I bought these tonrwplace my old dome one’s so I could tie everything in under one brand. Don’t get me wrong they provide good quality images and video but to get them to work along side blueiris is a pain and settings have to be unchecked to make these cameras work which Push up CPU usage on the server. They probably work well with their own NVR but not really well with others and I should of listened and gone amcrest instead. But generally well pleased otherwise.
Premetto che questa mia valutazione solamente parziale e NON veritiera, perch con tutta onesta, a mio parere per esprimere un giudizio il pi reale e completo dovreste attendere almeno 4/5 mesi dalla prima installazione. Solo allora potrei sentirmi di esprimere un giudizio il piu onesto e conforme alla realt del prodotto (tutto il resto, prima di questo periodo di prova FUFFA, NON REALE).
Se volete ci potremmo risentire fra 4/5 mesi., .
Buon lavoro
Absolutely stunning and has great value for money. I am using it for my home security as the main front door and back garden camera. I must say that I have been blown away by the quality and great features. i was bit short on budget so bit reluctant to buy these cameras as compare to the main brands, but i just been amazed with everything.
En lisant certains commentaires j’ai faillit me rtracter mais au final elles fonctionnent super bien. Je lisais pleins de problmes avec la sensibilit et les faux positifs mais au final avec les tutos YouTube et quelques heures a prendre en main les rglages c’est parfait. La dtection marche parfaitement, les vidos sont nettes… Bref content de cet acha
Per quel poco che le ho provate andavano bene, sia la vista giorno che la vista notte, interessante il riconoscimento di persone/auto/animali anche se non l’ho testato. Ho dovuto renderle perch non erano compatibili con il mio attuale sistema di sorveglianza.
Bene il fatto che tutte le parti esterne siano in metallo, aiuta a dissipare il (parecchio) calore che generano, ottimo anche il prezzo, fin troppo basso direi. Peccato che non sia presente la codifica h265.
Das Preis-Leistungsverhltnis ist sehr gut.
Ich betreibe beide Kameras an einem Netgear PoE Switch i.V.M einem QNAP TS-431 XeU fr die Aufzeichnung. Die Bildqualitt ist am Tag wie in der Nacht tadellos. Bislang laufen beide Kameras zuverlssig im Dauerbetrieb ohne Strung oder Unterbrechung.
Bei der Bestellung ggf. direkt an die Reolink Anschlussdose D20 denken. Soll die Kamera den Kabelauslass direkt verdecken, ist das die passende Lsung (zumindest fr jemanden, der nicht “frickeln” oder mit dem Stemmeisen Platz in der Wand schaffen will).
Die Kamera lsst sich auch nach der Montage sehr gut ausrichten und positionieren.
Auspacken, anschlieen und es funzt! Hatte vorher Probleme mit NVR, gute Serviceuntersttzung. Problem konnte nicht gelst werden, dann umgehender sofortiger Austausch. Vorbildlich.
Really like these cameras. The connect easily to Blue Iris.
Picture quality (day & night) is very good.
However, there’s a problem…. Once you’ve pointed the camera in the desired direction, you can’t lock it in place. On our installation, a strong gust of wind will knock the camera out of alignment. Additionally, if the camera is within reach, it’s VERY easy to dismount it from the mount.
Having said that, I’d certainly buy more of them. It’s just a pity Reolink didn’t think to put a locking mechanism on the camera.
Facilit di montaggio e la qualit del video alta. Nulla di dire. L’unica pecca che le targhe delle macchine che passano di notte non si leggono ma visto il prezzo non si pu pretendere altro. Per il resto zero problemi
berrascht haben mich im nachhinein die Funktionen der Kamera. Dass fr diesen Preis schon eine Bereichseinschrnkung der Motions und eine Privatsphreneinstellung fr gewisse Bereiche dabei ist hat mich sehr berrascht. Diese funktioniert einwandfrei. Man kann auch einfach ber die IP per Weboberflche einsteigen und Einstellungen ttigen oder direkt ber die App. Es ist auch ganz einfach konfigurierbar in Sachen Benachrichtigung bei Motion. Die Bedienoberflche bedarf keiner Erklrung und ist wirklich einfach aufgebaut. Ich habe die Kamera in den homeassistant.io eingebunden. Per ONVIF funktioniert das auch einwandfrei. Jedoch kann ich ber ONVIF keine Automatisierung in Sachen was passiert wenn sich was bewegt einstellen.

Nachtrag: Habe die Info bekommen, dass es ber Motioneye funktionieren sollte. Muss das noch testen

Die Nachtsicht ist soweit ok. Fr diesen Preis auch etwas was mich berrascht hat. Was noch etwas nervig ist, ist wenn drauen viele Wolken vor der Sonne vorbeiziehen und es immer wieder hell und dunkel wird. Da bekomme ich derzeit jedesmal eine Push Benachrichtigung. Habe mich aber hierzu noch nicht eingelesen ob das Steuerbar ist. Kurze Info.. Die Kamera ist nur Hndisch ausrichtbar und nicht elektronisch. Fr mich ok, weil ich das anders nicht bentige. Fr mich auf jeden Fall ein Super Gert fr diesen Preis. Kurze Info zur Stromanspeisung. Da es 2 Gerte sind wrde ich gleich einen POE Switch vorschlagen. Ich habe den gekauft: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0763TGBTS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Dann braucht man nicht extra fr jedes Teil einen eigenen Adapte
Franchement pour le prix je suis satisfait, fonctionne parfaitement, accessible depuis le monde entier via l’application (si vous avez un bon dbit d’upload).
J’espre juste qu’ils implmenteront une “AI” pour dclencher les enregistrements du type :
– Dtection d’humains, animaux, vhicules …
Nice and easy to use camera. I use with BlueIris, and setup was easy once connected to the network.
I found logging onto the camera and enabling the dynamic range functionality improved the image quality at night, with changing light levels.
Quality overall appears to be quite high and no issues so far. Only thing to consider is that the attached cable contained an RJ45 socket, power barrel socket and also the reset button.
I run this on an isolated network, and can also note that it functions fine as a standalone camera with no cloud requirements. Some of my other ReoLink cameras love to attempt web traffic on a regular basis.
L’unico problema riscontrato stata la sincronizzazione dell’ora che pur eseguita tornava di un ora indietro. Reolink dovreste fare puntate la regolazione su un ntp server oppure consentirne la configurazione dalla app reolink
Pros:
1. Video bitrate up to 10Mbps — very detailed and clear view.
2. Cheap (when compared to Google Nest), and it works!
3. Good IR-empowered night vision!
4. Its android App is ad-free, light and full-functional! Good UI design.
Cons:
1. The quality of the waterproof connector is bad.
2. Video latency (both FLV and RTSP streams) for 1-2s, even in the same LAN by using H.264 baseline profile for substream.
3. No NFS/SCP/Samba uploading support.
4. OSD cannot be set transparent.
5. Lack of cloud platform support.
6. Finally, it cut the price from 79 to 72 just after I received the package!
Diese Kamera hat eine gute Bildqualitt, kann ber PoE mit Strom versorgt werden und ist einfach anzuschlieen. Nachteilig ist der Kabelbruch, der bei der Auenmontage verdeckt werden muss und an dem der Reset-Knopf zugnglich ist.
Die Kameras sind leider schrecklich.
Wegen jedem Insekt bekommt man einen Hinweis. Aber kaum steht was vor der Haustre was entwendet wird, sieht man erst wie die Personen wegfahren. Die Ankunft und die Verladung des Gegenstandes wurden nicht aufgezeichnet. Ganz klar ist die Kamera so total untauglich.
War gleich begeistert!!! Bildqualitt sehr gut Tags ber, Nachts ist es auch ganz gut, der Ton wenn man von der Reolink App aus anschaut ist gut!!! Installation auch sehr einfach zu handhaben.Schaue mir fast jeden Tag ber die App an was meine Leute in Serbien Grad so treiben, deshalb habe ich die Cams auch gekauft und bin sehr sehr zufrieden…die zwei Cams habe ich dazu gekauft und zustzlich an meine noch vier Cams um das Haus meiner Eltern installiert auch von Reolink ,ging alles ohne Probleme. Kann jedem im allgemeinen Reolink nur im positiven weiter Empfehlen.
