Reolink is underrated. I installed 2 x12 TB HDs (Seagate Skyhawk AI 12tb HDD 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200PRM 256MB Cache for NAS Internal Hard Drive for DVR NVR Security Camera System AI Application Optimization (Renewed) ). Setup was plug and play. Picture quality depends on the camera. I've got 3 x REOLINK Duo 3V PoE, 5 x REOLINK RLC-1240A First 12MP Vandalproof PoE Security Camera,145° Wide, 1 x REOLINK Video Doorbell PoE Camera and 1 x REOLINK Video Doorbell WIFI Camera. So the picture quality is great, with easy zooming. I used the REOLINK RLA-POECS1, Waterproof PoE Combiner & Splitters to setup 6 cameras. That means less wires around the house. They needed a POE switch so i used Reidubo 18 Ports Gigabit PoE Switch,16 Port Gigabit PoE+ Network Switch with 2 Uplink Gigabit Ports, 250W. All items purchased here on Amazon. Everything works together perfectly. and can get setup just for local viewing or directly to your phone or computer. The Doorbell camera do setup to my Alexa Echo Show. You have to scan the QR code on the back of the camera and set it up before installing. Any of the time lapse or doorbell features that activate on the echo show need to have that setup. The user interface is very user friendly. I bought everything with a dome and most are installed on the wall mounts. Everything is compatible and good heavy metal. So far durable and i waited for sales so absolutely worth every dime spent.

Overall the features of this NVR are good for recording Reolink cameras and playing back video. You have the option to select the events you want to see, people, vehicles, animals, or all motion. The set-up is easy. The one feature that caught me by surprise was that the NVR acts as a DHCP server and reassigns the attached cameras to its own subnet. This causes issues trying to to use rtsp. The software has a defect, when the NVR is rebooted, cameras randomly do not reconnect, which are on that subnet. WiFi cameras always reconnect, just the wired cameras have the issue. I sometimes have to unplug and replug a camera several times to get it to be reconnected to the NVR. I have multiple camera models, and this issue happens with all of them. Update: March 31, 2025 - The reconnection issues have been resolved. Support had me upgrade to the most current firmware. Also, I reconfigured my LAN so that all of the PoE switches now connect directly to the back of the NVR. All of the cameras reconnect now just fine after a reboot. The latest firmware also has some nice enhancements. I am changing my rating to 5 stars.

I mistakenly bought this thinking it had PoE, but realized its better that it doesn't. It has 3 bays for HDDs and I am running 12 TB of storage with 6 cameras, and ready to add even more. It has up to 32 channels which is more than enough even for a business. Been using it for 7 months now and I am very happy with Reolink products. I keep going back and forth if I want to switch to Unifi Protect, but Reolink just makes it SO EASY to use. Once you plug in a camera on your network, the NVR automatically detects it, it asks for its username and password, and then its added to your NVR. CCTV and Security doesnt get easier than this.

We previously owned an Amcrest DVR and upgraded to this Reolink NVR. At this point I have drank the Reolink coolaid so I'm not sure how objective this review is but here goes... First the client software: So, some sticky fingered people stole a trailer from us and our first reaction was to go over our video footage to find the pictures for the police, but the process was agonizing with the Amcrest client software. About every 2 minutes the software would just stop playing and report "Playback Error", AND THEN it would forget it's position so we had to write down the time period on paper to keep track of it. Also, the camera's would constantly switch between 4:3 and 16:9 like every 30 seconds making watching the video even more agonizing! Now you might be thinking network, hard drives, etc right? Wrong, we took the drive out of the Amcrest, put it in this Reolink NVR on the same network and all these problems went away. The Reolink client software remembers where we were watching, doesn't drop out, doesn't switch aspect ratio, and doesn't have a load of other problems the Amcrest client had, like the TINY font the Amcrest would default to on my 4k monitor that made it unusable on that computer. The Reolink client software isn't a panacea of wonderfulness but it is so much better then the Amcrest that I will NEVER even consider Amcrest again. The biggest issue with the Reolink client is you can't go fully headless. Some of the system settings and camera set up options just aren't available on the client so you have to have that connection whether you like it or not. Amcrest could set up everything on the client. I went with a HDMI over cat5 to get the 100 feet of distance I needed from the NVR location...and a blue tooth mouse. I agree with another reviewer who said "It's all about the software" and it really is, and for my money the Reolink has much better software. Expect to use Reolink cameras. We had a mishmash of other cameras (none of which ever worked with the Amcrest) and had hopes that some of them would work with the Reolink NVR. NOPE. NOT ONE! One even crashed that #$%&! thing! The Reolink authentication for ONVIF appears to have serious short comings. Disabling all security got us logged in to one camera but that is what precipitated the system crash. Another expensive camera just won't connect, it works fine with software based NVR's on the PC but not with the Reolink (or the Amcrest). We got rid of it to, I'm sick and tired of 20 different pieces of software to view various cameras. Anyway, that was a major disappointment, we bit the bullet and just have been replacing all our cameras. That includes our Ring doorbell which is saving us 3 bucks a month has all the bells and whistles of the Ring gets recorded locally (which ring could never do) and has a better image then the ring. So maybe this review would be better titled Reolink vs The world! We like the Reolink doorbell so much (which also integrates with our Homeseer automation system) that we are getting two more for the back doors and replacing an over priced battery powered thang that has never worked or integrated with the system. NEXT: We have a second building that had its own Amcrest junkware which we have removed, and ran a cat5 line to the Reolink NVR so now all our cameras across the entire property are integrated into a single source and we can look at them all from one piece of software that we can bring up on any device, laptop, PC, phone, bring it up on the TV if something suspicious happens at night. Needless to say we are happy campers. One of the reasons we went with this NVR is the 48 terabytes of hard drive wonderfulness that keeps months of recordings for us. Provided by 3 12 terabyte hard drives, on my nickel...now we're cooking with gas! Okay so that's it, the Reolink software is just better, is the hardware better? The Amcrest was reliable hardware wise, and we just haven't had the Reolink long enough to determine how the hardware will hold up...

