So to give the device a static IP: Find the MAC address in your router, then set it to assign the designated IP. This works for wired AND wireless devices.
I was going to say the same thing. This is called a DHCP reservation. The DHCP server (probably your router/access point) will always assign the same IP when it sees the MAC address.
ReoLink is great budget friendly cameras. Some models have issues with RTSP/ONVIF but you can either reboot if adjusting settings doesn't make it stable enough within Blue Iris.
Work provided that one. It's OK-ish, although I've had some weird problems with it. Occasionally it would intercept network file transfers between my Windows and Linux PCs, and would attempt to print an entire video file in hex code. I never did figure that one out, after a while it stopped doing it.
It looks like Reolink cams have web interfaces. You should be able to adjust settings by going to the IP address from a web browser instead of using their software/app. What NVR are you using?
@@saveitforparts Interesting. I hadn't heard of it. I'll have to check it out. I've been using Blue Iris for a few years. I have a Windows based server running all the time and it is about as good as you can get for cheap. iSpy is supposedly good. Most of the other free ones are linux based and I've had problems setting up a docker environment on Win server 2019 and gave up.
@@trustthewater I have some friends who swear by Linux systems, but I wanted something more plug and play that I could just set up and forget about. Linux always seems to take some amount of babysitting.
So given the location I assume this is part of the Feline Defense Network. When do you install pattern recognition software and your airsoft gatling gun?

Many of these types of cameras allow you to record stuff locally onto an SD card. Not really ideal if a thief steals the camera but many manufacturers include it as a feature.
Don’t waste your time with this product. I spent almost an hour, trying to get it to connect to my router and it wouldn’t. It was sitting right next to the router and still wouldn’t connect to it. On top of that it took multiple tries for the camera to recognize the QR code on my phone.
I didn't have any issues getting it to connect, and I set it up at the opposite end of the house from my router. It's been working great since I put it in, it's actually one of the more reliable cameras I've tested. (I didn't get this one as a promo, I actually bought it).

Thankfully I stumbled across your site. We have the Reolink for outside monitoring and have been very pleased. Great content!

You can set the static IP in the Reolink app or in the desktop program directly to the camera.
Reolink is an actual quality company, not Chinese junk.. I have used their products professionally for quite a while.
i brought a reolink camera for me
thanks! I'm looking for some cameras to put outside.
Not sure if this particular model is waterproof, but I think they do make an outdoor version.
The highlight was seeing you are also a late model HP laser user. I love my 4100

I use a UNV recorder, so far it's been pretty good at interfacing with random IP cameras!

Ha, the AI nerf turret may or may not have been for that, but they just ignored or ate the darts!

Sometimes the fun little stickers are worth it.
I've been wondering about these. Thanks for the review.
I wonder why there is an SD card slot.

I want to ask you, can i schedule the siren ? Example : 23:00-5:00 i want to use siren then after it i want to change the siren into custom sound
It’s really hard resetting this
Umm, how about night vision? That's a pretty important feature.
This one has night vision with IR LEDs. It seems to work pretty well. Still using it as of right now!
My camera won't connect to my new Google phone

Mine keeps getting a static noise on the audio anyone else's the same
I won't connect to my camera
How many $$
I think this one was $40 on Amazon, although I see they have a new model now that's more like $50.
