Hey guys
Looking for recommendations for NVR software that works well with H265.
MUST HAVES Smooth playback of 4k H265 Good App For iOS
Got Synology DS1522+ and hooked up Reolink 811a 4k camera to it. Have to say ran into a few issues while viewing thru the app and even browser, can’t download videos to my iPhone as it has different codec, but no problem downloading H265 videos from Reolink app. VIDEO and AUDIO drift issues as well
You could try Frigate NVR in a docker container and see how it works for you. Easy to spin up. I’m running it in container, passing through my intel GPU for detection, and using hardware acceleration and it works pretty good. Good documentation for Reolink, too.
And since it’s ffmpeg under the hood, you could theoretically output to an IOS friendly format:

TBH it was a little bit of a learning curve for me to get the right config only after plenty of trial and error but I’m pretty happy with how it’s working.
I have Frigate-Proxy set up on HA which notifies on motion. Pretty slick.
