I’ve been using this PTZ camera for over six months, replacing one of my fixed cameras in a system of twelve Reolink cameras. Since it was a direct replacement, installation was quick and it integrated into my existing setup without any issues. The app has also remained stable throughout use. I originally added this model mainly for the PTZ functionality, allowing me to remotely check different areas of my property. This has been especially useful for things like confirming Christmas light operation in winter, checking where deliveries were left, and monitoring the property during bad weather when I’m away. The PTZ controls are responsive and easy to use, and the zoom feature is particularly helpful for checking details at a distance. For example, I can confirm small things like whether a key was left in a shed lock without having to physically go outside. The image quality has remained consistently clear day and night, making it reliable for general monitoring. After being satisfied with the first unit, I purchased a second one for my backyard. Installation was just as straightforward, again as a direct replacement. With the added range and movement, I now have better visibility of areas that were previously out of frame. The only real consideration is the weight. While I don’t personally mind the larger size, it is heavier than standard fixed cameras, so a solid mounting point is important for secure installation. I’ve been very happy with the performance so far and plan to replace another fixed camera with a third PTZ unit. For my setup, it has been a clear improvement over fixed cameras in terms of flexibility and coverage.

These cameras are awesome . I am not aware of another home or small business cameras that even come close to these , Have tried other competing company products and was gravely disappointed. For a time I had the major home security company install their cameras and they told me they were installing the same cameras banks use NO WAY/. A huge problem with other cameras is missed video they just do not capture important events so what is the point. Everything on these cameras all advertised features are as advertised . The only consideration that these cameras do not have a person might want depending on your situation is night camera capability these cameras must have some ambient light . Which the built in spot light and infra red do provide . The zoom tilt pan features are top notch . If you are at all D I Y they aren't difficult to install I ran the cable trenching some of it and even though I am not a tech person was able to handle the connections to the NVR which is simple I managed to get hooked up to TV and Computer Have not yet tried phone app. I at one time was a government security officer and can tell you these cameras are very close to the function and capabilities of the cameras used by the government security systems . These cameras do not miss anything with 24 hour recording and the ability to view only alarm points or to literally view every second is fantastic the picture quality is extremely good . For the money paid if you have serious security concerns this is a serious camera and a very good value for the money . Quality is going to cost however I do feel at this price point and the high quality of these cameras it is a great value . I have had this system in use for several weeks now and simply have found them to be a professional level camera and hugely better than so called professional company installs. I do believe the sound quality good however my location presents problems with a high volume of background noise and wind yet mostly can make out voices and what is being said so considering the local I do think good sound quality. Without reservation I can feel very comfortable to recommend these cameras . They have been reliable and are high power . I should add the patrol feature is really a nice feature along with the auto rotate and being able to set schedules a lot of programming choice which is easy to use. The only related subject I am a little uncertain about is customer service Firstly I would highly recommend to them to enclose an instruction book their is a quick start guide .Instructions on how to use the system to me is the one weak point . I went online to website to use chat for help with how to configure the computer set up which for me was the most difficult part . I literally got abandoned during the chat . Waited somewhat over 10 minutes with absolutely no response back from them . In fairness to them the next day I did receive an apologetic E mail explaining they became overwhelmed with customers reaching out so that much is a plus. However still leaves a sour taste . So that brings me back to good old fashion instructions would be a huge asset in my opinion and that is my personal complaint most all tech related companies . Again they did initiate a response to me offering tp pick back up on chat with assistance and I have never experienced that before . So all said I will go 5 star because they have by far the best home owner small business security system I have been able to find the performance of this system is light years ahead of their competitors at least to date that is my experience. Yes you can most def. go cheaper but will have poor quality and if your investing in security this is an affordable professional quality system

I have no regrets purchasing this camera. The setup and configuration are straightforward; however, I suggest updating the firmware immediately if you intend to use FTP, as I struggled to get a connection until the camera firmware was updated. The other issue I noticed was with auto-tracking; if the subject being tracked moves diagonally towards the bottom corners, the camera fails to continue tracking more often than not. I think that the patrol function is great and very useful; however, the ‘panning’ motor noise is quite noticeable. I also noticed that when the “Auto return to monitor point” is disabled to use the “Time Lapse” feature, it sometimes doesn’t function even though the app shows that it is enabled, which requires a reboot to restore the auto return function. Other than these minor bugs, the image quality is great even at 16x zoom, and the build quality is fantastic. I rate this item as a recommended buy.

The concept of tracking objects is great, however in our case we have a busy highway across the top of the field of view. We have masked that area out but once it starts tracking an object it'll watch it and start moving around. When it moves up at all the highway becomes unmasked and it'll start tracking cars. It would be nice to do a max-track time or if the mask logic could be applied when it moves around. It's currently fixed and zoomed in on the main driveway of our entrance and it works well for seeing people and cars but the tracking would have been nice. Also another slight annoyance is it does not change zoom/focus when tracking. It would be nice to actually zoom into the object in full screen and remain in full screen as they get closer. In our case we're at like 12x and if they walk closer you end up getting a blurry shirt.

