    De camera’s zijn lekker compact en zeer degelijk van kwaliteit.
    Makkelijk te installeren en makkelijk in het gebruik.

    Die Kamera ist fr diesen Preis der absolute Hammer. Ich habe bereits 2 Stck davon und bin absolut berzeugt. Bisher wurden keine Fehlalarme produziert, Personen erkannt, Autos erkannt und sogar ein Fuchs ist erkannt worden (was ich nicht als schlimm empfinde). Die Push Nachrichten kommen nahezu in Echtzeit! Die LED ‘s sind sehr hell und machen die Nacht zum Tag – inklusive Farbnachtsicht! Das Kabel ist sehr dnn, dadurch kann man es auch wunderbar durch ein Fenster verlegen. Die Lautsprecher sind auch vllig ausreichend und die Sirene macht definitiv ihren Dienst. Die App ist anfangs gewhnungsbedrftig, aber mit der Zeit findet man gut zurecht und die Einstellmglichkeiten sind vllig ausreichend. Von mir gibt es 5 Sterne !

    Die Kamera ist gut, mit Aunahme dass es bei mir in nur einem unverschlsseltemNetzwerk funktioniert.
    Die Reolink funktioniert nur mit der Verschlsselung WAPA-2PSK, dass weder bei meiner Fritz!Box oder
    dem RelTek Stick untersttzt wird.

    So far so good, about a month since I purchased item. What I like about this camera, no subscription, easy to install and all you need is a micro SD card 128GB. Camera also formats card for you. Do this before you start recording. Satisfied customer.

    Finde die Kamera fr den Preis echt gut und kann nur Kritik bzgl. einem Punkt schreiben. Das Bild ist gut, die Nachtsicht auch. Die Bewegungserkennung funktioniert einwandfrei jedoch hat die Kamera auch die Funktion “Bewegungszone”. D.h. ich kann gewisse Bereiche streichen damit keine Aufnahme gestartet wird wenn in diesem Bereich eine Bewegung stattfindet. Bei uns wre es ein Teil der Strae wo Autos vorbeifahren (mchte nicht jedes mal eine Aufzeichnung wenn ein Auto vorbeifhrt) oder im Garten (Deko windspiel). Das ausblenden im entsprechenden Modus funktioniert einwandfrei, jedoch zeichnet er weiter auf. Dadurch bekommen wir gefhlt 1000 Alarme tglich aufs Handy inkl. der Aufzeichnung.

    For its price, it does exactly what it needs to do. Easy to install and to use. The alarm is loud enough to scare of someone intruding and the image is clear enough in case you need it.

    Have this connected in the front porch. The field of view is quite good and picture quality is also acceptable. Impressed with how solid it’s worked since it’s never frooze once in the past 6 months, unlike the other Reolink indoor camera I own. Alarm triggering seems a bit iffy since I masked an area which should stop the triggering but it seems to ignore it and still triggers when motion is detected.
    Overall happy with the purchase and would recommend.

    Have taken down my battery munching Arlo’s and replaced them with these Reolink Lumus gems. Needs a 10 ml hole to get the cabling through to connect to an adjacent plug socket and that was it.
    Connection to the internet was a breeze. With the camera displayed check your buffering. I moved my router a few feet. Made a huge difference.

    Its cheap, its got excellent features inc great picture quality , 2 way talk, remote floodlight operation, colour night vision and lots more.

    Little else to be said. Doubt if you’ll be disappointed if you buy one.

    A very good camera that is super easy to set up and connect to. Really clear image and detection, with a really easy to use App.
    And with the added bonus of being able to connect to a Reolink NVR system without any wires, so you can easily increase the coverage of your existing CCTV system.

    I purchased this camera to install on the front of my house for an added level of security as well as being able to see who’s at the door such as delivery drivers.

    The camera is installed on the soffit of the roof overhang & I was able to install this by leaning out of the window and using just a screwdriver, no drill was needed yet the camera is very secure and is wired to the plug socket in the attic.

    I installed a 128gb SD card in to the camera so that I have local storage which can be viewed through the easy to use app. The app allows you to playback, screen record as well as a whole other host of functions as well as accessing the camera settings.

    The LED light is very powerful however I don’t really have a use for this but its nice to know that the function is there if I ever need to illuminate the front of the house at night.

    The only negative I have with this camera is the motion detection, I have set the motion detection zone to only alert me if someone walks down the path however the camera alerts me to any motion irrelevant of being detected in the set “zone” or not. ReoLink customer support are looking in to this.

    Overall I would highly recommend this camera for someone who is after an additional level of basic security or simply wants to know who’s coming and going. I am considering purchasing a second one for the back of the house and make use of the LED floodlight.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersVolevo una telecamera da posizionare all’esterno con tante opzioni e con supporto Google Nest. Questa ha fatto proprio al caso mio: facile da installare, contiene tutto il necessario per montarla a muro ed impermeabile per poterla montare all’esterno. Tramite un lungo cavo va collegata alla corrente e tramite il wifi si collega alla vostra rete e a internet.
    Permette di salvare i video o alla rilevazione di movimento, con tre livelli di sensibilit, o continuamente sulla micro SD inseribile al suo interno per poi rivederli da remoto dall’app su smartphone senza usufruire del Cloud (comunque disponibile). Ad ogni rilevazione di movimento possibile impostare una notifica sullo smartphone in modo da usarla come videosorveglianza impostando anche orari predefiniti.
    Visione notturna con infrarossi o faretti led integrati ottima.
    Una cosa che per me ha fatto la differenza la compatibilit con Google Nest Hub e Chromecast sui quali possibile visionare in tempo reale la ripresa semplicemente chiedendo a Google di visualizzare la camera (ovviamente dopo aver aggiunto il dispositivo a Google home).
    Un buon prodotto, con tante funzioni e di semplice utilizzo ad un prezzo tutto sommato contenuto.
    Consigliata!

