Hello,

I have been using Reolink e320 camera (https://reolink.com/product/e-series-e320/) for about half a year. No NVR etc. because it doesnt even support it. I dont use Reolink Cloud. Only SD card inside my camera.

It have been working fine most of the times. I have turned off most "heavy" functions - quality and fps almost the lowest. Not recording non stop, only in selected time windows and only if movement detected.

Connected with WiFi but pretty close to the router (closer than my TV for example). I know how networks work, it is not dhcp issue.

THE PROBLEM:

once in a while (sometimes two months, sometimes 2 days apart) camera disconnects completly - like its turned off. I cant connect to it outside of home ot from inside home. It is not visible in my router connected devices list, but dhcp lease is still active (in fact the ip is reserved for this camera). Sometimes when i come back home i just have ti plug it out and plug it back in afer few seconds and it starts working again, but once i had to do full factory reset to make it finally connect again...

I dont remember the details of previous disconnects but today it happend exactly the moment i clicked on one of my PTZ saved points. Till now it is dead and i will be home in few hours to be able to reset it...

i know it is a cheap one but why the hell give this camera functions and stream quality it cant handle properly?

Have anyone experienced similiar problems?

Hey, I recently moved from free Pangolin Cloud to selfhosted Pangolin on my VPS. I have exactly same public resources setup as i had before. Newt site is also installed exactly the same way as it was when i was using Pangolin Cloud - in an LXC container as systemd service inside my Proxmox home server. My home is behind cgnat without ipv6 but it has not been an issue with Pangolin Cloud. My VPS is both ipv4 and v6 capable. Network speed and latency are flawless on both VPS and home server. Resources "work" in a way that they are loading eventually but it takes from 10 to about 60 seconds... Exposed services arent a problem - they work fast when i connect to them using local network or tailscale vpn. So long story short - exactly same setup worked great on Pangolin Cloud but sucks on my VPS. Any ideas why? VPS's CPU and memory are fine during resource loading.

P. S. Pangolin dashboard itself loads super fast, in less than a second. Only the resources are slow.