For the price when on offer, these are excellent POE cameras with a good clear image.
I do wish that continual recording over FTP was possible so that I could just send a stream to my NAS rather than having to use some kind of DVR software.
Night vision range is “ok” but nothing special. It’ll be fine for most purposes.
Des camras exceptionnelles pour leurs prix, une qualits digne d’une grande marque mais le petit point ngatif c’est quand mme la dtection de mouvement qui serait un plus si elle tait intelligente en diffrenciant les toiles d’araignes, les changements de luminosits et autre fausses alertes.
J’en ai install pas loin d’une quarantaines dont 6 mon domicile et toutes en extrieur que ce soit chez moi ou chez des amis touts le monde en est trs satisfait.
La 1ere que j’ai installe chez moi ( pour essayer ) fte aujourd’hui ses 3 ans d’activits en extrieur.
Concernant le stockage sur carte SD pour l’instant je suis mont 128Gb ce qui nous perme d’avoir une visu sur une semaine d’enregistrement malgr les fausses alertes.
Je les recommande mais je pense que les 200 de diffrence avec une hickvision acusense risque de me faire passer le pas voir si cette somme en vaut la chandelle voir si Rolink me fera une offre pour essayer leur nouvelles version RLC-810A-8MP j’attends de leurs nouvelles.
These Reolink cameras are exceptional, very easy to install and their intuitive interface makes their operation incredibly simple. You can record locally onto a small memory card, or connect them up to reolink video recorder NVR for uninterrupted 24/7 recording. Easy to playback on your phone or live view so you can see whats going on from wherever you are complete with sound. One ethernet cable from a Power Over Ethernet switcher or reolinks own NVR is all you need for both power and pictures or ive seen that reolink also have solar powered wireless devices for those hard to reach areas – although they’re a bit expensive for me.
After a recent crime in our street we had a police officer knock at the door and ask if he could review our footage, when we told him our system was reolink, even he said its one of the best and has Reolink cameras himself.
Perfect security camera to integrate with Blueiris. Great image quality and resolution is more than enough for covering a large area. Viewing angle is good and camera works better than others when elevated as aspect ratio is closer to 4:3. Night vision (with IR leds) works well too.
Build quality is also very good and have no concerns when fitting these externally. Just be sure to use a waterproof housing for the eth connectio
Originally bought by mistake as I thought they were wifi cameras but due to good reviews did bot return them. Read up on POE and managed to set them up easily and they work really well. Can watch cameras on iPhone or our computer. Movement recorded to SD cards. Feel more secure.
Dead easy to configure, these are a doddle to fit given they are powered via the network over POE. App seems well designed and reliable, to me a step up from my previous cams (ieGeek, which were reliable but lower image quality).
Happy with the resolution and night vision mode, just wish the cable base thats available was a bit less expensive and a better fit for the camera (it is larger, unnecessarily so in my opinion). All in all would buy again.
Bought these to add to my 2 Foscam IP cams that are no longer stocked, Imaged quality is superb, but the night vision, which is often the Achilles heel of cameras is absolutely crystal clear.
The difference in quality between the Foscam’s (that are really good) and these is astounding.
Simple to set up on my Synology nas, but you do get an iphone / android app, and also a standalone PC app too.
With a POE switch, they are up and configured in minutes, using the free utility.
Extremely pleased with my purchase, Especially as I was unaware of the Reolink brand before seeing them.
Die Kamera(s) sind fr meine NAS Synology Surveillance – und fr den Preis definitiv und absolut das beste Produkt fr die Eigenheim berwachung.
Das Bild gestochen scharf
Beim Nachtmodus sind bis auf die fehlenden Farben durch IR das Gefhl das es Tag hell ist
Sogar die Tonaufnahme ausgezeichnet.
Fr alle die eine passende Kamera fr Surveillance App suchen: Bitte sehr – ihr werdet es nicht bereuen.
I have been looking at IP camera’s for a long while and I made the classic mistake of buying cheap and buying twice well three years ago I purchased 4 cheap 30 IP Camera’s and a Joona NVR it all works but the quality is lacking on everything. This time I wanted to go for something good and this is It. I am very impressed the quality is just perfect and on top that they also record audio which is a must for me. Overall these IP cameras are what I will be moving to. I recommend these cameras to colleagues in my office and often get asked working in IT what to buy and this is what I recommend
Sehr Gut,
wie Beschrieben/Versprochen TOP!!!
Das System ist sehr einfach zu installieren/montieren, einfache Bedienung.
Funktioniert Tadellos.
Mit dem RLK8 kann man 8 Kameras anschlieen.
Auf RLK8 ist eine 2 TB HDD Vorinstalliert, man kann bis zu 8TB erweitern(4 TB intern und 4TB Auen ber den
e-SATA Anschluss)
Die 8Mp Kameras sind echt toll sehr scharfes Bild.
4xB800-8MP waren im Set dabei und 2xRLC-520-5MP sind dazu gekommen jetzt sind es insgesamt 6 x Kameras
funktioniert toll, System Harmoniert einfach super ,2 Kameras kommen bestimmt noch dazu 😉
Wenn es mehr Sterne zur Auswahl gbe dann wrde ich die auch ohne zu zgern verteilen.
Support ist auch sehr schnell, kompetent,freundlich und entgegenkommend.
Groes DANKE an Reolink !!!
Reolink Forever !!!
I was never keen on POE systems in the past but after buying the kit a few months ago i was very impressed especially in the easy of install and the value for money for a quality product.
So decided to expand the system with more cams.
They arrived quickly and are well packed.
The only thing worth mentioning is that you do not get any cable with the cams apart from a short patch lead so expect to have to supply your own ethernet cable.
Prix comptitif , image de qualit satisfaisante , support REOLINK trs ractif . Seul bmol , le webviewer utilise Adobe flash player comme plugin , indispensable la visualisation des images . Adobe annonce la fin de vie de flash player fin 2020 , et la dernire version n’est plus compatible avec tous les navigateurs internet comme Firefox . En consquence cette camra n’est pas compatible avec tous les navigateurs internet . Le nouveau firmware devrait rsoudre ce problme . L’alternative est d’utiliser l’application client de reolink .en attendant . Photos jointes , sous Firefox , avec un cran blanc aprs activation de Flash Playe
Nouveau firmware prévu en fin d'année 2020

J’ai install plusieurs de ces modles pour une utilisation avec Blue Iris.
Installation aise grce l’appli, interface avec le logiciel facile aussi. La qulait d’image est bonne sans etre exceptionnelle.
Mes deux seuls petit regrets:
– Base en plastique ( voir dans le temps)
– Peu de rglages sur le flux video principal au del de la simple rsolution (bitrate, codec…)
– FLux secondaire sans rglages du tou
Recently had a camera go faulty after sky fitted a new modem. Reolink didn’t hesitate in sending a new one even though it had just out of guarantee.
Unfortunately the fitter broke the casing when fitting so reolink sent me another new one.
Reolinks customer service is unbeatable and they do lead by example
Thank you reolink, you are one of the best company’s I have ever dealt with.
+VE: easy installed and connected, I liked the fact that through one screen can see more than one camera image.
-VE: the cameras are fixed, can zoom in and out but one fixed direction. panning function would have been nice but then it would cost more. wasn’t a deal breaker.
Easy setup, literally plug & play, 4 cameras connected via a POE switch to the router, with a 3rd party offsite storage service for video & picture, but you can use Reolink’s own facility or just use an NVR.
Cameras are well made, great picture quality day & night, with easy scheduling of motion & email functions via the App.
These are great value for money.
Picture quality is great, easy to install, although the twist style attachment should be lockable.
The windows software is a bit janky but all the features are there. The fact you can record to anywhere (locally) is a feature I wouldn’t do without.
Setup properly they’re also very secure and the support is good.
Couldn’t ask for anything else and for the price there are just no complaints.
Very happy with the two cameras I purchased – installation simple, wide angle great, and picture quality is excellent. A couple of points – first the SD card only records after motion detection is triggered. It is not recording all the time which is unlike other cameras I have.
