r/reolinkcam

ran the numbers on my two reolinks after filtering everything for about 3 months.

20,829 motion events total across both cameras.

front door: person 2,256 · animal 676 · vehicle 757 · nothing 7,112

back door: person 721 · animal 646 · vehicle 0 · nothing 8,661

so out of ~20,800 events, around 5,050 actually contained something worth knowing about.

the other 76% was wind, shadows, light changes, insects, the usual.

alarm delay and detection zones help trim some of it — someone pointed that out on my last post and they're right.

but they never touched the volume the way filtering on the snapshot level did.

the wild part isn't the person/vehicle counts.

it's the "nothing" pile.

most of every alert my cameras ever sent was basically a tree moving, a cloud passing, changing light, or something flying close to the lens.

i ended up building a filter that does this automatically — it checks the snapshot before anything hits my phone and only forwards alerts that actually contain a person, vehicle, or animal.

it's my own project, guardian.camera, if anyone else is dealing with the same thing.

Quais as principais diferenças entre esses dois modelos de campanhas da Reolink? Eu tenho os dois, o preto e o branco. Já notei uma coisa, o a campanha branca, ela detecta pacotes e a preta não. Existem outras diferenças, vantagens? Me expliquem por favor.

I have a screen like this, and I just got 2 trackmix cameras for each corner. They are much heavier than I expected! How do I mount them? Ideally I would like to corner mount, and i have the brackets. I just need to be sure it won't just pull out of the aluminum. I also have flood lights near the top, so I can't just wrap the top corner. It needs to be below the flood light.

Ideas?

I have 2 Reolink Argus Pro.
Working fine , but at times it cuts out and just says device disconnected.
Both cameras at the exact same time .
Is it possible there is a way to block these ? I do have a trespasser that I’m trying catch out.
These a couple of years old and temperature gets down to 6’ at night, could it just be too cold ?

You can see plenty of battery left. I’m so confused and this guy is persistent:(

If I need new ones please let me know and I’ll order them asap . Thanks so much .

So i got these new omvi v3 and so far they seem to have decent picture but the app is useless. Unsure what im doing wrong here but one never shows up, the others never send notifications. When I look for events, the app ALWAYS freezes, it keeps alerting on my cars in the driveway. I've had better experiences with wireless eufy and even arlo.

its running on nvr with 2x top tier 10tb hdds all poe

I got the new gen 2 battery doorbell, but when I connect it to my NVR it says “failed to enable talk” when I press the “Tap to Talk” button.

If I have the doorbell standalone (not connected to my NVR) the audio function works. I disconnected it from Alexa as I saw someone had an issue when it was connected to Alexa.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I have installed 7 RLC-1224A and 2 Duo3 connected to a RLN16-410 in a relative's house. I wanted to use one conduit and one CAT6 FTP cable for each camera but the electrician left me one conduit per corner where there are two RLC-1224A, fortunately the conduit was big enough for two cables.

The problem was at the porch where there are the two Duo3 and one RLC-1224A and the conduit goes to a roof box and there are another three conduits one for each camera. The conduit from the box with the NVR to the split roof box is small and only can have one ethernet and there is no electricity at the box so... I thought of a PoE Switch powered by PoE.

At first I thought about using a PoE injector installed where the NVR, but after it, I tried to connect it directly to the NVR and it work perfectly.

So, one PoE port from the RLN16-410 can power two Duo3 and one RLC-1224A.

I have tried it with all the LEDs on and also the alarm and nothing goes off or reboot. This week we will exceed 40 degrees Celsius so it will be the test to see if it endures everything correctly.

Before I tried the direct connection to the NVR, I tried with an Ubiquiti PoE Inyector, passive 50V 1'2A (60w) and it work fine. The PoE Switch it's from AliExpress, 1 in 3 out.

To enter this house you have to go through a long road and I will install two or three points with two cameras each, I will connect them with fiber and a switch poe with SC ports. The power will be obtained from the sensor street lamps electrical line.

Any questions will be responded as soon as possible.

