Q1: Can the Recordings Saved to FTP Server be Overwritten?
A: Sorry to tell you that our device does not have permission to delete FTP files.

the function of the FTP server. Some FTP servers support overwrite function, and
you can set on FTP.

Q3: Which PoE Injector/Switch Can I Use for Reolink PoE Cameras?
A: The PoE injector/switch is not included in the package of our product and it’s
not sold in Reolink stores. You may purchase the PoE injector/switch separately.
Please refer to the standards we support below:
For Reolink RLC-423, you need to make sure that the PoE injector/switch
is 802.3at compliant (48V) and supports active mode.
For other Reolink PoE camera models, please make sure that the PoE
injector/switch is 802.3af compliant (48V) and supports active mode.
Q4: Can Two Cameras be Connected via One Cable?
A: Reolink PoE cameras can be powered over the Ethernet cable, and the Ethernet
cable can transmit both data and power.
You may run 1 Ethernet cable from the NVR to a PoE switch, then plug 2 cameras
(up to 3 cameras) to the PoE switch.
However, please don't split 1 Ethernet cable into 2 RJ45 connectors, as 1 PoE port
can't provide enough power for 2 cameras. And also, the Ethernet splitter doesn't
support 2 cameras to connect to network at the same time.