As I’m recording motion detection via FTP on to my NAS, the SD card is pretty much redundant. That’s a good job because, second point, one of the cameras just started reporting that it has no SD card (which it has and has been working fine since I installed it.) Out with the ladder.
Ich habe lange gesucht um eine passende berwachung fr mein Grundstck zu finden. Ich habe mich nach langer Recherche fr die Reolink 5 MP PoE Kameras entschieden.
Mir war zum einen wichtig das ich nicht unntig viele Kabel verlege und zum anderen das der Stromverbrauch niedrig ist.
Ich habe auf meinem Grundstck eine PV-Anlage mit 400 AH, 12V, zur Verfgung das reicht fr den Betrieb eines LTE Routers 12w 230v, TP Link POE Injektor, Edecoa Spannungswandler und diese beiden Kameras ohne das der Stromverbrauch zu hoch ist.
Durch PoE habe ich nun pro Kamera ein Kabel fr stabiles Internet und Stromversorgung. Die Verbindung zum LTE Router erfolgt von alleine durch die Verbindung von LTE Router mit Lankabel zu dem POE Injektor.
Jetzt muss man sich nur noch die Reolink App runterladen und mit dem Wlan des LTE Routers verbinden und schon hat man die Kameras in der App gespeichert und kann individuelle Namen vergeben.
Ich habe fr eine Kamera 50m Cat6 und fr die andere Kamera 10m Cat5.e verlegt, funktioniert beides ohne Probleme. Beide besitzen jeweils eine 64 GB Speicherkarte (Gnstigste hier von Amazon, reicht auch eine Ewigkeit.)
Positives an den Kameras:
+Sehr schnelle Verbindung ber mobile Daten mit den Kameras, kein ewiges Laden !
+Qualitt einstellbar zwischen Flssig (Low) und Klar (High)
+Qualitt trotz vorheriger Aufnahme unter Low auch in High von der SD-Karte abspielbar. Beide Qualitten kann man per App runterladen.
+Datenverbrauch ber mobile Daten nur bei aktiven Streamen ! Oder Upload in die Cloud bei Bewegungen. (Ich habe 10GB LTE, das wird auch fr zwei weitere Kameras reichen. (Nach 5 Tagen Nutzung liegt der Datenverbrauch bei 143,36 MB ohne Cloud, wurde erst heute aktiviert.)
+Qualitt ist hervorragend, also fr mein Zwecke mehr als ausreichend, fr einen Kinofilm zu niedrig.
+Preis/Leistung sehr gut, es sind Outdoorkameras, habe schon schlechtere Indoorkameras fr den Preis bekommen.
+Empfindlichkeit ist stufenlos einstellbar.
+Verstndliche App wenn man sich einmal durchgeklickt hat, kein “schlechte deutsch”.
Negative Aspekte:
-Die Verbindungsstcke fr das Ethernetkabel sind nur geeignet wenn man das Kabel selbst verlegt und Stecker anschliet, bei fertigen Eternetkabeln mit Verbindungsstcken bekommt man die Hlsen nicht drber gezogen. (Panzertape macht es aber auch Wasserdicht)
-Nachtsicht ist nicht optimal, leuchtet einen Kreis aus, geht aber nicht wirklich in die Ferne. (Ich werde selbiges bei den Bullet Kameras sobald diese bestellt sind testen)
-Tageslichtabgleich sorgt fr eine Push-Nachricht und Playback-Speicherung
-Insekten fliegen nachts gerne mal vor die Linse und sorgt fr eine Push-Nachricht und Playback-Speicherung
-Empfindlichkeit ist zwar stufenlos einstellbar, jedoch muss die Empfindlichkeit so niedrig eingestellt werden das kaum Personen im Hintergrund mehr erkannt werden, oder es wird jedes vorbeifliegendes Insekt aufgenommen. (Werde da aber noch etwas mehr herumprobieren mssen)
-PoE-Injector muss angeschafft werden, kostet mit Slots fr 4 Kameras um 30-40.
Fr einen Grenvergleich: Die angelegten Obstbume stehen 10m auseinander.
Fazit:
Bei den Kameras und der App fhle ich mich sicher, es gibt keine Software-Probleme bisher, es ist vielleicht etwas feintuning erforderlich damit man die Empfindlichkeit so eingestellt hat wie man es mchte. Der Stromverbrauch ist sehr gering, es ist leicht zu erweitern (da sollte nur der passende Injektor gewhlt werden). Installation und Stromversorgung kinderleicht, keine langwierigen IP – Einstellungen. Auflsung wunderbar.
Ich wrde diese Kameras jederzeit wieder kaufen. Bin von Reolink begeistert!
Ich hoffe ich konnte mit meiner Bewertung einigen Interessierten helfen Ihre Wahl zu treffen.
What a great camera for price. Yes plastic and doesn’t lock on to fixing bracket but merely fastened in. So easy to set up. User interface superb. So much better than hikvision ones lm replacing . Has built in sound. Mobile app pick up caneras so easily. You won’t be disappointed!!
This was recommended by at IT expert and have not disappointed. Work well and reasonably easy to set up. Images can be shared via app with all interested parties.
Purchased these for a friend, easy install on to any wall or ceiling. Power over ethernet (poe) great for ease of use and for only one cable, you need poe injector if you havent got a poe switch. Once connected the Reolink app picks up the camera via your network very quickly and easily. Excellent vision and nightvision and software very easy to use and set up of all parameters including motion detection.
Great system even for DiY installation. I would like to see availability of various lens sizes to meet field of view specific requirements. Focus in on a distant area etc without the need to purchase optical zoom cameras that cost more.
I’ve installed 16ch NVR with PoE direct to 5mp dome and bullet cameras. I also have three internal 4mp PT cameras. These are connected via WiFi which does give some additional set up options such as turning off indicator LED and infra red illumination. I can see this could be useful, but doesn’t seem to be an option on cameras connected direct to the NVR.
FEEL SO MUCH SAFER WITH THIS KIT.
Good picture quality, although digitally zooming in to see a face at 30ft shows a lot of grain. Night vision of 100ft seems a stretch, using it at up to 30ft is adequate but there is a big difference between the near and far picture quality.
The thing that is truly excellent is the set up. Just physically mount the camera, plug it in to the PoE cable, scan the bar code to download the app, and it’s working and stable. Even Sinology Surveillance Station just detects and adopts them. The only thing that needs to be adjusted is the motion sensing and alerts, which need to be set for the location. However, very much easier than I expected, and a million times better than the last security cameras I bought which took a lot of initial configuration and drop comms frequently.
Overall, recommended as very good value and a huge asset to home & business security.
Simple to set up and they work well. Setting the sensitivity is a process of trial and error obviously but it works quite well. They seem quite happy when plugged into my D-LINK DGS-1008P and my QNAP.
This POE cam is the best in the market in terms of hardware and software.
Excellent online support! Online documentation cover every aspect.
This can is compatible/works with third party software or hardware like a charm.
I bought 2 last year and another two this year. New one worked with Alexa out of the box, old needed firmware update which was available online, both of the old cams were upgraded in 5 minutes without any issues.
If you are looking for a POE can that will work with anything that you would imagine, look no further this is what you deserve.
Well done Reolink great products, I’m planning to replace my old 8 Swann cams with Reolink POE cams soon.
These were incredibly easy to set up, no power required, just PoE from the Reolink NVR that I purchased with these. Just one cable to the camera.
The picture quality is incredible, literally couldnt fault it. The night vision is also pretty good to be honest. I would say the only down side is the motion detection… It is not true motion detection but rather work on a change in pixels. This is all well and good if light stays as a constant but if clouds go over on a sunny day for example it will trigger the motion alerts.There are settings to change motion zones and the sensitivity but it is quite an art to get this working exactly how you want it to with good results. It would be a lot better with true motion detection but then they would probably cost a LOT more.
All in all these are brilliant cameras and the quality is top notch.
I’ve had a few of these cameras for a few years now and they are great. Good quality pictures, easy to install and work perfectly with the recently added NVR (I’d recommend it vs recording everything to a PC/Mac which I had ben doing for a year or so – its much easy to manage and review footage).
These cameras are superb, crystal clear 5M pictures day and night, the local recording to SD works really well but I had to reduce motion detection sensitivity to stop false triggers.