I am looking to temporarily disconnect the pigtail cable from a 1240A camera.
I have gotten so far as to remove the molex from the inside of the camera.
However, I am unable to loosen the plastic winged grommet nut from the base of the camera.
I tried needle nose pliers, but that was unsuccessful.
I also contemplated using two flathead screws to turn the nut, but I don’t think that will work.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have recordings where the tracking camera is just recording the feet of people and when it returns to the set monitoring point, the camera is below where I set it. Anyone have this issue? It has happened 4 times in one month. Running the calibration will fix it and support has no solution other than submitting an RMA request. Thankfully I’m in my Amazon return windows and their exchange process is much faster than Reolink.

I have searched the Reolink subs but nothing I could find really fits. The web and Reolink site haven't been able to answer my questions either.

Who has a Reolink (WiFi) camera and home router configered and working for direct remote access without external servers through your own home IP address?

Apart from with the Reolink app I can connect using TinyCam Pro with my week old E1 Zoom 4k using RTSP over TCP on my LAN without outside IP's/servers involved. I block every IP address in my Android firewall except the internal IP of the E1 in my LAN. No need for them.

I have set up port sharing/Permit Access in my Fritzbox. A HTTPS Server rule with port 443 with the camera's internal IP and my external Internet IP assigned to the rule. In TinyCam I have made a camera profile calling to my private external IP address and all HTTPS settings but it won't connect. I have tried HTTP/port 80 too but to no avail. To the best of my knowledge this should work, but it doesn't. Why?

Has anyone got this remote direct home IP access working? Without additional internal home hardware. Please tell me how you've done this and with what? I shouldn't need any external servers and preferably don't want to use them.

Edit: To be clear. I want to access the camera using an Android smartphone through a mobile network. Not from a different fixed location. I am aware of additional management options like Home Assistant but this requires some additional device running this. I prefer the simplest solution using only the camera, my Fritzbox 7583 router with 1Gb FTTH and fixed IP address and my Android mobile phone. This should work. I have run FTP servers and other software that communicates with other computers via the internet with the right port forwarding and that worked too. An FTP server or the server in the Reolink camera streaming video shouldn't be much different. The TinyCam Pro app works on my LAN with the camera. It is capable of adequate communication. It just needs to go through the Fritzbox from LAN to WAN and vice versa.

Edit2: Got it working. One part was that I had somehow capitalised the first letter of the username in the remote TinyCam profile. In the local profile it was correct.

Second. In most pages on this subject only port forwarding for http (and rtmp) access is described. Like Reolink itself here for instance:

https://reolink.com/blog/ip-camera-port-forwarding/

No mention of RTSP there apart from being used by 'other cameras'. Maybe because many Reolink implementations don't need it? Only with a more specific search about "which ports" I was informed by the search AI summary of the need to separately forward port 554 for this. Well duh. Of course. If you expect information to be complete you somehow fail to do your own thinking and see something even as obvious as this.

Oh well...

I'm planning to get and install a Reolink RLC-811A under the highest roof eaves of my two story house (sorry, I'm only showing a photo of the front of the house as the backyard is currently under construction) so it can monitor my entire backyard.

My main goal isn't facial identification. I just want to know which of my neighbours (or anyone else) entering my backyard and taking crops. I'm fine if the camera mostly captures the tops of people's heads, as long as it reliably detects people and records the event.

I'm planning to use the full 5x optical zoom to frame the backyard more tightly.

My questions are:

• Will the built-in spotlights still provide effective color night vision from a two-storey mounting height?

• Does mounting the camera that high reduce the reliability of the AI person detection or prevent it from working reliably, even when using the full 5x optical zoom?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has an RLC-811A mounted under the eaves of a two-storey house, especially if it's mounted at the highest roof eaves. Thanks

Hi all. Greetings from downunder.

I have just upgraded from a duo floodlight PoE 4k to a duo 3V PoE 16mp dome and cannot believe the lacklustre vertical FOV. I realise it is 7 degrees less than their other cams but, it seems way smaller.

The duo was wall mounted, but as high on the wall as it would go, against the soffit.

The duo 3v dome is mounted to the soffit and tilted as high as it can go.
It's downright ridiculous.

Duo V3 FOV despite being adjusted fully upward.

Compared the the old wall mounted duo floodlight cam.

I've emailed support but I'm not sure much can be done.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

P.S. Please excuse the mess, prepping for a driveway pour.
