Normally I qualify my Reolink recommendations by saying that they have issues with low light motion smearing, and that they don\u2019t work particularly well with Blue Iris, but neither of those statements seem to apply to the CX810, and in fact it was the highest scoring camera for motion, and seemed to have the best compatibility with Blue Iris, which again, is not something I ever thought I\u2019d say.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/32-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/a3G_2zVu3cU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/a3G_2zVu3cU<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","rec_category":[41,22],"class_list":["post-10364","recommendation","type-recommendation","status-publish","hentry","rec_category-color-night-vision-cameras","rec_category-home-security"],"mb":[],"acf":[],"mfb_acf":[],"mfb_rest_fields":["title","gutenberg_elementor_mode"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation\/10364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recommendation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"rec_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rec_category?post=10364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
