Questions & Answers
The camera should be mounted to a solid surface from a mechanical standpoint. It doesn't matter whether the surface is horizontal or vertical. In terms of technical requirements, all wired IP cameras require CAT5E or CAT6 ethernet. If you want it done right, this isn't going to be a simple task. An RJ45 connection, an A/C power adapter connection, and a reset button are all included in this version. In terms of my setup, I used a 16-foot run of wire from a 16-foot run of wire from a 16-foot run of wire from A four-port Power over Ethernet switch is located next to my Internet router in the basement, inside the channel of the main steel support beam, and then to each of my home's four corners. I then carefully pulled a section of siding away from the exterior wall to drill a hole, then fished each wire through that hole and up to the second floor behind the siding's outside channel/corner. I then used 8-inch screws to secure each camera to the soffit. wood screws in the shape of stars This method saved me money by preventing me from having to hire someone to fish wires through my walls. You'll also require the following information: How to terminate the ends of each network cable run, as well as the tools required. In terms of myself, I am a huge supporter of EZ-Way. RJ45 connectors are used to connect computers and other devices. The wiring diagram for Platinum Connect CAT5e connectors (100 pack) is printed on the side of the plastic container, but I basically follow the 568B wire organization pattern (with the release tab of the clear plastic connector facing downward, then Orange/White, Orange, Green/White, Blue, Blue/White, Green, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/White, Brown, Brown/ I should also mention that if you can get your wiring through the walls from wherever your central networking termination point is (mine is the basement) and pull them through the attic, you could drill a 1/4 hole and pull the networking cable through instead of running it through the attic. how I went about it I'm also looking into using powerline network adapters, which, depending on your home's configuration, may be a better option. I haven't tried the wireless version of IP cameras because I'm afraid they'll suffer from jitter and frame-rate issues. if it freezes or if it's a bad day, it's in general high quality I currently own six of these cameras and am very pleased with them. Both during the day and at night, they deliver excellent results - Other sources of lighting/illumination (porch lights, the moon) may or may not be used. In terms of my recording setup, I have Blueiris, but I recently abandoned it due to high CPU resource utilization and the persistent solution pitched to those with cameras to reduce the FPS to 15 or less. Given that 5MP cameras - in my opinion - aren't good enough, this isn't an acceptable solution. Especially this one - provides outstanding quality and performance. For instance, I have all of my cameras set as high as they can go and using Reolink's windows software client my 4th generation Intel i3 barely reaches 25% utilization using Reolink% Blueiris (a CPU hog) was, on the other hand, consistently brought to its knees! Last but not least, unlike Blueiris, which uses a proprietary BVR file format, the Reolink client software uses the MP4 file format, which is universally standardized. I have a 4TB WD Purple 3 for storing recordings. 5" HDD that functions flawlessly! Nonetheless, I wish you all the best with your endeavor.
While the NVR is recording, the microSD card is not required; however, only cameras that have a microSD card (or are powered by batteries) will be able to fast forward through video (2x). 16x). This may not appear to be a big deal, but it can save you a lot of time when looking for an event.
There is a setting that allows you to define how many times per day you want to record. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with motion detection (it could, but I've never tried). br>Contact customer service for more information; they are helpful.
Yes, if you only use the camera for its intended purpose, you can turn it off in the Settings menu. Infrared light is a type of light that is visible to the naked eye but

In 2018, I bought four Reolink cameras, each with a different hardware revision as they progressed from 4 to 5 megapixels. Those cameras are not an issue for me. They're still doing their job for me. I did, however, recently purchase an RLC-equipped vehicle. 410- RLC and 5MP are two of the most popular cameras on the market today. 420- In January of this year, 5MP was released at the same time, and these are brand new revisions. Here are some of the issues I discovered: br>br>1- br>br>br>br>br>br>b When using the Windows Client or the Web interface, the camera would randomly freeze and stutter. br>2- When using the Windows Client or Web interface to detect motion and record, the camera would freeze and stutter. br>br>These two issues were present on both cameras (410 and 420), and I was using the most recent Reolink Windows Client v7. My other four cameras are still working fine, but you visit the manufacturer's website and discover that no firmware for the newer hardware revision 51xx cameras has been released. I understand that they may be unaware of the issues, or that a bad batch was released into the market. These two models have received a lot of positive feedback. I'm afraid I'll have to send these back because they're useless. I'm not going to buy the older 4MP models just to see if they're any better because the stock will run out and you'll have no idea what you'll get next or in a year or two when you need replacements. Dealing with it is too dangerous and frustrating. br>br>It's too bad, because their PC Windows Client for motion detection recording on my dedicated Windows 10 PC is fantastic. For quality consistency, I moved on to another brand.
