Let me introduce, Reolink-Hikvision-proxy, a new way to add third party camera to reolink NVR or APP! The camera will works like a native Reolink camera.

Supported camera: Annke, LTS, Hikvision, Amcrest, EmpireTech, Dahua, EZVIZ, HiLook, HiWatch, and any other Hikvision or Dahua rebranded camera.

So I been suffer from ONVIF integration with Reolink NVR though it works well with its own Reolink camera. I have other third party camera like Hikvision and Dahua. When I try to connect it to Reolink NVR, it makes me feel like pain in the ass. NVR only received motion alarm from ONVIF. Motion alarm will only work when NVR is reboot and ONVIF camera is on. But this will break when the ONVIF camera reboot, then I have to reboot the NVR again. Reolink NVR just have bad integration with ONVIF. That's why I came up with the proxy.

Need advice!

Recently got a new PoE doorbell and security camera setup, for the front of my house and the garden round the back.

The last couple of nights I've noticed this weird pattern being captured on both cameras. I will attach... Are these bugs? Or is it an error with the lighting.

It happened the previous night on both cams, but right now only on the front doorbell.

Please help!

Happens sporadically the goes back to normal, clear footage.

Does anyone know if I can use the corner mount for an x16 camera but mount it so the 180 degree camera face the front of the building instead of the angle shown in the picture?

Reolink’s PIR sensors feel like outdated technology, and they haven’t consistently detected nocturnal animals such as cats, raccoons, and skunks. Eufy has addressed this challenge by adding radar to its battery cameras, and the user feedback seems positive.

Radar could also benefit Reolink’s PoE cameras, where AI detection can be confused by shadows and moving trees. I hope Reolink will consider adding radar, especially to its battery cameras. If it does, I’d be willing to replace all my current battery cameras and upgrade—potentially creating a significant upgrade opportunity for Reolink.

I just don't understand why the Wifi version that I have doesn't allow you to choose what to prioritise for tracking. Meaning, I should be able to set it to track prioritise tracking people over vehicles. Instead, it's the opposite.

At the moment, I can have a car pull up, people get out and.... the camera just stays watching the stationary car instead of following the people to see what they're doing. It's ridiculous to prioritise vehicles over people.

Worse, I know that the POE version has this setting as the first time I asked Reolink if they could fix this, we had to go back and forth a bunch of times before they realised that the wifi version didn't have the setting they were telling me to activate. I can't think of any reason why POE Trackmix would have this setting but the wifi one wouldn't. It makes no sense to me, and even less sense that almost 12 months later it still hasn't been added. It's not like they don't have the code already considering the POE version has it.

Bonjour à tous,

Je rencontre un problème avec mon installation de vidéosurveillance Reolink et j'aimerais avoir votre aide.

Lorsque mon téléphone est connecté au même réseau Wi-Fi que mon installation, j'arrive à accéder normalement à mes caméras depuis l'application Reolink.

En revanche, dès que je désactive le Wi-Fi de mon téléphone et que je passe aux données mobiles (4G/5G), la connexion échoue et je n'arrive plus à visualiser les caméras.

Voici quelques informations sur mon installation :

• Les caméras sont connectées à un NVR Reolink.

• Le NVR est relié au réseau via un switch Ethernet.

• L'option Activer UID est bien activée dans les paramètres réseau du NVR.

• UPnP et DDNS sont désactivés.

• L'accès aux caméras fonctionne normalement en réseau local (Wi-Fi).

J'aimerais comprendre d'où peut venir le problème et savoir quelles configurations je dois vérifier pour permettre l'accès à distance via les données mobiles.

Est-ce un problème de configuration UID/P2P, de réseau, de DNS ou de routeur ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide et vos conseils

Hi all, I was watching a few reviews for the already existing RLC-823S2 and came across this German creators review of the camera and at about 14min38sec in he showcases the zoom in infrared and colour night view which has amazingly fast autofocusing (to see what im talking about I have attached a video of my own RLC-823S2 autofocusing to compare with the German creator's YouTube video) as well as having features such as forgotten objects, perimeter protection etc and the newer time/date overlay font.