A massive improvement on the previous analogue camera system that were replaced. The cameras work fine with a Floureon NVR using ONVIF on port 8000.
I powered them using POE from a Netgear GS108PP POE switch. There is a smart intuitive user interface and configuration using a browser is very easy. The Reolink app also works very well and is able to scan the network to find recently installed cameras. Be sure to use 100% copper Cat5e cable, use a cigarette lighter to check it’s not the cheaper copper coated aluminium. No issues with long cable runs, 100m is fine and add a switch if you need another 100m. There are several YouTube videos showing how to install.
Everything you need is in the box, but I recommend using a separate waterproof box for outside connections e.g. Toolstation code: 46428 1.35
In summary, these cameras are incredible value and really well made, I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Excellent CCTV cameras that don’t need a DVR, just plug and play.
You will need POE or need to buy a separate power supply.
Micro SD card supports up to 64GB.
Easy setup via app with a quick QR scan or PC software available.
Early days yet and time will tell how good it is both in quality and reliability. Easy to install and daytime image is very clear. Night vision not as good as I would expect but still not too bad. Motion detection seems to get ‘triggered’ with the slightest movement – wind, spider web, etc, so the notifications are never ending (may be able to adjust this, but haven’t had time to investigate that as yet).
Faut dire que pour le prix et les performances annonces, ce lot de camras est trs intressant, je cherchais personnellement a remplacer mon parc de camras et mon choix s’est port sur Reolink, en grande partie pour 3 raisons :
1 la rsolution qui est dans la moyenne haute
2 la compatibilit avec un Nas (Synology pour ma part)
3 Le rapport qualit prix (on a pas 50 options dans cette gamme de prix)
il y a 8 ans j’avais mon entreprise et j’ai dj procd a l’installation de multiples systmes de scurit, et j’ai t surpris de l’volution en terme de qualit d’image. Cependant plusieurs points me drangent en particulier sur ce modle.
J’ai prix deux autres rfrences de chez reolink qui se sont couples parfaitement avec mon Nas (soit en utilisant le protocole ONVIF, ou bien redirection de port classique)
Ici sur cette rfrence, comme la annonce une autre personne dans les commentaires, sur Nas synology, ces cameras ne fonctionneront qu’en mode ONVIF, il n’est donc pas possible de rediriger simplement un port Http par ex, (le serveur est en permanence dconnect). En cherchant un peu, on arrive a faire relativement ce l’on souhaite, par exemple en mode http (cas ou la camra est reconnue) on peut choisir le bitrate, en mode ONVIF on choisira une qualit d’image allant de 1 a 5… il est galement possible de se connecter directement sur le serveur intgr de la camra afin d’affiner les rglages du flux vido.
Le problme tant que la rfrence de la camra est la rl 420-5mp et celle rfrence chez synology la rl 420 tout court, il serait bien de faire une mise a jour messieurs de chez reolink car cela nous fait perdre du temps inutilement…
Pour ma part, le fait de ne pouvoir utiliser la redirection de port classique, me drange car la fonctionnalit de synologie permettant l’affichage de l’heure et du lieu par dessus celle de la camra n’est pas disponible en mode ONVIF.
j’avais galement peur d’tre juste niveau optique (4mm), car mon portail est a 5 mtres du mur sur lequel est positionn la camra, je dois dire que ca fait le taf, niveau angle on est quand mme large.
Pour finir, les options de configurations sont assez standards, je n’ai pas vu de nette volution sur cet aspect.
L’installation ma pris 30 min, et l’on peut rgler la camra manuellement sur le pan et le tilt, bien entendu elle n’est pas motorise. Concernant la vision de nuit, ya pas de quoi casser une patte a un canard, approximativement 10 mtres en me basant sur les dimensions de mon terrain, on est loin des 30 mtres annoncs (voir photos).
en gros j’apprcie :
le prix,
le fait de pouvoir zoomer dans les images, j’ai russi a avoir quelque chose de fluide sur mon mobile
la qualit de fabrication, on est sur de l’acier avec peinture cuite donc sensible aux rayures (attention lors du montage)
Je n’apprcie pas :
pas de mise a jour pour le fonctionnement correct comme annonc sur NAS synology
la vision de nuit tres limite (10 metres)
Je rajouterai galement que la camra ne possde que 2 flux vidos, 1 ou l’on choisi la rsolution (max 1440p) et l’autre en basse def pour mobile (640*480). Mes vieilles camras qui ont 8 ans permettaient d’avoir 3 flux avec le choix de la rsolution pour chacun d’eux, cela est vraiment problmatique, car on souhaite enregistrer en haute qualit d’image full (je suis en local sur mon nas), mais j’ai t oblig de baisser cette qualit pour streamer sur mon mobile, car je ne souhaitais pas avoir du VGA! Au final cela est assez limitant pour affiner ses rglages, bien entendu on peut choisir quel flux sera streamer sur mobile, mais bon le petit prix rattrape un peu cet inconvnient, cependant ce point serait a amliorer selon moi.
En esprant vous avoir aider, un petit like fait toujours plaisir.
Im mega impressed with these cameras, the picture quality is great, even at night, installation is a breeze and the applications are really easy to use. Really happy.
Great camera, with a good picture and quite good night time picture.
Setup was easy, as long as you login to the camera directly (using the IP address only in a browser window), then changing the user/ password, checking all other settings are fine.
Then adding the camera on Synology, by searching for the camera, selecting Brand = ‘Reolink’, Camera Model = ‘RLC-420′, Port = ’80’ and username/ password setup.
Edit:
After first install, I changed my setup, hence needed to re-install the camera. On the setup of the camera, I found that some of the settings needed to be adjusted to ensure the Synology maintains ‘keep alive’ with the camera.
I followed the same setup instructions as I mentioned above, but also perform the following steps to ensure the camera continues to maintain connection (not sure what of the following has done the trick, but these are the setting I personally use):
Under Camera Settings (Video Tab)
– Change field of view to 5MP
– Resolution to 2560×1920 (highest)
– Frames to a higher number (I use 16 FPS)
– Bitrate to 4096
Hope this helps
Hadn’t heard about Reolink previously, but saw a great deal on Amazon for them. The online reviews look very good so giving this a shot after several SWANN systems that failed to meet my needs. Will update review once up and running.
Really impressed with reolinks poe cameras. compared to a different security camera i purchased here it is of quality build and superb day and night vision on my other bullet camera rlc 410 so hoping these are of similar quality software is professional looking and rich in detail. the motion detection is excellent in daytime but had to change my 410 sensitivity for nighttime as had too many false alerts and as software is same for these i will no doubt have to also do it here. reolink thankfully allow 4 determined times of day for different sensitivity settings so all good. will add to my ftp drive and all motion that is detected will be recorded securely without having to pay for external storage like so many others lately. will update this review for these rlc 420 cameras once snow subsides late
The first security cameras I’ve ever purchased. Given the quality of image, localised storage (up to 64GB*), ease of install and feature rich PC and mobile applications I honestly feel this product represents excellent value for money.
* I found this is around 1 to 2 weeks of motion capture depending on how busy the environment is and how sensitive you configure the camera to be.
The only minor niggle I’ve found (and have feedback to Reolink support (note excellent email support provided) is a standard manufacturer terminated RJ45 boot / cover does not fit inside the protective housing provided. To over come this I had to terminate my own Cat6 network cable without the plastic cover / boot that the RJ45 termination end sits inside. I hope this makes sense. Note this is only a minor issue, and I’d happily purchase the product again due to feature rich software it comes with.
Man, these are super impressive! I am thrilled by the quality of their built and image. Really easy to install and overview the images on your phone. At night, the IR LEDs turn to be a monster’s eyes, quite scary and deterrent. I do recommend these, and buying from Amazon is just peace of mind.
Produit acheter pour remplacer mes Foscam connects sur mon Synology, je suis surpris de la qualit compar des Foscam de 2 3 x leur prix.
Elles sont bien compatibles avec Surveillance Station de Synology, le micro est intgr et la qualit dans le noir est suprieur aux Foscam caractristiques quivalentes (rsolution…).
