#REOLINK CLIENT RECORDING IN ZOOM FULL#

If I left the system idle to record without connecting to it, it would use virtually zero bandwidth while still recording full history for a few weeks into the past.Ī side note: I am a few hundred miles away from the cameras. It was set up this way prior to updating the firmware and only seemed to used data while I was explicitly connected to the device, where as now it seems to use data 100% of the time.Īny data being recorded is also forwarded unless you prevent it on the devices and your internal firewall/router. I definitely do have the UID system set up because we are on a mobile phone connection and we do not get a public IP. Hope this helps, and please provide more details if this did not answer your questions. However, I believe this is what is currently taking up your cell minutes. If you do a search, you will see the way to disable this on the cameras and NVR, but doing this often will prevent some people from getting to the devices. I can see the blocked traffic where the NVR is attempting to send the streams to the Internet. I block any external data from my devices going outbound and connect to my system using a dedicated VPN. I would recommend disabling UID and UPnP, but this may impact your ability to remotely manage the units. I would assume this is what is taking up your cell bandwidth along with your remote viewing using the client.

Any data being recorded is also forwarded unless you prevent it on the devices and your internal firewall/router. This feature sets up a reverse proxy/tunnel allowing clients remote access.

This allows people the ability to access the cameras remotely and not needing to use a dedicated VPN, etc. If you have your cameras and/or NVR setup to use UID and UPnP (Default), the cameras send a stream of data being recorded to cloud servers hosted by Reolink.

I think this one might answer the question you asked about data usage.

The default behavior is to record 7/24 but in my case why would I want to record when nothing has changed in the frame for hours? You can look under the "Alerting" section and also set each camera to record (in the section you showed) to "Motion" only. This has greatly cut down on the data being sent over the local network and I'm sure your cell connection as well. I have all my external cameras set to only record when motion is detected and not all the time.

You may also want to just record upon motion events and not all the time if you are looking to save on recording space so you have have more archiving.

With my number of cameras I get about 7 days of recording time. If you do a search on Google, you will find a post awhile back that spoke of the amount of storage a single camera does over a period of time. Not a direct question of yours, but may be helpful. Some also reduce the image quality to extend the record time. Doing this can often double or triple the total storage and recording capabilities.

If you are having issues with maintaining the length of recordings you desire, you do have the ability to add extra local storage to the NVR by way of an secondary (if you have the 16-port version) internal hard drive and or adding an external eSATA drive to the back of the unit.

I'm not really sure of the issue you are describing above, but hope that one of the below ideas may assist. The NVR is a PoE switch as you described, however if properly configured it should also be recording all your camera data which will allow you to go back and preview it with one of their clients or directly on the NVR if you are in the same physical location. Not sure if they answer any or all your questions here, but I will try.

Any one have any ideas why having the NVR continuously record would use data/require internet? Without being able to record history, the NVR is largely an over-priced PoE a few things I can think of right away based on the post above. If you are wondering how I turned recording off, it was in a screen that looked like this:Īny how, our next month of data is right around the corner and I was hoping to turn recording on so we could actually use the NVR we bought.

I tried through some trial and error (after purchasing some over-priced data for the day) that turning off the "Recording Schedule" for my two cameras (PTZ and Bullet w/ zoom) my data usage returned to normal. This sucked! We had just started our month's data allotment. In December we updated the firmware when visiting the remote site and about 2 days later all of our data was gone for the month. The few previous months went off without a hitch! We only used about 4GB even when we would watch the cameras often and scroll through history. We set these cameras up at a remote site (900 miles away from our home) on a T-Mobile prepaid LTE connection with 6GB of data a month. Over Christmas break I updated my NVR (model RLN8-410) to firmware version v2._1447.
