REOLINK 4K Home Security Camera, 2.4/5GHz WiFi Outdoor Camera, Plug-in Power (DC 12V/1A), Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Color Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, 24/7 Recording, IP67 Waterproof, RLC-810WA

I've been using Reolink for many years and have used an assortment of their camera models, both wi-fi and POE. The phone / iPad app is xlnt and user friendly. I have 8 outdoor cameras on my property and have never had one fail which speaks to their excellent durability. Overall I have been very pleased with their products, but I think this one of my favorites for connectivity, sharpness, and night vision so I'm giving it 5 stars. It does not have a wide field of view so it won't cover the entirety of a room, such as a garage, but it is fine for larger areas. Also, you can't adjust the the electronic shutter speed or aperture, but that may not matter for most users. I always find that the initial wi-fi set-up never goes smoothly, but eventually I get there. I could see some folks getting really frustrated. When in doubt, read up on how to do a complete reset while connected to your LAN and enter a new password. It seems very hard to find documentation on how to use the various software features other than trial and error. Connectivity will be a function of distance from your router and wifi signal strength. You might need to use extenders like I did for better performance, but overall I think it is pretty good on this camera.

Overall, I am very happy with this NVR system. I used it to replace an old wired DVR system I used for over 10yr. It took me a while to get the wifi working consistently. Since old system was wired, this was a real challenge. All of my cams are outside and some are a distance from the house (up to 180ft away). I have an Asus mesh router but connection was inconsistent or nonexistent for cameras away from house. I had to purchase 3-TPLink outdoor access points (EAP650-can setup hardwired or wifi), a TPLink controller (OC200) and POE switch (TL-SG1005P) – quite a learning curve with all the TPLink components but got it working and it is great. TPLink has great documentation and lots of youtube videos,etc. The person/vehicle/animal detection works well and works at a good distance (further than Eufy cams which I also tried). There are occasional false alarms but nothing significant. Only problem I encountered was with 2 cams that would stop/start recording randomly. Reported to Reolink support but they had no info on problem. After much experimenting, I found it was with outdoor cameras with a lot of greenery – something about the intensity of the color(?). I reduced the contract, brightness & saturation for the cameras and now works fine. In addition to the 4 cameras it comes with, I added 4 more Reolink cams - including one zoom and one 180 degree camera – very impressed with both. I purchased a 12TB hard drive which I will install soon. The Windows software works well as does Android software. Takes a while to learn each but that is expected. All cams are connected via wifi and record continuous at 4k. My current laptop does not display 4k so next purchase will be new laptop capable of 4k. I’ve had this system for a couple months and feel confident I will be able to depend on it as I did with old wired system and it is REALLY nice not to run wires to each camera. I did have to buy a number of electric extension cords for the Reolink cameras but was able to place them where they are discrete and not in the way of foot traffic,etc. Should work better than old wired system with thin wires that were occasionally chewed on by animals, even when buried.

I had an OOSSXX security camera set which had bad quality video and disconnect issues. The ordered this system which has 16 channels and was disappointed that I couldn't get the OOSSXX cameras working on this system but that's ok I guess. It was easy to set up the cameras. Just connect the camera to the Reolink system with a network cable, it'll find the camera automatically and then click on sync to push the wifi information into the camera, unplug it and do it for the next camera. Note that it will only sync the 5 ghz wifi connection. After you configure the cameras, install the app. If you want certain cameras to connect to 2.4 ghz, plug the camera into your home wifi router, it'll automatically show up at the bottom of the app. You may have to put in the camera password, which mine was very long and you can get it from the Reolink system - it may also be a blank password. After it's connected, go to the settings and you'll see a wifi option and you can choose the 2.4 ghz Reolink network. Then delete that camera from the app and remove the network cable to activate the wifi. My experience with the 2.4 ghz was pretty bad though. A lot of lag and disconnects so I instead used a TP Link 5 ghz extender for the cameras outside that is far away. All 10 of my cameras are running with very minimal lag of a couple seconds at most, very good and smooth video quality, easy to use the app and watch recorded videos. The 2TB hard drive filled up after a week so I got a 8TB hard drive which I bought for about $100. Night mode is good, all cameras have mics and speakers, and you can increase the video bitrate within the app. All in all, well worth it if you can get the 5 ghz signal to go through your walls.

this is a wifi stand alone camera. Hardware appears good quality. Connects to a wired network ok. Will not connect to wifi. Appears to require you to connect to a router that is connected to the internet before you can connect wifi - Reolink support says not so. I called support several times. I went through the brain dead AI stuff, and to human support who had no idea about the interface but could read perfect english from a script. I asked for a network engineer to call me - nothing. They said it was my camera and sent me another and same thing. I doubt it is the camera but the wifi communication parameters. It apparently does not broadcast a ssid so you have no idea if it is the camera hardware or being blocked. Neither my pc w/wifi will connect or display the camera wifi nor my iPhone - and both are using the Reolink apps. If you are looking for a standalone wifi camera, I suggest you look elsewhere until Reolink gets rid of their brain dead support. Oh yea, try and find someone in the US who is in charge of Reolink and who is responsible. Caveat Emptor.

A good camera but wifi is hit or miss better to go with poe

The Reolink 4K camera is an excellent choice for anyone looking for high-quality video surveillance without the hassle of monthly fees. The image quality is sharp and clear, making it easy to monitor details around your property. Setup was simple, the camera connected quickly to Wi-Fi, and the Reolink app is user-friendly, giving you easy access to live feeds, motion alerts, and playback. One of the best parts is that it records directly to an SD card, so there’s no need for a subscription, which makes it a cost-effective and worry-free solution. The motion detection works well. Overall, this is a reliable, feature-packed camera that offers great performance and peace of mind for a one-time cost. Highly recommended.

Great Camera, I have multiple Reolink cameras and they never disappoint! The only thing on this particular camera is certain angles when aiming cannot be done because of the antennas out the back. Well built solid WiFi camera. Glad to have 24/7 recording on a wifi camera. Night Vision is very good I can see everything at night. Setup was quick and they have pretty good range due to strong WiFi antennas. The only thing that could use work is the detection. I get lots of false detections with this specific camera.

The ReoLINK Security Camera is well-built. It works great outdoors with its strong WiFi connection, thanks to its double antenna. The view coverage is good. My 12-car Parking lot is in clear view. I had to return 2 different Security cameras that I purchased from another company earlier that did not work for my needs. I was given hope. I just found the REOLINK Home Security Camera on Amazon and gave it a try. It does not adjust the angle view remotely; you have to fix the desired angle manually, but it is not a big deal for me. The Reolink supports a micro SIM card that saves recorded video history, which I already inserted but haven't activated yet. I am a little disappointed that just after I purchased, the price dropped from $105 to $87.I highly recommend the Reolink plug-in Security Camera to new buyers.
