I set up frigate with a couple Reolink cams. When I went to create a separate user account for frigate, I found that the cameras wouldn't let me create new user accounts. Instead they wanted me to run through a sharing workflow using a QR code and some kind of song and dance.

It turns out recent versions of the Reolink firmware and apps have been removing the user management functionality, which seems like an odd thing to do.

However, I was able to work around this by using the Reolink API on the cameras. Something like this did the trick for me:

> virtualenv .
> source bin/activate
> pip install reolinkapi
> python3
>>> from reolinkapi import Camera
>>> c = Camera('<ip address>', password='<admin_password')
>>> c.login()
>>> c.add_user('<frigate_username>', '<frigate_password>')

I'm moving from North America to Europe this year, and I like my current setup with an aging ECM Giotto and the DF64V, so I'd like to bring both with me and convert them. I have a handle on converting the ~2005 ECM Giotto espresso machine, but it's hard to find info about converting the DF64V. DF64Coffee do sell a 220V control circuit PCB, but I wonder if e.g. the motor is different depending on the voltage the grinder is built for.

Has anyone here done this?

If not, is there anyone in 220V land that has photos of the motor, or would be willing to shoot some?

I just bought one of these to cover the back yard. I'm using a Unifi Lite 8 Poe to power it. This works fine over my (short) Cat6 patch cables. When I try to run it through the Cat5e house wiring or a 9m Cat5e patch it refuses to initialize. In the switch status display I see PoE initializing, and it reports 8-10W draw, but I never see a single packet from it.

I get full 1Gbps through both the house wiring and the patch cable, so I doubt it's bad cabling or termination. I'm kind of stumped, it's my understanding that Cat5e should be able to support PoE for 100m and the house run I'm testing over is maybe 15m at most.

I wonder if the camera is a dud somehow?
