    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/

    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.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Gotcha, That's what I would thinking. Would need that for most circumstances, but fortunately for OP, he said its in a cul-de-sac. Thanks for the info

    What am I doing wrong?

    No OP. A few responses here that specify needing two cameras. What is the purpose? One for day and one for night? or are you referring to an LPR and an overview cam?

    Reolink, Can't connect to UI.

    I have had a Reolink camera working with BI for the last 2 year. I experience the occasional no signal issues that are notorious with these cameras but a reboot usually fixes it. This past week BI shows the camera off line so as I usually do I go to the IP, sign in and reboot. Except this...

    Day/Night for LPR

    I will play around with the shutter speed. Thankfully I don't have to deal with motion. The car parks for about 30 seconds to unload expired food and then drives off.

    Day/Night for LPR

    Got him! Although dark, LPR was 86% confident of the plate number too. What settings can I change in the camera to help lighten this up for the next capture? Available settings from the camera menu are attached. THANK YOU!!

    Day/Night for LPR

    I installed the camera that I linked. But haven’t had a great chance to dial it in. I had someone stop by the other night and the image was pretty decent. The perp also hasn’t been back yet. Ha.

    Day/Night for LPR

    I read a lot of your posts. Thanks for being such a great contributor. I tweaked some settings, time will tell. This is a 4mp, 4mm LTS dome, I'm sure its not ideal. I also have one of these that I can try. The 12mm might get me a little closer. GW5050IP 5MP IP POE 4X Optical 2.8-12mm...
