    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Thank you - I'll try that - or at least I will when I can find out why nothing's on-line on BI!!!!!

    Thank you - but the setting isn't obvious.

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Chuckles - thanks - there's two camera settings in BI and then in the apps, so I was a bit confused. Except there doesn't appear to be a switch - oddly one can set both main and sub-streams parameters but not specifically enable. Reolink website FAQs a bit lacking to say the least - last...

    Sorry, I can't find that setting.

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Has anyone configured sub-streams for the Reolinks? 423 & 520. The main stream string reads /bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user={......} If I add 1 for where there's a 0 the camera doesn't show; if I just replace the 0 on stream I get both main & sub streams identical. My SV3C is...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    Indeed. I agree there's too many variable to narrow down. I did 'bench' test on a 10 metre length and it was reasonably(!) stable, with the same setup through switch and router; after that I ditched reolink's software, to evaluate BI and Security Camera Pro softwares. Between the 423 and two...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    The switch is by YuanLey; [78W High PoE Power] Support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power supply. The whole power is 78W, up to 30W per port. Suitable for poe power supply for multiple devices.

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    Between the switch and the end viewing station there are two powerlines, to get the signal to the house router, then wifi to the viewing station. It's a 100 metre cable and an "at" compatible switch, I don't have the luxury of being able to swap for another set. Any other cables are very much...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    Reolink 423 PTZ. Essentially yes. One PC, indoors, relies on a mixture of wifi and powerline adapter to link through to the switch in the shed. The PC, outdoors linked, as a test, directly to the switch. The switch is a 4-port "at" compatible POE+ - also runs two other cameras Reolink 520...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    Actually that's been tested without any solution presenting itself - it was one of the first checks I did, as I have a PC out in the shed doing other things. Things indoors we'ren't stable, so I wondered if a PC closer would work better. That was pre-BI days using propriety software. As ever...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    OK - worth thinking about. Most of the time things are ok, it's just when it's windy signal suffers. If having an AP bridge is likely to make it worse I'll have to live with or consider alternative. It's 100 metres switch to camera - assuming the manufacturer measured it correctly :D - 2...

    Ethernet Cable Max Distance - Something to Think About

    May I pop in with a related question. I purchased a POE camera, without much knowledge on more than the basics, on the basis of advertised max of 100 metres and installed it at the end of a CAT6 cable. The PTZ is sluggish and the signal is mostly stable, prone to drop out when there's windy...

    Hi all, Recently purchased BI5 to run 4 cameras. 2*Reolink, 1*SV3C, 1*Wansview. A re-furbished Lenovo PC runs the lot, but it took me nearly a week to sort Win10 out! All connected and working, just gently moving through the ins and outs of BI and BITools. Slainte from Scotland Geoff
