    Reolink Doorbell with Hik/LTS NVR

    Thank you for the info. Just learned that the Reolink doesn't work with existing door bell chimes so it is out of the question for this particular job.

    Reolink Doorbell with Hik/LTS NVR

    Anyone foresee any issues using the Reolink Wifi doorbell with an LTS NVR? I know the Reolink works well with BI but in this use case, I need it to record motion with an NVR which will rely on Onvif triggers. Thank you

    Newbie here, coming from dreaded Reolink. Educate me

    Thank you. Just found this thread too which was a big help in understanding the shutter speed range in ms vs the fractional shutter speed that I am used to seeing. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/shutter-speed.55376/

    Are these good settings to start with for an indoor camera that is using IR at night?

    Camera for well lit exterior

    Mostly to just see what is going on. There are numerous cameras inside and outside the building so if something were to happen, I would hope there is enough footage to help identify. I am looking to replace some old 720p analog cams on an old NVR but I do have a few IP cams on a BI machine...

    Camera for well lit exterior

    Can I get away with the less expensive 4mp 1/2.9" for a well lit building exterior? This is for a smaller church so of course there are budget constraints. The <$100 price is very appealing. I am in need for 4 cameras for the exterior and 2 for the interior.

    WTB HD-TVI Turrets

    Looking for a few HD-TVI turrets. For use inside and outside at a church. 3 installed in a drop ceiling and 3 in an outside soffit. Currently have domes that look ok during the day but the dome is killing the image at night with IR.

    50+ cam install. Ideal video settings?

    On a bigger camera job with a purpose built NVR (LTS/Hikvision). What are ideal stream settings? H264 vs H265? FPS, iframe, VBR/CBR and bit rate? Thank you.
