reolink-fw-archive VS reolinkapipy

After a lot of frustration, I found a solution on https://github.com/AT0myks/reolink-fw-archive. By installing the most recent firmware I found there, all my problems disappeared. Not only did the artifacts go away, but my RLC-510WA also got the same new GUI as my RLC-811A, plus some additional features.

If you're comfortable using an unofficial source, you could go to the unofficial firmware archive and do that yourself. Since it was a big jump from the v2 that you have to v3 (it's a completely brand new UI and everything), I'd probably start with the oldest v3 on there, v3.0.0.59_20081247, then if that's successful try going to the latest.

Your firmware isn't newer than what's on their website, it's actually about a year older. v3.1.0.2217 is newer than v3.1.0.989. There have actually been 5 updates in the meantime. I would suggest looking at the unofficial firmware archive to see a version history.

Maybe try to roll back to the previous firmware if possible? https://github.com/AT0myks/reolink-fw-archive/releases

I don’t have a doorbell but one thing to check is your NVR firmware is the latest. Don’t use the app or NVR to check for firmware. It doesn’t work. Always says up to date. Get you NVR model and Hardware version number (eg mine is RLN8-410 and N7MB01). Also look at what your current firmware version is. Go to site: https://m.reolink.com/au/download-center/ And plug in your NVR details. Update your NVR firmware if there is a more recent version available. I also find this site helpful as it gives descriptions and links to old firmware and the improvements it had for that version. https://github.com/AT0myks/reolink-fw-archive

Yeah, I went back and checked all the old update notes on the unofficial firmware archive and didn't see it in any of those either.

I have recently downgraded it from v3.1.0.1584_22120966 to 3.1.0.989_22051906 (to me the one that works best), with no issues. However I have not found any pointers to the v3.1.0.804_22012406 you request, neither in the unofficial archive or in this sub, beyond this comment. Nor have I seen references to a 'pet detection' feature for that model. As far as I know it is only available in newer versions of certain E1 models. Certainly, I'd be pleased if I could get it for the IPC_523SD8.

Are there any code samples that show the PTZ functionality being used? I am looking at the reolinkapipy but don't see how to make this work. Or is there a better library I should be using?

I want to use the camera with an external API client reolinkapipy, and looks that would be compatible only with "Any Reolink camera that has a web UI should work "

Another thing that makes me to doubt when selecting the proper model for my case, is that it states in the repository of reolinkapipy " Any Reolink camera that has a web UI should work " I'm wondering if for example a model like: RLC-510A

I´m considering to get one RLC-520 and use it with the API reolinkapipy, I was wondering if since I see in the manufacturer site says that they have person/car detection, did you try those functionalities?
