Oh wow, I did press the reset button FIRST then power up the RLC camera, WAIT 10 seconds and release the reset button, it works. :)
Before watching your video, I keep doing this: did the power ON and press the reset button 10 seconds (fail to reset).

I have a brand new out of the box RLC-510A that is bricked now. I started off by grabbing the newest version of the firmware, and it updated successfully. Changed the name of the camera, and then went to go change the password, so that it isn't blank. But it won't let me because the "old password" field is blank. So, I do a restore defaults via the web GUI, and then the camera became inaccessible. Tried a hard reset a couple of times, no change. It shows up in the ARP entries, but continues to refuse to connect.

EDIT: The problem turned out to be that in the newer firmware versions they have the web GUI disable by default. Which caused my "bricked" problem when I did a soft reset to defaults. I got the desktop application and was then able to re-enable the web GUI.

Hello, I have the camera RLC-410-5MP, online need to connect to the router by cable, and access via Reolink app that is it? What happens with the power plug of the 3 cables that the camera comes with?

I've tried everything with my argus eco. Worked for 6 months then just stopped connecting to wifi. Reset doesn't work (no sound prompt). Tried to fill out support thing online and the argus eco isn't an option so you can't submit it. I work for a tech company and understand technology really well...we would never make contacting support so difficult for our customers. Planning to slowly migrate to another camera set up.

I have a lot of time for these cameras. When they work. It's when they don't it becomes a problem. Can't get one to reset even though it does reset but the set up voice never startstyo talk to set up ...lucky the E3 was in a bundle deal worked for a year flawlessly. Then decided to stop working. Unplugged. Left for a month plugged it in it does everything but reset...nice camera when work but when it does not it's a pain in the arse.

just bought from reolink nvr 16, have nvr 8, how can I just migrate to 16? becouse I cant see not even one of my cameras, how can I reset all of them remotelly? thx!

Would be nice to actually show how to hard reset each of the device options here.

[cberg]

Feel these were a poor investment. I have 2 that stopped working in less than a years time.
I've done the whole reset process multiple times on each.
They just won't connect anymore to my wifi and nothing has changed. Yeah checked all the settings I'm 2 for 2 on dead devices

Are these cameras safe for use? I’m worried about Chinese monitoring

Hi, I cant access my cameras remotely via Mobile network or any wifi other than my home wifi. I can watch live stream and play back using same wifi which cameras are connected to. Any suggestion how to fix it please? Thanks

[danielwrotny]

My camera (rlc510wa) is hanging high and I cannot access it. Connected via wifi. If I reset via the app will I have to connect to the router by cable?

Forgot password for camera. Camera is not available. Web site says to restore then reinitiate via my phone app. How can I reinitiate if I don't have the camera handy? Don't you have to scan the code to initiate? All I'm trying to do is add it to my laptop app for viewing. My other 3 cameras listed no problem. This one says my password is incorrect.

[arikofoz]

camera stopped working, app can’t connect to camera. I pressed the reset button, but still was not able to add it again without reconnecting it to LAN. have to remove it from the wall and connect to LAN cable in order to add it again. Very poor design.

[mcmuskie]

Mine won’t connect, without connecting this is no help cause I can’t see the tabs you suggest?

[jluisbarrerav]

Helppp! When i put the resset button is just only make a beep noise how i fix it?

[johngreydanus]

But when the reset doesn't even work, that is where I always get stuck at, every support advice simply assumes everything is peachy keen, arrgghhhh!!

My reolink is capturing motion, but its not saving in playback. I have memory on my sd, trigger recording on, restored it a few times, I don't understand. Been fine for months then videos randomly stopped saving.

Edit: new sd and it's working again.. other was no where near full tho.

[LuisRamos-ojfd]

He say press reset and power on and his plug in the Ethernet cable

[FABRIZIOZPH]

What doesn't make any sense to me if that's when you watch this video it is telling you to power it on but it is actually putting the ethernet cable in.. that is not the power cable..

There's no option in systems nor maintenance.
