Hi All,

I created this topic because didn't see any discussion thread for this Reolink Camera.
I bought a IP Camera Reolink C1 Pro last month. It's working fine.
Pro:
- Clear 4MP video and audio.
- Able to work with 2.4 and 5 Ghz Wifi network.
- Comes with dedicated mobile apps and windows application.
- Quiet movement during pan and tilt.
- Clear night view.
- Able to backup to ftp server. (No need pay for cloud storage subscription)

Con:
- Narrower viewing angle (only 80 degree).
- No shortcut to turn off Motion Detection (only can schedule time to turn off motion detection).
- No motion tracking capabilities like Yi Dome Camera. Yi camera can track the moving object although sometimes it will miss the object sweat.gif
- No auto cruise (patrol) mode to pan/tilt the camera around to monitor different places.

Issue:
I would like to turn off the camera when I reach home (for privacy because this camera is inside my house), but it fail to connect to Wifi when i turn it on again for quite a number of times.
I will need to restart the camera for a few times until it able to connect to WiFi again.
Beside this, there is no physical button and can't remotely turn off this camera. I can only turn off the electric plug directly.
Anyone face similar issue? Any solution?
Thanks.
