This VorlonCD fork looks neat. I had found one by danecreekphotography to get the MQTT communication which the original was severely lacking. Also makes the messaging to Home Assistant much cleaner. I wanted to do some NodeRed logic in HA before deciding to trigger a camera recording in addition to ...

Not the answer you’re looking for, but when I was trying to lay out my system I was originally thinking of the two NIC approach. Others elsewhere convinced me that a single network is easier to setup and manage and how I approached it. I thought about VLANs but instead went with creating an alias of...

Some quick things to check: uncheck “limit decoding unless required” ensure your camera has a decent FPS I can’t remember the setting but it’s something about the interval to motion check frames The there is playing with the trigger contrast, size, etc I struggled with this exact scenario when I fir...

And ensure your Reolink camera firmware is up to date.

Are you using dual stream configuration? The few hundred kbps makes sense for SD and the few thousand kbps makes sense for HD. Maybe BI is having trouble with that. Maybe it gets stuck trying to motion detect the HD streams? I have my streams individually configured in my setup and only analyzes the...

Here’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask. With configuring a camera as a single dual stream, can you continuously record the SD stream and only trigger recordings on the HD stream?

Ideally it would be a single recording that Upgrades to HD when triggered.

I don’t know about the text overlay but I thought I recall something about overlaying weather so maybe it is possible. You can send a “memo” to a triggered camera and it show the note in the list of triggered events. You can send MQTT messages in both directions. If you’re running HA, I would think ...

For the camera configuration, under Video, is “limit decoding unless required” checked? I had a similar problem of slow/poor motion detection but discovered it was due to that check box. When checked, In most situations it only uses the key (full image) frames. My Reolinks have a 0.25 key frame per ...

Woefully limited in information. Off the cuff thoughts, delete and recreate the camera if all else fails. Before that you can try verifying this: You need both the trigger and the action to record when triggered.

I don't know about your question, but if the CPU usage is a problem, you can try the usual suspects. Direct to disk recording Reducing cameras analyzed for motion Reducing frame rates Doing motion detection only on SD substreams Reducing zone sizes to be analyzed The actual direct to disk recording ...