La camera l’air d’tre solide, elle est fournit avec le ncessaire pour tre fix (cheville, gabarit…)
Attention l’alimentation POE (Fournit dans les Foscam) n’y est pas dans les produits Reolink, mais perso pour une camera POE ce n’est pas ncessaire si vous avez le switch POE !
Pour conclure aprs + d’1 mois d’utilisation je suis trs satisfait et agrablement surpris.
Pour les utilisateurs synology : Attention il y a deux versions de cette camera, celle ci s’appelle RLC-420 sur Amazon alors que ce n’est pas exactement le cas, j’ai achet plus rcemment une de ces cameras, et le seul moyen de la faire fonctionner avec Video Station, c’est de la passer en onvif, car c’est une RLC-420-5MP
Pour rsumer la 4Mp c’est une RLC-420 qui est bien referencer sur Synology, la 5Mp c’est une RLC-420-5MP, donc en attendant que synology la rajoute, il faut passer par onvif sur le port 8000.
I have now installed both bullet and dome Reolink ip cameras, easy to mount and set up. Technical support very quick and helpful, would highly recommend.
I bought these tonrwplace my old dome one’s so I could tie everything in under one brand. Don’t get me wrong they provide good quality images and video but to get them to work along side blueiris is a pain and settings have to be unchecked to make these cameras work which Push up CPU usage on the server. They probably work well with their own NVR but not really well with others and I should of listened and gone amcrest instead. But generally well pleased otherwise.
Premetto che questa mia valutazione solamente parziale e NON veritiera, perch con tutta onesta, a mio parere per esprimere un giudizio il pi reale e completo dovreste attendere almeno 4/5 mesi dalla prima installazione. Solo allora potrei sentirmi di esprimere un giudizio il piu onesto e conforme alla realt del prodotto (tutto il resto, prima di questo periodo di prova FUFFA, NON REALE).
Se volete ci potremmo risentire fra 4/5 mesi., .
Buon lavoro
Absolutely stunning and has great value for money. I am using it for my home security as the main front door and back garden camera. I must say that I have been blown away by the quality and great features. i was bit short on budget so bit reluctant to buy these cameras as compare to the main brands, but i just been amazed with everything.
This device made me feel safe when I am away from my home on holidays or at work
En lisant certains commentaires j’ai faillit me rtracter mais au final elles fonctionnent super bien. Je lisais pleins de problmes avec la sensibilit et les faux positifs mais au final avec les tutos YouTube et quelques heures a prendre en main les rglages c’est parfait. La dtection marche parfaitement, les vidos sont nettes… Bref content de cet acha
Mi piaciuta che si vedeva tutto
Non mi piaciuto che si vedeva tutto
Solo necesitas un cable de red para funcionar. Fciles de programar y buena visin para el coste que tienen.
Per quel poco che le ho provate andavano bene, sia la vista giorno che la vista notte, interessante il riconoscimento di persone/auto/animali anche se non l’ho testato. Ho dovuto renderle perch non erano compatibili con il mio attuale sistema di sorveglianza.
Bene il fatto che tutte le parti esterne siano in metallo, aiuta a dissipare il (parecchio) calore che generano, ottimo anche il prezzo, fin troppo basso direi. Peccato che non sia presente la codifica h265.
Ich betreibe beide Kameras an einem Netgear PoE Switch i.V.M einem QNAP TS-431 XeU fr die Aufzeichnung. Die Bildqualitt ist am Tag wie in der Nacht tadellos. Bislang laufen beide Kameras zuverlssig im Dauerbetrieb ohne Strung oder Unterbrechung.
Bei der Bestellung ggf. direkt an die Reolink Anschlussdose D20 denken. Soll die Kamera den Kabelauslass direkt verdecken, ist das die passende Lsung (zumindest fr jemanden, der nicht “frickeln” oder mit dem Stemmeisen Platz in der Wand schaffen will).
Die Kamera lsst sich auch nach der Montage sehr gut ausrichten und positionieren.
Kameras an einen PoE Switch angeschlossen,App runterladen und dann QR Code einlesen. Das war es. Super einfach.
They are excellent and quality is very good. Will recommend them to anyone who want to install a CCTV setup.
Auspacken, anschlieen und es funzt! Hatte vorher Probleme mit NVR, gute Serviceuntersttzung. Problem konnte nicht gelst werden, dann umgehender sofortiger Austausch. Vorbildlich.
Really like these cameras. The connect easily to Blue Iris.
Picture quality (day & night) is very good.
However, there’s a problem…. Once you’ve pointed the camera in the desired direction, you can’t lock it in place. On our installation, a strong gust of wind will knock the camera out of alignment. Additionally, if the camera is within reach, it’s VERY easy to dismount it from the mount.
Having said that, I’d certainly buy more of them. It’s just a pity Reolink didn’t think to put a locking mechanism on the camera.
Facilit di montaggio e la qualit del video alta. Nulla di dire. L’unica pecca che le targhe delle macchine che passano di notte non si leggono ma visto il prezzo non si pu pretendere altro. Per il resto zero problemi
Top Kamera zum kleinen Preis. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und habe mittlerweile 4 Stck davon im Einsatz.
Ottima qualit e facilit di configurazione.
Rapporto prezzo/ Qualit Ottimo
All’altezza di camere di Marche molto blasonate.

Nachtrag: Habe die Info bekommen, dass es ber Motioneye funktionieren sollte. Muss das noch testen
—
Die Nachtsicht ist soweit ok. Fr diesen Preis auch etwas was mich berrascht hat. Was noch etwas nervig ist, ist wenn drauen viele Wolken vor der Sonne vorbeiziehen und es immer wieder hell und dunkel wird. Da bekomme ich derzeit jedesmal eine Push Benachrichtigung. Habe mich aber hierzu noch nicht eingelesen ob das Steuerbar ist. Kurze Info.. Die Kamera ist nur Hndisch ausrichtbar und nicht elektronisch. Fr mich ok, weil ich das anders nicht bentige. Fr mich auf jeden Fall ein Super Gert fr diesen Preis. Kurze Info zur Stromanspeisung. Da es 2 Gerte sind wrde ich gleich einen POE Switch vorschlagen. Ich habe den gekauft: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0763TGBTS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Dann braucht man nicht extra fr jedes Teil einen eigenen Adapte
These are the best CCTV cameras I’ve ever had I use them at home and they are also used where I work because they are so good.
Sehr schnelle und einfache Anbindung an das System Bild und Ton sehr gut fr den normalen Gebrauch genau das richtige Preis Leistung top
Franchement pour le prix je suis satisfait, fonctionne parfaitement, accessible depuis le monde entier via l’application (si vous avez un bon dbit d’upload).
J’espre juste qu’ils implmenteront une “AI” pour dclencher les enregistrements du type :
– Dtection d’humains, animaux, vhicules …
Nice and easy to use camera. I use with BlueIris, and setup was easy once connected to the network.
I found logging onto the camera and enabling the dynamic range functionality improved the image quality at night, with changing light levels.
Quality overall appears to be quite high and no issues so far. Only thing to consider is that the attached cable contained an RJ45 socket, power barrel socket and also the reset button.
I run this on an isolated network, and can also note that it functions fine as a standalone camera with no cloud requirements. Some of my other ReoLink cameras love to attempt web traffic on a regular basis.
Mi servivano per ampliare il kit base che gi avevo e quindi ho comprato anche una riserva nel caso si rompesse una a un prezzo competitivo
L’unico problema riscontrato stata la sincronizzazione dell’ora che pur eseguita tornava di un ora indietro. Reolink dovreste fare puntate la regolazione su un ntp server oppure consentirne la configurazione dalla app reolink
Pros:
1. Video bitrate up to 10Mbps — very detailed and clear view.
2. Cheap (when compared to Google Nest), and it works!
3. Good IR-empowered night vision!
4. Its android App is ad-free, light and full-functional! Good UI design.
Cons:
1. The quality of the waterproof connector is bad.
2. Video latency (both FLV and RTSP streams) for 1-2s, even in the same LAN by using H.264 baseline profile for substream.