    I purchased this with a mains extension lead(Sanhuii DC 5 volt power make to female) a micro so card(Samsung eco plus 128gb), which was everything needed for me to install and set up for them in their back garden, as they had recently had a theft from it.
    Installation is quite easy, in most cases you would be able to fit the camera using pre-fitted cable straight through external wall into a room for easy power up.
    Build quality is good, solid camera body well made, mount seems sturdy, the tightening fixture has a metal knuckle where it tightens for desired angle, which I feel works well, it can easily hit desired angle(view) with its adjustment mechanism and is easy to set when up a ladder, not to fiddly to tighten even if your fingers have mildly less optimal function.
    Cable is of a decent quality firmly attached and easily waterproof.
    Power brick is good quality no complaints, sturdy, feels solid and cable is standard really.
    I feel it’s build quality will hold up well under weathering.
    Setup is easily done first, before fitting, there are a few steps and with only a WiFi(no Ethernet connection cable) you need to make sure both placement and whilst setting up you are in a strong signal area. This is the only mildly limiting feature in my opinion, but, you’d only buy this if you knew your WiFi signal is good where you would want to install, perhaps worth going up a ladder with a mobile and holding it next to the wall in the place you’d wish to fit it, “just to make sure the wall doesn’t block signal!!”.
    Once connected it offers a plethora of settings and modes, handily if you have a narrow garden you can block areas in view by scribbling on screen, for example, so that a neighbour putting washing on line won’t set it off, neighbours pet in their garden won’t set it off etc.
    Light works well, and has a variety of setting for convenience, alarm loudness from device is decent, and the “device notification” on your phone or tablet/laptop is reasonably quick, little delay.
    The two way speaker so you can communicate with perhaps a delivery driver or even an intruder, has decent volume and clarity.
    Picture quality, perhaps the most important thing. On device is good, clear, doesn’t lag, it provides a decent clear and good quality picture when watching on device screen. I don’t have any knowledge of picture quality if you remove micro sd card and view saved footage in a laptop/tablet, as I have not done so, but I would expect it to be of good quality.
    I myself have purchased various cctv cameras of this “price range” and slightly burger, and I would suggest that in the making of this camera, in my opinion, they have spent the money in the right places on this camera.
    In conclusion, if a static camera at this price point is what you’re looking for, I would recommend this, so much so that I intend to purchase one for myself at some point for use on my garage, which whilst already partially covered, I’d like an individual camera to cover the approach & door.
    Warning only connects to a 2.4ghz WiFi signal so check router(most routers are 2.4ghz), and you need to make sure you purchase the correct voltage power extension cable or it won’t work, saw & read that on various other reviews, on here & YouTube.
    Any diy’er or practical person can fit & set this up.
    Hope that helps

    Had outside cameras before, but just moved to new property, bought this after reading reviews, and I’m so far not been disappointed. Has security light setting, and the siren is loud, also two way speaking, and clear pictures. Glad I bought it, but also it’s only up a few weeks, so hopefully after a few years I’ll be saying the same. But for the price it’s worth it.

This little cameras are excellent and can be easily added to your NVR for 24/7 recording. It comes complete with security light, recordable voice alarm, adjustable zone motion sensor, sound infrared night vision and waterproof. The quality is great, can connect 2G or 5G WiFi.

    Die Kamera an sich ist gut, auch die Funktionen und Mglichkeiten sind einwandfrei.
    Leider trennt sich die Kamera oft vom Netz oder der Stream oder die Playback Funktion ist problematisch.
    Eine andere Reolink WLAN Kamera am gleichen Access-Point (sogar 10m weiter enternt) funktioniert deutlich besser.
    Auch die 3. Reolink Kamera an einem anderen Accesspoint funktioniert 100%ig problemlos, weshalb wir und dann auch die Lumus zugelegt haben.

    Deshalb bekommt die Lumus einen Punkt Abzug fr die unstabile WLAN Verbindung .

    It’s a decent camera for the price, with quite a few positives, but also a few negatives.

    Positives:
    The flood light and siren work well and are a useful feature. The flood light is especially great as it’s bright enough to turn the night images into colour.
    The audio is good too, both from recordings and when speaking through the camera.
    It’s also powered, which I wanted rather than messing around with batteries.
    Setup is also incredibly easy.

    Negatives:
    The picture quality is OK. I’ve been spoilt with reolinks 8MP poe cameras, so the picture is nowhere near that quality.
    There is a 15 second delay between the footage and what you see on an echo show.
    Being able to schedule the flood light and siren would be nice.

    Other than that, a decent bit of kit.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersLo que ms me gusta es que puedes cambiar la calidad de la imagen desde la App y tiene la opcin de configurar zonas “sin movimiento” para que no salten las alarmas y “zonas privadas” creando un muro negro en la parte que queramos.

    La nica pega que le pondra es que el apoyo de la cmara es un poco complicado dejarle fijo y bien apretado en la posicin que quieres, pues va a rosca y se mueve.

    Having had problems with the Argus 2 battery camera i decided to try this one as the price at time of order was discounted to 39.99. Overall the Lumus is working better me as the Argus 2 was slow to do everything. Slow to connect using the app. Slow to detect motion, slow to send alerts. Also when it was very cold the rather over priced battery failed to charge and then finally it stopped sending push alerts so had to try something else.

