Thank you Cynthia for your reply to my question.
It's much appreciated.

If you can ever be in a position to accept feedback which finds it's way back to the devs.
It would be nice if there was the option to make LOW a higher quality.

When playing back recordings on your phone, High/Clear can be a struggle and unreliable to play back.
However Low is such a massive step down in quality for playback.

It would be nice to see something in-between.
Like you can have balanced for live viewing. Perhaps something like Balanced quality for mobile playback

A week or so ago, I was using a couple of Reolink 5mp camera's with just SD cards installed.
I did not have a NVR.

It was lovely to see, in the Reolink app on my Android phone, the small thumbnail icons for playing back the alerts, had tiny images showing you what caused the alert. A car, A person, or something.

Now having upgraded to a full system with NVR and the 4K Camera's you do not get these small thumbnail images anymore. Just a black tile with a white shape. So you need to actually play the alert footage to see it.

Can this feature be added please, as it seems I've got a better system, but I lost this feature in the process.

In Summary. Actual thumbnail images for the alert playback icons.

Wow, this is exactly the same question I just posted after buying my 1st Reolink indoor camera.
Like yourself, I wish to feel private and secure and not have the Camera be on whilst I am home in the same room.

Another camera brand I bought a few weeks earlier, has power controls on it's main page, and I just assumed it would be the same for all cams from different makers, as I would imagine most people, if they are home, perhaps in their living room watching TV in the evening, don't wish to feel the camera is still on recording them all the time.

Very important for indoor camera's

Additionally (if anyone from Reolink reads this) it would be great to also have the option of camera's turning on/off based on your location.
So when you leave home the indoor cameras turn on, and when you come home they turn off.

Just yesterday I purchased my 1st ever Reolink Camera. An E1 Zoom, so I'm still finding my way around the app, and how it works.
I have a few initial "issues" I'd like to see improved upon, but leaving those aside for a moment, I have a very simple and basic question.

With some other brand indoor WiFi Camera's, in their app is like a power button for each camera.
You press this button, the Camera's Status light goes off, as do the IR lights, as the camera is now off (to whatever extent off it)
Which gives me great peace of mind in the evening that cameras are not watching indoors when we are home.

However, in the Reolink App for my new E1 Zoom I can't find any simple off button.
There is just, what looks like a Play/Pause button, but if I press pause, the Camera Status light is still on, and the IR lights still go on and off depending on the room darkness.

As it's for indoors, there must be some "power button" in the app I can't find yet?

Can someone help please as I'm not really comfortable with this camera still being so active when I wish privacy at home.

Thank you
