I wasn’t aware when I first posted this, but am now. I’m struggling to get it working though. My automation to record video for person, vehicle etc. events was working but as I read more I learned that, as you say, it should all happen in camera. So, I’ve turned off the automation and nothing is appearing in the Reolink media folder. I’ve been through and double checked that everything is turned on - that I can find. I’m wondering if I need to turn on FTP upload, or if the Reolink HA integration pretends to be a Reolink PVR? My camera is a RLC-520A, with no SD card, which, if I understand what I’ve read correctly, should have this capability.

Edit: I’ve been reading and playing more. It seems the Reolink media folder is just populated with links to the recordings on the camera SD card - which I don’t have. So, I’ve configured FTP upload to a folder accessible to my Jellyfin - I can now view the videos from my phone, PC and TV. That works for now - I’ll keep playing.

I said my hardware was old and I meant it :-)

Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

I just don’t see any reason to upgrade - I feel it’s doing a lot for me and spends almost all the time at least 90% idle. It was nearer to 98% until I enabled Reolink on my Home Assistant VM - I’m running the highest quality stream from the camera, just to see how it performs.

I’ve been using various versions of keepass for ever. Until recently I had the database on Google drive. It’s now local and sync’d with syncthing. It’s a bit “different”, but once you get used to it, it works very well.

Did you read my post, or just the subject? I’m not asking for help, just sharing an observation - just in case I got a bunch of "me too"s.

I resolved my issue by unplugging and replugging my Zooz USB stick.

It seemed to be a hardware issue - the blue light on the controller was out until I removed and replaced it. It’s too much of a coincidence for me though that I just happened to have this hardware issue at the time when the software that uses that hardware was being updated.

I use Vendor/Product ID to access it:

and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza.

I’m no lawyer, but if the law allows for the continued sale of weapons to a government when there is an active arrest warrant for the leader of said government, for misuse of those weapons - then the law is broken.

And it’s not just any arrest warrant - the warrant is issued by the ICC, and the UK is a state party to the Rome Accord, which is the treaty that gives the ICC authority.

I didn’t know all that, I went and looked it up for this comment. The Wikipedia page was interesting reading.

yeah, I need a TPU - my CPU is 5 generations too old

but not really sure what you are doing?

I want to install one of these in a machine that doesn’t have an M.2 slot.