    The Lumus connects to the App much quicker and what i appreciate is that because it presumably is not conserving battery or taking time to wake up so to speak or anything like that, it will provide a few seconds of pre-motion activity so that when the photos are sent to email you can actually see people arriving and not either them leaving or just nothing. And with the videos you see what leads up to the detection.

    The image is sharp and has good resolution but is let down slightly because it is not displaying colours as naturally as i would like even after making adjustments via the Reolink Windows client program. This program does allow you to record 24/7 to your computer if you want, whereas the SD card in the camera will only record motion detected events.

    I am not able to make use of the IR night light or the spotlight because unfortunately the only place i can mount the camera is close to a wall and the reflected light back into the lens spoils the image. However i was still able to use the camera at night because of the amount of lighting that is available along with my motion sensing driveway floodlight.

    It is not a perfect outdoor camera, not had one of those yet in regard to motion detection, but on the whole I find it to be much better option compared to the my previous Argus 2.

    I purchased the Lumus camera to connect to my existing network via Wifi so all I needed was a power supply ,I fitted these into an adapted bird box I made as we have had visiting blue tits each year and wanted to watch their experience of nesting and chicks growth. They have been great for close up camera shots but not sure that if you had these high up to monitor movement they would be as good. These would be good at the front door to monitor coming and going as these also work with Alexa, I drop into the nest box with my Alexa spot which is good but does take a min to connect.

    Ottima telecamera da esterno, qualit delle immagini superiore a modelli pi costosi e di marchi blasonati. La reattivit alla consultazione pressoch istantanea con impostazioni di flusso spinti al massimo nella configurazione a 1080p, 15 frame e 2048 kbps, mentre nei modelli Argus Pro e Argus 2 necessita qualche secondo per il caricamento streaming.
    L’installazione molto semplice, un paio di tasselli e relative viti per la base e poi il corpo di tenuta si avvita, fino al punto di blocco in posizione desiderata.
    Per fare passare il cavo con il connettore femmina, invece, bisogna considerare di praticare un foro da 11 col trapano, o per passare il muro o per lamiere o strutture di legno. La lunghezza totale del cavo, incluso il tratto con l’alimentatore collegato, di circa 4 metri e 20, pertanto considerate la distanza alla prima presa a disposizione prima di posizionare la telecamera.
    Nel complesso un ottimo acquisto.

    Telecamera con ottima risoluzione

    Camera is good quality and alot faster response over WiFi than my previous argus 2 camera. Ordered 3 and some came with usb connector and some with DC pin type plug.

They were sorted very fast and Support has been excellent particularly form Sylvie

    Still in the box, awaiting better weather to climb up the ladder. As described, arrived on time. Will update when fitted. 25/04/2021 update. OK up and running now. Very impressed. Mains powered is a big plus as batteries never last as long as they should and need changing, so always go for mains power. Had to run an extension lead so I had a socket to plug in the step down power adaptor. So just bear that in mind. Camera linked to the app no problem and allows 24hr monitoring and recording (data card req) WORKS REALLY WELL. After I turned down the sensitivity to 50% no more false alarms, can watch in colour of B&W, night vision or flood light, so far 100% Recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersExcellent value for money. Very good video quality (once you change the default the recording AND playback quality from “fluent” to High/1080p), very good audio recording, good two way communication, excellent motion detection (only detects humans and warm blooded animals, not flying bugs and frogs or branches/leaves moved by the wind etc.), very good night vision, excellent levels of customisation, many options.

    What I’m missing a bit though: a simple switch to start/stop motion detection recording for all cameras at once. You can of course schedule when to detect motion and record and when not, but if you go out often at random times it’s a bit inconvenient to go into Camara 1, Settings, Camera Recording, toggle On/Off, and then do this for the 2nd (3rd etc.) camera each time. Also, there could be a bit more sensitivity (1-50 currently, maybe an extra 10 would be great), as we love to check out what our cat does at night, and in some cases the camera only records our cat when he is almost left the scene already.

    Anyway, it’s a great camera, especially for this price, I can recommended it.

    Very easy to set up and install as a stand alone CCTV camera, provided that you have a WiFi connection and a mains power connection nearby. The USB connection made it easy to feed the cable through a small hole before plugging it into its adaptor indoors.
    Just a smartphone, PC or laptop is needed to set up and view, but it is advisable to have a micro SD card installed in the camera to provide continuous local recording capability independent from a functioning WiFi connection, instead of using a Cloud based back-up.

    I have a number of Reolink cameras for my house (x2 POE’s with NVR and an existing Lumus). The existing Lumus is up in my shed and is so reliable and connects extremely fast (especially compared to the battery Argus versions). I purchased another Lumus for my front porch (inside use) and this one must be an updated version, as it comes with a new cable and extension cable so if you need to drill through a wall, you only need a small hole. The previous version had a fixed USB connector on the end, so you needed a huge hole in the wall for it to fit through, so well done Reolink for listening to us customers moans and groans and fixing this issue.

    The Lumus does a great job with notifications, has a great image day and night and controlling it with the Reolink App is a breeze and the App just gets better and better.

    Very happy with this camera and would highly recommend.

