    Can REOLINK Doorbell Battery camera record 24/7 on NVR?

    But still, how is a battery camera connected to the NVR. Does it go online and offline all the time when people ring the bell or move in front of the camera?

    Can REOLINK Doorbell Battery camera record 24/7 on NVR?

    Oops, I thought wiring the battery camera gives the power it needs, and uses the battery just as backup if power goes out...

    Can REOLINK Doorbell Battery camera record 24/7 on NVR?

    The Google search AI says that Reolink Doorbell battery version cannot record full time. I have wires from my old door bell (18 Volt AC) but I don't know if the NVR can record full time from this camera when the camera is wired? Do I need to get the Reolink Doorbell WiFi version if I want to...

    Event linkage to trigger event on camera B from camera A

    No response here, but no problem because I think I resolved the issue within Synology itself by disabling the specific tripwire notificatons from specific cameras. Case closed.

    Event linkage to trigger event on camera B from camera A

    Is there a way to send a command to Camera B (Empiretech Z12E) directly from another camera A (Empiretech Color4M)? I can do a Send Command Linkage and put the URL of camera B, but I have not found a way to trigger an event. I have read back and forth the HTTP API document v3.26, and even parsed...

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Thanks @wittaj , and what a pleasant price. You actually woke up my imagination. I already have cameras that have a speaker, and an old Amcrest worked fine to test things right away. It works! Are the cameras suggested above any good for speaker purposes, has anyone used them?

    Strange, no recommendations yet. Ok guys, I promise I will buy Blue Iris. JK.

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Here is my deal. I need an IP Speaker to connect to my Synology station and use for alerts inside the home. The camera will be on a cabinet in the living room. For example, when a car or person comes in the driveway I can make a rule to play a sound on the speaker. This can also be helpful at...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Oh, I have learned that lesson. The 0-0.8 used to be my LPR attempt at night which does not work on the PTZ. Now I have a dedicated Z12E for LPR but kept the night LPR on the PTZ lingering at twilight hours, to keep getting some plates with the PTZ. Btw, all cars pass in front of the LPR cam...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Thanks @bigredfish . I will have other cameras to pick up those cars, but was just wondering if there is a trick I am missing on this PTZ. The picture is not entirely bad, it's just that IVS of this camera seems not well trained at night. @wittaj , the 0-0.8 was taken with the sun out, the...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    I can try that. Just fyi, it can pick up cars when the schedule hits my old Night Settings I used to have for license plate pickup: And here is the current night setting (General) that does not pick up the cars (I may need to work on this as you guys are suggesting here).

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    IVS lines, the line supposed to capture it is on the left. I played with that line too, had it further right and thought there isn't enough time for IVS to know it's a car before knowing is crossing the line, so I moved it to the left. The current line on the right is my trigger to rotate and...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Same car detected by Color4M with a small tripwire in the upper right corner.

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    This one is driving me crazy for months. As soon as we hit night hours, the IVS has serious problems to detect vehicles. The same tripwires work fine during the day (mostly), but at night it's like vehicles are invisble. Not sure if there are my night settings which are currently a bit noisy. I...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    My mistake, sorry, I was searching for "micr" instead of "mic". Synology is still all over the place with these cameras. I will look elsewhere in the forum for threads related to Synology pains.
