Re: Reolink Gotchas

Thank you so much. I've been agonizing over this NO SIGNAL issue for months while working on a commercial install. Over 40 cameras, RLC-410-5MP, and over half had the NO SIGNAL issue. So relieved. Just reprogrammed all cameras and have NO MORE PROBLEMS. Wow. I was using the Reolink Windows Client be...

Re: Half of my cameras suddenly say "no signal"

Changed 24 cameras to in-camera motion. Not the answer. CPU down to about 20%. Now showing 4 No signal cameras after reboot.

Any ideas?

Re: Half of my cameras suddenly say "no signal"

I spent a few hours playing with the BI settings (select Limit decoding unless required, select Reolink camera rather than Generic ONVIF, ensure RTSP port set to 554, set Stream profiles to /h264Preview_01_main and sub, ONVIF source 000, Algorithm to Simple, set back to Generic ONVIF,...) Having the...

Re: Half of my cameras suddenly say "no signal"

Having the same problem. Currently showing 24 cameras on 1 BI5.3.8.17 server with 13 No signal errors. CPU 37-74%, all cameras ReoLink RLC410 and 520 models. I'm running a continuous ping on it now, and I have the ONVIF Device Manager (ODM) running, and Firefox. The ODM is showing an unstable connec...

Re: No Signal on cameras

Same problem, but with ReoLink cameras. I don't think it's your network. I can use a browser or the ReoLink Windows Client and I don't have any problem monitoring the cameras. If you discover a BI setting that fixes this, I'd love to know it. Good Luck.

No Signal

I have 40 ReoLink cameras, RLC-410 and RLC-520 systems running through a large parking area. The cameras all come up and display using the ReoLink Windows client, and I can ping them all. I'm using BI (5.3.6.7) on 2 fast, dedicated servers. Currently 1 server has 24 cameras and is giving me 13 No Si...

Re: Configure BI 5 to use in-camera motion detection

Thanks for the response TimG. I really appreciate the effort. The help file in this case appears to be written by a programmer for a programmer. I'm never going to know this. Perhaps the camera maker will know how to do this. I'll talk to ReoLink. If I can get the settings, I'll put them in here.

Configure BI 5 to use in-camera motion detection

What are the things I should do to use the camera motion detection? I read this from a very old post... "Blue iris can poll the camera and record based on the camera motion detection...you would need to use the find inspect option and ensure that "get events with pullpoint" is checked...

BI defaults for Adding Cameras

Is there a way to change the BI new camera defaults before I add a lot of cameras? I'm putting a new system in and I'd like to be able to optimize BI for performance because I intend on having a lot of cameras on this server. I want to change the camera defaults to include a camera password other th...