    My house is about 8′ away from next door and I wanted the camera to protect the side gates from the road. I made a bracket and mounted the camera about 4″ away from the wall pointing along the wall. I didn’t want to use the mounting on the wall as it would have been at its maximum point to the right. With the bracket it points straight ahead. In the daytime it’s great. At night time it’s dreadful, the night vision catches the wall and reflects at the camera and blinds it. The wall is so bright it turned the aperture down so the path is black. Same with the spot light it reflects off the wall and the path is black, I completely disappeared when walking along the path. The thing is only a small part of the wall is seen by the camera. I’m thinking about making a black shield or something so it doesn’t reflect off the wall.
    The mounting is dreadful, I have an Argus 2 as well. I used the magnetic mount on that and it’s amazing. This one how ever. You get the camera to the desired point and turn the locking nut,as it turns it also rotates camera shaft and the cutout mounting piece. When you do eventually get it right you have to do the plastic locking nut so tight I thought it was going to break.
    The camera is well made and picture quality is very good. One other thing to note is the software is great with 2 cameras as you can have them on the same screen on your iPad and the Lumus loads extremely quickly compared to the Argus 2 as that is battery powered.
    Update
    I have now put a piece of black tape on the side of the lens to block out most of the wall. The night vision now works well as does the spot light.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this camera to replace a less superior product, and I am very pleased with my purchase. I was easy to set up despite an initial problem scanning the barcode onto my phone. It needs a lot of clear light as the barcode is so small. The camera operates very well and is easy to set to what you want within the settings. I particularly like the spotlight feature which can be operated from the app. I have a battery operated wireless model as well which wrks just as well and both on the same app. Excellent value for money.

    Impressive cameras for the price, I needed a stand alone WiFi and wire free camera because of the location it was to be installed, after doing a fair bit of research and looking at different specs decided to buy the Reolink Argus 3 with a solar panel . I was so impressed with the performance I purchased a second camera this time a Reolink Lumus as it has a power supply and suited my needs better. It’s an excellent piece of kit for the price, HD 1080p resolution, a good quality image even on low resolution setting , remote acces via mobile phone app and very configurable . I did have a small problem with with spot light not staying on after the motion sensor was activated and thought it was a faulty unit , after emailing Reolink support , their response was very quick with a solution that resolved the problem which was surprisingly app issue not a problem with the camera, excellent customer service from Renee at Reolink support with follow up emails the next day to make sure everything was ok. All in all a great camera for the price . If I was to expand my system I would definitely use Reolink cameras again.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersOttima, non mi dilungo sugli aspetti software (vedete le altre recensioni). Per chi avesse necessita di farla passare da una canalina o cmq foro troppo stretto per la spina usb ecco come fare:
    1) prendete le misure e tagliate il cavo
    2) il cavo usb di questa telecamera ha due fili rossi e due neri
    3) fate una giunzione con un cavo anche leggermente pi grosso (tipo quello che si usa per le luci/lampade da lettura..senza la messa a terra)
    4) considerate le due coppie come un filo unico ( irrilevante quale filo rosso verra collegato, l’importante che coincida il colore…ho aperto la telecamera Lumus di persona e ho verificato: niente dati, solo + e GND
    5) cercate cmq di non esagerare nella lunghezza (i cavi usb hanno i loro limiti)
    6)usate guaine termostringenti per fare un buon lavoro (i fili sono molto sottili e con il nastro isolante si far un po’ piu di fatica.

    Ultima nota: vicino alla spina usb trovate un adesivo con i dati per accedere alla telecamera, codici vari etc. Non buttatelo!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersLike it so far, does the job. It would be better if the camera had pluggable USB power cord because the USB A connector is pretty wide and considering that the camera is mounted on the outside this could be an issue. I ended up cutting it off in order to make a smaller hole in the wall for the wire and extending the wire to reach a socket.

    Dank des PIR Sensors entfllt der lstige Fehlalarm wegen Regen, Sonne/Wolkenwechsel und der Gleichen. Ich habe die Kamera im Freien ohne berdachung aufgebaut in einer Gebudeinnenecke montiert, der groe Winkel erlaubt ein berblicken des gesamten Sichtfeldes. Also 120 waren fr diese Anwendung genau richtig, was diese Kamera auch macht. Die Auflsung ist mit 1080p nicht hervorragend, fr meine Anwendung jedoch voll ausreichend. Der Preis der Kamera lsst schon fast auf ein minderwertiges Produkt schlieen, das kann ich jedoch nicht feststellen. Die Montageplatte wird mit zwei Schrauben fixiert, das erspart ein drittes Bohrloch, was viele Kamera grundstzlich anbieten und somit auch ein zustzliches Loch im Gebude oder Balken erspart. Auf Grund des geringen Gewichts, hauptschlich des Kunststoffgehuses wegen, sind zwei Schrauben auch voll ausreichend. Das von der Kamera abgehende Kabel ist nicht lsbar und endet in deinem USB Stecker, das sollte vor dem Kauf beachten werden, da bei einer Kabeldurchfhrung und Gebudeinnere eine nicht trennbare Verbindung vorhanden ist oder der USB Stecker durch das Loch passen muss. Ich denke mein Punkt wird hier klar. Das war in meinem Fall kein Problem, da ich das Kabel in einem Gebudespalt einfach hindurchziehen knnte.

    Top Kamera ohne Fehlalarme

    Can’t find fault with this camera. Works well with the Reolink NVR and the dedicated Reolink apps and clients are brilliant. PIR events can pick up vehicles, not just people so a great security option.

    This camera is great. Picture quality is better than my battery cameras, also 1080p.
    The 4 seconds that it records pre-motion is great as you can see what is happening before someone is spotted by the camera.
    For the price I would highly recommend.
    Cable is a good length as well, long enough to have it plugged into shed and camera mounted on side of house.
    Motion detection is good, and even better with the 4 second pre motion recording.

