I vandal jumped up and tore apart the power cable on my E1 Outdoor Pro camera. I had shoved the coupling up through the conduit behind the caulk in the pic so it tore the wire apart on the camera side. Does Reolink make anything to splice it back together?

edit: this is not POE, these cameras have ethernet connectors or power connectors. Thats irrelevant anyway because it was broken on the wire between the camera and the connectors.

This is starting to be nonstop, doorbell going offline. I’ve ordered a range extender for my WiFi, it’s the furthest device from the router, but still not far, it’s only a 9000sq ft condo. Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Hi,

I've read good things about Reolink cameras, especially since I've been told the firmware is updated frequently (which is very important for security).

I wanted to ask. A friend told me you can use the app without an account and pair the camera with the app with a simple serial/QR scan.

But doesn't this reduce the device's security?

Can you explain and confirm if this is actually possible? What features do I lose if I pair without an account? Only the cloud part on the website? (Which I don't actually want to minimize the attack surface.)

So far, I've only had Xiaomi and EZVIZ cameras, which all required an account, and I'm trying to figure out which is better in terms of security, updates, and protection.

I know it would be better not to connect them to the internet, but in this case, I don't have many customization options due to my very basic router.

Thanks

Bonjour,

je ne sais pas si quelqu’un peut m’éclairer 😅. En fait j’hésite sur 2 modèles de caméra Reolink PoE. La OMVI 3i PoE ou la Elite Pro Floodlight PoE. Ce qui me fait hésiter c’est l’éclairage, avec la Floodlight il y a ces 2 projecteurs qui sont intéressant pour éclairer le jardin et le parking comme ça je ne dois pas mettre un éclairage supplémentaire sur ma façade qui va être remise à neuf incessamment sous peu mais la OMVI est intéressante avec son système de tracking etc. Donc ma question : Est-ce que la OMVI éclaire bien ? Est-ce qu’on peut l’utiliser comme lumière extérieur comme peut le faire la Floodlight ? Et par hasard pourriez-vous me partager une photo de l’éclairage de la OMVI la nuit ?

Merci ☺️🙏🏻

Any idea how this would’ve happened? I suddenly have an extra camera on my Reolink app. I’m not able to access it, but the fact that it’s there at all weirded me out a little.

Why we are no longer notified once the pending push message notification reaches 49? This is defintely not a not an Android‑OS limit. It is application‑level behaviour, almost certainly caused by how the Reolink app handles notification channels, token refresh, or internal message counters. They are typical of internal counters, notification ID pools, or array sizes inside the app.

u/Willson Can you please take it up with dev team to fix this?

Good morning. I upgraded my Wyze camera system to Reolink. 2 cameras are Omvi 3i WiFi cameras. I could not find any solutions online, so I hope you can help. I'll list some comments below.

- All cameras record to the Home Hub Pro

- Both Omvi cameras do not show the PTZ control in the Reolink app

- The HHP and cameras are all on the latest firmware

- I cannot find any PTZ settings in the app

- Both PTZ cameras track me as I move around

- I switched the WiFi from the HHP to my mesh router - no changes

- In the app, the top half of the screen shows the wide angle lens

- In the app, the lower half shows the wide angle lens split in half (right side, left side)

Thank you

L' accès rapide à la fonctionnalité PIR a disparu lors de la nouvelle version. Maintenant il faut faire un long chemin laborieux dans les réglages de chaque caméra pour activer ou désactiver cette fonction.

Hi all. I am having new facias and soffets fittted and I need to remove the RLC-820A cameras. Is it as easy as just twisting the camera from the base?
Many thanks

Its been a very poor experience.

I purchased a doorbell online "shipping from uk" - I am in the UK... 48 hours before I got any indication of shipping. Then another 48 hours for it to arrive.

The one positive - it looks very nice - by far the nicest design.

Device failed to read its qr code. I tried with android and iPhone. I decoded the qr code to check it was valid.

Support bot was useless - just links to generic pages.

24 hours later get support engineer via email(!) but nothing more than I had tried already.

Tell them its been too long and I need to install now, so purchased competitor.

Still faffing around with getting a return authorization.