So, I really only have 1 Reolink camera, it's the POE doorbell cam (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7S1HMPC/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams). I've had it for approximately a year now and have been using it with a 256GB SD card. So far, I have been happy with the performance. I have Wyze cams all over the place, but they aren't as reliable as I need them to be, so I decided to start replacing them with Reolink cams. I was debating whether I should get a kit with cameras, NVR and pre-installed HDD or with this one 36 channel. Since I have about 18 Wyze cams, I decided it would be best to get the 36 channel NVR. I bought a 16TB Toshiba N300 Pro HDD (https://www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop?ref=ppx_yo2ov_mob_b_pop&orderId=112-8633424-2744236&lineItemId=jhqmsvmonrmtqups&shipmentId=Qkflgn1S8&packageId=1&asin=B09TQ6ZZPV). Over the next 6 months I'll buy 2 more HDDs. The NVR was super easy to set up, it connected to my camera right away. Having 36 channels makes this NVR great value for the money spent. It connects to the camera quickly and it's picture quality is great. The NVR is very quiet even though it has a NAS HDD.

Great hardware but no point if the software is unreliable Please read so you don't spend days laying Ethernet only to be disappointed by the poor Reolink software. There are issues with push notifications not coming, bad user design, and no warning if a camera goes down. Push notifications I depended on Reolink to alert me in the event of motion. It turns out they are not at all dependable. After four days of proper operation, the app stopped sending notifications. I tested by walking in front and observing consistently that the footage was captured on disk, but no notification was sent. Everything was set correctly, yet no notifications came. I am not a security guard watching the cameras all day. I need notifications when I indicate that they should be sent. Avoid Reolink because their undependable notifications will put you at risk. Poor user design Admins can create accounts for standard (non-admin) users to access the NVR in a safe fashion. Say I want to allow a standard user to receive push notifications, such as a detected motion event. Sounds easy, right? Reolink NVRs cannot even do this simple task. Their customer service says the only way is to let other people login with the admin account in order to enable push notifications. This has been a problem for over two years now, and I doubt they are even working on a fix. Look up "reolink push notifications operation failed". That is right: if you attempt to activate push notifications as a standard user, you get a nice error message stating "operation failed" which is how it has been since 2021. Avoid Reolink because they want you to share your NVR by letting other people login with the admin account. No Video Loss Warning If one of your cameras is disabled, there is no way to get notified of this. You will find out eventually when you check the feeds and have no idea when it went down.

Original: It is a solid NVR after you add a few good brand fans. Pay attention that this is not the model with the poe switch built in. Overall, my disappointment is with their web interface that it only displays one camera at a time and keeps displaying the error "-104 unknown". They could claim to have an app for viewing multiple cameras simultaneously, but it doesn't work for Linux users. They should invest in improving their web interface by adding grid views(that is not a 2 weeks job for a software engineer). I'll continue to update the firmware, and if they add this feature to their web UI, I'll give it five stars. Update 07/12/24: The "-104 unknown" error message appears when I open the web UI and view a camera. If I click "duplicate" to open a new tab and view a second camera, the error occurs(and keeps popping up every few seconds). However, if I open blank new tabs and log in to the NVR in each one of them, the error message does not appear. Update 07/16/24: I recently found the "Enable picture-in-picture video controls" feature in Firefox/LibreWolf. This feature lets me detach the video from the browser, adjust its size, and position it as needed, surpassing the capabilities of a grid view. The only downside is that I still need to open a new tab for each video. Additionally, I discovered the integration with Home Assistant, which includes customizable view grids. With nothing more to wish for from an NVR, I am updating my review to 5 stars.