3. No NFS/SCP/Samba uploading support.
4. OSD cannot be set transparent.
5. Lack of cloud platform support.
6. Finally, it cut the price from 79 to 72 just after I received the package!
Diese Kamera hat eine gute Bildqualitt, kann ber PoE mit Strom versorgt werden und ist einfach anzuschlieen. Nachteilig ist der Kabelbruch, der bei der Auenmontage verdeckt werden muss und an dem der Reset-Knopf zugnglich ist.
Die Kameras sind grundstzlich gut und leicht zu installieren. Ich htte mir allerdings mehr
Einstellmglichkeiten gewnscht.
Die Kameras sind leider schrecklich.
Wegen jedem Insekt bekommt man einen Hinweis. Aber kaum steht was vor der Haustre was entwendet wird, sieht man erst wie die Personen wegfahren. Die Ankunft und die Verladung des Gegenstandes wurden nicht aufgezeichnet. Ganz klar ist die Kamera so total untauglich.
War gleich begeistert!!! Bildqualitt sehr gut Tags ber, Nachts ist es auch ganz gut, der Ton wenn man von der Reolink App aus anschaut ist gut!!! Installation auch sehr einfach zu handhaben.Schaue mir fast jeden Tag ber die App an was meine Leute in Serbien Grad so treiben, deshalb habe ich die Cams auch gekauft und bin sehr sehr zufrieden…die zwei Cams habe ich dazu gekauft und zustzlich an meine noch vier Cams um das Haus meiner Eltern installiert auch von Reolink ,ging alles ohne Probleme. Kann jedem im allgemeinen Reolink nur im positiven weiter Empfehlen.
For the price when on offer, these are excellent POE cameras with a good clear image.
I do wish that continual recording over FTP was possible so that I could just send a stream to my NAS rather than having to use some kind of DVR software.
Night vision range is “ok” but nothing special. It’ll be fine for most purposes.
All seem to work well after sorting out ip conflicts.
Des camras exceptionnelles pour leurs prix, une qualits digne d’une grande marque mais le petit point ngatif c’est quand mme la dtection de mouvement qui serait un plus si elle tait intelligente en diffrenciant les toiles d’araignes, les changements de luminosits et autre fausses alertes.
J’en ai install pas loin d’une quarantaines dont 6 mon domicile et toutes en extrieur que ce soit chez moi ou chez des amis touts le monde en est trs satisfait.
La 1ere que j’ai installe chez moi ( pour essayer ) fte aujourd’hui ses 3 ans d’activits en extrieur.
Concernant le stockage sur carte SD pour l’instant je suis mont 128Gb ce qui nous perme d’avoir une visu sur une semaine d’enregistrement malgr les fausses alertes.
Je les recommande mais je pense que les 200 de diffrence avec une hickvision acusense risque de me faire passer le pas voir si cette somme en vaut la chandelle voir si Rolink me fera une offre pour essayer leur nouvelles version RLC-810A-8MP j’attends de leurs nouvelles.
These Reolink cameras are exceptional, very easy to install and their intuitive interface makes their operation incredibly simple. You can record locally onto a small memory card, or connect them up to reolink video recorder NVR for uninterrupted 24/7 recording. Easy to playback on your phone or live view so you can see whats going on from wherever you are complete with sound. One ethernet cable from a Power Over Ethernet switcher or reolinks own NVR is all you need for both power and pictures or ive seen that reolink also have solar powered wireless devices for those hard to reach areas – although they’re a bit expensive for me.
After a recent crime in our street we had a police officer knock at the door and ask if he could review our footage, when we told him our system was reolink, even he said its one of the best and has Reolink cameras himself.
Perfect security camera to integrate with Blueiris. Great image quality and resolution is more than enough for covering a large area. Viewing angle is good and camera works better than others when elevated as aspect ratio is closer to 4:3. Night vision (with IR leds) works well too.
Build quality is also very good and have no concerns when fitting these externally. Just be sure to use a waterproof housing for the eth connectio
Originally bought by mistake as I thought they were wifi cameras but due to good reviews did bot return them. Read up on POE and managed to set them up easily and they work really well. Can watch cameras on iPhone or our computer. Movement recorded to SD cards. Feel more secure.
Dead easy to configure, these are a doddle to fit given they are powered via the network over POE. App seems well designed and reliable, to me a step up from my previous cams (ieGeek, which were reliable but lower image quality).
Happy with the resolution and night vision mode, just wish the cable base thats available was a bit less expensive and a better fit for the camera (it is larger, unnecessarily so in my opinion). All in all would buy again.
Bought these to add to my 2 Foscam IP cams that are no longer stocked, Imaged quality is superb, but the night vision, which is often the Achilles heel of cameras is absolutely crystal clear.
The difference in quality between the Foscam’s (that are really good) and these is astounding.
Simple to set up on my Synology nas, but you do get an iphone / android app, and also a standalone PC app too.
With a POE switch, they are up and configured in minutes, using the free utility.
Extremely pleased with my purchase, Especially as I was unaware of the Reolink brand before seeing them.
Die Kamera(s) sind fr meine NAS Synology Surveillance – und fr den Preis definitiv und absolut das beste Produkt fr die Eigenheim berwachung.
Das Bild gestochen scharf
Beim Nachtmodus sind bis auf die fehlenden Farben durch IR das Gefhl das es Tag hell ist
Sogar die Tonaufnahme ausgezeichnet.
Fr alle die eine passende Kamera fr Surveillance App suchen: Bitte sehr – ihr werdet es nicht bereuen.
Plastic product but easy to fit and good picture quality.
Good picture quality. Easy to install. Good value for money. Does what it says on the box.
Sehr Gut,
wie Beschrieben/Versprochen TOP!!!
Das System ist sehr einfach zu installieren/montieren, einfache Bedienung.
Funktioniert Tadellos.
Mit dem RLK8 kann man 8 Kameras anschlieen.
Auf RLK8 ist eine 2 TB HDD Vorinstalliert, man kann bis zu 8TB erweitern(4 TB intern und 4TB Auen ber den
e-SATA Anschluss)
Die 8Mp Kameras sind echt toll sehr scharfes Bild.
4xB800-8MP waren im Set dabei und 2xRLC-520-5MP sind dazu gekommen jetzt sind es insgesamt 6 x Kameras
funktioniert toll, System Harmoniert einfach super ,2 Kameras kommen bestimmt noch dazu 😉
Wenn es mehr Sterne zur Auswahl gbe dann wrde ich die auch ohne zu zgern verteilen.
Support ist auch sehr schnell, kompetent,freundlich und entgegenkommend.
Groes DANKE an Reolink !!!
Reolink Forever !!!
I was never keen on POE systems in the past but after buying the kit a few months ago i was very impressed especially in the easy of install and the value for money for a quality product.
So decided to expand the system with more cams.
They arrived quickly and are well packed.
The only thing worth mentioning is that you do not get any cable with the cams apart from a short patch lead so expect to have to supply your own ethernet cable.
The best quality picture I have ever seen. Night or day-just unbelievable details.
Picture quality is excellent night vision is good you have to enable to sound when connected to NVR very impressed
J’ai install plusieurs de ces modles pour une utilisation avec Blue Iris.
Installation aise grce l’appli, interface avec le logiciel facile aussi. La qulait d’image est bonne sans etre exceptionnelle.
Mes deux seuls petit regrets:
– Base en plastique ( voir dans le temps)
– Peu de rglages sur le flux video principal au del de la simple rsolution (bitrate, codec…)
– FLux secondaire sans rglages du tou
Recently had a camera go faulty after sky fitted a new modem. Reolink didn’t hesitate in sending a new one even though it had just out of guarantee.
Unfortunately the fitter broke the casing when fitting so reolink sent me another new one.
Reolinks customer service is unbeatable and they do lead by example
Thank you reolink, you are one of the best company’s I have ever dealt with.
Quality day time great. Problem with box but was changed within a week. All up and running really happy. App is grea
+VE: easy installed and connected, I liked the fact that through one screen can see more than one camera image.
-VE: the cameras are fixed, can zoom in and out but one fixed direction. panning function would have been nice but then it would cost more. wasn’t a deal breaker.
Easy setup, literally plug & play, 4 cameras connected via a POE switch to the router, with a 3rd party offsite storage service for video & picture, but you can use Reolink’s own facility or just use an NVR.