Where to start... The pendant mount is innovative that you can adjust two screws and rotate it from a 90degree elbow to a straight hanging pendant, BUT it is very loose and the screws don't lock the mount firmly, so when the PTZ is moving the rotational mass of the camera causes the camera to jiggle. Wrapping the post in packing tape made it more rigid, but will fail over time outdoors. The camera has issues with auto tracking, unlike the TrackMix PoE. The trackmix does an EXCELLENT job tracking objects within the FOV of the camera and not losing tracking. This camera routinely lets cars slip by. It makes one PTZ movement but not far enough and the car speeds out of the FOV of the camera. Even with the camera at minimum zoom, it struggles with cars. People and animals move slower, but I have noticed walking up close to camera a person can escape the auto tracking (same object thresholds in ReoLink settings), where the TrackMix looks down and pivots to track them much better. The sound of the PTZ servos is very loud in the audio stream vs TrackMix that is very quiet. The camera zoom is slow, and the camera object tracking does not zoom onto objects unlike the TrackMix that zooms the framing of the image (albeit a digital zoom). The zoom level on this camera remains fixed. Camera focusing is slow and inaccurate. It has a tendency to zoom and then HUNTS for focus much longer than Sony or other CMOS CCD's. The image quality is worse than the TrackMix in dark lighting with more artifacts, DCT blocking, video noise, etc. I am using H.265 at max quality and 1x iFrames with CBR, so it "should" be the max quality the camera sensor can provide. I will try H.264 to see if it's a CODEC issue and update review if I find anything that improves the video. As it is, there are strange buzzing patches where the image looks like strange pools of shimmering / random noise artifacts in areas of the image depending on the lighting condition. I have a TrackMix mounted 20' away and it is very good quality and none of these issues other than the fact the TrackMix is a fixed focal length camera, this camera has analog zoom but it's slow and has trouble maintaining focus through the zoom range until zooming is paused. Given the excellent performance of the TrackMix PoE I was hoping for more with this camera. The video artifacts and inability to maintain track on passing vehicles basically kills my recommendation for purchasing this camera. I would recommend the TrackMix unless you absolutely need a higher zoom level. UPDATE: Switching to H.264 CODEC helps with the quality of the video and restarting the camera seems to have removed some of the artifacts. I am running the clear stream only now vi blue iris as the fluent sub-stream always looked too blurry even for the preview video. Maybe it puts less load on the camera only sending one HQ stream. Also during the focusing the camera clicks and chatters very audibly while it hunts for focus. If you are using blueiris, you should set the key frame interval (i frames) to 1x, max bit rate, and CBR to improve motion detection in blue iris. I am running the latest available firmware which was already on the camera. The auto tracking PTZ function also disables the tracking if you send a PTZ zoom change, so if you see something you want a closer look at you will have to track it entirely manually if you need to adjust the zoom during tracking. Another difference from the TrackMix is this camera doesn't return to a "home" position after auto tracking, it returns to the last manually set position of the camera, not a PTZ preset though, its just wherever the camera was pointing when you last sent a manual PTZ command. The low-light quality of this camera is much more sensitive than the TrackMix. I don't know what the lux rating is, but surely the larger camera sensor and large lens brings in a lot more light than the diminutive lenses on the TrackMix. With the two cameras covering overlapping zone and both sending IR illumination, the usable distance exceeds 100' which is pretty good. The RLC-823S2 might have more powerful IR emitters as well. I hope ReoLink can fix some of these issues with firmware updates. The focusing algorithm needs an update. The auto tracking needs to have a return to "home" after delay setting like the TrackMix, and the auto tracking needs to do a better job of tracking faster moving objects when the camera is at anything above 1.0x zoom level.

I’m extremely impressed with the Reolink RLC-823S2! The 4K image quality is outstanding — every detail is crystal clear, even at night. The 16x optical zoom works flawlessly, letting me see far-away areas without losing clarity. The PTZ control is smooth, and the smart detection for people, vehicles, and animals is very accurate. The color night vision with built-in spotlights really enhances security around my property. I also love the two-way audio for quick communication. Setup was simple through the Reolink app, and the 24/7 recording gives great peace of mind. Definitely one of the best security cameras I’ve owned!

Decent camera, large camera, cobbled by lack of basic features and frustrating and bizarre software. 1. Resolution is good, nice zoom feature for live view only, but a super limited field of view. It's so limited that unless you mount this camera in a defensible corner vs a flat structure like front of a house/garage, it will miss quite a bit. 2. Doesn't take much for a simple genius to walk in at a side angle to the camera to defeat the reason it's there, simply because the camera has no side detection - it won't pickup/track any object (vehicle, person, animal) unless that object has already passed through the camera's detection cone. I have 2 Eufy cameras that have built in 180deg detection - if movement is detected outside the camera lens field of view, the camera will pan and tilt towards that movement. 3. This part is just baffling and annoying - Reolink software has a metric ton of controls, but no configuration backup feature. While you can easily reset the unit to factory defaults (see my screen cap), you can never backup or restore any custom settings. Kinda sucks because when the camera occasionally gets out of focus for instance, I have to refer to of all things, screen caps of each device setting screen to reset PTZ values. In 2026 we're still using 2005 software LOL! If you need a camera that is highly visible (no one will mistake this for a childish Ring camera), will cover a narrow area, and has good resolution, this unit is a great choice. If you need a camera for security purposes, can detect threats even along a a flat wall, and is managed by software that includes a backup feature, look elsewhere. I'll be using the factory reset in a few weeks though, right after I replace this camera.

I had a problem with the controls on this camera, one camera out of 7 and a NVR - 3 PTZ and 4 stationary. While getting support took a lot of troubleshooting with the Reolink team to make sure it was actually a faulty PTZ camera, they sent me a replacement camera in the end. The cameras are very well made and have pretty stunning picture quality, tracking quality, and great notification abilities. There are many great settings such as painting exclusion zone for unwanted areas and pet, person and vehicle detection. You do have to keep spiders away from the cameras or you will get false person and animal detection from the webs. It would be nice if the cameras could somehow differentiate spider webs but I understand this would probably be very difficult from a software perspective. Great system overall and you are not required to purchase cloud storage to get advanced features like a lot of the other camera systems like Blink which is a big deal for me. I hate spending a ton of money on a camera system to get totally extorted with a monthly fee just to use all the features like Blink does to you.
