    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    Another firmware update for the newer Reolink series (top is the newer 8Megapixel A series (RLC-823A) - bottom is older 5MP series, no updates there yet / no change). Seems to have finally improved the i-frames ratio, matching on both the main and sub streams. Some Youtube reviewers saying...

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    Yeah the API comment was just meaning that they seem to be trying to at least cater a little to the home tinkerer (and actually respond to issues). Obviously doesn't solve for underspec'd hardware.... I'd heard knocks against HIkivision in regards to the support aspect. Thanks so much for...

    Sorry, we're perhaps on different convos - I was replying to the original poster's particular (config) problem for this particular firmware release vs. the deeper dive in to BI vs Reolink tech talk, to the extent that (bonehead default of OVMIF toggled off aside) they seem to be making an effort...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    It may be tricky as those models have the HP SureStart and several tamper proof options that tries to thwart such bypasses for security reasons - the minute power is applied to the board it looks for the bootblock and becomes active. on the 8300, you can hit escape repeatedly and get to the...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Just wanted to contribute a pragmatic solution, many I've noticed seem to be on a somewhat utopian chase for a nice concise PVR-sized power sipping appliance like set and forget setup with X featureset sans proprietary lockin or pricing, but I notice most seem to of course frequently compare...
