@joseph_1979 that means there is no point in having wishlist on this forum then

@joseph_1979 dev team does not read the forum/wishlist?

@joseph_1979 just to be super-clear, client (android for example) should be just displaying camera's network stats and when generating network load, this also should be done solely between camera and reolink server (or nvr). client just displays the result. no proprietary code or service needs to be utilized, just use something like iperf3 (free, bsd license). implement iperf3 server into reolink website and reolink nvr, implement iperf3 client into camera, introduce anti-abuse policy and management controls (user interface to client) and that's it. i'm aware i made it sound simple.

I had a similar "idea" and it was not resolved. Till this date I use privacy mask. I have to. My cameras monitor remote area that is connected via 5G internet and cameras operate without NVR. As a backup I use FTP. So it's pointless to upload footage or friendly activity nor is to receive any notifications (and 2 minutes is insufficient). So each time I receive a notification I check camera, If I recognize friendlies, i set up privacy mask and later remove the privacy mask. This way I don't receive any false alarms, I save space on FTP server and also save network bandwidth. Simple API would easily help me deal with this. I could then code and app or a website that would trigger privacy mask on/off or as you say arm/disarm.
I'm still waiting for this functionality.

I am missing a set of features that would help admins.

• instead of showing just transmitting speed (for example android client), show also ping or packet loss (or other connection problems like insufficient bandwidth)
• ability to run a quick network check - speedtest to nvr or reolink server. I currently have some network problems when cameras (without nvr) operate on high bitrate (8mbps) and are transmitting signal over 5G network. this would help me resolve the issue and find the root cause.
• ability to run a quick read/write test of the sd card to know if the speeds are sufficient.

@user_816371378602150_816371378602150 that's what i thought. this could be a valuable feature.

Hello. Does Reolink NVR somehow support UPS? I mean, does it know, it is power via UPS (in a way notebook knows it has s battery inserted and at the same time it is on power adapter)?
What I'm concerned about in this question is the fact, that in my area, there is a power outage once in a while. In such case, an NVR with UPS could tell the connected PoE cameras to turn on color nightvision (if capable). Is such technology present?

@reolinkshayla I have RLC-842A and RLC-542WA cameras and both support smart detection, yet I don't see the Motion Mark available in my updated app. Any suggestions why?

@p0zeta20_671917366853819 tried, does not work. still loads way too long...

I am using windows 10 with the latest client to connect to my PoE cameras (which are in a remote location). Camera work fine - I can tell by using android reolink app (via wifi, so phone and computer use same internet connection) which works just fine. But windows client has some kind of problems. It takes way too long to establish connection. Sometimes it even says it the camera is disconnected, but then it finally loads image and camera can be operated. I tried to revert the app to previous version but this did not help. I have not made changes to windows system and every software works just fine and internet is fast enough (80/25 mbit/s connection). Anyway, this behavior started to occur just few weeks ago, maybe late August / early September. Does anyone else have these connection problems? Previously the camera connection was instant upon opening the windows client, now it takes maybe 10-15 seconds.

I wish there was an indication in the upper right corner that would tell how many clients are connected to the camera and watching the stream. We already have a motion icons showing the corner, I would like to see another one - either that someone else than me is watching the stream or a number telling me the number of clients connected (maybe showing 2 and more).

@md I totally forgot about scenes Thanks, I'll try it.

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318 Thanks! I didn't realize that since I was looking at desktop version when I wrote that wish. No such Test button is present on desktop version, which is unfortunate.

This is my problem too. I sometimes get, what i call friendly activity, in the monitored area. Typically family and friends...
I currently solve this by drawing a privacy mask rectangle in the area - the reason is that not only camera records Person activities, but it also uploads it to the ftp server. So by drawing a privacy mask I reduce a number of recordings on sd card and network data for upload. It also has other benefits too - sd card is not overwriting older data (so I can "see" more than just a few days history) and also it gives the friendly people their privacy. On the other hand I deal with same problem - I sometimes forget to remove privacy mask.
If Reolink would make privacy mask with timer (5 min, 20 min, 60min, 6hrs, infinity, etc...) that would solve my problems. Not in a fancy way, but it would help.

I wish you would add test button to verify push notification is working correctly. It is useful for testing the phone's setup and overall push notification mechanism.

@reolink-fiona Is there a chance of getting firmware update for RLC-542WA? Pet detection would be useful.

@user_635300470997033_635300470997033 this happened to me so many times. When I obtained the cameras at first, I was just testing them. For example I've pointed them at a wall or at a closed door. And out of nowhere a car was detected. Only once was this resolved - in the corner of the image was a fridge with a car on a magnet/sticker. It was hilarious - distance between the camera and fridge was 2 meters and the magnet/sticker was approx 8x4cm.

For clarification, I use two cameras RLC-842A and RLC-542WA. I use motion based recording, and notifications only for person. The 542WA does not have pet detection, so I have to record all motions. Bugs and spiders usually don't bother me, but wind and rain does. The cameras aren't that smart unfortunately (and don't have AI).
Delay - I use for person since in the past I got false alarm in the notifications.
Object size - angle and distance don't allow me to setup a minimum object size since I want to detect also pets and person (also in distance).
Like I said in the first post, glaring line could be filtered in future sw update...

I wish you could add detection of rain drops and wind-based movements so these events can be filtered out. Many of us have this problem, if its either rain drops passing by in front of lens or a tree branch that suddenly moves a little. All could be filtered out IMHO. A thin glaring line heading from top to the bottom, sometimes with an angle or a tree branch that moves within a defined limits. Hope you figure out these problems and make our surveillances better.

I wish you release firmware update for RLC-542WA enabling pet detection. When can we expect this kind of update?
