Reporting in as it may help others. Reolink sent me a link for a firmware update not yet available on their website. I applied it to both cameras and now all is fine. So anyone else having this problem I suggest dropping Reolink support for the update.

In conclusion, unlike other companies I could mention, the support from Reolink has been both prompt and helpful so 5 stars to them.

Thank you for responding. There were no additional settings under the 'Stream' area mode. However Reolink have sent me a firmware update which is not yet available on their website. I now have an additional setting - Frame Rate Mode which I have set to Constant.

Will see how it goes when darkness falls.

PS - just noticed my reply is in bold caps - have tried to edit but still bold caps. Looks rude which it's certainly not.

Attached a couple of screenshots showing the drop in FPS and Bit Rate - one during daytime and one during night.

Hi all - I have recently purchased 2 x Reolink RLC-510WA cameras. Both set via wifi to motion record to a Synology NAS - so far so good. The problem is the 25 FPS and Bit Rate 4096 instantly drop to approx 8-10 FPS and Bit Rate to approx 1500 when they go into IR mode at night. I have two other cameras from another manufacturer and they hold both the FPS and Bit Rate 24/7.

All the Ports are open - RMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, ONVIF. Under the Camera Stream Settings I do not have the option to 'fix' the Bit Rate.

So any suggestions welcome as at the moment the cameras will need to be returned. Thanks for reading.
