4K Smart Detection

In 2008 I purchased a system and they worked great. When I moved to a different house I purchased another system to replace an outdated system that was on my new house. I purchased the Reolink 16ch 12mp PoE Camera system with the 4TB HDD in May of 2024. Installed all 8 cameras that came with the system and ordered 2 more cameras 3 days later due to wanted more coverage in areas I did not think about. The system work great. Easy to setup, great picture, very user-friendly. The extra cameras joined in just like the ones purchased in the system. In July 2026 I had a power surge and that made the NVR (hard drive) not to power on. I contacted Reolink and asked for troubleshooting procedures. After trying different things Reolink said since they were on warranty and I purchased them on Amazon through Reolink directly they would give me a refurbished unit. I shipped them the old unit and within 5 business days I had another NVR to connect. After setting it up and connecting it, I found out the power surge must of damaged 4 of the cameras that came with the original system. After contacting them using the same code they issued 4 cameras. The 4 cameras that were damaged were no longer in production and they could not give me refurbished cameras. So they shipped me 4 brand new updated cameras. I can say enough good things from the brand. Quality, Use, Customer Service all have been top notch. Very pleased with purchase. Will be buy more cameras for this system in time. The entire time I was waiting on the items to ship to me I had someone contacting each day to check on the progress.

Solid Fixed Cameras with Great Image Quality These are simple, fixed dome cameras with digital zoom, and they do exactly what they’re supposed to do. Image quality is sharp with good color during the day, and they perform well at night too. The wide-angle view covers a good area, and motion tagging with object identification adds a nice layer of functionality. I’m currently running five of these as part of my full NVR system (see my other reviews), and they’ve been reliable with no issues. They’re not motorized or adjustable like PTZ cameras, but for fixed coverage areas, they work great and keep things simple. If you need dependable, good-quality cameras for a hardwired system, these are a solid option. Simple Setup. Clear Coverage.

I cannot say enough good things about ReoLink. I ran CAT6 to every outside corner of the house after it was framed, but before the siding and drywall went up. All CAT6 cables connect to the ReoLink NVR. When I plug in these cameras, they show up in the app within about 10 seconds, so I can adjust their alignment in real time. These have white cables instead of black, so they hide a little better against the soffit.

I use this camera with 3rd party NVR software and use RTSP stream for saving 4K video. Out of the box, and even when updated with the latest firmware, the main RTSP stream was very unstable and basically unusable. I contacted customer support, and within 24 hours they hooked me up with beta firmware that solved the issue. Reolink customer support has always been great in my experience, which is why I've now bought four of their cameras now and plan to buy one more. If you are having similar trouble with the 4K RTSP stream, I definitely recommend you contact support and ask if there is newer firmware you could try. An alternative workaround is to use RTMP instead. You need to reduce the resolution to 5MP for that, but it is rock stable. Other than that, the camera is pretty nice. It rotates pretty easily in the mount, so I put a couple pieces of tape on it to keep it from turning inadvertently. The image quality is great during the day and decent at night. As mentioned, it works well for 3rd party surveillance systems like ZoneMinder and Blue Iris once you manage to get the stream stable. The field of view is wide but not ultrawide. It is actually exactly equivalent to a 24mm lens on a full-frame camera, for a point of reference. Plan placement wisely, or go with a camera that has a zoom feature if you need it to be wider.

The picture quality is good. Not great, it can't possibly be with the 8Mbps stream bandwidth at 8MP resolution. It can be used stand-alone or connected to a NVR; standalone can record on an SD card or store on a FTP server. The person/vehicle detection works great if you tweak the parameters a bit for minimum/maximum size plus duration. Motion detection is useless unless you place it indoors - too sensitive or too insensitive. There are severe compression artifacts with only 8Mbps bandwidth - to the point where you'd wonder if it's 8MP or just an upscaled 2MP sensor, but it's a security camera, not one for wining an Oscar. Night vision is good to about 60ft realistically. If there is a real floodlight to assist then the image is quite good. Even moonlight helps at greater distances. Push notifications are a bit annoying, going as often as 30sec and there is no picture or app deeplink to play from the event attached to the notification, all you can do is go to the live view. Emailed pictures for events on the other side are spot on (for person/vehicle). Some features are lost if you connect the camera to the monitoring ports of the Reolink NVR, but if you have it on the LAN side you can access them (such as pet detection) via the app. In all not bad given the price, features and image quality, plus it works seamlessly with the Reolink NVR.

