Hello. It would be great if there was a possibility to silence the notifications for a period of time. For example - if I get push notification that camera has detected motion and the activity in the area is friendly and expected to last some time, I would like to suspend notifications for that particular camera (or set of cameras) for a certain period of time. After selected time (from a predefined array of times), all notifications would resume to normal. Suspend notifications for camera 1,2,3 for 15,30,60,120 minutes... etc.

This could be also implemented in form of a scene, where upon selecting scene a time period for that scene would be applied. This way, users wouldn't have to worry about forgetting dis/arming camera. So if I select a scene named "no alerts" with time 60 minutes, that would revert to previous (or default or user defined) scene.

Hello. I've seen this in many products and services - ability to define custom text. Can Reolink do something similar?
The custom text could be applied in both push and email notifications (separately configured of course but with same principles). This would benefit even non-english speaking users that could define custom text + variables (system variables like camera name, date, time, etc). Everyone could define the text as they please.

Hi, I've recently obtained RLC-542WA (running latest firmware).
For now, I'm just testing it in interior. Camera is watching main entrance and is sitting on a bench approx 2m from the door. About 2/5 of the picture has been marked for privacy (whole left portion of the picture).
If I just swing by, right in front of the lens, nothing happens, no alert. Even in max sensitivity. If I stay in the picture for a moment or if I gain a bit distance (stand by the door), alert is finally triggered. I played a little with sensitivity, setting it down to medium (24). I entered the interior through the door and I was shocked no alerts were triggered. Mind the fact the door is 2m away, basically covering half of the remaining picture so opening the door and me entering the premises was quite a frame change.
On another note, I get false alarms all the time. From another room there is light that affects the camera's decision the turn IR on/off. Whenever IR is on/off the picture is changed (technically yes, but actually no). So I get pointless false alarms and zero actual alarms.
I just ditched 26€ consumer grade camera (Tapo C110) with basic functionality that had zero false alarms (even with switching IR LED on/off) and awesome accuracy on real motion.
Regarding IR LEDs I made a post so hopefully that will be addressed in that thread.
Anyone same problems? I don't know how to mitigate problem of max sensitivity not detecting my 0,5s movement in front of the camera.

Currently, my RLC-542WA (and probably other cameras), has 3 types of motions that can be set to detect. Any motion, Person and Vehicle. I suggest adding sub category to Any motion - checkbox with name "Include/Exclude technical alerts". That would include

• IR LED turn on/off
• PTZ actions
• Change in settings (brightness, privacy zones, detection areas, etc.)

For example this would mean, after I zoom, camera disables generating alerts at the beginning of action (zoom start) and enables generating alerts from new base image (after zoom stop & autofocus adjust stop).

Hello. How was this issue resolved? The feature user is suggesting is pretty cool, I also would like to see it in my RLC-542WA.

Hi there, I was wondering if there could be a product made to match my needs. I currently live in a flat and the building has no garages. I park my car outside approx 200m away, clearly visible from window. I would like to have a camera with great zoom that could monitor my car parking space. The variability in zoom or having a motorized zoom is not a requirement if zoom is adjustable at least manually. Purpose is to monitor possible malicious activity or just to see if there aren't parking cars that are not allowed to.

Hello. This idea is interesting. Can I add some suggestions? Maybe this could be a part of something bigger, like a "security" tab/page. It could contain access control based on IPs or subnets, maybe automatic logoff time settings, options of loggins IP addresses - how many, send login/logoff notifications via email or push or upload to ftp as a file, camera settings modification alerts (basically audit log), etc...

Hi, I'm new here and this thread caught my eye. Agree, this feature would be useful. I've seen such a functionality in a freeware windows based camera software intended for dyi security projects (yawcam). Seems to me it highlights delta pixels from two sequential frames. Maybe something similar could be done here? In just some kind of "debug" mode I guess.