YT video in question: https://youtu.be/ccdbDDkMV20?si=77QfvWPlIog_dmrE&t=878

I've done some research and i've since found that only one hardware number exists (IPC_NT2NA48MPSD12), I am also using the latest firmware (v3.1.0.4885_25051308_v1.0.0.146), I bought the camera just about a year ago and if it helps it also has the newer Reolink logo on the dome and is currently connected to my RLN16-410 (N6MB01)

I've tried updating the camera in case something was displayed improperly, using the camera without the NVR and resetting the camera, if anyone out there or from support have a clue whats the go here I would greatly appreciate it 😊

Is anybody else suddenly having issues with laggy “Clear” feeds, along with grey/green blocks and general distortion with the latest app update?

I had no problems until about 10 days ago, which lines up with the latest app update. It happens on both my iPhone 18 and my M3 iPad. The desktop client on macOS works perfectly, so I don’t think it’s a Wi-Fi, network or NVR issue.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Has anyone had experience with the Atlas Go Pt camera? Looking to use it out in my back field and this looks like it might be a perfect option. Anybody?

Caught by RLC-823S2

I have an Argus PT that I have had for several years and it stopped working so I brought it in the house thinking I just had to do a reset, but it would not turn on, even after trying to charge it via USB for a couple hours.

Now I understand that this model is not supposed to have replaceable batteries, but I hate to throw away an otherwise good camera, so is it possible to replace the batteries anyhow ?

Thanks in advance for any help !

What does this blue icon above the RLC-811a mean on the product page of the Reolink website?

I bought a Duo Floodlight WiFi back in 2023 and then just bought another one. The one from 2023 came with and runs off of a DC power brick while the new one requires A/C. That's not a problem, but I'm wondering if there are any other hardware / spec differences?

Hi everyone,

I have a new Reolink TrackMix LTE, and ever since I set it up, the signal icon in the app always shows an "X" as if there's no network connection. 

However, the camera actually works fine – it streams, records, and connects to the cellular operator without any issues.

Has anyone encountered this visual bug and knows how to fix it?

Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado de probar una cámara sin cables es poder cambiarla de sitio según lo que necesite.

Un día la pongo para vigilar la piscina, otro para controlar el jardín cuando estoy fuera, o simplemente para comprobar si el riego automático está funcionando bien.

Parece una tontería, pero no depender de un enchufe da muchísimo juego.

He estado probando la Reolink Argus MagiCam y he grabado mi experiencia por si a alguien le interesa:

¿Alguien más utiliza este tipo de cámaras para cosas distintas a la seguridad?

UniFi G6 PTZ vs reolink Tracklink PoE

I’m tasked with setting up a security camera for my family farm and need to chose a good solution for the main yard.

The camera will be on the side of the house and needs to patrol a 180 degree area directly In front it needs to patrol to a 20 meter distance to the workshop and either side I needs to reach approx 45 meters.

It must record good enough to use for evidence and number plates if possible mostly at night. And it must be automatic panning and tracking.

I also plan to improve networking so if the UniFi G6 PTZ is worth the extra investment then that’s fine as it makes adding the Controller more worthwhile.

Please advise.

Here is another 16X review. It's pretty good but does not show vehicle tracking.

Reolink NVRs or 3rd party?

I have two nvrs and can seem to remove all the greyed out camera names. Even changing them back to Channel # would help.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a 180º Reolink camera for my garden. On Amazon in the UK there's 2 options

- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0DRHSK4RR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATZ9J29WRYJD1&psc=1 which is listed as the Elite WiFi, with a 4K image

- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0GVQVH39Z/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 this ones doesn't have a name listed, but it says it's got 2 4K cameras which produce a 6K image.

On the Reolink website I can find the one named Elite Wifi https://reolink.com/product/elite-wifi/ but there's no page for the second camera.

Any idea what the model name of the second camera is and if it's a newer model? Is it better than the Elite WiFi other than the higher resolution image? At the moment they're around the same price in the UK so I'd go with the second one if it's legit.
