    SD49225XA-HNR Dip Switches?

    I'm sure it was a simple one word - 'track'. I'll give it a further go.

    SD49225XA-HNR Dip Switches?

    Thank you I do have that screen. I have set up one preset (it doesn't seem to retain the name I gave it. It might be working? I have it testing on a herd of cows in the field - though they aren't cooperating. It might be set up in browser / smartpss - I'm not sure the instruction is crossing...

    SD49225XA-HNR Dip Switches?

    It seems I do have auto-tracking - or at least the menu options. The Android app definitely says "not available", whilst Firefox browser is limiting what I can view. Internet Explorer, though, lets me add tracking - though it's not (yet) working....

    SD49225XA-HNR Dip Switches?

    Perhaps you have the same firmware that I have, as there's no autotracking on my two cameras. That's by going into the Dahua setup via IP/web browser, and by using the Android app.

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    Aye, but I tend to run BI with Maximise Frame ticked - ptz windows etc removed from view :D

    I made the Reolink mistake

    I've learnt the hard way Reolink are quick to offer advice to 'improve' situations, but often make it worse. I've just sent a malfunctioning 423 back, so they can improve for other customers! (continually defaults to factory settings) for a new one - that's gone somewhere out of the way and...

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    Ah - From another thread ... My setting under PTZ Tab was Dahua New V5 and I couldn't optically zoom - I can with Dahua New V4.... Shame there doesn't appear to be a switch to allocate optical zoom to the mouse scroll instead of digital. (is there?).

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    I've just double-checked. I don't have any optical zoom through BI - only digital with the Dahua.

    Aye, that was done. It found it quickly and assigned it under generic settings.

    Interesting. I've got my Andy Dahua up, and it didn't optically zoom last night - time to drill down into the settings a bit more.

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    BI will do digital zoom, but not optical - unless there's a hidden setting I have missing. I run the Reolink app in the background to make adjustments, but otherwise BI controls. ;):clap::lmao:

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    Thanks both. Don't get me wrong - I'm not enthralled with Reolink having just had the PTZ replaced under warranty. Two cams from empireandy will replace them in the main role - but I guess some things BI cannot do. I asked about the camouflage because a fox was spooked when it saw the camera...

    2 Questions : Reolink PTZ & Wildlife

    If I may ask.... 1) Does any one use a Reolink PTZ and can they get optical zoom working through BI. 2) For those using a camera to monitor wildlife. Do you camouflage the camera - that big white bulb is an obvious scare-baby! I was considering using strips of black ducktape, zebra-like...

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    Thank you - very interesting set up! Mine's relatively 'simple'; PTZ camera at end of 100 metres + 10 metres CAT6, overlooking a pond. Been working adequately for months; until this week! Fox took one look at camera in its early days and ran away, never to be seen again!

    It was mine, too! However I didn't pop in here to realise the error of my ways until it was too late!!!!

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    I'm in the market for a replacement to my Reolink PTZ - but what's the quality of images at night in any of these above options or, indeed, any other PTZ cameras? The Reolink is appalling at night, though the daytime images are good (when it works - just started defaulting to factory settings...

    Pretty amazing zoom capability. What's the camera like with shots at night?

    Where does BI get sunrise/sunset from? I noticed this morning that sunrise was midday in the Status window.

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    When the wind blows - I've since discovered the issue was there when it didn't blow! Thank fully I appear to now have a stable situation - live preview through BI set at 1fps works adequately. I really do need to choose my next cameras more carefully......:banghead:

    Reolink & SV3C

    Thanks Sebastian: When I asked Reolink about the ntp server options I was told I had to give access to the Internet.... Och weel, they'll no doubt go faulty sometime and I can justify suitable replacements....At least I'm getting something on BI.

    Reolink & SV3C

    Okay... I now know I shouldn't have touched these with a proverbial barge-pole! 1. As I deny Reolink cameras ( 423 ptz & 520 ) access to the Internet ( router block ), the timestamp slowly shifts. The Client software doesn't allow me to point at an ntp server on my BI machine. May I seek...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    I suspect on their app, the streams are governed by choosing, Fluent, Balanced, Clear etc? I'll give that setting a go, thank you....

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Thanks - but that seems to be half the problem! I can use both v7 & v8 of the Reolink Software. Both provide settings for Main & Sub-Stream, but not how they are enabled... Reolink haven't updated their FAQ on connecting to BI. I've had them working under Reolink description rather than...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Aye, I've downloaded and got it working quickly. The cameras appear in this app; but not in BI strangely!
