Title: Fantastic Camera. Great for Indoors. Almost Perfect.
Review: Every year I look around to find the best wireless indoor/outdoor camera. Up until now my favorite indoor wifi cameras were the TPLink Tapo C125 2K and the Eufy Indoorcam C120 2K. For years I’ve been waiting for a 4K Wifi camera that has RTSP and 5Ghz Wifi. Well this is one of the very few cameras that looked like it would work and so far it’s been fantastic. It has pretty much everything I could ask for. It’s compact, it has 4K resolution, night vision, 2-way audio, built-in person/animal detection, and a true 4K image when streamed live, recorded, or viewed/recorded via RTSP. The only thing missing is an ethernet port, but with 5Ghz wifi I can live with out.IMAGE QUALITYThe image quality from this camera is great. The image is sharp with very few compression artifacts. The bitrate is much higher than the average wifi camera thanks to the camera have Wifi6 and 5Ghz compatibility and you can even increase the bitrate to 5120kbps. It even provides a sub-stream. This means it won’t hog up the 2.4Ghz airtime if you have lots of wireless cameras. The default framerate is 15fps but it does have the option to up this to 20fps. The night vision performance is also good. Image sharpness does suffer a bit when using infrared night vision so if you want the best image you may want to rely on the built-in LED spotlights. The spotlights are much brighter than I expected and they seem to be good for about 20ft or so.FIELD OF VIEWAnother huge benefit of this camera is its wide viewing angle. Most Reolink cameras have a very narrow field of view so I was surprised to see a 106° Horizontal and 56° vertical field of view. That’ almost the same as the Eufy indoorcam but not quite as wide as my Tapo C125. But considering this is technically an outdoor camera, you don’t want to the field of view to be too wide in case you need to capture something far away. Either way I think it has a nice wide angle.RTSP/NVR COMPATIBILITYI use Blue Iris and I don’t want my cameras to be accessed outside of my home over the internet so RTSP was a big requirement. I purchased 4 of these cameras (so far) and all 4 of them work well (albeit not perfect) in Blue Iris. You do have to use the Reolink app to initially set them up as they don’t have a built-in web server interface like some other Reolink cameras, but they were super easy to setup and once they’re setup and RTSP is turned on, they can be disconnected from the internet and still viewed via RTSP over your wifi network. You also can’t use 2-way audio in Blue Iris so you have to also use the Reolink app for that but that’s typical of most cameras. I’ve had them up for a few days now and they’ve been rock solid.CAVEATSAs far as the downsides, I only have a couple of very minor complaints. The first thing is that the camera doesn’t appear to have an HDR mode. HDR mode works great indoors as there can be a lot of contrast in certain situations where HDR will flatten the image and brighten up shadowy areas. It does have Brightness and Shadows settings and I boosted the shadows as high as they’ll go and it’s still bit too dark in some areas for my personal taste.Another downside is that uses a barrel plug instead of a basic USB connector. Most people probably don’t care about this but if you want to run a shorter or longer cable, you’d need to buy a compatible barrel plug extension wire. However, considering it’s 5V, you can technically still use USB if you’re brave enough to cut the wire and splice a USB connector to it and use a USB power brick.Another downside, which is very common with some cheaper cameras, is that there is no i-frame setting. You can change the framerate, set it to a constant bitrate, but you can’t change the i-frame, so NVR software such as Blue Iris will occasionally complain about the stream stability. This isn’t a big deal but just something to note.Overall I think this is a great camera at a great price. I’ve replaced several of my 2.4Ghz 2K cameras with this one and plan to continue switching them out and my 2.4Ghz wireless band is thanking me for it. I can’t really speak to its outdoor performance but it does have an IP65 weatherproof rating so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Title: Very nice cameras and very nice PC App
Review: Reolink is about the only cameras that offer a good FREE PC App! We live in South Central Florida with lots of wildlife, but with all the other cameras I had I could not turn off the IR lights or the spot lights and all they do is attract all the bug and moths, and then they attract the spiders. OMG what a mess! I had to sweep spider webs down every other day and the side of the house was a mess from the bug juice! This camera allows you to turn off the Status light and the IR lights and have the Spot lights come on only when they detect movement! Yaaaaa! You can individually adjust sensitivity for cars, people and animals and it will detect at a long distance! We have landscape lights in the back yard that actually provide enough light to get a clear enough view without the IR lights. The front of the house has street and yard lights that do the same! No more spiders!! These cameras were a genuine breeze to set up and get connected!! Very easy to mount outside, but, remember…..they need power from an outlet! The video quality is excellent and the PC app allows me to save video clips and snapshots to my PC hard drive! Once the app is on your phone (Bluetooth must me on) and the cameras are added, the PC app will find them on it’s own. If not, make sure your PC network setting is on Public. These cameras work fine from an installed Micro SD Card and can be set to overwrite when the card gets full. I am using 256 GB cards because I had them already and I am recording 24/7. I get about 7 days out of that, BUT, I do NOT have to pay any kind of monthly fee!! You can double the SD Card size to 512 GB if you wish and only record the events. Great Cameras!! For the people that had bad reviews, maybe they just got a bad one or didn’t set it up properly. I am very happy!

