Looking for a solution


Question

I have 4 security cameras and two of them are the same brand so I can view them through Blue Iris, but the other 2 can not be configured to view in Blue Iris (technically I can get one with quite a bit of work) but the newest one that I just got is a ReoLink, and due to it being a battery camera it can not be setup in Blue Iris, but ReoLink's software of course can view the ReoLink, but not the others (two of the camera's are outside, and the ReoLink will be outside as well), so I would really like to be able to view all 3 outdoor camera's without having to use 2 different programs.

It appears to just be a limitation of those battery powered units.

 

From Reolink website:  "Note: Accessing through 3-party software is currently not available for Reolink battery-powered cameras to save battery life."

Yeah, I saw that, which is why I was hoping for another solution.

Sorry couldn't be more help.  I'm starting to look at doing something similar now, but didn't realize this being an issue, either, so good to know.  We have a Ring Doorbell, but their controls are kind of lackluster.  I want something a little more full-featured.

    • No, it's probably not the de-specialized edition, but Disney could surprise the 'Star Wars' faithful when the rerelease drops in theaters in 2027. It might not be the big anime-style birthday remake some "Star Wars" acolytes were hoping for, but "Star Wars: A New Hope" will be blasting back into movie theaters to celebrate its landmark 50th anniversary starting in April of 2027. The sprawling space opera is set to hit the silver screen again with a special limited-edition theatrical run beginning on April 30, 2027, and aptly running through the official Star Wars Day holiday on May the 4th. This will be the planet-wide event too, so international Star Wars fans won't miss out. There is a sliver of hope for purist fans that perhaps Disney might pull out an untouched archival print — the original version of the sci-fi sensation that first hit theaters on May 25, 1977 — but it's unlikely that Disney would risk upsetting creator George Lucas. Instead, we'd expect a freshened-up 1997 20th anniversary print to be the star attraction. https://www.space.com/entertainment/space-movies-shows/star-wars-a-new-hope-will-return-to-theaters-to-celebrate-its-50th-anniversary-but-disney-didnt-say-which-version  
    • Those are not rights. Those were special treatments that were taken away that non-trans whatever didn't get. They should be treated like every other person, not special. They can still go get their "trans-affirming" care, they just have to pay for it like everyone else.
    • Realistically how many difficult thinking request does the average person needs per week? The simplest 'nonthinking' model is way more powerful than anything we had 18 months ago. While the average person using these things for? I wonder how many games coding apps I've just thrown together for the sake of having fun or testing. I know I've done it. I think we've got to a stage where we just randomly asking ChatGPT anything even if we don't use 95% of what we ask it. These thinking instances do have a cost, environmentally as well as other resources. As we all know the limits will go up, but I don't think it's a bad start.