This is the simplest installation I've ever seen! I upgraded a primary camera and added a new camera to my 12-camera system, which is run on Blue Iris NVR software on a large Dell server and monitors multiple angles/doors of several buildings on my property. Dlink 720p bullet cameras were used in all of these older cameras. I paid $300 for each of these cameras when they were 6 to 8 years old. I wanted to upgrade to much higher resolution cameras so that I could recognize faces, read license plates from a distance, and see other details that the old 720p cameras couldn't see. br>br>Due to my skepticism, I only ordered two of these, one of which is this bullet-proof vest. RLC-Cam is one model, and RLC-Dome is another. 420- 5MP, which appears to have the same guts but is packaged differently. br>br>Very simple to set up. I already had PoE ethernet hard-wired to these (and dozens of other) camera locations, so it was literally plug-and-play. and-play. So that my Blue Iris DVR software knows where to find them, I changed the IP address from DHCP to a hard-coded IP address. br>br>Picture quality is a significant improvement over the old Dlink camera, and night vision is excellent, as shown in the photos. The dome camera captured the porch shots, while the bullet camera captured the driveway and yard shots. Because I'm using advanced third-party NVR software, I can't comment on any of the software features, but the video quality is excellent. notch, and it easily sends 25 frames per second at full resolution of 2560x1920 pixels, with a variety of max bitrate options. It can go up to 8192 kbps, but I keep it at 6144 kbps because the video is smooth and clear. br>br>I'm going to give these cameras a week or two to see if there are any surprises, then I'll replace the other 12 with these and probably add a few more, but early results indicate that these are fantastic cameras at any price, but especially under $100 each. For comparison, I took a photo (and labeled it) from the same angle with an old Dlink 720p camera; you can see how much better it is.
It works for me. Quality during the day is good. It's a good night, and the support issue has been resolved. The issue didn't appear to be caused by a faulty camera. When the camera is set to "reolink RLC-" Blue Iris works fine. The number 410 has been chosen. However, in Blue Iris, this camera was set up as a generic ONVIF camera. Video artifacts are caused by decode errors in this mode. The symptom went away after I changed the camera type from generic to reolink. br>br>I appreciate the vendor's prompt email response. br>br>For Blue Iris users, choose MPG4 rather than MPG5 for Blue Iris compatibility, and Reolink RLC- As far as the camera type goes, it's 410. br>br>I now have four reolink cameras and three RLC-compatible cameras. 410- One RLC-equipped camera and five MP 411S. All of them make me happy. =- br>br>=- br>br>=- br>br>=- br>br>This camera used to make me happy. I'm the proud owner of three RLC-equipped vehicles. 410- 5 megapixels plus one of the previous 4 megapixel models Two of my 410s are fine, but the third one I purchased is constantly glitching, with rectangles at the bottom of the image and vertical line distortion about 20 times per day. The vendor wants me to stare at the camera's web page for a few minutes in order to catch it in the act. How can I spend an entire day staring at a web page about cameras? NVRs are designed to do just that. So far, I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem. I'm hoping they'll show up. This is clearly a faulty device. (A photo of the glitchiness has been uploaded. ) )br>br>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= prior review (prior to receiving the third (faulty) unit) - br>br>With this camera, I am very pleased. I have three of them, as well as a smattering of GW, Dahua, Hik, and other Reolinks, scattered throughout my home. The new reolink 5MP cameras appear to be quite good. The images have a good amount of detail. A good bit rate is possible with this camera. Typically, I receive two. At 10 frames per second, the camera's maximum resolution is 5 megabits per second. I don't use any of the cameras' storage or motion detection features. All of them are powered by Blue Iris, which runs on a Core i7 with nVidia graphics. This pairing is one of my favorites. But, NVR aside, as a slave to a really good NVR like Blue Iris, this camera outperforms other similar units in terms of price. Reolink appears to have been a step ahead of the competition in bringing 5MP cameras to market. (Though I see now that there's an 8MP version on the market!) It's worth a shot for capturing porch pirate license plates!.
I bought a Reolink NVR system that included four 5MP cameras. Separately, I bought a fifth camera. The first camera was incapable of switching between day and night modes. I went back and got a new one. 4 cameras were installed in the eaves of the building. I mounted the fifth camera on a tree at a downward angle to shed water while maintaining a clear video feed. For about three months, the camera worked perfectly. Following that, I was looking out a "foggy window. " The system was set up at a temporary location. When I arrived home today, the front of the unit was completely flooded.
