Some of my clients tell me they hire me because of how genuine I come across. And I come across as genuine because of how I show up on my Instagram feed and stories. I AM a REAL person who runs my business. People already have a huge trust barrier up when they go to hire people online, so we need to do as much as we can to help break down that trust barrier.
Taking bookings via Instagram DM is not professional. Sure, people can enquire via DM with you but you ultimately want to get them over to an email dialogue where you can easily link to your work, and any other important information you need to give them that can help them make an easy decision on whether or not to book with you.
Your website should make it super easy for your customer to identify exactly who you are and your expertise, who you work with, examples of your work, your processes, and a contact form they can fill out then and there.
I also take time to set out clear content goals and what I need to do in order to ATTRACT more of my dream clients. This might mean mapping out new content I need to take so I can post it up on Instagram and start targeting new clients I want to work with.
Hi, I've just bought a RLC-411WS on Ebay to be used as a webcam displaying current weather at my location. Buying the camera was based on what looked like very good specs and the fact that it seemed to be based on embedded version of Linux. I was therefore somewhat surprised when I discovered that there was no way I could access the system from my Ubuntu Linux client. All my browsers (Firefox, Chromium) just presented me with an option to download a Windows client.
I did a portscan just in case you had enabled ssh protocol. That would have made it possible for me to log on to the system and accessing snapshots or videos on the built-in microSD-card. I discovered that you had enabled port 554 (RTSP), 1935 (RTMP), 6001 (X11 ?) and 8000 (another HTTP server ?) in addition to 80 and 443 (HTTP/HTTPS) but nothing that looked like ssh (normally on port 22). No FTP either as far as I could discover.
I managed to get vlc to display the RTSP stream but not the RTMP stream. The fact that I can't administer the camera from Linux (upgrading, accessing files, etc) makes it somewhat useless and I may have to consider returning it.
My question is if you are planning to make a Linux client for the camera ? Or if you have any other ways of giving a Linux enthusiast ways of controlling the camera without the need for Windows or Mac client ?

Hi there. For now the Reolink Client software doesn't run on Linux but you can log in and control your camera on browser. The Reolink IP cameras with the latest firmware installed allow you to log in on browsers without any plugin but Flash player. Please check if you have installed Flash on your browsers.
Yes, you can admin the camera from a web browser on linux, but you can not stream the "clear" or 4k image to the web browser on linux. Big problem for linux users. Shame. I just bought a $250 camera and it can't stream 4k to my web browser???? This fact will certainly alter my purchases in the future.
Hi and thanks for your reply. The issue now is that I have to upgrade my camera with the latest firmware in order to get Flash support and I can't upgrade unless I have a Windows system.
The camera is installed at a remote location (my cabin used during summer) and my plan was to either have the camera send short, 30 secs of video to a server I have or to access the camera remotely in a secure way. Enabling either ssh server in the camera or having the camera use ssh client (or scp) would provide a secure channel for communication.
Would enabling ssh be something you would consider for a later firmware release ?
We are sorry that for now enabling ssh will not be included in the later firmware update plan. We suggest you update your camera with a Windows/Mac computer or contact us through support#reolink.com (replace "#" with "@") and we can help you update your firmware remotely.
Thanks.
Hi and thanks for your reply.
Maybe this isn't the right thread for requesting new features but hopefully you'll bear with me.
Would enabling SMB and/or NFS as a remote file store be a possible candidate for a future firmware update ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I've been trying to run the Reolink client under Wine 3.0, on Ubuntu 18.04. I presume that the NVRs firmware is the latest version, as I purchased it a couple of weeks ago.
I have downloaded an executable DvrWebClient.exe from http://ip-address-of-dvr/. When I execute this with wine DvrWebClient.exe I get a dialog popup with Path Not Found. The only [censored]on is OK, which when pressed exits the application.
When I set the WINEDEBUG=+relay environment variable and re-run the application then, I get a lot of information, however it seems to be having trouble running cmd /c uninstall.bat i, indicating that uninstall.bat can not be found.
As a wine newbie am I doing anything wrong? Has anyone got this working under Wine and if so it would be helpful to know exactly how?
Kind Regards,
B
There are two kinds of client that can be used to add our device: one is Windows Client, the other is Mac Client. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. For the clip issue, could you please send an email to sup...@reolink.com? Our support team will check it for you soon. Thanks.
Perhaps I am missing something. When I connect to my Reolink RLC-420 camera with a web browser, and click on Settings, under System there is a choice for Maintenance which includes firmware update. If the goal is to update firmware in the camera, it seems like a web browser can do that.
Ah, I see now. My focus was on the question by "per". My guess is a native Linux client is beyond the capabilities at Reolink (and, only a tiny fraction of market share so not likely to be a high priority). Maybe instead of a unified solution (one program), there might be more success in separating the "configure" function from the "monitoring" functions. i.e. use the web interface to set up cameras, and use something else for viewing/recording, etc. On Windows, people report using Blue Iris with Reolink cameras.
I know it is frustrating. I simply LOVE the Reolink 5MP cameras. The price/performance ratio is superior to any other commonly available cameras.
... it is really, very sad, that there is no client for Linux. Especially in the age of pretty powerful and video-trimmed minicomputers like a Raspberry 3 or 4, it would be desirable not only for energy reasons, here to use an energy-saving combination of microcomputer and economical display ...
... but that's just my irrelevant opinion ...
Greetings from Germany...

Thank you for supporting Reolink. Sorry that Reolink Client can only work with the Windows and Mac system at present. Thank you for your eager concern about the Linux client support. We will collect and forward those suggestions to our R&D staff, we will notify you if we have the plan to publish the new Linux software.
Sorry for the inconvenience. You may subscribe our emails to get the newest update: -Us. Have a wonderful day!
Maybe (for the first step) it's easier for the developers to make the Windows-client wine-compatible. As me and others wrote, you can run the Windows-client with it, but for me i can't get no video running.
Other native Windows-software running this way, too, and it's supported by there makers, f.e. PuTTY or TeamViewer.
- I have tried all of these Zoom Settings - checked and unchecked all of these. restarted after unchecking/checking each. 'Use dual monitors' in General, Otimpize quality of the video I send with de-noise, optimize quality of the video I receive with super resolution, ALL of the hardware acceleration options, Video Rendering Method -> Direct3D9. 'Use TCP connection for screensharing' Use hardware acceleration for screensharing and to optimize video sharing.
I finally found one-person online that said the CPU and/or GPU will overheat even if it doesn't show that they're maxing out. He told me to frequently check the bottom of the laptop's temperature and see if computer lag correlates with A) Joining a Zoom Meeting and B) Computer lag starting, and sure enough that seemed to be the case.
I only had three days of testing before my new laptop showed up, but once I positioned my laptop fan/heat vents from lying flat on a surface to open air, the lag seemed to be completely gone. The computer stayed cooler too. I'm 90% certain now that it was an over-heating issue. I had the Dell Latitude which after googling is notorious for over-heating when running multiple monitors or other strenuous apps like Zoom.
Sounds like we had the exact same issue, so hope this works for you. I was miserable for 2 months, getting kicked out of client calls while presenting. One week in now without that stress and it's amazing.
Remember that the specific solution may vary depending on your computer's hardware, operating system, and network conditions. It's a good practice to try multiple solutions and see which one works best for your situation.
As mentioned in my original post, I've tried all of those solutions. Internet Speeds are 300mbps up and download, with less than 5 latency. Only person living in the household. I am hardwired into the modem.
