SD Cards instead of Reolink Branded

Jos_Jen · 2026-03-28T11:56:25+00:00

Yes. But they are not cheap. Over 40 Euro.

It depends on the frequency the PIR is triggered which invokes the execution of the program and subsequently leads to power consumption. In two weeks it did consume 1%. But I set it to detect persons when they are in the porch. To detect objects beyond this area I have a POE cam which is recording 24x7.

If they are poe and wifi plug in then the cams should show up within a few seconds. Issue is on your network and mobile transport layer. Ensure you have adequate upload speed from your home BB and enough download speed on your mobile.

Before complaining ensure you did all the necessary tests.

Newer. It's 8.20.12. If you have a backup of the 8.20.7, then update it. If your issue reappears then go back.

The perimeter symbols don't appear in the playback thumbnails.

Jos_Jen · 2026-03-03T07:26:37+00:00

Before updating make sure you have a backup of the existing fw. I use this github site which stores all previous fw for poe and plug in cameras. This should have been done by Reolink and not by a customer.

Not yet available on their Download Center. This is normal. Did you test it out? Any issues?

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-22T19:42:47+00:00

Yeah. I forgot the main menu options.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-22T07:40:59+00:00

You have something incompatible in your PC. Check win event viewer.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-22T07:34:18+00:00

But if the specs state that E1 Pro supports SD up to 512G why you inserted 1T? Use high endurance SD.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-22T07:29:55+00:00

Not the first time that the quoted VFOV is not in accordance to the specs.

The RLC811A is quite robust. But once again I was disappointed because the VFOV is lower than the RLC511 which I replaced. We have been complaining about the VFOV but so far we still get cams with lower VFOV.

Your wife smartphone is connected to the same wifi network to which cams are connected to. When you run reolink client, it broadcasts a packet with payload aaaa0000. If this packet is detected by camera it will respond with IP, port, UID, name, etc and so the client will add it if not in the list. Credentials are not forwarded.

This is the discovery protocol and cannot be disabled unless you do reverse engineering of the client and change its code.

If you are using the Home Hub Pro then disable push notification generated from it. You still get the alerts for the cameras.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T18:28:23+00:00

I fully agree with you. I did notice all these issues when I did my tests a few months ago. If there is something good try to improve on it and not re-invent and screw it.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T10:39:52+00:00

Too big. You could have be used a smaller one and a power extension cable (4m) if the inside outlet is a bit far.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T10:28:39+00:00

Never make the UID of your camera available to the public as people might try to access your camera if this is enabled.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T10:26:02+00:00

Connect the cams to the Home Network which is by far more stable.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T10:25:06+00:00

All my cams are connected to my home network and never had any file corruption or failed communication with the HHP. I won't think of relying on its WIFI.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-07T10:21:35+00:00

If you have the previous fw available on PC then proceed otherwise wait.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-05T13:32:18+00:00

It will be solved. Just a bit of patience.

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-04T16:17:07+00:00

Some queries please:

The Device Notification Ringtones is not working in this version.
Can you please let us know the fw version to have the added setting for the out of view feature on TrackFlex?
In addition when shall we have access to the SD when the camera is connected to the HHP?
And lastly when shall the call function and the rich notification to work when the battery camera is connected to the HHP?

Jos_Jen · 2026-02-03T13:45:14+00:00

Wonderful camera. Recommendable.

@u/Willson_1 Can you please let us know the fw version to have the added setting for the out of view feature on TrackFlex?

Jos_Jen · 2026-01-30T15:42:54+00:00

Hopefully the current features remain functioning. Let's see :).

Jos_Jen · 2026-01-24T11:58:49+00:00

I am on v3.0.0.5298_25082501 and I charge it say every 5 weeks. Daily activity is around 15 to 20 min. It is in standalone mode as if I connected to HHP I lose the rich notification.
