Hi. Are there any plans to list the detection notification events in the app?

When I have several detections I often have several notifications on my phone, but going to the app I have no possibility to see the actual time of any other detections. Instead I would need to scroll through detection recordings.

This seems like a missing feature of the application compared to other systems.

Are PoE pre-orders still planned to be shipped by October 17th?

I am still observing this issue daily. Has there ever been any progress by Reolink to eliminate these false detections?

I purchased the E1 Pro last week having been satisfied with other Reolink cameras in my home setup. I have been disappointed by now with the E1 Pro microphone, the volume picked up by the camera microphone is very low and tinny compared to other similar cameras I have used. I'd this 'normwl' or is my device defective?

My primary use case choosing Reolink cameras is the integration with Google Assistant and display on the Google Nest Hub. This works for me with both my RLC-520A and E1 Pro, but I find the video stream to be inconsistent, often buffering or deactivating after a short time (10 minutes). It's important for my use case to have the camera stream uninterrupted for several hours continuously.

Is there any optimisation I could do, for example to change the resolution / frame rate sent to the Google Nest Hub to reduce the bandwidth utilisation? I don't see any settings related to this 'Cloud' stream. What are the options to optimise here?

I've recently purchased the RLC-520a as an upgrade from my Amcrest camera. I've been playing around with the settings to find the right fit for my needs.

What I would like to have is the camera recoding continuously (5-minute clips), and for any detection alarm to be segmented into a shorter clip (30-45 seconds). The app filtering of detection events is ideal to work though this, to focus on the actual detection, but also have countinus recorded data available to seek if needed. This could mean storage of a series of clips of
e.g. 5:00 | 5:00 | 3:45* | 0:45** | 5:00 | 5:00
* Detection occured
** Detection clip (15s-pre + 30s-post)

If I enable alarm recording only, I do have the shorter detection clips I'm looking for, but obviously missing the continuous recording. This is my best option for now to see exactly what's happened, but not ideal.

If I enable timer recording and alarm recording, I do have the clips marked with detection, but the clips are all full 5-minute clips and it is difficult to determine the detection trigger event.

I could also have the SD card recording the detection clips, and timer recording going to an FTP, but this is not convenient to access the recording while I'm outside of the home.

Does anyone else have a similar need or solution, or is there some operation setting I have missed?
