    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?

    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.

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

    @bigredfish , you mention in the other thread that IPC-Color4M-T Empiretech corresponds to Dahua IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO. However, that Dahua camera does not have a microphone and speaker I think. So, I don't know which Dahua model the Color4M exactly corresponds to. My Synology has the profile...

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

    Do you guys have MD and SMD on? I have been fighting with every possible setting and just now managed to trigger the warm light on, after enabling MD and SMD. Are these needed to be on?

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

    @bigredfish , how did you make the Color4M turn on the warm lights when detecting a human? I have set IVS and the only Event Linkage I can find is flickering of red/blue lights, there is no option for Warm Lights. The illuminator in camera settings is set to Smart Illumination with Human Target...

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

    My front neighbor got robbed three months ago. I caught most of the arrival and departure of thieves on my PTZ camera. Thieves almost never go through the front door. They go through the back, just like they did with my neighbor, where they broke a back window. So, I have already three cameras...

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

    Hmmm, I never thought about vertical use. Thanks! Truth is also that on the right side of that walkway, right where the camera view ends, there is another incoming path through some steps. The 2.8mm may get some of that too.

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

    I hear you @bigredfish but I have a 3.6 and need more angle to get the walkway more to detect an incoming person sooner. This is the current view, and I know the angle is a bit messed up and needed to be higher but I didn't install this. The other thing I am thinking is that these ceiling views...

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

    Tomorrow arrives my 2.8mm Color4M which I will probably put on front door. @tmxv4128 yours is a 2.8mm too right? I am almost regretting I put a 8mp Color4K on my driveway yesterday, which needs the warm light all night on.

    Any 180 camera with IR + Warm Light + IVS (trip wire)

    Pinging here again if anyone has an idea. I am convinced I need a 180 camera and may end up getting an IR one with 1.8" sensor. Whether or not it has a warm light and IVS is what will make me buy it.

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

    I tried the T54IR and liked it. I am looking to get more cameras, but I don't need the T54IR zoom. Is the Color4M almost identical to T54IR in terms of picture quality at night with IR? T54IR: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C77TNY9 Color4M: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D59WT2ZB About Color4M...

    Any 180 camera with IR + Warm Light + IVS (trip wire)

    Looked at Empiretech and ANNKE 180 cameras, but can't seem to find a camera that has all of the below: 1. 180 degree view, dual lens. 2. 1.8" sensors on each lens 3. IR_illuminator + Warm illuminator when it detects people (my ANNKE FCD600 has this, and works great) 4. IVS rules, I need to...

    Reflective tools to calibrate LPR camera focus at night?

    Thanks. Yes, yours screenshot matches mine, focus is set only in Live view. I am still surprised that focus setting is baked in the schedule profile. Dahua and Empiretech can do a better job to convey this, like put a slider to set that manual focus in the profile view itself:

    Reflective tools to calibrate LPR camera focus at night?

    Where are the multiple places to set the focus? I go to Camera settings, switch to Night profile, and then go to Live view to change the focus, but when I go to Live, the profile changes back to the scheduled Day profile. I can wait for the Night schedule to kick in, but you mention you can set...

    Reflective tools to calibrate LPR camera focus at night?

    I am going to try this later. Fyi, I have S2 and gui looks different from yours. The only place I can set the focus is the Live view tab, I think.

    Reflective tools to calibrate LPR camera focus at night?

    I guess that's what is killing my experience. I thought the focus is always the same, but as soon as I switch the camera to night mode it is blurry as fuck. Then I tune it for night time with a license plate and next day I find it blurry during day. If focus has to be different between daytime...