    Night vision is great. Motion detection not perfect as it still records when motion is detected in the erased areas but sensitivity adjustment (1-100) is very accurate. Picture quality is great at 1080p

    Also ich bin von der Qualitt der Kamera begeistert. Ich habe insgesamt 11 Kameras von Reolink , davon 5 Lumus , im Einsatz. Die Bildqualitt ist wirklich top, die Farben sind natrlich und es sind viele kleine Details im Bild sehr gut zu erkennen. Was mich aber auf jeden Fall begeistert , das ist die simple Anbindung der Kameras an das Netzwerk. Der Kameracode , der sich auf der Kamera befinden , wird mit dem Smartphone eigescannt , dann das Passwort des Heimnetzwerkes eingegeben,die App generiert daraus dann einen Code , der im Smartphone angezeigt wird . Dieser wird dann vor die Kamera gehalten und eingescannt . Und das war’s schon , alles ganz einfach. Ein Satz noch zum Support. Respekt, ein toller, freundlicher und vor allem schneller Support. Ich habe mir bei der Montage der Kamera selbst einen Fehler eingebaut, den ich selbst nicht sofort erkannt habe. Abends eine E-Mail an den Support verschickt , am nchsten Tag war die Antwort mit den Lsungsvorschlgen angekommen. Htten die Lsungen nicht geholfen, htte ich eine neue Kamera im Austausch bekommen. Ich habe mich an den Lsungsvorschlag gehalten und die Kamera luft wieder. Tja , manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Bume nicht. Auf jeden Fall ist der Support von Reolink sehr schnell und empfehlenswert. Top 6 Sterne von Max 5 🙂 Ich bin mit Reolink sehr zufrieden. Ach so, noch eine Sache, ich bin ein Umsteiger – hatte bis jetzt 5Kameras von Instar gehabt, bin jetzt komplett auf Reolink umgestiegen. Der Hauptgrund war die App und vor allem die einfache Installation der Kameras.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersLa telecamera Reolink Limus nel complesso una buonissima soluzione e completa ad un prezzo competitivo. Manca di un cloud ma la possibilit di invio tramite servizio e-mail sia di video che di foto e una buonissima alternativa e oltretutto gratuito. Il PIR non sbaglia un colpo !!! Pochi i secondi per la registrazione personalizzata di un messaggio , riprodotto quando viene rilevato un movimento . Peccato che quando viene attivata tale funzionalit , con il playback della registrazione ci si accorge che l’audio corrotto . Speriamo che reolink risolvi questo bugs magari con un aggiornamento . Mentre La Luce led frontale di buona intensit , e si attiva solo in modalit notturna o su richiesta dall’app.

    La configurazione del wifi (SSID, password) vengono inviate alla telecamera facendogli inquadrare un QR code che compare nello schermo dello smartphone dove c’ l’app installata. Io ho avuto qualche difficolt in questo riconoscimento, ero quasi sul punto di rinunciare, perch se non riesce questo riconoscimento iniziale la telecamera non si collega al wifi di casa ed inutilizzabile. Invece installando il software Reolink sul computer windows e eseguendo questo riconoscimento tra la telecamera e il QR code visualizzato sullo schermo del computer, finalmente ha funzionato. Servirebbe un modo alternativo di potersi collegare alla telecamera ad es da computer via usb per impostare manualmente le configurazioni del wifi. Il resto della telecamera ottimo. Forse solo la sensibilit wifi non tanto buona, scegliete un punto dove ci sia abbastanza segnale wifi per fare le impostazioni iniziali. Io ci ho messo una microSD da 8GB che avevo a casa e ci stanno parecchi giorni (registra solo i minuti quando c’ movimento)

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersHe comprado muchas cmaras de video de diferentes maracas. Realmente este cmaras funciona muy bien.
    – Tienen buen alcance de deteccin.
    – Genera pocas alarmas falsas…lgicamente si algo se mueve bruscamente (una arbusto) lo detectan como alarma.
    – la opcin del foco led es muy chulo, y ofrece ese extra de claridad en la noche.
    – el cable es de 3 metros para la instalacin…para algunos casos esta bien pero para otros casos no tiene sentido. Adems pasar el USB por sitios estrechos puede ser una odisea.
    – las alarmas son muy rpidas y los email con los video o imgenes tambin.
    – el servicio de la nube no est disponible en Europa por lo cual tienes que morir a la tarjeta sd y esto te obliga a instalar las cmaras en lugares sin accesibilidad para que el caco no se lleve la tarjeta o la cmara.
    – la app funciona muy bien

    Solo tiene una pega, pero no se lo puedo atribuir a que sea problema de la cmara: si cortas la luz de toda la casa, al restablecimiento algunas cmaras se queda offline en la app fuera de la red local (dentro de la red las puedes ver sin problema). Sigue enviando las alertas pero no tienes acceso a la canara desde la app. No se si el problema viene por los tiempos de reactivacin de cada elemento (router, wifi, cmara, etc).

    Es muy importante que sepis que esta cmara solo se conecta con wifi y como muchas cmaras del mercado, si no tienes una buena cobertura la cmara no funcionar bien, aunque guardar todos los eventos en la microsd. Recomiendo revisar bien la cobertura wifi y si no llega bien poner un extensor solo dedicado a la cmara.

    Yo recomiendo esta cmara, funciona realmente bien y estoy muy contento con ellas (tengo 4). Llevan poco tiempo instaladas, pero transmite la sensacin de no fallar.
    Un saludo

    Bought one of these for the rear garage alley way to stop illegal dumping and caught a neighbour doing it! Spotted fox’s and cats! The other covers the garden. They do the job well. Reasonably easy to set up. Google security doesn’t like the app even though it comes from Play store. Thus I have set the app up on an old un sim’d phone using a different email account to keep it separate from things I need to keep secure. This e-mails me when it is set to do so. I put a 32gb Micro SD in the camera that provides recording and play back. I can watch remotely switch on the light and even tell the fly tipping neighbour off on the loud speaker or set off the alarm from the comfort of my living room. The furthest camera is about 90 feet away from the router.

