thanks for the helpful info. can you record video onto the sd card at full 5 megapixel with the same level of compression as an NVR can do? cheers from a total noob.
I have not looked into the compression of the NVR. However however when I took the SD card out of the camera and put it into a computer the recording was in fact at H. 264 at a resolution of 2560x1440 and a bit depth of 6144. In other words it's a very good quality file hope this answers your question.
Thank you for the video. It was very informative. Subbed and looking foward to future content. Quick couple of questions. I am planning on live streaming a feeding station. Would I need a NVR if I am not planning on recording the stream? Also, I am mounting a camera in a tree fixed on a birds nest. Would a bullet be better than a dome for this? Thank you in advance for any advice and again for the knowledge you have already shared.
Thank you for the compliment. To answer your questions no you do not need the NVR to stream however if you're planning on putting the camera outside you will need a poe injector to power the camera. I personally prefer the Dome cameras because they're more Compact and discreet compared to the bullet cameras but that's just my opinion. As far as streaming the camera however that becomes a little bit of a difficult question to answer it really comes down to the streaming requirements of the service you're planning on using if you're going to be using a streaming service I would look into what their requirements are if they need H. 264 or if they need MPEG. Or some other format. Or if you're going to self-host something on your own website that you're hosting at home then you might want to use a software as a server what I mean by that is the camera can only handle so many streams from itself you would need a server that can handle more viewers simultaneously. I would look into a program called ISpy it's a free Windows based camera viewing recording and streaming software. This may help you to use your camera for streaming however this does mean that you would need to dedicate a machine to be on 24 hours to do the streaming.
@@GetNshitDone wow.. Thank you for such a detailed answer. You gave me a lot more reading to do lol. I have built a pretty good computer ( Ryzen 7 2700, 16gddr4, 4tb hdd, 500g ssd, and Radeon Rx580) that is going to be dedicated just to running my streams. That was the main reason I didnt think I needed the NVR. I am really new to all this but from what I read they are just a hard drive with a processor and I have that covered. I was glad you showed us your poe switch. I had only found switches with all the extra ports so having your model number made it easy to find. Time to order a camera and climb a tree.. Thank you again for the videos and answering my questions.
@@jellyfingermd1666 Happy to help. From the specifications you listed I'm assuming that is your main computer I would really recommend using a older computer. Reason being you can throw it in a closet or a corner somewhere and just leave it on as opposed to your main computer which you'll probably want to put to sleep or restart periodically. This is so that you don't have any interrupted streams if you have an old laptop or desktop computer that you don't use anymore. I have many computers in a closet that are dedicated to certain tasks like file serving camera recording and so on. The computers can be a Core 2 Duo with 2 or 4 gigs of RAM and a small hard drive 100 gigs would do just fine. I will make a video and show this space and how I have it configured.
I saw that there was a message from you last week I am out of town would you mind privet messaging me and we can go into more detail about your project. Sorry for the delay
@@GetNshitDone Thank you so much for getting back in touch with me. I hoped you had a chance to see that message before I removed it. I was going out of town and figured I would get back in touch with you once i was able to see what I could get to work. My camera and poe switch came in while I was gone so I am going to hook it all up in the morning. I will jump on here tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I don't see a way to private message on here but my email is Jellyfingermd@gmail.com if you would like to reach me. Thanks again for being so active in helping Everything worked. I used the Ispy program you mentioned and linked it to VLC. Then used OBS to broadcast the VLC stream on UA-cam. Now hopefully weather will clear up so I can get in the tree. I am still watching for a second computer to run the stream but till then I will just use this one. Hopefully within the next couple days I will have some video to show off my progress. Thank you again and again for your help, and email me anytime I owe you lunch.
Try factory resetting the camera I have had problems carry over in firmware updates that where resolved with resetting the camera to out of the box settings. Also make sure the cards your using is at least a class 10. And that is it formated by the camera. What Model of card are you using and what size?
@@GetNshitDone thanks for your help, I finally upgraded firmware to last version, anf format the card into the cam and not from PC, it did the job. Anyway I watched on youtube for many tutos to build cheap NVR with raspberry, and there is a lot of better soft available for raspberry
AWESOME! THANK YOU.
So have you tried with 256GB sd card? Will it detect it as 256GB storage?
No mention of the new ir LEDs, are they any better? The old version are useless
The infrared LEDs are very bright almost a little too bright in some installations with very reflective surfaces.
How do you use this camera with an NVR?, just hook it up to your modem over PoE?

Would you recommend using a little dielectric grease on that connection to prevent faults due to high humidity areas? Thanks
yeah any grease will do to help prevent water ingress
can you fast forward playback?
as of now no
Thank you for you sharing

Sorry this is off topic for this specific video but have you found a work around to use non reolink cameras with a reolink NVR?
no if you want to a open NVR use ispy its a open source nvr to turn your computer into a NVR
Hi I use the same camera with last firmware but it stopped to record on SD card, any idea? I switched to other SD card, same thing
Try factory resetting the camera I have had problems carry over in firmware updates that where resolved with resetting the camera to out of the box settings. Also make sure the cards your using is at least a class 10. And that is it formated by the camera. What Model of card are you using and what size?

I love your video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍📶
Can you show how you record without the NVR
Tp link to sg105 work?
I’m going to buy this camera. Which Poe switch should I use.
Tenda Poe switch.
how many cameras will you be getting ?
2 but I got it working thank you
