New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?
- Thread starter Elton Noway
- Start date
Be sure to squirt a dab of dielectric grease into the female RJ-45 of the doorbell and on the male RJ-45, plug it in and test before final mounting. Of course, the Reolink does dismount easily with the little pin-tool they provide should you need to go back to do that.
What I use => CRC Technician Grade Dielectric Grease
More likely available in Europe => Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease

Thanks, in my haste I ordered the more expensive ones that were arriving on Wednesday, cancelled that and ordered the cheaper ones (€5.99) arriving tomorrow.
Interesting, I’m already using my own self-signed certificates on my Synology without any further problems and I also put a certificate on the Reolink doorbell itself after reading the Reolink forum earlier. Still it didn’t work. (DS Cam on iOS or surveillance station WEB, didn’t try the desktop app).
Doorbell now supported by Synology Surveillance Station
(also posted on Reolink Facebook)A heads up for those of you that have a Synology NAS. The latest version of Surveillance Station supports the Reolink Doorbell (without using ONVIF). It also appears to support 2-way audio, but insists on having a HTTPS co...community.reolink.com
Looks like two-way audio is supported but only through HTTPS, HOWEVER I think Synology Surveillance Station uses the default DS certificate because I connect to mine with HTTPS ticked and it works. I do not have any self signed certificates installed.

I am going to order it, however I am a bit scared having to drill a much larger hole to put the RJ45 connector through my door post.
I’m about to retry it tonight.

Just setting up my Reolink Doorbell.
Quick question, please?
I see that there's no polarity (+ or -) on the connection screws.
Is this device running on 24v AC and not DC?
I don't think I've ever seen an electronic device, powered by DC, with non-polarized connections.
Just don't want to fry something ...

It’s AC. Mine’s running on my old doorbell transformer.
Edited to add: Same as the Ring and Nest video doorbells it replaced.

OK, cool. I wonder if they convert the ac to dc for the non-doorbell components? Anyhow, back to DavidL's setup instructions. Thanks!

It won't accept this step - it errors "Can't save IP settings. Check one or more settings and try again."

Either 24VAC or 24VDC, it doesn't matter, as there's a bridge rectifier inside that converts incoming AC to DC and passes DC on through.
The Reolink Wi-Fi doorbell comes with a 24VDC wall wart.
My 2 are running off a 20VAC doorbell transformer with chime disconnected, using the furnished plug-in chimes.
Use a unique IP that is OUTSIDE of your router's DHCP pool.
Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

I don't know for sure what that means. (It can't see my router - the wifi is turned off.)
I'm on an ASUS notebook pc.
"Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0"
Tried this, instead of his example, no joy.

There is no IPv4 address - the instructions had me turn everything off.

The reason you want to assign an IP address outside your DHCP pool is so that you don’t unintentionally assign an IP address that your DHCP server has assigned to a different device and cause a conflict. If you know of an unused IP address within the range used by your other cameras, you can use that.

Do I need to turn the wifi back on, make the changes, then turn it off?
Wait, this is supposed to be Ethernet, not wifi. Why would the Ethernet be impacted by wifi settings?
Something's missing ...
If so, perhaps the instructions need to re-order the steps?

New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?
Has anyone noticed the after a while Blue Iris is not allowed (or loses) a connection to audio on these cams? Like maybe the cam audio goes to sleep? Video is fine. I can usually solo the cam and hear audio, then I may go back and it's gone. Sometimes it's gone for recordings as well. If I...

Regarding IP's, @David L 's image is an example of the IP and subnet mask you use for YOUR network, don't use ANY of the IP's in his furnished image....they are for HIS network!