(UPDATE) I have to give it up to Reolink's customer service. They reached out to me to resolve my issues and to provide a very reasonable resolution to the issue that I had. Long story short, I received an updated NVR and I was able to hook up the 4k camera. I compared it to my 5MP camera and it does stand out and I was impressed. I am able to read the license plate of vehicles as they drive through the culdesac and the picture quality is nice. Installation was easy because the current holes on the wall lined up with the new camera as well. FYI - the older model NVRs are not compatible. When I received the newer NVR, it was slightly different from the one that I had. (Previous) purchased several of reolink products within the last 2 years. I started with the $500 NVR kit and over time added several additional cameras as the camera quality increased. Overall, I was content although they had issues here and there. When the 4k camera rolled out, I was excited to get it so I can see how it compares to the 5MP ones that I have. If I liked it, I was hoping to replace them out with addiional 4k cameras. To my major disappointment, these D800 cameras did not work with my 8CH NVR RLN8-410 although they advertise it as such. When my 4k camera did not sync, I was advised the older RLN8-410 did not work! Although it claimed it worked with ONLY 8CH NVRs, this is not true. There's no upgrade you can do other then to buy a whole new NVR.

I've installed a few dozen Reolink PoE cameras in my home, in friends homes, and in some local businesses for about 5 or so years now. I've yet to have a camera go bad or an NVR stop working. The Home Assistant integration is phenomenal, everything stays local and in your control. You can't ask for a better system for the money.

They're good when they work, but I have had to replace as many as I have had to purchase. I have tried multiple models, none of which have held up in the rain. The connectors are ridiculous. You either have to drill massive holes in the walls or leave the connectors outside. Unfortunately, their proprietary water-proofing just doesn't work. On top of that, even when the cameras do work, they really don't. For example, this morning, I went to play back an event that should have been captured on four cameras. One camera worked on the app for maybe ten minutes. One camera caught the event in a couple of clips (as it should have). Two other cameras were not triggered and never recorded the event, even though they were properly triggered for previous events. The app is flaky. Works best on one of my Android devices, but even then I would give it a C+. The web access is clunky and inconvenient. For the most part, the technical support staff is nice, but getting a warranty repair on a camera is a hassle-and-a-half. They force you to go through the same questions and process over and over even when it's clear the camera needs to be replaced. I keep hoping the quality gets better because I don't want to start switching to another brand and having to use multiple apps. But the writing is on the wall. Soon I'll be forced to spend several hundred dollars to replace every camera with another brand. 10-15-2025 UPDATE: Lost two cameras from moderate rains last night. This model and a PTZ that cost twices as much.

購入して1年以上経ちますが、バッチリ使えて、機能も優れています。お値段もグッド、アプリも使い勝手が良いです。

自力で設置、この手の作業はそれなりになれてはいるので簡単な作業でした。 POE対応のハブとケーブルを用意して接続するだけです。 この手の中華製品の欠点は防水性能だと私は思っており、雨水にさらされる場合大体浸水して内部回路が壊れて使えなくなることが多いです。 分解してみると分かりますけど、Ｏリングなど無いですから。ＩＰ性能歌ってるけどまあ信じちゃダメですね。このため、物によっては接合部にビニールテープ等を巻くとかなり長持ちするようになります。 ただ、この商品の場合可動部が多すぎてビニールテープなどの防水強化は出来ません。 軒下などの水のかからない場所に設置するのであればかなりお勧めです。コスパは良いですね。 後気になったのは画角が狭いですね。レンズ自体が魚眼では無い。 まあ、魚眼にして画像処理で歪みを直すなどをやるにはコストがかかりすぎるのでしょう。 総じて、良い商品だと思います。 ただ、高額の商品とは違い欠点はしっかりある、その欠点を理解した上で使用することが前提です。 数万、数十万のカメラと同性能を求めること自体が間違っています。 ご自身のやりたいこと、望む性能と天秤に掛けてお選びください。

ｗｅｂカメラを初めて購入しましたが、期待していた通りで満足しています。

POE給電で簡単に接続出来ました。 レオアプリでの反応も早くカメラ画像を確認する事が出来ますがAlexaとの連携が不安定です。繋がるときはsho5で見れるが繋がらないときも多くて原因不明です。

RLC-820Aを購入 レオリンクの他カメラは問題ないですが、こちらの商品だけ設定項目が異常に少なくモノクロでしか映りません。 遠隔で動かせる訳でもなくこのカメラのメリットを何一つ感じなかった 他のタイプにした方がいいです。
