can i set this up prior to locating it outside. |
2022-11-24 |
Hi yes its best to do that. As you need to scan the camera and hold it still…. Really good cameras , I’ve got about 6 - 7 of them in all different locations and use one app on my phone to see them all… |

Other Reolink cameras can certainly be set up wherever convenient and then moved to their final location. You will of course need to make sure the camera can still connect to the wifi signal you paired it to in the setup. |

That is easily the best way to set up this camera. When you switch off and relocate it will remember the settings. |

When the spotlights are set to on to get colour night video are they on permanently through the night or just when the camera is activated by movement |
2023-05-30 |
When yo open the settings (cog wheel ) and click on light you have which shows status LED which is On , Infrared Lights which is Auto and Spotlight. Click on Spotlight which brings up modes and shows Night Smart Mode click this and there’s two Options Off and Night Smart Mode which should be on showing a Blue tick and a description to what the action is IE: Automatically turn on when the camera detects an event (movement) at night.
Hope this helps you understand what happens. Regards Trevor |

It’s not a bulb but LED so no you can’t replace it unless you know about electronics, make sure the LED status is on and spotlight is on night mode Auto your find this in settings (the cog wheel icon ) advanced.
If yes to both then try contacting Reolink they might help you. |

Does the camera also have infrared lights? |
2022-12-05 |
The Reolink camera has more lights than you think including infrared . Go to the camera settings ; start at clear 1080p work your way down to turn every thing on . Now click on advance , there you'll find the back light , adjust the light to how you want it . Don't forget to change from auto to colour 24/7 to get the best zoom . There is one draw back to it . Your wifi needs to be the best or it will drop out without warning .... |

No, it’s not an infrared camera as it doesn’t show heat radiation, but it does have a clear black and white night view and the motion sensor spotlight brightens up the area for a colour view at night. |

2022-10-22 |
Check detection zone and sensitivity in settings. Ideally you don't want a zoned area and sensitivity to medium. Also check height and angle of pir. It should be single garage apex height maximum and angled down slightly. I get at least 20yard activation with this. |

My Lumus camera detects up to 30 ft even at medium sensitivity.
Three things to check:
1. Make sure the detection zone setting has not been shaded in meaning camera cannot detect over 10 ft.
2. Change orientation of camera in case light source is affecting sensitivity.
3. Check WiFi strength, I find cameras need above 20 Mbps to operate effectively. |

Hello. The PIR Detecting Distance for Security Camera Outdoor Reolink Lumus is adjustable, up to 7m (21ft). There are three levels of PIRu200b u200bsensitivities: u200bu200blow,u200b u200bu200bmid,u200b u200bandu200b u200bu200bhigh.u200b Each level has a corresponding PIR detecting distance or PIR detecting range. For different objects, there are also different detecting distances. If you feel that the detection distance is not up to expectations, please feel free to contact us via Amazon message for further assistance. |

no the camera will still record when triggered as long as there is power to it. The only issue is you will not be able to view the footage without WI FI . You also need WI FI at the camera end and also your smart device eg phone / tablet to view footage live . The only way to view what is recorded is by removing the sd card when you get home and plug it into computer or a device that will read it. |

I don't turn off my wifi so I don't know. The main reason I keep it on (wifi) is so I can dial in and look at the live streaming video on my camera which you are unable to if you turn it off. Also it is the normal route to reviewing and downloading your footage. Otherwise you have to climb up and disturb the camera and remove the card. Better (IMHO) to leave the wifi on ! |

The answer is YES.
Which I hade never thought about. But I switched off my Wifi hub, stood like an idiot waving my arms at the camera, which light came on as I did so, and then checked the recording via my phone network. It worked and recorded well. |

Hello. Yes, this home security wifi camera Lumus can still record to the SD card when they detect a movement even though there is no internet access anymore. However, without a router/internet, the cameras cannot be accessed via the Reolink APP/client. So you will have to recover the wifi for the camera to check the recording. |

It’s motion. But I have trees either side of the path and my camera doesn’t pick them up but will pick up a person or car either side.
You can change the sensitivity of the camera.
The other Reolink one I have you can actually blot out areas you don’t want it to pick up so you could blot your trees out. |

It does need mains power as it has a spotlamp and alarm/sound function. Ideally, for security reasons, you want that power source to be internal to the property, to prevent easy disconnection. The camera connects to the NVR wirelessly (or you could use the SD card) for picture recording/viewing. |

The cable is permanently attached to the plug/power supply. With some of the other Reolink cameras you can power/charge the internal battery in them from any standard USB charger/power supply so that might be an option (or you could get the solar charger, which we are using on some other Reolink cameras). |
