Now it seems to be working. Hmm. Weird.

It seems to stop recording to HD at midnight. There are no files from the new day recorded. Lots of GB of space on the drive. The drive is on the local computer.

When I restart the client it seems to record to HD as settings are set. But then half a day later no more recordings.
I'm assuming the playback feature on the client is only playing from the camera's memory cards? I'm guess this is the case as I have no videos recorded from my RLC-423 - because it doesn't have a memory card.
This isn't good. Some cameras have spiders on them so in 1-2 days the memory card is full and it deletes old videos. I can't have that, I need videos archived on HD for at least a month!!
I currently have 13 cameras. It was a hassle going to new client lost all settings, couldn't remember a few passwords on the cameras and some are very high up it's not possible to push the reset button.
What's going on with this new client?

Not sure what happened to my system. The previous windows client (I'm on win7) crashed quite a bit. Lucky to have it work for a few days. Generally when I want to see a recording the client had crashed, out of luck.
So today I go to check it, can't load the client (reolink is already running!) that's great but client window won't come up. I go into task manager. There is NO WAY to end the task. I tried everything including a special windows task manager I downloaded from Microsoft. So I download the new latest client.
Ok... so this looks completely different. All my settings are gone. I had to uninstall the older client software. Of course some of my camera passwords are different than the rest.... like I have time to rent a man lift and go up 2 storeys and press the reset button... man oh man. What a pain.
Luckily my iPhone client allowed me to create new admin/user accounts.

What I don't like (and I haven't tried playback yet which never worked on prev versions) the camera view options seem more limited, can't have larger windows for important cameras, etc. Kind of annoying. I'm still getting to know this version but where are the detailed recording settings? It seems there's only a general choice and 5mins seems too long uses too much HD space.

So far not impressed. Wasted 2 hours on this "update".
