I keep auto updates turned off and my devices are unlocked/rooted but google can and still does push out certain updates I can't stop such as Play services components.

My only guess at this point is that maybe Google pushed out some sort of forced background update to Android? Or somehow Reolink changed something even though my app was not updated. So very odd that I can't find any definitive explanation. The only thing I didn't do just yet is remove the NVR and connect each camera to the network directly since my router is not PoE and I would have to supply 12 volts to each camera's barrel connector to test them individually. I swapped out ethernet cables anyway to be sure. The entire time the NVR itself was (and still is) showing perfect video with zero freezing or glitches, so that must eliminate any faults with the cameras, cables, or NVR.

All three Android devices are still showing the freezing. Reset WiFi connections on my tablets and phone. Factory reset my router, reset the Reolink NVR, formatted it's hard drive, reset each camera, uninstalled and reinstalled Reolink app on my Android devices. I was troubleshooting all evening to the point of totally resetting everything on my network. Even while the video feed is frozen, the Reolink app is still indicating bandwidth usage of 6000ish kbps, so it's not indicating data stopped flowing. And 2b) everything else on my local network is working just fine. It's not a local network bandwidth or WiFi issue since 1) everything was working very well previously for a year or more until today and 2) the 8mp cameras are playing just fine while the 4mp cameras are the ones suddenly freezing. Nothing unusual in the logs and my internet service was not showing any unusual bandwidth usage. I was thinking maybe malware or someone was remotely logged into my NVR. Even so, I disconnected my internet service as part of the troubleshooting process and this new issue remained. It's not like I'm viewing the cameras remotely where you might expect to experience buffering or server issues. What I can't understand is just what exactly it is that may have changed since everything is operating locally over my own network. Even recorded video on the NVR is still fine for all cameras, but live viewing through the app is freezing just for the 4mp cameras. No app upgrades took place, no firmware changes, nothing was changed on my end. This is happening on two tablets and my phone, all connected to my LAN.ĮVERYTHING worked fine yesterday. Even while the 4mp cameras are freezing in the app on my tablets.

What is odd is that when watching everything on the NVR connected to a TV via HDMI all cameras are showing just fine. The 8mp cameras are still showing just fine. Seemingly, out of the blue, and with absolutely no changes to my network, settings, or any devices, I'm getting freezing live video on ONLY the 4/5mp cameras. Five are 8mp cameras, the other four are 4/5mp cameras. I have 9 cameras connected to my 16 channel NVR. I've been pulling my hair (and network) apart for the last few hours trying to figure out a very similar problem that started seemingly out of the blue!