Title: Great inexpensive security option
Review: This is a very good value outdoor camera that’s simple to set up. I did initially have some connection issues like other reviews mention where the camera worked for a day or two then lost connection but after an update it works perfectly. (It was connecing to my network because I’d get real time notifications but couldn’t see the feed or adjust camera settings until I power cycled it). I set the camera at a weekend cabin and went back and forth with customer support while I was unable to physically access the camera but they were willing to replace it if I couldn’t get it working and sent me a prepaid shipping label with daily follow ups and fast replies. Once I was on site and tried a few things the camera stopped having issues and has worked flawlessly. The person/auto/motion AI detection isn’t perfect but is a big time saver compared to not having it. It’s oversensitive so it isn’t missing anything, it just sends some false alerts which I prefer over not getting alerts. There are lots of setup options too as far as getting notifications (sensitivity, schedule, area blackout). The outdoor speaker isn’t loud but if it’s set up near a door for example, it’s adequate and you can hear it over road noise. Sound on the viewing end is great. Picture and video quality are very good. The cord is small and long enough I was able to remove a window trim and run to an inside outlet but you could just run it through a window to make it easy. Again, I think this is a solid value if you are just getting your feet wet with security cameras or want to cover several angles/locations without breaking the bank. Whether I spend $50 or $300 on a camera, I expect the technology to advance and I’d probably replace it in a few years for one reason or another. At this point spending $50 on a few of these gives me what I need. It’s a small inconspicuous camera, the night video and spotlight are more than adequate to cover my driveway and yard and I’m able to check in any time to see what the weather is like or if the grass needs mowing. It has more than enough micro sd capacity and they offer additional storage options if needed. Reolink customer support has been good and they offer lots of options if you want more failsafe/advanced security monitoring. But for me, I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t have at least a couple of these if they have wifi and don’t have any other security at home or at a getaway location. The app works very well, the brand has lots of options and the customer support is there if needed.

Review: Fantastic add-on camera to my NVR system. Was easy to setup like all Reolink products. Great image and sound quality. I have it setup in the garage, great colour imagery during the day and black & white in pitch black darkness, both crisp with or without the strobe.The cable was extra long so it was very easy for placement to the nearest plug. Wireless connection was a plus for me in this instance.

Review: レオリンク3台所持していますが、便利なので2台を追加購入しました。暗闇の動物もしっかり録画できてるし、動きを感知してライトと録画をしてくれます。携帯にも通知が来るので安心です。アプリも使いやすく、外からお互い話せるのでお勧めです。携帯はアプリさえ入れれば複数台共有して視られます。
