Reolink WiFi Security Camera indoor 4MP, Pan Tilt WiFi IP Camera for Baby, Elder, Pet Camera Monitor, 2.4G/5GHz WiFi, 2-Way Audio IR Night Vision Remote Viewing,with SD Card Slot, E1 Pro Black
Whole Room Coverage with Pan & Tilt
- Watching over a large area is now becoming easier. E1 Pro can deliver the whole picture of your home, even better, in stunning clarity and vividness. Simply use the Reolink App to realize its pan-and-tilt control.
- Keep an eye on what you care the most. When a certain target area is set as the “guard point” via Reolink App/Client/NVR, then if the camera pans & tilts to another position, it will automatically return to the target monitoring area (guard point) according to the time you set.

Good camera
Works great so fa
Just got this today, set up was a piece of cake, connected to wifi no bother, adjusted the quality settings to make sure i can read registration plates on cars driving past the house.
I have this camera set up inside the house, looking out the window. IR lights turned off for nighttime recording. Works great.
The sensitivity needs a bit of tweaking, but i’m playing about with that so I dont get an alert with every tree movement in the wind or similar.
Only gripe i have with it is the playback at high quality is very jerky.but if you download the footage to your phone via the app, it plays perfectly fine with no jerkiness. Also would be great if it had some sort of stand or thicker mount as the mount supplied is about 2mm thick and allows you to mount it toa surface flushly, but i’d like to have a mount maybe 10cm tall so i can have the camera looking out of my window without having to use a cardboard box for it to sit on.
Aside from that, its much better than the netvue one i replaced this with.
Grea
It’s great fantastic for keeping a eye on the dogs
Great produc
This camera is really good, easy to set up and very responsive when using the PTZ. We us it for keeping an eye on the dog while out and it works really well. Audio is clear and mic picks up well.
Wanted to save to card and this does
It lets you zoom in on what is quite a wide area for the detail of it, it’s excellent. You can hold the zoom as your standard shot and you can move it remotely. You can store preset positions and can record continuously or in capture mode. Decent camera.
Really clear picture through window.
I bought this to keep an eye on my car outside my house. I’d highly recommend it, it detects movement through double glazing and once you turn off the led lights it will record motion at night time with no glare through the window.
Cat cam
Great quality, price , and really easy to set up
Well worth buying
Quality camera without paying a hefty price
Overall good camera decent image, only thing was not so good was the setup to connect the camera to Wi-Fi was pain in the a but overall great camera
Home security
For the price it was perfect used it for our caravan l have had dearer cameras but none as good as this for the price
Fantastic camera.
Great camera tunes into virgin router perfectly. Very happy with it. So I was happy and bought another which was just as good. Great camera.
Good quality camera
A good solid smart cam, easy to install and use. Just install the app and your ready to go.
Schnelle Lieferung
Es luft sehr gut leicht zu installieren und zu verwende
can't go wrong with Rio products
I really can’t go wrong with Rio cameras , i now have 7 Rio camera products and they all have been fantastic , never had any issues .
Little tip : Always do a filmware software updates when you receive your new cameras . updates available from the manufacturers website .
personally I recommend this manufacture .
and no I have no connection with this manufacturer whatsoever … lol
Does exactly what they say it does v/good
Wasn’t expecting to much when I bought this to replace a lot older version. From opening the box setting it up 10/15 minutes it does everything I was told the old should have done and it really does picture good sound good especially the two way voice and movement notifications spot on overall good bit of ki
Reolink
Excellent camera bought to replace other theat didn’t have sd card slot. Same brand as my CCtv so all in one app works great. Really east to set up
La adoro
Peccato solo che manca lo zoom. Comunque funziona perfettamente con home assistant.
Sound fault otherwise good
The more you pay the better picture quality shame about the sound faul
Great produc
A great product that works brilliantly with my 3 outdoor reolink cams and app would highly recommend these cameras thanks
Value for money
Good camera with dual band WiFi connectivity. Good picture quality with pan, tilt and zoom.
Very impressed
Bought this cam to use for our dogs whelping pen, absolutely fantastic job! Camera quality is brilliant both day and night vision. Can record clips or save images. Definitely impressed and happy to have eyes on our puppies at all times
Home security camera
The Reolink camera is very easy to set up and functions perfectly. Value for the price paid.
Additional feature of recording on micro sd card gives a clear replay of the detection. There is also a function to limit the area of detection that helps to identify the zone likely to be detected. The facility of being able to pan nearly 360 degrees remotely is a plus as one camera cover the whole room.
Danke für die schnelle Lieferung
Die Kamera hat ne gute Grafik und und die Bildqualitt ist auch sehr gu
this camera works on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz
I don’t use it for motion detection. the night vision is good as is the picture quality. fairly easy to set up…my daughter did that for me, aren’t kids clever these days?
Exactly what I wanted
Having read a few poor reviews I opted for this to keep an eye on my dog. Setup out of the box is really simple and takes 5 mins with the app. Connection to WiFi was simple and the picture quality is far better than I expected. I would recommend
Gu
Bildqualitt knnte besser sein.
Leider kann man den Speicherort nicht ndern.
Bei Bewegung bekommt man sehr schnell eine Nachricht aufs Handy
A great system for the price
Very simple to set up, simple to use and with the various apps expandable into a multi camera system for the fraction of the cost of other types of monitoring. Would highly recommend.
Perfektes Teil
Einfache Montage und Installation, ca. 10min einsatzbereit. Perfektes Teil zum vernnftigen Preis.
Topp Kamera
Topp Kamera die ber dem QR link einfach einzurichten is
Ok, ma non si collega alla fibra
Ottima visuale ma non si collega in Wi-Fi alla fibra. Si collega solo via cavo.
Exactly what I was looking for - easy setup, no sub required or personal info needed, great app, etc
I had ordered a different IP cam prior and had to return it as it required me to create an account and provide various personal details and location, hence wasn’t comfortable with giving away so much info. This product put me a lot more at ease as all I had to do was install the app and do some basic setup. Features include night vision and the ability to move the cam around via the phone app. You can install an SD card and playback is very easy to navigate with markers where motion was detected. There’s a lot to like, everything seems to work.
The only thing that might be missing, or I can’t seem to find, is the option to adjust the motion detection sensitivity. The sunlight that comes into the apartment is registered as movement.
Overall, highly recommended.

