The camera supports three kinds of storage mediums and recordings. RLC-820A can record by scheduled recording, motion detection, and continuous recording. In the Reolink App it does not matter what mode I run it in on, it show perfect footage with audio. Like most things in life you get what you pay for and at the moment here in the UK you can get 3 of these new 4k Reolink cameras for the price of one equivalent Hikvision. When we played the recorded footage, we were surprised that it captured the fine details in high definition. The image quality was crystal-clear and impressive. Plus, we did not notice anything low-quality since the files were not software-compressed. https://store.reolink.com/accessories/ For more information, you may refer to the Wiring Standard of Ethernet Cable

The left and right cameras are just to see what's happening in the street, I have one more camera above the front door which covers my very small garden, but that gives a birds eye view, so not good for DORI.

In Summary:

If the phone doesn't respond, please tap Input UID/IP and then manually type in the UID (16-digit characters under the QR code of the camera). Then tap Next. Unfortunately, I also experience these problems with RLC-820A and QVR-Pro. There's nothing wrong with Reolink's own client no dropped frames or connectivity issues.

The amount of setting this camera has compared to the Reolink, but this is a high price camera, records in 264, 264+, 265, 265+, with less bitrate used but same quality. The camera were mainly for overview of the scene, but there is so many settings, I have to tweak the camera, only installed them yesterday. For those not aware yet, the 833A is a direct upgrade of the 822A, the only difference is that it's in a different shell and adds a spotlight and 2-way audio. I decided to change all my cameras to Hikvision now, I got the DS-2CD2386G2 delivered to see what it was like and the night time footage in colour is amazing, wish I got them first.Staying in the app, these are the settings you can expect to be faced with: Reolink App Camera Settings Time-lapse can record and shorten long-term events like sunrise, blooming flowers, city scenes, and construction projects. Faster, Simplified & Lower-cost Installation with PoE Technology

To make the camera work, you need to use the PoE Switch (IEEE 802.3af, 48V Active) or DC Power (DC 12V1 /2A) to power on the camera. Its been running now for 2 days without frame loss or disconnecting, but I loose audio, no audio in UDP. Do not place the camera in a shaded area and point it towards a well-lit area. Or, it may result in poor image performance. For better image quality, please make sure that the lighting condition for both the camera and the captured object is the same. All these additional elements have made the RLC-520A a bit taller than the RLC-520, but, at its 4.13 x 3.74 inches (10.5 x 9.5 cm), it won’t really matter that much, especially since it will most likely end up being mounted outdoors. I am not entirely sure whether the extra-ruggedness was truly needed, but it’s definitely a welcomed addition. The IP66 rating is still there, so the camera will survive in case it’s targeted by powerful jets of water (powerful storms) and it’s also dust-proof. I doubt that you can put the RLC-520A on a pole, so it’s far more protected against lightning strikes than other devices, but I would still take all the necessary precautions to make sure your camera will survive a lightning storm (add some surge protectors). Easy PoE Installation: Thanks to the power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, this outdoor camera can transmit videos and get power simultaneously via only one network cable. Easy plug-and-play for a reliable connection.True, you get what you pay for, Reolink was the first CCTV camera I used, they were cheap and the footage was acceptable.

PoE means Power over Ethernet, allowing the power supply via network cable. So, connect it to the provided network cable before linking it to your router. To set up the camera, you need to connect the camera to a PoE switch/injector for network connection. After that, you may finish the initial setup via both Reolink App and the Client. Remember, your router should be a PoE-enabled type with Ethernet ports to use with the camera. If your current router is not PoE-enabled, you do not have to worry about it. While writing our Reolink RLC-820A 4K PoE Camera Review, we also noticed the design of this camera. It has a similar build and design as the RLC-822A, so you can expect it to have a minimalist aesthetic. Neither the RLC-820A nor the RLC-810A came with a psu, so keep this in mind. There looks to be a provision for powering them via mains, but it’s not included. I would assume anyone buying these would want POE anyway, but just in case! The 510WA did come with a psu, and will not work with POE (this didn’t bother me, I wanted wireless in this instance).Did you ever figure out the problem / solution here? My issue sounds identical to yours. I am about a day away from returning three of these Reolink cameras for something else (Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2?). See my post here: viewtopic.php?f=187&t=160887No, never did sort it out, changed all cameras to hikvision, best thing I did, no issues at all, and amazing quality footage. Multiple Recording Options: The PoE cam supports to record 24/7 continuously when movement is detected or during scheduled time. Videos can be saved in the microSD card (up to 256GB, NOT included), Reolink NVR or FTP server. Customise the motion zone based on your preferences. Decide where the RLC-820A will detect movements of objects and where it will not. Multiple Recording Options T he RLC-820A uses an on-device detection technology, allowing it to identify people, vehicles, and pets from other objects. Its accurate detection makes keeping a sharp eye on real threats easy and eliminates unnecessary notifications. Flawless 4K Ultra HD Video I just got one of the new 833A cameras, and decided to use it to replace my 820A. I thought it was a good opportunity to share a direct apples-to-apples image comparison.
