PoE-forbindelse (anbefales)

The Reolink Duo 3 PoE camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's Ethernet port and the other end to a PoE-enabled switch, PoE injector, or a Reolink NVR's PoE port. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.

DC Power Connection (Optional)

If PoE is not available, you can power the camera using a 12V DC power adapter (not included). Connect the DC power adapter to the camera's power port. Ensure the power adapter meets the camera's power requirements to prevent damage.

4.3 Indledende opsætning

After powering on the camera, complete the initial setup using the Reolink App on your smartphone or the Reolink Client software on your computer. Scan the QR code on the camera or its packaging to add the device. Alternatively, if connected to a Reolink NVR, you can access the camera's settings directly through the NVR's user interface.

6. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Reolink Duo 3 PoE camera, regular maintenance is recommended.

6.1 Vejrbestandighed

The camera is rated IP67 weatherproof, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions. Ensure all cable connections are properly sealed using the provided waterproof lid to maintain its weather resistance.

6.2 Rengøring

Rengør kameralinsen og huset med jævne mellemrum med en blød kludamp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or water spots that may affect image clarity. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the lens or damage the camera's finish.

7. Fejlfinding

7.1 Kameraet tænder ikke

• Tjek strømkilden: Ensure the PoE switch/injector/NVR is powered on and functioning correctly. If using a DC adapter, verify it is properly connected and providing power.
• Kabelforbindelse: Inspect the Ethernet cable for any damage and ensure it is securely connected to both the camera and the network device.

7.2 Problemer med billedkvalitet

• Linserens: Clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any smudges or dirt.
• Opløsningsindstillinger: Verify that the camera's resolution settings in the Reolink App/Client or NVR UI are set to the desired level (e.g., 16MP UHD).
• Lysforhold: Ensure adequate lighting for optimal image quality, especially during night vision. Adjust spotlight settings if necessary.

7.3 NVR Compatibility and Display Issues

Q: Which Reolink NVRs are compatible with this camera?
A: We recommend Reolink NVRs with hardware version Hw_N5MB01, Hw_N6MB01, or Hw_N7MB01. If your NVR's hardware version is Hw_H3MB18, Hw_N3MB01, or Hw_N2MB02, you may need to upgrade its firmware to the latest version for full compatibility. Additionally, for optimal preview, set the main stream resolution to 4096x1536. If the mainstream resolution is set to 7680x2160, the image may not display successfully. Please note that third-party NVR/software compatibility is not guaranteed.
