Apologies for the repost, but as I can’t find any option to do this it really is a feature request feather than a discussion point.I have two of these devices and so far the experience has been excellent. Car and person detection works well and the 180 degree coverage is high definition and eminently useable. There is one problem I find. We replaced two aging X10 floodlights with the Reolink Duo floodlights in areas where we regularly need lighting at night (going back and forth to the garage for example). The floodlights are activated by the camera detecting movement - which works well, but if that movement ceases then the lights go out immediately. That’s fine for the security functions - if a thief leaves the area there is no need to have the floodlights remain on, but for area lighting its often helpful if the lights can remain on for a period after movement has ceased to illuminate the area.This is recognised as a useful function in the Reolink WiFi Floodlights - they can be set to stay on for many minutes after movement has stopped and are very functional.Has anyone found a way of extending the period that the Duo Floodlights stay on?If there is no way of doing this it would be a really useful capability to add. Im not sure if this could be implemented in firmware but if it could my guess is that lots of people would find it useful.

I have just purchased a Reolink Duo Floodlight WiFi and am setting it up with QNAP's QVR Pro application. I have been trying to set it up using an ONVIF - S protocol. This works for video streaming - even across subnets, but when I try and configure this camera's events (alerts) the tab disapears - as it the communication of camera events (such as PIR activation, person and vehicle detection etc) is not present. So it seems that the only way I can record motion using this camera with QVR Pro is to use QVR's own motion detection - which seems to need the stream to be active - so its all a bit of a circular problem.What I would like to do is use various events from the camera - as above, to triger actions in QVR Pro. This specific camera does not seem to be listed in the software.Can someone tell me if events should be received by QVR Pro from this camera? Are there existing camera profiles that I could use to make it work?Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!
