    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I'm content with the outcome after having updated the firmware yesterday. All seems fine. HA integration is working fine. Just to confirm, you did extract the firmware file from the archive you downloaded, correct? The file you download is an archive with two files inside.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Try rebooting the doorbell from the web UI or app, then upload the file. Worked for me yesterday.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I just installed one of two Reolink Wifi doorbells that I picked up. The picture is much better than the AD110. All in all, it's an improvement, but I would much prefer to be able to use my very old mechanical chime, which the AD110 did allow for. The chime was configured with both doorbells...

    Excessive RAM use (up to 19 gigs!) [SOLVED]

    Quick summation: Having RAM issues? Maybe it's your display driver. Did you recently update it? Maybe it's time to "roll back", or, in my case, completely reinstall an older version. I'm just dropping a note to share my solution. I use the iOS app and, for months, the RAM percentage was up in...

    Analog box camera. Interference?

    Agreed that an IP cam system would be ideal. He recently invested in the DVR and he has about a dozen analog cameras with cabling passing through various conduits and junctions. I'm just going to put some band-aids on the wounds, but you make a great point: a 5MP band-aid is much better than...

    Analog box camera. Interference?

    I'm helping a friend with some camera issues that have arisen at his property. He has a Bolide DVR that displays feeds from various analog cameras, most of which are (or are similar to) this 5MP from DIgital Watchdog. Two cameras on the property are not putting out a crisp image. The cameras are...

    AD110 and intermittent green pixelation

    Thanks. That didn't seem to fix it. But I think something else did: Video > Configure > Decoder Compatibility Mode And I set the max FPS to 20 in case the extra RAM might help. Do you think that is worth doing?

    AD110 and intermittent green pixelation

    I have two AD110 doorbells, both of which I have been viewing through Home Assistant directly via RTSP. They both record to SD cards well, and my RTSP stream has been stable in HA. However, I've recently added them to BI, where I get very frequent flashes of green pixelation. I have replaced my...

    Bridged Adapter on Blue Iris host (shared with VirtualBox VM)

    I see. Thank you for the details. If I run into any similar issues it's very useful to know there is a possible solution.

    Bridged Adapter on Blue Iris host (shared with VirtualBox VM)

    Thank you. I do have two Amcrest AD110 doorbells and I'm streaming the video feeds to my BI and my HA. If it seems that I'd benefit from running rtsp-simple-server I'll give it a shot. I've dabbled with CLI and am fairly comfortable. Thank you for mentioning it. I wasn't aware of its existence...

    Bridged Adapter on Blue Iris host (shared with VirtualBox VM)

    Thanks for the response. It looks like I'll be fine with option 1 then. That's good news.

    Bridged Adapter on Blue Iris host (shared with VirtualBox VM)

    More specifically, my concerns are to alleviate strain on my router and on my PC's NIC. My UDM Pro's memory usage is already in the mid-60 percentage and CPU load is low 40s, and I have four more cameras to add, plus I'm rarely home these days and overall usage is low at the moment. So as much...

    I'll move it. Thanks.

    Adding Cameras: rtsp vs http vs https

    Thank you for touching upon this NIC issue. I started another thread about this topic last night, coincidentally.

    Bridged Adapter on Blue Iris host (shared with VirtualBox VM)

    I'm setting up Blue Iris on a new 11th gen i7. I'm using the same PC to host a VirtualBox VM of Home Assistant with Bridged Adapter network settings (sharing the ethernet adapter on the PC). I intend to stream some camera feeds to Home Assistant dashboards (currently using RTSP urls for this)...
