Hi everyone, the webhook has been in our evaluation process now. But it may need some time to complete. Thank you for all your feedback. If there is any news, I will let you know.

 Hi all,

Thank you all for being so supportive of our doorbell camera. Your voices and thoughts are valuable to us. We have collected much feedback from you since the doorbell was released, and we have made improvements such as new features and changes in this firmware. Find out if there is one you want.

Download the firmware via https://bit.ly/3K6BGc0.

What's New：

1. Added new Google Home/Alexa support features!! - Hooray!
More features are supported in the Google Home/Alexa. Play your doorbell in the smart home now!

What supported:
Google Home:
Live view
Wake up by voice(on schedule)
Notification(on schedule): MD/Person/Visitor notification

Alexa(Beta):
Live view Two-way audio
Wake up by voice
Notification(on schedule): MD/Person/Visitor notification

*On schedule means that the features will be available after the Cloud server update.

2. ONVIF with two-way audio support using RTSP
Many users ask for this and we have heard it. Try to use the two-way audio on third-party software with this new firmware.

3. Add Doorbell B**ton Sound: Does the doorbell ringing sound too loud when pressing the doorbell? Here is an option for you to mute. (App 4.37)


4. Added Status LED setting under Light: you can turn off the doorbell’s status light at night. (App 4.37)


5. Added the Iframe multiplier selection(GOP multiplier selection)
The setting is to adapt to the settings of third-party software like Blue Iris. We suggest using the default setting. You can adjust the interframe space settings if the picture quality needs improvement.

What is GOP? A GOP is a group of consecutive pictures. A GOP(Group of pictures) is the distance between two iframes, measured in the number of frames or the amount of time between iframes. For example, if an iframe is inserted every 1 second into a video at 30 frames, the GOP length is 30 frames or 1 second.

How to set interframe space? So in our Client, interframe space sets the number of frames between two iframes. You can choose multiple frames for both clear and fluent modes. 1X means one multiple of the frame rate you set. 2X means two multiples of the frames. For example, if you set 25 FPS and 2X, the distance between two iframes will be 50 frames.

6. Modified frame rate feature
Setting->Stream->Frame Rate
We have modified the Auto frame rate mode feature to adapt to the complicated night environment.

Auto now means the gradual frame rate drop, where the frame rate will be changed based on the brightness instead of a direct drop. This setting will guarantee the clarity of the video first.
Constant means the fixed frame rate, which can guarantee the smoothness of the video first.


7. Added Black & White and Color switching Threshold in the advanced setting under Display.
You will be able to adjust the range of CDS value.


8. Work with IOT devices. (Configure via Reolink App only) 

@t-maciek_382830390239374 Thank you. For the MQTT support, I have told the product team about this to have further evaluation.

Our engineering is reviewing the feasibility of implementing this idea. Thank you sincerely for sharing your thoughts

Testing the Beta Doorbell...

Hi all,

TrackMix PoE/WiFi firmware is available on the download center now. We have added the tracking schedule & tracking range in the firmware to avoid the blocking of the wall and respect privacy.

Besides the TrackMix series, these two functions will be available for RLC-823A/RLC-523WA/E1-Outdoor with the future firmware.
Only APP/Web have these settings now. The 8.8.4 desktop Client will add these settings. Stay tuned!

Download the firmware via http://bit.ly/3guiZUF.
You need to download the APP v4.34 to use the new features. Download the new APP via the Google play store/Apple APP Store.
Know more about the update in this post, https://community.reolink.com/topic/4522/app-v4-34-update-add-tracking-range-fix-sensitivity-bug.

Changelog:

1. Added the auto-tracking schedule. (Only for APP/Web.)
Web/APP: Alarm settings->Tracking schedule



2. Added auto-tracking horizontal range. (Only for APP/Web.)
Web/APP: Alarm settings->Tracking horizontal range
Tracking range means that you can set up the left/right limit to define the range of the auto-tracking. We will add the display of the left/right position when adjusting the position in the future update.


3. Added the time settings to stop tracking and returning to the monitor point after the object stops and disappears. (Only for APP/Web)
Web/APP: Alarm settings->Time to stop tracking


4. Added fixed frame rate and monitor point settings on the Web Client.
-If you choose Fixed Frame Rate(fluency first), the frames will be fixed and not be automatically adjusted for night vision.
-If you choose Auto Frame Rate(clarity first), the frames will be automatically adjusted for night vision to guarantee the image quality in dark.

5. Added preview images in Preset point. (PTZ)

6. Optimized the auto-tracking function.

@t-maciek_382830390239374 This is on our schedule. But it is still under development now. Don't worry! I will tell you when it comes.

@maxm The MAC version will be available in August.

@big_ted 12MP can be better for some details. I believe it will be a different experience.

Hi, Reolinkers!

As security becomes increasingly important, high-resolution security cameras have become essential tools. At Reolink, we understand the significance of capturing every detail, which is why we offer cameras with higher resolutions, such as 12MP PoE, 4K WiFi, and 4K battery cameras. We are committed to constant innovation and pushing the boundaries of resolution, as we believe details matter for security and an exceptional user experience.

What can a High-resolution camera do for you?
Let's paint a picture. Have you ever encountered a situation where you need to review surveillance footage, only to find that when you attempt to digitally zoom in on a person's face or a vehicle's license plate to gather vital information, the image becomes an indistinguishable blur of pixels?

However, this scenario could have played out differently if the cameras were equipped with high-resolution technology. High-resolution cameras can capture more details and information, ensuring that the image remains clear and sharp even when you digitally zoom in.

Now, upgrade your security with Reolink's high-resolution cameras and experience ultimate clarity.

Invest in Reolink's high-resolution cameras and elevate your security to a new level. Because when it comes to your safety and peace of mind, details make all the difference.

Hi all,

The new APP v4.38 has been released.

This version mainly optimizes Time Lapse functions and some UI. You could download the new APP via the Google play store/Apple APP Store.

Note: The APP adopts a grayscale release strategy so that the update time will differ in different regions. Simply meaning that it takes some time to arrive in your app store.

Android APP Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bY3DwXdl7BgD6MyA1qbx4BcPQk1pCncz/view?usp=sharing

What's new:

1. Enhanced time-lapse feature (Android)
●Improved overall performance and stability of time-lapse photography on Android.

2. UI Optimization：
●Added a new light mode to the preview page and made UI adjustments.


●Modified the UI for PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) controls.


●Added a more intuitive network status icon to the device info display. To better differentiate network connections.
