So I've been fiddling with the settings but I've yet to get my Wifi Plugin doorbell to record to SD card in 'clear' full resolution.. Everything saved to SD card is fluent'' quality.. Technically I want it clear' on motion detection recording but... What am I missing? I've left it 'full /clear' when exiting the client/app as well but.,.. only 'fluent' on SD card? Suggestions, what am I missing?

New Reolink user/customer... In-case it helps anyone else..
I downloaded latest Client for Windows and was getting audio from added camera but no video; rebooted; enabled disabled hardware acceleration; still nothing... Found this link looking for old versions:
https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012466173-All-Reolink-Client-Versions/

Uninstalled latest and installed Version: 8.8.5 and I get video/audio etc now.. Argus 3E...
Still I would like to use latest version, I presume there's other optimizations/features I'll be missing(2 way audio I donno, not tried yet).

Any tips to be sure "Reolink" servers/Cloud never access/relay the camera data, local and remote FTP access only? No cloud can be trusted.

Edit: I just unplugged my cable modem(keeping wifi router/lan up) and the Client 8.8.5 would not connect to the camera, but the Android app could... hmmm.. Will the latest Client function without internet connection?

<sub>Hi, new to Reolink; planning on giving it a 'good try' ordering a few cameras shortly;( Argus 3e's, Battery doorbell, Altas PT Ultra ). The selling point for me is FTP, Wifi, battery+SP. Current cameras are Panasonic that I connect to directly .. Which raises the question..
Reolink is known for giving you control locally over your data/video, but how is video handled when remote? Are you able to connect directly to the remote camera(router/ports) or is it all relayed through 'cloud'(reolink servers)? I'm interested in zero data being handled by a middle-man server. What happens when your viewing 5+ live views simultaneously?

Any comments on accessibility to cameras when on super-slow internet connection?</sub>