    I wanted a front door camera. The Lumus plus a 7 inch Android tablet cost me 120. Compared to the cost of Google Nest Hub and Nest Camera, with a monthly charge for storage, this is a snip. The tablet is dedicated to front door camera which works without a hitch using the camera’s App. A 64 GB sd card in the camera stores months of video snippets. Good solution.

    This was easy to fit although had to drill through a wall, this was made more difficult due to the usb connection each end so a larger hole than really needed. Very easy setup and the results are worth the effort, due to the 3 metre cable length the limits the siting as you need a socket. Great quality produc

    There’s very little to complain about, the camera seems to work very well and the set up was quick and easy. Functionality is superb and the app is really easy to use. There’s an awful lot to like about the Reolink cameras.

    The reason I’ve only given 4 stars is that the cloud storage isn’t available in the U.K due to GDPR, which seems strange as other makers of these kind of cameras can offer cloud storage and meet the regulations.

    I would really like to see a doorbell added to the range. The main obstacle to being able to really rave about Reolink is the lack of cloud storage. They have though emailed me and explained how hard they are working on this, so fingers crossed, and as soon as they do I’ll be happy to edit my 4 star review to 5 stars.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is my 5th reolink camera, 3x argos pro, 1x 3m baby cam. Set up was easy, the only problem is the size of the hole in the wall you need to get the USB plug through. I was lucky, my Christmas lights used the same size hole so it easy for me. To make it even easier the bracket allows you to clamp it to a square UK drainpipe with cable ties (not supplied) so its hidden from site in one direction.
    If you can get around the :
    a) Hole issue
    b) the 3 metre cable length
    c) Somewhere easy to strap it to.
    Its a bargain. Turned off the LED light on the camera as I have a 150watt spotlight covering the same area.
    Recorded my own alarm sound (pack of dogs barking like mad). Think I’ve got a good system for the money. On a side issue the wifi card on this device does not appear to be as good as the battery powered ones. although it installed okay it started dropping the wifi. In the end had to use a extender. It wasn’t even that far from the router. It works fine with the extender but just be aware to test it where it will be installed before fixing.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersAbsolutely delighted with the Lumus camera. I have been looking for a replacement system for the Y-Cam cameras I’ve been using for the past 6+ years. Y-Cam is cloud based so no local storage and their app just works. What doesn’t work is their cameras (at times) So many issues but so easy to use, I just kept putting off finding another make. Anyway I took the plunge and wow have I been putting up with some sh1t for years. The Lumus has so many useful features, I really don’t know where to start. Ok firstly, the spot light, it’s so responsive and does a good job of turning night vision into colour. The light can be set to turn on when movement is detected or just turned on and off by the user as and when. A nice feature is the user can turn off the flashing light on the front of the camera that lets people know it’s recording, it keeps them guessing which I like as people tend to look longer and harder at the camera trying to figure out if it live. When you go to live view it’s almost instant, Y-Cam would think about it for two minutes and if Y-Cam was recording something when you wanted to live view, you could forget about it. Anything the Lumus records is available to view instantly and finding recordings you want is easy. Zones are easy to set up and can be scheduled to start or stop at any time. Saving the settings / changes in the camera is also instant. The setting up on the app couldn’t be made easier, it’s child’s play. The speaker that allows you to speak to people is also amazing, I tried it with the dog who was in a different part of the house at the time and she came running right up to the camera trying to find me. Another nice feature is that you have to turn on the volume when watching recordings. This is great as I can watch them at work without anyone hearing it, I just turn the sound on when it’s necessary. The recordings are started 5 seconds before the incident occurs so the camera is always watching and you don’t miss what lead to the camera tripping and you adjust the time up to one minute for the recording to end after the action / movement stops. The Y-Cam would be tripped by movement but stop recording after 30 seconds whether the incident had ended or not, most frustrating. Not so with the Lumus, it only stops recording when movement stops and then it continues for that set period up to one minute so you miss nothing. So much more to praise this camera about but I will end by saying on top of all the aforementioned, it’s a bargain price. I have 14 Y-Cams to replace now and Reolink will be taking their place.

