4. Alarm and Detection

Set up Motion Detection

About Motion Detection

Reolink WiFi camera determines whether each macroblock has moved by dividing

the grid. When the number of moved blocks reaches a certain proportion of the

number of armed blocks, the alarm will start.

The working principle of motion detection is that camera will judge it as motion

when differences in 2 frames reach 0.5%-10% (customize by adjusting motion

sensitivity) of the image. When the picture changes, the number calculated and

compared will exceed the threshold and instruct the system to automatically make

corresponding process.

detection. And for models such as RLC-510WA, RLC-511W, RLC-511WA,

Time Lapse
Time-lapse photography, also known as time-lapse video, is a shooting technique

that compresses time. It shoots a group of photos or videos, by connecting photo

series or extracting video frames, the process of several minutes, hours, or even

several years is compressed into a short period of time and played as a video. In a

time-lapse video, the process of slowly changing objects or scenes is compressed into

a short period of time, presenting a wonderful scene that is usually undetectable by

the naked eyes.

The process of shooting time-lapse photography with a camera is similar to making

a stop motion animation (Stop Motion), connecting a single still picture in series to

get a dynamic video. It is a means of recording at regular intervals, and reproducing

the slow changing process of the scene with obviously changing images. For cameras

that support time lapse, please set it up with the steps below.

Set up Time Lapse

Warm Tips

The Wi-Fi signal strength of wireless cameras can be interfered with by numerous

factors, such as other Wi-Fi networks around, the distance from the router/hot spot,

walls/obstacles in between, transmitting power of the router/extender, etc.

Make sure that the wireless signal is three bars or at least two bars. One bar signal

is too weak to establish a stable connection.

If the Wi-Fi signal strength is low/weak, you may refer to the following guides to

improve the Wi-Fi signal strength of the wireless camera.

·Shorten the distance between your wireless camera and the router.

·Change the wireless channel on your router to avoid interference from Wi-Fi

networks around.

·Keep the wireless camera away from appliances or electronic devices like a

microwave, computer, wireless router, etc.

·Install the wireless camera to somewhere with fewer walls and obstacles in between

with the router.

·Fasten the antennas on the wireless camera.

·Change a router which has higher wireless transmitting power.

·Install a Wi-Fi extender.