Cameras are well made, great picture quality day & night, with easy scheduling of motion & email functions via the App.
A+++
These are very cheap and very good quality. Night vision and audio very clear. I now have five.
The picture and sound quality is excellent.I recommend these cameras
Does as expected clear images and can zoom into reg numbers
These are great value for money.
Picture quality is great, easy to install, although the twist style attachment should be lockable.
The windows software is a bit janky but all the features are there. The fact you can record to anywhere (locally) is a feature I wouldn’t do without.
Setup properly they’re also very secure and the support is good.
Couldn’t ask for anything else and for the price there are just no complaints.
As I’m recording motion detection via FTP on to my NAS, the SD card is pretty much redundant. That’s a good job because, second point, one of the cameras just started reporting that it has no SD card (which it has and has been working fine since I installed it.) Out with the ladder.
Mir war zum einen wichtig das ich nicht unntig viele Kabel verlege und zum anderen das der Stromverbrauch niedrig ist.
Ich habe auf meinem Grundstck eine PV-Anlage mit 400 AH, 12V, zur Verfgung das reicht fr den Betrieb eines LTE Routers 12w 230v, TP Link POE Injektor, Edecoa Spannungswandler und diese beiden Kameras ohne das der Stromverbrauch zu hoch ist.
Durch PoE habe ich nun pro Kamera ein Kabel fr stabiles Internet und Stromversorgung. Die Verbindung zum LTE Router erfolgt von alleine durch die Verbindung von LTE Router mit Lankabel zu dem POE Injektor.
Jetzt muss man sich nur noch die Reolink App runterladen und mit dem Wlan des LTE Routers verbinden und schon hat man die Kameras in der App gespeichert und kann individuelle Namen vergeben.
Ich habe fr eine Kamera 50m Cat6 und fr die andere Kamera 10m Cat5.e verlegt, funktioniert beides ohne Probleme. Beide besitzen jeweils eine 64 GB Speicherkarte (Gnstigste hier von Amazon, reicht auch eine Ewigkeit.)
Positives an den Kameras:
+Sehr schnelle Verbindung ber mobile Daten mit den Kameras, kein ewiges Laden !
+Qualitt einstellbar zwischen Flssig (Low) und Klar (High)
+Qualitt trotz vorheriger Aufnahme unter Low auch in High von der SD-Karte abspielbar. Beide Qualitten kann man per App runterladen.
+Datenverbrauch ber mobile Daten nur bei aktiven Streamen ! Oder Upload in die Cloud bei Bewegungen. (Ich habe 10GB LTE, das wird auch fr zwei weitere Kameras reichen. (Nach 5 Tagen Nutzung liegt der Datenverbrauch bei 143,36 MB ohne Cloud, wurde erst heute aktiviert.)
+Qualitt ist hervorragend, also fr mein Zwecke mehr als ausreichend, fr einen Kinofilm zu niedrig.
+Preis/Leistung sehr gut, es sind Outdoorkameras, habe schon schlechtere Indoorkameras fr den Preis bekommen.
+Empfindlichkeit ist stufenlos einstellbar.
+Verstndliche App wenn man sich einmal durchgeklickt hat, kein “schlechte deutsch”.
Negative Aspekte:
-Die Verbindungsstcke fr das Ethernetkabel sind nur geeignet wenn man das Kabel selbst verlegt und Stecker anschliet, bei fertigen Eternetkabeln mit Verbindungsstcken bekommt man die Hlsen nicht drber gezogen. (Panzertape macht es aber auch Wasserdicht)
-Nachtsicht ist nicht optimal, leuchtet einen Kreis aus, geht aber nicht wirklich in die Ferne. (Ich werde selbiges bei den Bullet Kameras sobald diese bestellt sind testen)
-Tageslichtabgleich sorgt fr eine Push-Nachricht und Playback-Speicherung
-Insekten fliegen nachts gerne mal vor die Linse und sorgt fr eine Push-Nachricht und Playback-Speicherung
-Empfindlichkeit ist zwar stufenlos einstellbar, jedoch muss die Empfindlichkeit so niedrig eingestellt werden das kaum Personen im Hintergrund mehr erkannt werden, oder es wird jedes vorbeifliegendes Insekt aufgenommen. (Werde da aber noch etwas mehr herumprobieren mssen)
-PoE-Injector muss angeschafft werden, kostet mit Slots fr 4 Kameras um 30-40.
Fr einen Grenvergleich: Die angelegten Obstbume stehen 10m auseinander.
Fazit:
Bei den Kameras und der App fhle ich mich sicher, es gibt keine Software-Probleme bisher, es ist vielleicht etwas feintuning erforderlich damit man die Empfindlichkeit so eingestellt hat wie man es mchte. Der Stromverbrauch ist sehr gering, es ist leicht zu erweitern (da sollte nur der passende Injektor gewhlt werden). Installation und Stromversorgung kinderleicht, keine langwierigen IP – Einstellungen. Auflsung wunderbar.
Ich wrde diese Kameras jederzeit wieder kaufen. Bin von Reolink begeistert!
Ich hoffe ich konnte mit meiner Bewertung einigen Interessierten helfen Ihre Wahl zu treffen.
Easy to install and set up with good quality video
What a great camera for price. Yes plastic and doesn’t lock on to fixing bracket but merely fastened in. So easy to set up. User interface superb. So much better than hikvision ones lm replacing . Has built in sound. Mobile app pick up caneras so easily. You won’t be disappointed!!
This was recommended by at IT expert and have not disappointed. Work well and reasonably easy to set up. Images can be shared via app with all interested parties.
Purchased these for a friend, easy install on to any wall or ceiling. Power over ethernet (poe) great for ease of use and for only one cable, you need poe injector if you havent got a poe switch. Once connected the Reolink app picks up the camera via your network very quickly and easily. Excellent vision and nightvision and software very easy to use and set up of all parameters including motion detection.
I’ve installed 16ch NVR with PoE direct to 5mp dome and bullet cameras. I also have three internal 4mp PT cameras. These are connected via WiFi which does give some additional set up options such as turning off indicator LED and infra red illumination. I can see this could be useful, but doesn’t seem to be an option on cameras connected direct to the NVR.
FEEL SO MUCH SAFER WITH THIS KIT.
The thing that is truly excellent is the set up. Just physically mount the camera, plug it in to the PoE cable, scan the bar code to download the app, and it’s working and stable. Even Sinology Surveillance Station just detects and adopts them. The only thing that needs to be adjusted is the motion sensing and alerts, which need to be set for the location. However, very much easier than I expected, and a million times better than the last security cameras I bought which took a lot of initial configuration and drop comms frequently.
Overall, recommended as very good value and a huge asset to home & business security.
Very good zoom and picture clarity. Worthwhile getting this high quality camera
Simple to set up and they work well. Setting the sensitivity is a process of trial and error obviously but it works quite well. They seem quite happy when plugged into my D-LINK DGS-1008P and my QNAP.
Excellent online support! Online documentation cover every aspect.
This can is compatible/works with third party software or hardware like a charm.
I bought 2 last year and another two this year. New one worked with Alexa out of the box, old needed firmware update which was available online, both of the old cams were upgraded in 5 minutes without any issues.
If you are looking for a POE can that will work with anything that you would imagine, look no further this is what you deserve.
Well done Reolink great products, I’m planning to replace my old 8 Swann cams with Reolink POE cams soon.
Excellent product. Easy to install and great picture quality. The Reolink after service is excellent.
I own lots of Reolink IP cams. Super cameras with good support – recommended*****
These were incredibly easy to set up, no power required, just PoE from the Reolink NVR that I purchased with these. Just one cable to the camera.
The picture quality is incredible, literally couldnt fault it. The night vision is also pretty good to be honest. I would say the only down side is the motion detection… It is not true motion detection but rather work on a change in pixels. This is all well and good if light stays as a constant but if clouds go over on a sunny day for example it will trigger the motion alerts.There are settings to change motion zones and the sensitivity but it is quite an art to get this working exactly how you want it to with good results. It would be a lot better with true motion detection but then they would probably cost a LOT more.
All in all these are brilliant cameras and the quality is top notch.
