It may be a good idea to do a walk test to check the level of blur. The cameras are so good they even pick up the stars in the sky.įootage would be better after scaffolding comes down. Infrared : off (so no spiders webs from now on)įootage taken at 00:29 hrs on QVR Pro, only light is street lighting and night sky.įinished installing cameras around 15:30:hrs, not one frame drop or disconnection so far. This footage is from the DS-2CD2086G2-IU 8MP 2.8mm 30m IR - AcuSense so lower the shutter speed will allow ambient light for better night time footage. On Hikvision cameras you can adjust the iris (aperture) just like on a SLR camera. Overall the Reolink is a good cheap camera, but I wanted more, so I paid the extra.Ģ x Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2-IU 8MP 2.8mm 30m IR - AcuSense - Built in Micġ x Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU/GREY 2.8mm 30m visible light - low light camera with built in mic - ColorVuĪnd I have the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU AcuSense 4K Darkfighter Turret Camera IR & Microphone The amount of setting this camera has compared to the Reolink, but this is a high price camera, records in 264, 264+, 265, 265+, with less bitrate used but same quality. I decided to change all my cameras to Hikvision now, I got the DS-2CD2386G2 delivered to see what it was like and the night time footage in colour is amazing, wish I got them first. but until they add this model to the compatibility list you wont see all the benefits.

REOLINK CLIENT UPGRADE PRO
I was using it on QVR Pro and wanted audio as well. this should have been a huge improvement from what I have, day time footage is good.
REOLINK CLIENT UPGRADE UPGRADE
I ordered mine form Amazon and got the 20% discount, that's why I thought I would upgrade all 3, but I was not impressed with the night time footage. True, you get what you pay for, Reolink was the first CCTV camera I used, they were cheap and the footage was acceptable. True, the colours may not be super accurate and the image has a harsh digital feel but for what it offers in terms of increased security because it is able to record in such amazing detail, the price I paid which was around £60 (current Amazon offer of 20% off) seems almost unbelievable. The definition of the image is extraordinary and the ease of poe means installation is just so easy. I'm sure you are correct and on a 4k monitor the difference between the cameras would be obvious but my first impression on connecting this Reolink model to my mid range monitor was one of surprise as to just how much this type of camera has improved in recent times. Like most things in life you get what you pay for and at the moment here in the UK you can get 3 of these new 4k Reolink cameras for the price of one equivalent Hikvision. Just ordered a DS-2CD2386G2-IU AcuSense 4K Darkfighter Turret Camera IR & Microphone, going to give it a try and if they work better than the Reolink I will be upgrading all cameras to Hikvision. RAID0 : 2 x 4TB WDPurple HD (thick Volume)Ĭache Acceleration RAID5 read only 1TB SSD for CCTV The Reolink RLC-810a is not on the compatibility list for QVR Pro I have added the other cameras back and QVR Pro is running 4 cameras, I have not installed the other 2 new Reolink RLC-810A yet as I want to sort this problem out first. So what am I missing or doing wrong, is there anything else I can try. In the Reolink App it does not matter what mode I run it in on, it show perfect footage with audio.

If I change it to Auto or TCP I get audio but get constant frame loss and disconnection. Its been running now for 2 days without frame loss or disconnecting, but I loose audio, no audio in UDP. I am running it on single stream mode, then I noticed if I changed the transport protocol from Auto to UDP it works perfect. After reading other users reviews for other Reolink cameras I tried some tweaking. So I deleted all cameras and formatted hard drives and just ran the RLC-810A only, still the same problem. I installed only 1 x RLC-810A and was getting constant disconnection and loss frame rate.Ĭamera was set up on ONVIF (ONVIF ProfileS Camera), port 8000 RTSP port 554, which allowed me to have it on 3840*2160 resolution, 25 frames, bit-rate 4096. Wanted to upgrade the front 3 cameras to better quality. I purchased 3 x Reolink RLC-810A to replace my 3 front garden cameras ( 2 x Reolink RLC-411, 1 x RLC-420) there is a 4th cameras in total, a Reolink RLC-420 which covers the back the garden.Īll cameras worked great and no issues with dropped frames or disconnecting.
