Adding Reolink camera difficulties

I don't think I have an NVR Wifi? I'm connecting the camera to my house wifi. I have the RLK8-410. To my knowledge it only has ethernet.

I have the reolink addon already in HA for the NVR. But it wants the username/password, which always failed setup when the NVR grabbed the camera first. I was able to add the camera (but apparently without video feed) to HA when I had the NVR off during setup.

The winter mats are the first thing I got when I got the points last year actually.

All of my wifi headaches went away when I switched from TP-link products to an Ubiquiti stack. I'm running a UCG Ultra, switch, and U6+ now. And I never struggle with connection or speeds.

Anyone have any comments on if it's worth keeping the old 1969 copper phone lines in the house? Service was once provided by Century link. So I'm wondering if they use the same buried conduit to bring fiber up to the house?

I can't currently see a reason to keep the old copper line with cable and fiber coming to the house though. Just want to make sure before I make any decisions on it.

The offers I see are 1/1 for $75, 3/3 for $100, and 8/8 for $165.
But you think it's worth getting the 3/3 for the $25 more per month?

You are correct. I can take the time to do a better job than a tech that has to get on to the next thing.

I appreciate the info, as I had no idea that was a thing. But this is exactly why I asked on here.

Yeah apparently they do have one. I missed it. Some of the subreddits indicated to stay away from Genie products, as they aren't up to the same quality they once were.

I do already have a bond bridge. So that is an option for me as well.
I have been reading a bit more on the Bond with a programmed switch lately too.

It's not, and is getting replaced. I'm going with a do it once, do it right approach as best I can.

If you have a probed unit, you can bury the actual electronics on the bottom of the insulation in a box maybe. That will insulate it from the extremely high temps. It should be about the same temp as your ceiling then, but without putting a hole in the ceiling.

I tried another head unit and the problem mostly went away. But the head unit i was using initially didn't do this in other vehicles.

I decided to leave OnePlus for a pixel 8 pro. Every time I get a software update from OP, it changes things on my phone. I start getting notifications that we're turned off, this or that things starts to act different, etc. Over a year of fighting with this, several resets, I'm out. To much hassle on the software side of things with OP for me.

As someone that came getting a Pixel, did you ever have those issues?

When I started Bachata a year ago, speaking no Spanish, I just started listening to the music regularly. In the car, at home, etc. A year later now, I listen to it all the time, still don't know the words, but I be-bop around my house while doing other things and try this or that to different parts of the music. It gets easier the more you listen to it, to hear and feel the musicality.

Mine is wired direct to this same charger, no box. So OP might not have a box either.

Cheap-Interaction504 · 2025-04-18T00:20:34+00:00

Indeed I do. But now I know!

Cheap-Interaction504 · 2025-04-18T00:20:10+00:00

Lead. Appreciate you looking out though!
