Maybe get this https://usm.ezvizlife.com/item/ezGuard/304.html

Doesn't have facial recognition but , in my opinion , it has something more useful, as soon as it spots something it flashes a strobe and activates the built-in siren.

It's R1800 from Takealot

You mean motion detection. Facial recognition need system which has everyone's faces captured already. Yip that may cost a lot.

However EZVIZ has these dual camera CCTV cameras and it works really great. Has alarm built in as well, together with 2 way communication etc. Its about R2500 a camera and uses Wifi. You get a lan cabled one but I dont see it locally. The ring cameras are great too.

Hi Guys

I finally managed to install the cameras this weekend. Almost went through the roof a few time, too much Milkstout when I decided to tackle this project.

I need some advice. If I set the cameras to full 5MP FPS 25 and bitrate 5120 or 4096 then it lags. I have set the FPS even lower and no improvement besides dropping the resolution.

I havent touches any settings in the router. Literally just plugged everything is.

I have a 200/100 fibre package so I am sure its not my internet or I would like to believe so. The POE Switch is plugged into the router.

I really dont want to drop the resolution.

Another silly question:

1. are firmware of the cameras latest version?

2. Check in pc app the stream type? https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004082573-Change-Live-Stream-Mode-on-Reolink-Client
 
If I go into the camera settings on the reolink app, and choose 5MP and 15fps (same as substream for Blue Iris, not sure this is really needed), it says the default bitrate is 6000kbps. Why are you on a lower setting? Max on mine is around 8000 kbps.

I am updating the firmware of all the cameras now then I will check that out. I am sure I tried 15fps and I still had lag. Hopefully the firmware update will fix it now.