    This camera is good all round with limitations. The visual side is good distance is the big problem. The picture quality is good both night and day, wasn’t very good for what I wanted, my car is 30ft from my house and this camera couldn’t provide the picture quality I wanted for that distance. At short distance it is very good.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI purchased this camera to alert us if we had a delivery/visitor at the front door while in the back garden. It does this but there is sometimes a delay in receiving the “push message” we have the alert on 2 separate phones. If the phone is active it is a instant message but after a while the phones will “go to sleep” I have tried several settings and apps including increasing the phones “heartbeat” to 2 minutes but with limited success. I know the camera is sending the push alert instantly and as I believe all cameras use the same “push message” system this is not the cameras fault but would like the option for the Reolink app to keep the phone awake.
    Also the enclosed setup instructions are rubbish and even the website only have generic instruction for the camera and app. It took me several YouTube videos to realize there is a small setup bar-code on the rear of the camera you have to point your “phone” camera at, (Note if the camera is already mounted on the wall this will be impossible) then point the “camera” at your phone display very confusing.
    It would be nice to include a memory card in the box and not need to purchase one separately as there will be no play back without one.
    I have used this camera for over a month and once you get to know the settings it works well, I do adjust the settings via my PC app as this is easier than on the phone app.
    Also having viewed several YouTube comparison reviews this camera has a much better quality picture than ones over 3 times the price, and I am pleased with the picture quality both day and night.
    The “sensor light” on the camera is not very bright but it is enough to see your way in the dark, and enough for the camera to see colour in the dark
    It has a 3 metre long power lead with a normal size USB plug on the end, I would have preferred a smaller plug as you need to drill holes about 20mm to feed the wire through.
    Fortunately our router is not far from the camera so I cannot give a comment on how good the signal strength is but we have had no connection problems.
    I would be happy to purchase this camera again at this price due to the good picture and the ability to talk and listen to visitors at the front door from anywhere.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersTras mucho comparar me decant por esta cmara y estoy bastante satisfecho ya que rene las caractersticas que buscaba como buena calidad de imagen, sirena y luz incorporada. La calidad de imagen est bastante bien y puedes modificar la calidad desde la app. La sirena no es muy potente, pero lo suficiente para que se oiga si tienes la cmara en el exterior de la vivienda. En cuanto a la luz, por la noche da una luz suficiente para alumbrar claramente el lugar donde est situada. He de decir que yo la tengo instalada en una casa, a pie de calle y me funciona muy bien, pero si la quieres para una casa con parcela, puede que tanto la sirena como el foco sean insuficientes y deberas buscar otras alternativas con ms potencia. Otra cosa a destacar, y muy importante, es que la app funciona muy bien en mi iPhone y falla muy pocas veces. Hay otra cmara similar pero que se alimenta con una batera recargable pero yo eleg esta otra que hay que conectarla a la luz porque tiene una caracterstica muy importante y es que graba en bucle unos 6 7 segundos de forma constante, con lo cual si salta la alarma el video que graba empieza unos segundos antes de que salte la alarma, por lo que puedes ver que es lo que ha provocado dicha alarma. Adems, hay que tener en cuenta que entras bastantes veces en la app para ver las cmaras, por lo que si compras una cmara a batera sta reducir la carga considerablemente.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought this to cover my front drive. The picture quality day and night is good and it also records sounds quite clearly. The accompanying (iOS version for me) app is ok but a bit clunky. You can speak to delivery people via the camera so it can be used as a limited video doorbell. However, although when connected on the same Wi-Fi network, connection to the camera is good, when trying to access it remotely over 4G it can be a bit flakey.
    The one major issue I had with it was that it stopped giving push notifications during certain times of the day. Finally resolved with Reolink support via email (it was their problem – server related apparently).
    The camera is very configurable. You can select when it notifies and when it’s built in siren sounds (customisable). Note this camera needs a constant power supply.
    The only other minor niggle is that it does have a motion zone mask that gets confused in deep contrast. My camera also covers part of the road so I can see vehicles that visitors come from but I set the motion mask to only detect people on the drive else it would detect every passing vehicle. This works 90% of the time but when the sun shines and the road is in shadow it starts alerting for every passing vehicle. A bit annoying.
    Also be aware that this camera only records on detecting motion; it does not record 24/7, but when it does record, you need to install a separate SD card into the camera body to capture the recordings. These are accessible remotely from the app on your smartphone.
    Overall, a decent product for the price.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersEndlich habe ich die Kamera nach meinen Bedrfnissen. Die Bewegungsmeldung in Kombination mit PIR klappt ausgesprochen gut. Stufenlose Einstellung zwischen 1-50 mglich. Da ich auch einige Argus 2 in Betrieb habe, kann ich gut vergleichen…. ich habe jetzt bei der Lumus die Empfindlichkeit der Bewegungserkennung so weit runtergesetzt, das kaum mehr Fehlalarme durch Schattenbildung etc. Vorhanden sind aber dennoch tatschliche Bewegungen auslsen und durch die 4 sec. Voraufzeichung ist auch immer alles zu sehen was den Alarm ausgelst hat. Bei der Argus 2 ist leider oftmals z.b eine Person die auslst schon durch und nicht mehr auf der Aufzeichnung zu erkennen. Und, was sehr positiv ist, man kann Bereiche markieren und von der Bewegungserkennung ausschlieen, Habe ich zb mit Pflanzen gemacht die bei Wind immer wieder zu Fehlalarmen fhrten.
    Das einzige, was ich nicht so gut finde ist, dass das Stromkabel fest an der Kamera ist, dies hat bei der Verlegung des Kabels mit der USB Seite (durch Fenster oder Wand) zu einem innenliegenden Netzstecker zu etwas Aufwand gefhrt. Und sollte die Kamera einmal an eine andere Position, ist der Rckbau auch viel aufwendiger. Ein separates Kabel miT Steckverbindungen an beiden Seiten, wre aus meiner Sicht sinnvoller…aber egal. Spotlight brauche ich nicht, also kann ich nichts zu sagen.
    FAZIT: die Kamera ist Top und der Reolink Support sowieso immer wiede

