Sorry you are having false alarm issues with the Argus 3 cams. I have two of them. I also have two of the new 4K 810A cams with person vehicle detection. One covers my driveway, the other by my front door. They work good and the AI has helped reduce false alerts a lot. They don't trigger with blowing leaves or shadows. It's winter where I live and heavy snow still sets off alerts so I turn the sensitivity down when it snows. I don't know about spiders and flying insects yet, I'll wait til Spring for that. I think all camera brands may struggle in your situation with light reflecting off of water. Most cameras have sensor ranges of about 20-30 feet for humans and about 50' for vehicles. I suggest you point the cameras away from the water/trees and toward your building doorways? I'm jealous that you have water/palm tree views! I also have a Blink camera by my front door. It has street view and constantly sent notifications every time a car drove by or people walked on the sidewalk. I wanted the sensitivity high to catch movement asap by the door. So I put a piece of tape on the top half of the motion sensor to block out the street (Blink's motion zones do not work). Now it still has has street view but I do not get notified with cars and pedestrians. I know it's frustrating to buy cameras only to have them outdated in about a year. Technology changes fast. Companies put out new product models almost every year, TVs, computers, cell phones, etc. Compe[censored]ion wise, Reolink has to put out new models regularly or they will get behind the curve with new features like person human detection, perimeter alters, higher MP, auto tracking, etc. I like the Reolink brand. Their cameras are a good value for the money. I've had good customer service with them.
I'm excited about the new Reolink 811A and E1 Outdoor cameras coming soon that are in trials! Lots of features users want. Will these be available by early summer in the USA? I will definitely buy a couple of these.
Does Reolink have any future plans for a doorbell camera or PTZ camera with built in mic and at least 8x optical zoom?
I got a stronger bracket on Amazon that works for my Argus PT. Several Amazon sellers have them in black or white and different lengths. Be sure they are long enough and the correct thread.Amazon-brackets.png
I did not know there was a Scene mode in the app. I've had Reolink cameras less than two months and obviously I'm still learning. Thank you Cynthia for telling me. I'll do some setting up with it.
Hello,I have an Argus 3, Argus PT, E1 Pro. I like them, they are working fine. I just ordered two RLC-810A and one RLC-510A that I will run through a POE switch using SD cards. I might buy an NVR in the future. When I mow the yard or the grand kids are at my house playing, I turn off the camera recording setting and push notification on the Argus 3, Argus PT so I don't get a lot of unwanted recordings or alerts. When I get my POE cameras I assume I'll have to do the same with each camera, turn the settings off/on with each camera, or maybe turn off the POE switch so they will all be off line? Is there, or I wish there was, an entire system on/off [censored]on in the phone app so I could easily turn on/off all cameras with one [censored]on? With an NVR you can shut down the whole system temporarily. My Blink cameras app has this whole system on/off [censored]on and it is very convenient.
Thank you Cynthia, that's good to know.
I saw on Amazon some 4K 810A cameras with human vehicle detection are available. I ordered one to try it out.
Same 810A cameras go with with NVR, the name 810B4-A is for the system.
I saw the new 4K 810A cameras on Amazon with human vehicle detection. The NVR system has 810B4-A, I don't know if there's any difference. On YouTube channel securitybros, he has a review of the 810A.Screenshot_2020-11-20-Amazon-com-Reolink-4K-Outdoor-Security-Camera.jpgScreenshot_2020-11-20-Amazon-com-Reolink-8CH-4K-Security-Camera-System.jpg
I'd rather have Reolink take their time and get the new camera releases right. In 2019 Arlo released their new Ultra 4K. It was a disaster. The cameras had so many problems Alro withdrew them from the market for several months. I am very glad Reolink is getting AI human detection as other brands. Beta versions from other companies were not that good until updated firmware was released. I understand Reolink customers want this feature soon to reduce false alerts. I plan on buying. But I don't think Reolink wants unhappy customers if their AI doesn't work well out of the box.
The model number is MG-1823 but it looks like Amazon changed models of their Amazon Basics mouse, so who knows which/if a certain model number will work.
I looked again at digiblurDIY video about the Amazon mouse he says works on Reolink NVR. Here is the link he provided:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EJH6Z4?tag=digiblur-20
digiblurDIY does not say in the video which mice he tried, but there's supposed to be a link on his page that shows the Amazon model that worked. It's about 5:45 minutes into the video he talks about it. You could post a comment on YouTube for his video and ask him more about it. Here's a link to the video. I'm planning to buy the 4K Reolink system with human vehicle detection when it becomes available. I want to use a wireless mouse due to where I'm going to install it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQw_kC9_cNI
Yes, there's a YouTube channel digiblurDIY who tried several wireless mouse brands. He says an Amazon basics wireless mouse works on his Reolink NVR.
I have an Argus PT. I really like it. I thought about buying the RLC 423. It was released over three years ago. I don't think it has a built in mic and is just 4x zoom. 4x zoom isn't a lot. I hope the next Reolink PTZ will have built in mic and at least 10x optical zoom. That would be cool.
Hi Cynthia,Reolink programmers updated the app and the On/Off [censored]ons work good again. Thank you for responding to my post and thank the programmers for fixing the bug in just a few days.
Sorry I typed the wrong old version its 4.24.1.4. Again, why doesn't this forum allow users to edit their posts for say, 24 hours so they can correct mistakes? Once logged off the post seems to be locked forever. I am on numerous other forums and they let you edit posts for at least 24 hours, no matter how many times the user logs on/off. In both the app and my phone I can't find where I can block Reolink from updating the app to the flawed new version.
Above I mean 4.24.2.5 and 4.24.2.4. Wish this site allowed users to edit posts after they log off then log back in. Reolink did not ask permission to update the app, they did it overnight so I could not say no to the update.
Well Cynthia, what I stated in my last post happened. Overnight Reolink updated my app from 4.24.1.4 back to 4.24.1.5. I woke up and the On/Off camera record [censored]ons do not work again! I assume you should know Reolink updates app versions. Why would you tell me to use an older version when in less than 24 hours it's gone? How long did you think I'd have the old version before Reolink took it away? Total waste of my time. Please tell your engineers to fix the app before you upset more users. I'll count how many hours/days it takes Reolink to fix this.