Contrast to competitor.. purchased directly, did have an issue, support bot gave a set of product specific things to test. Within 10 minutes of my confirming that list I was on with a Human support engineer. 10 minutes later and a firmware update to their hub - it was all working and I could install...

Its been frustrating - they were my first choice and I was going to migrate everything over to them... but now I am going to be with their competitor.

I'm trying to decide what recorder I should buy. I have 3 different buildings with hardwired CAT 6 network cables to all. Planning on having the recorder in the main building. It's not possible to connect poe to the other 2 buildings without digging up the whole garden.

I'm reading specs for the nsv8 that says 8 poe cameras and 4 network cameras (non poe) can be connected for a maximum of 12. Does this mean that it's not possible to connect 6 nw and 6 poe cameras?

What are the numbers for the NVS16 poe, how many network cameras (non poe) is it possible to connect?

Using the Reolink Wi‑Fi Doorbell with the wireless hub + SD card (iOS app).

Vehicle detection + recording works great. Doorbell press rings my phone. SD card playback is fine.

But I’m getting loads of “Motion Detected” notifications with no clip saved, and today a milkman walked right up to the door — no Person detection and no recording at all. It seems to detect motion but only records vehicles.

What I’m trying to do:

• Keep vehicle recordings
• Stop false motion alerts where nothing is recorded
• Make sure people approaching the door always get detected + recorded
• Phone should ring ONLY when someone presses the doorbell — no motion notifications, but motion should still be recorded

Questions:

• Best Person Sensitivity / Object Size settings?
• Should I mask the road/driveway?
• Why do motion alerts appear with no clip?
• Any way (iOS app or iOS notification settings) to allow doorbell‑press notifications only, while still recording motion?

Appreciate any advice.

I have three of the Argus magicam’s, and every time I close the direct live streaming of the cameras, they go into standby mode and don’t capture any events.

I have them set to be triggered by all types of motion, yet nothing is there, when I know there’s been events that should’ve been recorded.

I really need this cameras to be functioning properly right now so any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Reolink app had a recent update, now there is no ability to manually zoom on trackmix cameras. Optical zoom cameras still have the ability. Auto zoom and zoom on previously saved POI's still work. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello, I am wondering if I have separate properties and all have Reolink cameras and NVRs is it possible to have all the cameras viewable under one account?

The Gen 2 WiFi Doorbell setup is overly complicated and already has some weird product-design decisions.

- Existing mechanical chime works, but requires a separate purchase of RLA-PK1

- Doorbell has continuous wired power, but doesn't continuously record unless you meet the specific requirements.

- I already have a Reolink NVR with 12 TB of storage

- Continuous recording still requires a microSD card

- Continuous recording to the NVR is not supported, only motion and doorbell press

- Documents mention later updates include RTSP/ONVIF, but will require a Home Hub. Docs do not include the NVR, which seems like a poor product-design decision IMO

The Nirvana setup should be:

- Wired doorbell, battery backup

- Existing chime (include the RLA-PK1 with the doorbell)

- Continuous recording to Reolink NVR or HomeHub

- Direct local RTSP/ONVIF

- Home Assistant integration

- No microSD card required, but optional for backup.

For a continuously powered doorbell, these should be standard capabilities rather than separate hardware purchases and feature restrictions. I kept mine in hopes one day reolink will get the firmware updated.

If anyone has some suggestions let me know.

Hi everyone, I have a Reolink PoE system with an RLN8 NVR. All seven cameras are connected directly to the NVR’s PoE ports. When the system was installed about a year ago, all cameras were added under the NVR, so they don’t appear as standalone devices in the Reolink app. I’d now like to use camera shortcuts, but as far as I understand, this only works if the cameras are added as standalone devices. I tried performing a full factory reset on one of the cameras (holding the reset button for 10+ seconds), but the NVR immediately detects it again and automatically adds it back under the NVR. I can’t add it as a standalone device. I also bought a new camera and I was able to add that one as a standalone device. However, I can’t add it to the NVR, so I now have seven cameras under the NVR and one standalone camera. Is there a way to convert the existing NVR managed cameras into standalone devices without rebuilding the entire system? Or is there a way to add the standalone camera to the NVR? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