    Ich habe nun schon einige Kameras verschiedenster Hersteller in Betrieb gehabt. Mich haben immer die stndigen Fehlalarme genervt, besonders in der Nacht, wo kleine Fliegen vor die Linse fliegen und immer einen Alarm/Aufzeichnung ausgelst haben. Der PIR Sensor der Lumus macht diese Arbeit deutlich besser. Die Aufnahmen, die Nachts ausgelst werden, sind entweder streunende Katzen oder wenn eine Spinne ihr Netz direkt vor der Linse spinnt. Worauf man auch achten sollte ist, dass nicht zu viele sich bei Wind stark bewegenden ste oder Bsche im Erfassungsbereich der Kamera liegen, denn die Kamera nutzt eine Kombination aus PIR und Bewegungserkennung und wrde dann wieder eine Aufnahme auslsen. Dies lsst sich allerdings durch die App gut korrigieren, indem man den Alarmbereich und die Sensitivitt der Sensoren anpassen kann. Generell ist die App sehr gut gemacht und luft bei mir zuverlssig. Die Montage ist ebenfalls sehr leicht und ermglicht die Kamera nach eigenen Wnschen zu montieren und in alle erdenkliche Richtungen auszurichten.
    Zwei Kritikpunkte habe ich allerdings auch. Zum einen ist die Reichweite mit ca. 7m des PIR Sensors fr meinen Geschmack etwas gering. Das Manko wird aber durch die Pre-Recording Funktion weitestgehend beseitigt. Der zweite Punkt ist, dass keine Speicherung der Aufnahmen auf dem Router oder NAS erfolgen kann.
    Alles in allem ist die Kamera fr meine Bedrfnisse perfekt und bietet meiner Meinung nach Funktionen und eine Qualitt, die man ansonsten von deutlich teureren Modellen kennt. Mittlerweile habe ich 4 Kameras der Lumus im Einsatz, da ich mit dieser Kamera sehr zufrieden bin.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe Reolink Lumus camera is ideal for monitoring a porch area or doorway and has an ultra bright spotlight for full colour night vision. There is also good quality 2 way audio and the option to sound an alarm or announce a short message of your choice. The camera is compact and robust and it can be installed on a wall or ceiling and has a non extendable 3 metre cable. The cable was far too short for my installation so I simply made up a 5 metre mains extension cable to go through the roof space of my garage. The camera is mounted vertically under the soffit so the cable is protected from the weather.

    I have allocated the Lumus to a channel on my NVR and have also installed a 64GB SD card for backup purposes. The image quality is very good in both day and night modes and I have set the camera up to send push notifications when someone is within 1 metre of the front door. I haven’t received any false alerts and the push notifications take between 1-3 seconds to arrive on my phone and iPad. Playback is very simple on the free Reolink app and there are no subscriptions to pay.

    I have had a ring doorbell installed for the past 3 years and have never really been that impressed with it. The Lumus, although not a door bell, easily outperforms it and may be a good option considering it to be subscription free. Looking at it a different way, the average video doorbell subscription will pay for a Lumus in 2 years!

    I have slowly built up confidence in Reolink over the past 6 months and I now have 12 cameras on my home security system. I have 5 of the E1 internal cameras and 6 ethernet cameras plus the all new Lumus. They are all connected to the Reolink NVR and viewable on the free app.

    For the price point, Reolink security products represent excellent value for money and have a 2.5 year warranty and first class customer/technical support.

    Hence I’ve got the both the Argus 2 And the Lumus to try.

    Picture quality – Lumus has good footage, more saturated but narrower angle compare to Argus2. (Wider photo without water mark attached is from Argus2, you can see Lumus in the right) Not necessarily a bad thing depending on your application.

    Night vision – the LED light isn’t all that bright to the naked eye, so it’s not going to serve as a flood light but also it’s not going to be too intrusive to neighbours. However the Lumus sensor really make use of the additional lamination to give a impressively brighter footage, you can almost called it coloured-nightvision. Night time shot with the LED light on basically completely light up my small garden as shown in photo.

    Zone motion detection – But the times I have tested it in the Garden it has worked well. I still need to install it toward the front of the house to see if it can distinguish motion at my front door or on the side walk.

    Alert – very fast within 2 secs I will be alerted of any motions.

    App – fairly fast to load, easy to use and reliable so far.

    Weakness: Require strong Wi-fi signal, I still haven’t fixed neither of the Reolink cameras to the outside of the house, sadly this is because my stock BT router is too weak for them to connect to from the opposite side of the building. I wanted to position it 10 meters away passing 1 internal wall and 1 window but it was too much for them (note the Neos & Mi cameras didn’t skip a beat with connecting in any part of the building, even out in the garden) so I will need to fork out some more to get a Wi-fi booster just so I can use these Reolink cameras.

    I will come back to update this review once I’ve have more experience with it.

    Impressive night time footage

    Nice and simple to set up, It would be even better if it was 4K, picture quality is good and the pir sensor is reasonable

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have 7 other reolink cameras but this is my first Lumus. And I will be sticking with them.
    I have a ring doorbell but don’t like the subscription model. So I thought I’d try this camera, , but not expecting much from the two way talk. But I was surprised. That even tho the camera is so it off the way the sound is clear and the picture is a little better than my ring.
    The only thing I could say what the Lumus isn’t great at, is the alerts are a bit delayed sometimes. And don’t expect a powerful floodlight it’s enough for the camera to see clearly but not super bright.

    But I will be getting another at some point!

    Great little camera light, more bang for buck than the ring floodlight and better picture quality.
    Ive ordered another but wont arrive until Augus

    Great little camera and amazingly cheap considering it includes a spotlight and the ability to record continuously. Also kudos to Reolink for supporting Mac desktop PCs as well as Windows/Android and mobile devices. They may be the only CCTV manufacturer who properly support the Mac.

    I use my Lumus to monitor the cat at the patio door and alert me when she wants to be let in – for which purpose it is ideal. See my review at https://amzn.to/2Ts20Uh which also highlights a couple of small bugs in the Reolink softwarebut they only reduced my rating from 6 stars to 5.

    I imagine it would also be a great camera for monitoring children in the garden and shouting at them.

    Podczy, skonfigurowa, zamontowa, zapomnie. Kada kamera Reolink jest taka sama ta niczym si w tum wzgldzie nie rni. W przeciwiestwie od innych firm tutaj nie ma zabawy w ustawienia, resetowania, babrania si z niedziaajcym badziewiem.

    Lumus ma jedynie 1080p co w zupenoci wystarcza do potrzeb na jakie zostaa zrobiona ta kamera, nawet sam zasig diod IR, 10m daje zna, e jest to kamerka na bliskie odlegoci i do takiego monitoringu sprawdza si idealnie.