I’ve had a few of these cameras for a few years now and they are great. Good quality pictures, easy to install and work perfectly with the recently added NVR (I’d recommend it vs recording everything to a PC/Mac which I had ben doing for a year or so – its much easy to manage and review footage).
Very easy to setup, everything I needed came in the box.
The image quality is amazing, never expected a security camera to have such a clear image!
These cameras are superb, crystal clear 5M pictures day and night, the local recording to SD works really well but I had to reduce motion detection sensitivity to stop false triggers.
A massive improvement on the previous analogue camera system that were replaced. The cameras work fine with a Floureon NVR using ONVIF on port 8000.
I powered them using POE from a Netgear GS108PP POE switch. There is a smart intuitive user interface and configuration using a browser is very easy. The Reolink app also works very well and is able to scan the network to find recently installed cameras. Be sure to use 100% copper Cat5e cable, use a cigarette lighter to check it’s not the cheaper copper coated aluminium. No issues with long cable runs, 100m is fine and add a switch if you need another 100m. There are several YouTube videos showing how to install.
Everything you need is in the box, but I recommend using a separate waterproof box for outside connections e.g. Toolstation code: 46428 1.35
In summary, these cameras are incredible value and really well made, I have no hesitation in recommending them.
You will need POE or need to buy a separate power supply.
Micro SD card supports up to 64GB.
Easy setup via app with a quick QR scan or PC software available.
Security in my industrial unit and very easy to install
1 la rsolution qui est dans la moyenne haute
2 la compatibilit avec un Nas (Synology pour ma part)
3 Le rapport qualit prix (on a pas 50 options dans cette gamme de prix)
il y a 8 ans j’avais mon entreprise et j’ai dj procd a l’installation de multiples systmes de scurit, et j’ai t surpris de l’volution en terme de qualit d’image. Cependant plusieurs points me drangent en particulier sur ce modle.
J’ai prix deux autres rfrences de chez reolink qui se sont couples parfaitement avec mon Nas (soit en utilisant le protocole ONVIF, ou bien redirection de port classique)
Ici sur cette rfrence, comme la annonce une autre personne dans les commentaires, sur Nas synology, ces cameras ne fonctionneront qu’en mode ONVIF, il n’est donc pas possible de rediriger simplement un port Http par ex, (le serveur est en permanence dconnect). En cherchant un peu, on arrive a faire relativement ce l’on souhaite, par exemple en mode http (cas ou la camra est reconnue) on peut choisir le bitrate, en mode ONVIF on choisira une qualit d’image allant de 1 a 5… il est galement possible de se connecter directement sur le serveur intgr de la camra afin d’affiner les rglages du flux vido.
Le problme tant que la rfrence de la camra est la rl 420-5mp et celle rfrence chez synology la rl 420 tout court, il serait bien de faire une mise a jour messieurs de chez reolink car cela nous fait perdre du temps inutilement…
Pour ma part, le fait de ne pouvoir utiliser la redirection de port classique, me drange car la fonctionnalit de synologie permettant l’affichage de l’heure et du lieu par dessus celle de la camra n’est pas disponible en mode ONVIF.
j’avais galement peur d’tre juste niveau optique (4mm), car mon portail est a 5 mtres du mur sur lequel est positionn la camra, je dois dire que ca fait le taf, niveau angle on est quand mme large.
Pour finir, les options de configurations sont assez standards, je n’ai pas vu de nette volution sur cet aspect.
L’installation ma pris 30 min, et l’on peut rgler la camra manuellement sur le pan et le tilt, bien entendu elle n’est pas motorise. Concernant la vision de nuit, ya pas de quoi casser une patte a un canard, approximativement 10 mtres en me basant sur les dimensions de mon terrain, on est loin des 30 mtres annoncs (voir photos).
en gros j’apprcie :
le prix,
le fait de pouvoir zoomer dans les images, j’ai russi a avoir quelque chose de fluide sur mon mobile
la qualit de fabrication, on est sur de l’acier avec peinture cuite donc sensible aux rayures (attention lors du montage)
Je n’apprcie pas :
pas de mise a jour pour le fonctionnement correct comme annonc sur NAS synology
la vision de nuit tres limite (10 metres)
Je rajouterai galement que la camra ne possde que 2 flux vidos, 1 ou l’on choisi la rsolution (max 1440p) et l’autre en basse def pour mobile (640*480). Mes vieilles camras qui ont 8 ans permettaient d’avoir 3 flux avec le choix de la rsolution pour chacun d’eux, cela est vraiment problmatique, car on souhaite enregistrer en haute qualit d’image full (je suis en local sur mon nas), mais j’ai t oblig de baisser cette qualit pour streamer sur mon mobile, car je ne souhaitais pas avoir du VGA! Au final cela est assez limitant pour affiner ses rglages, bien entendu on peut choisir quel flux sera streamer sur mobile, mais bon le petit prix rattrape un peu cet inconvnient, cependant ce point serait a amliorer selon moi.
En esprant vous avoir aider, un petit like fait toujours plaisir.
Good picture night and day now have 3 units arround my house
Im mega impressed with these cameras, the picture quality is great, even at night, installation is a breeze and the applications are really easy to use. Really happy.
Twin pack of RLC-420 cameras to add to an 8 channel system. 5MP cameras produce clear images day & night.
Setup was easy, as long as you login to the camera directly (using the IP address only in a browser window), then changing the user/ password, checking all other settings are fine.
Then adding the camera on Synology, by searching for the camera, selecting Brand = ‘Reolink’, Camera Model = ‘RLC-420′, Port = ’80’ and username/ password setup.
Edit:
After first install, I changed my setup, hence needed to re-install the camera. On the setup of the camera, I found that some of the settings needed to be adjusted to ensure the Synology maintains ‘keep alive’ with the camera.
I followed the same setup instructions as I mentioned above, but also perform the following steps to ensure the camera continues to maintain connection (not sure what of the following has done the trick, but these are the setting I personally use):
Under Camera Settings (Video Tab)
– Change field of view to 5MP
– Resolution to 2560×1920 (highest)
– Frames to a higher number (I use 16 FPS)
– Bitrate to 4096
Hope this helps
Hadn’t heard about Reolink previously, but saw a great deal on Amazon for them. The online reviews look very good so giving this a shot after several SWANN systems that failed to meet my needs. Will update review once up and running.
Nice camera good quality and night vision very for what i need . Havent conected them to internet only through a POE NVR
* I found this is around 1 to 2 weeks of motion capture depending on how busy the environment is and how sensitive you configure the camera to be.
The only minor niggle I’ve found (and have feedback to Reolink support (note excellent email support provided) is a standard manufacturer terminated RJ45 boot / cover does not fit inside the protective housing provided. To over come this I had to terminate my own Cat6 network cable without the plastic cover / boot that the RJ45 termination end sits inside. I hope this makes sense. Note this is only a minor issue, and I’d happily purchase the product again due to feature rich software it comes with.
We use this for door monitoring without a DVR system. very simple setup.
Elles sont bien compatibles avec Surveillance Station de Synology, le micro est intgr et la qualit dans le noir est suprieur aux Foscam caractristiques quivalentes (rsolution…).
La camera l’air d’tre solide, elle est fournit avec le ncessaire pour tre fix (cheville, gabarit…)
Attention l’alimentation POE (Fournit dans les Foscam) n’y est pas dans les produits Reolink, mais perso pour une camera POE ce n’est pas ncessaire si vous avez le switch POE !
Pour conclure aprs + d’1 mois d’utilisation je suis trs satisfait et agrablement surpris.
Pour les utilisateurs synology : Attention il y a deux versions de cette camera, celle ci s’appelle RLC-420 sur Amazon alors que ce n’est pas exactement le cas, j’ai achet plus rcemment une de ces cameras, et le seul moyen de la faire fonctionner avec Video Station, c’est de la passer en onvif, car c’est une RLC-420-5MP
Pour rsumer la 4Mp c’est une RLC-420 qui est bien referencer sur Synology, la 5Mp c’est une RLC-420-5MP, donc en attendant que synology la rajoute, il faut passer par onvif sur le port 8000.
I have now installed both bullet and dome Reolink ip cameras, easy to mount and set up. Technical support very quick and helpful, would highly recommend.
