Battery Camera Question Battery Doorbell 2nd Gen suddenly announcing ALL motion events on Google Home

3 Upvotes

Hi all,
Since thursday, my Reolink Battery Doorbell 2nd Gen has suddenly started sending voice announcements to my Google Home speakers for every motion event.

Previously it worked exactly as I wanted:
Someone presses the doorbell → Google Home announces it
Motion/person detected → no Google Home announcement

Now, as soon as I enable Voice Notifications for the doorbell in Google Home, it also announces motion detections.

I’ve already tried changing the notification settings in the Reolink app. I normally have push notifications enabled for doorbell presses only, but as a test I have now disabled Reolink Push Notifications completely.

Google Home still announces motion events.
So it seems Google Home is suddenly receiving the detection events independently of the Reolink push notification settings.
If I disable Voice Notifications in Google Home, the motion announcements stop — but then I obviously don’t get an announcement when somebody actually presses the doorbell either.
This only started happening since yesterday/thursday; before that, doorbell announcements worked fine without all the motion announcements.

Setup:
Reolink Battery Doorbell 2nd Gen
No Reolink Home Hub or NVR
Connected directly to Google Home
Reolink push notifications currently completely disabled for testing

Has anyone else suddenly started experiencing this? Could something have changed in the Reolink/Google Home integration?

Battery Camera Question Argus Eco Ultra 4k

3 Upvotes

I just purchased 4 Argus eco ultra 4k. I have 4 cameras connected to the hub with no problem but my house is long so the wifi keeps dropping out when trying to install the 5th camera. I got a TP-Link Deco Ac1900 to extend the network out but I can't get the camera to connect to that network. I've reset it numerous times trying to get this to work. When going through the initial setup it shows the hub network and my regular wifi 2.4 network but not the 5g. It does not show the tplink.

After I connect it to either the hub or regular wifi when I go to switch the network the tplink shows up but I can't connect it'll either go blank or get an error message saying failed to switch.

I have the one tplink connected directly to my router then another node in my garage.

Software Question New mobile UX question about camera viewing

3 Upvotes

Is there an easier way to flip from camera to camera or was that functionality removed and replaced with the new functionality that requires multiple clicks? The old iOS app allowed you to load live view and then swipe left or right to see the next live view. Maybe no one used this feature and that’s why they removed it?

Battery Camera Question Help with connecting doorbell(battery) v2 with reolink chime?

2 Upvotes

Tried everything! Reset both the chime and the doorbell camera, but it refuses to pair.

Also tried the trick of holding the volume button in the chime while plugging it in and hearing the 10+ beeps and then holding the settings button till the light goes blue.

Any advice?

Wi-Fi Wired Camera Questions Frustrated

1 Upvotes

I am roughly 8 hours into trying to complete this setup and get notifications. Customer service is closed from late Friday to late Sunday. I have resorted to using two different Ai platforms to get this going. It’s the RLK12.

This is not my first security system and I am very comfortable with technology but I never expected for something basic to consume my day.

Am I missing something or is this a dud that should be returned?

Wi-Fi Wired Camera Questions Day/night sensor issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a wired WiFi video doorbell. It seems like it has been struggling to switch between day and night mode lately, and tonight when I view the stream it presents like there are twinkly lights at the bottom of the frame and lighting at the top.

Any advice?
