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 Reolink Client. With regards to voice controls, only support for Google Assistant is available on either the Reolink RLC-810A or Reolink RLC-811A. You can go ahead to set up your smart device with either camera. b. If you can’t find the corresponding model for Model settings, just use the first default *model, no modification is required, and the model is not required to be correct. The RLC 810A (4.0 mm) has a lens specification of f-4.0 mm, and F-2.0, while its field of view is 87° to the horizontal, 47° to the vertical, and a 30-meter night vision distance.

Do not point the camera toward a glass window. Otherwise, it may result in poor image performance due to the window glare from infrared LEDs, ambient lights or status lights. a. Cameras with a resolution of 8MP and above can only use the sub-stream to live view, because when you use the Reolink protocol to add a camera, you actually use the RTMP protocol, while RTMP does not support the h.265.As we review the Reolink RLC-810A vs. Reolink RLC-811A, you will get a full understanding of both, and in the end, be able to make an informed decision. Step 7. Tap on “ Set up Device”, you can choose a Group for the camera or you can SKIP this step. Tap on “ Continue” to finish the setup. There are several features you can configure to get the most out of your camera. You can configure motion detection notifications for humans, vehicles, and pets, as well as motion zones. The 24/7 recording option is also available, and both camera models support Reolink NVRs. The RLC 811A uses PoE (Power over Ethernet), so you do not need to position it near to a power supply to use it. Run an Ethernet cable up to 330ft in length to the camera, connect the Ethernet cable to a PoE injector and connect the PoE injector to a power adapter inside your home.

An SSL certificate can still be enforced for external connections, by, for instance, using the NGINX add-on or NGINX Proxy Manager add-on instead of a globally enforced SSL certificate. As you can see, even though its FoV isn't that much larger, it does cover a decently larger amount of area both to the right and and bottom of the image. To help compare the fields of view of these, here's a comparison of those last two pics with the 1212A scaled down to the same resolution of the 811A: https://imgur.com/a/eES2owj Now that either the Reolink RLC-810A or Reolink RLC-811A has been integrated with the Reolink app, you should already be seeing the Livestream from either camera. You can begin to play around with the camera’s features and settings.In some camera models, there is a delay of up to 5 seconds between the turn-off command and the sound stopping. The siren turn-on service supports setting a volume and a duration (no turn-off service call is needed in that case). Switch entities

The beauty of optical zoom is that you don’t lose any quality. Where and when it’s useful will depend on where the camera is mounted, and what you want to capture. The latency for receiving the events is the best for ONVIF push and the worst for fast polling, the fastest available method that is detected to work will be used, and slower methods will not be used. The camera may work in extremely cold conditions as low as -25°C as it will produce heat when powered on. You may power on the camera indoors for a few minutes before installing it outdoors. If an entity listed below has an asterisk (*) next to its name, it means it is disabled by default. To use such an entity, you must enable the entity first. Number entitiesIf you just receive your new camera and are not familiar with the camera, you can have a look at the video below about unboxing, setup and installation of the camera. You’ll need to provide your own PoE injector or use a switch that provides this, but at least you cut down cable clutter to just a single Ethernet cable. Reolink provides a waterproof connector for the Ethernet connection, which screws into place. It was a little tight to fit around the connector on my long Ethernet cable. Hanging next to both of these inputs is the reset button. Press and hold this, then add power to the camera, and it’s reset to factory defaults. It seems a little crazy to make this so accessible. Then power up the camera while pointing it at the QR code. It takes about a minute to initialize, read the QR code, and connect to your Wi-Fi. Showing the camera in the dashboard Even though the Reolink RLC-810A is an 8-megapixel camera, it does not have spotlights and this may be a deal breaker for you.
