    Better Camera Placement

    Please check out my kindergarten drawing below and offer some opinions. I currently have 3 cameras placed roughly where the red triangles show. I am now thinking to switch it to 2 cameras in the blue locations. My goal is to optimize view across the front of the house (street) and cover the...

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    I don't understand what has changed over the last few weeks. For some reason, every night, at exactly 00:00, some of my cameras flicker like a reboot and then the IR is underpowered. When they go back to night mode at 18:00 the following afternoon/evening, the IR is good again until midnight...

    Confirm Reolink Models with ONVIF?

    Well after 2 days of fighting trying to get my Reolink D1200 cameras in BI temporarily. I think I have found out that the reason I can get 2 of the cameras (RLC-1224A model) into BI is because Reolink cameras bought with an NVR kit are not ONVIF compatible, but add-on cameras are.
