within a local network or with VPN.

So that's my wishlist

Hello,

in my country there are quite strict legal regulations about video surveillance.

One is that it is not allowed to store data for longer than a certain period. Common jurisdiction states for example 72 hours. So that would mean, for a totally legal usage of the cameras, you would have to check for and delete data everyday that is older than 3 days.

I would therefore like to see an optional function, that deletes those footage after a specific, editable period (preferrably in hours). So you can decide whether to

• not delete it at all and allow the camera to overwrite data as it is common now or
• give a certain time frame (like 1 hour to 8760 hours or so :)) after which the data is automatically deleted.

Thanks for reading.

@reolink-fiona Doorbell, definitely, this is the next thing I personally need in the very near future. Motion tagging is surely helpful to understand in uncertain situations WHAT actually triggered the alarm. But this feature should be ON/OFF-able I think, if everything is clear than I don't really need a frame or whatever around the person in the picture.
12MP Bullet with two-way and big FOV sounds also interesting, especially for long driveways or corridors...

You know what... just send me everything for betatesting

@reolink-fiona Sorry did not get a notification about your answer, but thank you very much for your feedback!

Furthermore:

• Please add the possibility to change the threshold of day/night switching. I have a situation where I have a streed lamp in front of the doorbell that illuminates the scene just enough to keep the doorbell in color/day mode.
• Allow the doorbell to be wipeable in Android app (or even Mac and Windows). With all other cameras, I can left or right wipe to change to another camera, but for the doorbell I have to go to the overview and explicitly select it.
• The notification sound should also be a constant "ringing", not just a simple notification for easier identification of a doorbell action.
• In the Windows app I get the notification, freely interpreted: "no playback for this type of camera available". But then i works anyway, it is just annoying.

So far some input from my side too...

OK guys, speed up! Whole wiring is already in place, just waiting to hit the "purchase" b**ton

Current doorbell malfunctioned again today, so it is really getting a hot topic here .

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318 Well whats the little Siren Symbol then? The third one in scene mode?
First is Push, second Record, third siren, 4th email?
https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026049414-How-to-Set-the-Scene-Mode-for-Your-Cameras

Just curious without having checked by myself, because intuitively it means for me disable/enable siren...

@u-p_490775914938525 das ist wohl kein Problem sondern ein Feature. Du vergleichst da zwei verschiedene Kameras. Deine Argus hat PIR Sensor, die E1 nicht. Die kann ohne dauerhaft angeschaltete IR Lichter schlecht was in der Nacht erkennen um Alarm auslösen zu können.

Veeeeeery nice . A small chance to get it even earlier. So application form sent

@joseph_1979 For 510A and E1 Outdoor also Playback works perfectly with this..The doorbell reacts a bit weird. I had no visible boxes on recorded data, though they were recorded as person movement. On the other hand in live view I see a box that's flickering but without triggering a recording.
Nevertheless, a nice feature, for beta.

@ic24338868_704445506318702 no definitely also persons.

Niiiccceeeee So this works directly on the app, but reflects HOW the camera would sense person or vehicle motion?

@joseph_1979 Joseph, nobody said something like that.... I just wanted to inform you that support was able to solve the problem and for all that are in need right NOW there could be a solution. It might also be implemented in the next regular firmware, but who knows that?
Better this way than waiting again for month until there MIGHT be a regular update that possibly includes this feature.
So I am pro customization as long as it helps to fulfill the most desperate needs of the customer right now.

Good news, Support provided a modified firmware and now my doorbell can switch in the night to black/white.

@malso_694300156440820 bringt bei der ptz genau gar nichts wenn sie bewegt wird. Ist leider nicht so "intelligent"

@user_679856370167979_679856370167979 In which direction did you change the threshold? Dark or bright side of the lever? Allthough I tried both, still no result

@user_679856370167979_679856370167979 same issue here. Have you tried setting the new threshold level under display settings? I'm curious if it works for you. It made no difference for me unfortunately

@reolink-fiona that is great! But can someone test the day/night threshold settings? Does it make a difference? I tried it but still no switching to black white as street lamp brightens the scene too much.

@reolink-fiona That is all very nice that you ask for opinion, but you forgot the most important opinion of the users: bring back the stretch view! At least an option to toggle it on or off. Why was that abandoned anyway?
