  • add on to my Reolin PoE Security Camera System 8CH 5MP are one of the best Security Cameras and affordable price, it has an easy set up and pick up sound signal, from anywhere around the house loud and clear, and you can view them on your iphone, or android
  • The prices are reasonable for dome cameras however I'm not a fan of the mounting base on this model
  • NVR are one of the best Security Cameras and affordable price, it has an easy set up and pick up sound signal, from anywhere around the house loud and clear, and you can view them on your iphone, or android
  • Good price, easy hookup!I use POE switch and a "Video Store Server"
  • Overall I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a decent picture and interface at a great price!

Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • This seems to loosely coincided with when a once rock-solid setup featuring Reolink Cameras started misbehaving
  • Extremely easy setup as a stand alone or with a NVR that supports ONVIF.
  • The setup is SUPER easy with the Reolink app but I also tested local recording with a server using Blue Iris software
  • Easy setup (the is a black dot on the LEDs that signify which way is up)
  • The system is really easy to get up and running and the setup was a breeze both within the NVR and within the iPhone App

Reviews around poe (5.00 of 5)

  • This camera is solid and well constructed, and PoE is very nice -- but the firmware has too many rough edges:- video plugin says it requires Acrobat Reader, but that's already installed on my
  • It would be hard to find a better POE camera for this price
  • and I really preferred POE since it would simplify adding additional cameras

Reviews around product (4.49 of 5)

  • Not forgivable for a company like Reolink; they are selling enough product in the US to hire a copy editor
  • I love Reolink products; however, this camera isn't one of my favorite because it's night vision isn't the greatest.
  • All in all, as much as I really want to like this camera I would have to recommend the Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A as a superior product for my setup.
  • Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for a better brand product, if you do have a ReoLink camera fail save yourself the hassle of trying to return and throw it away.
  • Product seems great, and a template for installation is included, but no hardware is included

Reviews around night vision (4.37 of 5)

  • Night vision on this camera is pretty good, but like all cameras, with low light level the picture becomes somewhat grainy
  • I love Reolink products; however, this camera isn't one of my favorite because it's night vision isn't the greatest.
  • The other issue is the Night Vision only yields 8FPS to BI
  • I will say even though I just installed the system it has a great picture the night vision is really good
  • Good low light sensitivity and good night vision with reduced frame rate

Reviews around image (4.05 of 5)

  • Whenever someone stands at a camera in a dark area, image of persons face is blown out by IR making it impossible get an identity
  • The image, when it does work appears good, but that is seldom, and for where I wanted this camera mounted, I do not have the time to continue to play these type of games with a camera that works from time to time
  • If the camera reboots for any reason the focus may be lost as it will try to auto-focus again and may fail
  • The image is great and the features fit my needs perfectly.
  • The POE cameras included have a really good image and work well in various lighting

  • Reolink Cameras work well in the Reolink software and are easy to setup.
  • I've spent a lot of time looking for decent lower-cost IP Cameras that support OSX and/or Linux out of the box, and this is the only camera that "just works" over HTTP with full H.264 streaming to Linux (Fedora 25) using Firefox

Reviews around system (3.86 of 5)

  • Can no longer connect to my ELAN home automation system (which uses ONVIF for cameras)
  • I have an ELAN home automation system that allows viewing/control of onvif cameras.
  • The camera along with the NVR makes for a perfect beginners DIY security system.
  • I would recommend this system to anyone out there looking at the hundreds of camera systems not know which one to go with.
  • This camera paired with another Reolink camera has been excellent as a indoor home security system

Reviews around video (3.78 of 5)

  • Poor video quality
  • Great little camera that takes great video in the day or night
  • Chrome (70.0.3538.77) on a PC worked, utilizing the built-in version of flash to facilitate video
  • i just get a blue screen, or a frozen screen, or extremely laggy or pixelated video with less than 1/3 of picture clear.
  • The Ir distance is very good, but I have to change some of the default low light settings to get clear video and reduce the smearing.

Reviews around app (3.61 of 5)

  • A great camera, easy to set up and the Reolink app for iOS is very easy to use and quick to load.
  • Excellent image quality and the native app is perfectly good for my needs.
  • If the camera reboots for any reason the focus may be lost as it will try to auto-focus again and may fail
  • Overall cameras are decent, but the camera app not so great
  • I decided on Reolink specifically because they appeared to be a relatively trustworthy company and the app wasn't complete junk

Reviews around software (3.07 of 5)

  • The audio seems to be a bit spotty (I don't know if that's an engineering issue, software issue, or a bandwidth issue)
  • The software has some minor glitches, like it seems to not find the Camera from a distant location every time I use it
  • For the cost it looks like a good deal, especially if they are using the same software stack that works with Linux
  • With that said, their software and ease-of-use is excellent!
  • Trust me, spend the money on one of the more name branded items, their software is far more robust reliable, and works.

  • n’t feel company overall helpful.
  • It makes the camera pretty useless when the lens is covered with moths all night long not only obscuring the video but causing hundreds of false Motion Detection events.
