  • Works good, Recommended... but a few issues...
Style: White-2.8mm
UPDATE: So, originally gave 3 Stars due to the issues mentioned below, most of the problems still apply, but honestly, I don't think you can get a better camera on the market. I spent literally days on end researching these cameras, hours and hours, and I found the Reolinks to be the ONLY actual "reliable" ones and made well. So, despite the below-mentioned issues, I HIGHLY recommend these cameras. I also recommend them because Reolink's customer service was excellent. They fixed the issues I had that they could fix (and forwarded the rest), and for upgrading my star they even sent me a free power adapter (though I made that offer, they just asked if I would upgrade my star, but they bent over to help me, so you can't beat that kind of customer service). While it is too late, bought the switch/injector already, I still want it as a backup and if I need to use it in other situations, etc. So, still very happy with that. Anyway, despite the flaws, I'm VERY happy with the Reolink product, and my research also demonstrated that. So, you can't find better than the Reolinks in Camera quality, image quality, features, and customer services. So, I give them 5 Stars for doing whatever they could to help...! PREVIOUS REVIEW: (with a couple of updates) 1. They don't allow you to use the "Cloud" with the POE cameras, apparently only the "wireless" or whatever cameras. That's not fair. I would have gotten one of the wireless, but I wanted reliability, thus a wired connection option, so I had no choice but to go POE. I'm just using one camera, so I should be allowed to use the Cloud also. 2. The Motion Detection doesn't work well... I have it set to high, like 75% which was the default, and I have the camera in my room. And the camera apparently detected "light" changes that came through the window. The camera isn't even facing the window. It detected "shadows" on the friggen WALLS or something. So, I had to put the motion detection lower. We'll see how I low I have to go, I'm testing 50% now. UPDATE: 50% seems to be working fine, no more false positives save I think one for some reason, which is okay. 3. The firmware update was confusing... They have apparently two versions of this camera a "B" version and a version # that has no "B" in the middle of the #. Though, it looks like they fixed the firmware update article and the update. UPDATE: Looks like they fixed this and I was able to get the proper update thanks to support. 4. I almost thought there wasn't a way to activate and deactivate the camera, but I finally discovered the "Scene" function, so I create activate and a deactivate scene options. However, I don't understand why they don't also provide a "Camera Off" function. At least in the Android APP they don't. In the Desktop App you can "disconnect" the camera which I guess serves like an "off" switch turning off the camera, but we need it in the App too. Though, I also don't know when you shutdown the Desktop App whether the camera comes back on or not? I'm going to "assume" it actually remains off? But still, we need a setting in which the Camera is totally shutdown in all Apps. Otherwise, all seems to be working so far... They do really need to give us single-camera users access to the Cloud also. That's just not fair. I thought I was able to have access, so that wasn't clear either. And I likely would have gotten the E1 Zoom or whatever, but I wanted to ensure a reliable connection, was disappointed they didn't provide a "wired" ability to that camera. That would have been my preferred option since I only need one camera for my current situation. P.S.... Oh, one other thing.... The camera didn't come with a "Power Adapter" (and there is a plug for it).... I was forced to get a POE Injector, which was a pain trying to figure out, they don't make that easy either as to what and how to do it, and it's easy to get the wrong thing and unnecessarily expensive switch/injector too. But, at least the one I got was cheap and is working. I got the "IPCamPower Mini POE Injector Wall Wart Plug | 802.3af Full 15 watts | Designed for IP Cameras". You have to make sure you get the right rated switch/injector, and that it's an injector, not just a switch etc. The information was seriously lacking in this area that needs to be improved. Worse... On their website they had some power adapters you could buy, but NONE of them said they were compatible for the RLC-520. So, I couldn't even buy one. Also forgot to mention they don't provide a way to DELETE recorded scenes.... I mean what is that? Can't do it in the App nor the Windows App. You have to Re-Format the entire drive to delete videos. This is a big flaw too... ... show more

  • Very Capable Camera
Style: White-4mm
I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a new camera at first, but I quickly moved past that once getting this thing all set up. First, set up was very easy. I am not using PoE (yet), but I have plenty of 12v power supplies laying around. Make sure you get one that can provide plenty of current (I can't say a minimum as the one I'm using can provide 30A max, so...). Getting a RTSP stream was easy once I figured out how I'm supposed to do it. Make sure you download the REOLink client app if you're interested in streaming. The mobile app is good for most users, I would think, but my plan involves OBS and FTP. Very clear picture quality, but that will also depend on your home network. I plan on moving away from the app and setting up a closed circuit system, with the only outside access to the video feed being the software that's getting video from the camera. Currently, using OBS for any streaming, and TrueNAS for FTP. Need to mess with detection settings and all that, but I think it's a very capable camera for a very affordable price. Planning on purchasing a few more to complete a good home surveillance setup. ... show more

  • Easy Install, Reliable and Useful Camera set
Style: White-4mm
Physical installation is straightforward. The Reolink system and app do a good job at differentiating between human, vehicle and wildlife thus avoiding unnecessary alerts when movement is detected. I'd definitely recommend Reolink for home security cameras.

  • Love this camera! Can be used indoor as well
Style: White-2.8mm
After moving into my new apartment, I wanted some indoor cameras to watch my dog, know when the dog walker gets there, and just for security reasons in general. I've tried quite a few cameras already and had issues with each one. The Wyze pan cam had bad connection to WiFi, delays in audio playback, the recording started way too late, and the cameras would just turn off on me and I wouldn't be able to remotely turn them on unless I was home to unplug and plug them back in. I also tried the Amcrest 2K WiFi cameras thinking it'd be a step up, but returned them right away. The picture quality was nowhere near 2K and the app was horribly clunky. These Reolink cameras though, have been impressive and seems like a winner. The things I was looking for most in a camera: - Great picture/video/sound quality - Up to date and easy to use app - Preferably POE or at least dual band capable since apartment WiFi could be tricky - Affordable - Easy set up and portable - Panning camera - Micro SD card - Video playback through app After lots of research, I saw that Reolink was highly recommended and it hit most of my checklist. It took a little bit to physically set up the camera. Instead of drilling them into the walls, I just used command strips around the bottom of the camera and they've held up really well. Since these don't pan, I had to manually adjust the cameras to angle them how I wanted to (definitely would've been easier with two people). Make sure they're adjusted before you screw them in because you can't change it after. Set up on phone was really easy too. The app was self explanatory and had a lot of options to configure to your liking. After using it for almost 2 weeks, here are my observations: The good: - Great video/audio/picture quality. I can see everything clearly and there's no audio delay. I can hear everything from the other side through the app - The recorded motion clip starts well before the motion starts and you can choose to have it stop recording from 15 seconds to 1 minute after the motion has ended. - You can choose sensitivity based on time throughout the day - I messaged their customer service with questions about features and some troubleshooting issues around 10 PM and I woke up the next morning around 7 AM to a response already with answers to all my questions, not just some generic response. Customer service is absolutely on point! - Night vision is super clear - POE is awesome and have had no connectivity issues The not so good: - There is no cool down period like other cameras, so every time you walk past the camera, even if it's just a few seconds apart, you will receive a notification for it. - Only motion detection is recorded on the SD card, you can't go back and watch all footage throughout the day - No way to turn the camera on/off through the app, it will manually need to be unplugged - Camera changes from day to night vision frequently and triggers motion alerts - When clicking the motion alert notification on your phone, instead of taking you right to the clip, it takes you to live view. You'll need to manually go to the playback and choose which clip to play. Overall, fantastic camera for an amazing price. Couldn't be happier. ... show more