immagini di ottima qualit di giorno e di notte, app semplicissima da installare e funzionamento senza problemi, ne ho anche un’altra in giardino. tutto ok
Perfetta e facile da installare
Prodotto top, funziona anche con router a 5 Ghz. Qualit immagine top sia di giorno che di notte e l’app ha tante funzioni.
Great for watching the dogs
I got this to keep an eye on my dogs, and also because it works with 5ghz WiFi (many cameras don’t).
Set up was quick and easy and done in minutes. I tried out the two way audio while at home to get the dogs used to it. Video quality can be changed but I left on the lower setting.
I check in throughout the day and can reassure the dogs if they are unsettled.
The night vision is great. Camera angle can be moved with the app controller, along with speaker volume. Snapshots and video can be taken too.
I’m very impressed and pleased so far…wish I’d got one sooner.
Great Camera, works with BlueIris but with some short falls
I have now 3 different cameras from Reolink and for my home security, they work well with Blueiris software but are let down by their own inbuilt software abilities. Needing an indoor camera I decided to give the E1 Pro a go as I thought it would be handy to have Pan and Tilt.
The built quality is good. It was easy to install into the Reolink app and Obtain the relevant IP address and port numbers. It was also reasonably easy to add to the 3rd party software BlueIris but had to try a number of settings. You can run two streams main and sub which was handy.
This camera cannot be mounted on a vertical wall but must be mounted either on its stand or on the ceiling. A vertical mount to purchase would have been nice. The tilt movement is way too limited for the down position. The result of this means you must instead tilt the base but this introduces a lateral pitch angle to the shot when you turn the camera left or right. The best solution would be to mount this camera upside down under a mid-height shelf.
The motion detection works fine but I leave Blueiris to do this work. For indoor cameras, this works fine.
The lan port will ensure that you get the full data in your network but to be honest the 5ghz did fine with highest settings.
The image quality was sharp and crisp and had good colour, but the hue does shift randomly. The audio quality for the speakers was clear but not that loud. The inbuilt mic is poor, I have a much better mic in my cheap V380 Mini camera than this. The motor is very quiet so is very discrete. It would have been nice to have had invisible IR to make it fully stealthy.
Overall its very cheap, it does the job and would be good for baby monitoring or indoor security with 3rd party software.

Really good
It seems really good. I had a cheaper camera that constantly dropped signal and when I needed to view previous footage it failed me. I bought this Reolink and it is excellent. The footage is stored and easily accessible. Can’t find anything wrong so thumbs up from me. The photos are from the camera behind a window so ignore the reflection. Very clear even at night.
Ottimo acquisto
Sono veramente belle esteticamente, e facili da instalare.
Manca per cavo per colegarle al rutther della linea internet.
Facilità di utilizzo, la migliore fino adesso acquistata.
Non ho trivato difetti, la utilizzo per controllare il cane quando non ci sono. Sono pienamente soddisfatto.
Qualità video fantastica
Ottima telecamera, l’ho comprata per controllare i cani e la qualit fantastica.
Anche l’audio perfetto.
Super consigliata!!!
Facile à installer et très bonne interface
Un jeu d enfant installer et suivre depuis son tlphone vraiment rassurant je recommande !

La migliore
Tra quelle viste e provate senza dubbio la migliore per rapporto qualit prezzo
Ottima
Qualit prezzo ottimo. Si vede bene, facile da installare e l’app per il controllo da remoto, funziona bene.
Easy quick set up
I have 2.4 and5g broadband ,my previous camera was 2.4 only and kept dropping off, needing resetting and generally being difficult, this one worked almost out of the box and connection was instant, so far still working with no issues even if unplugged it works without needing passwords when reconnected, well recommended.
Revised review
Bought another and it wouldn’t connect to wi fi, tried the support pages but still no good so arranged a return and ordered a replacement.
This also failed to connect, very frustrating as the first one had connection straight out of the box so I tried a way not mentioned in the support faqs and that was to temporarily connect with an Ethernet cable, hey presto a connection, added the wi fi password, disconnected the Ethernet cable and positioned the camera and all worked perfectly.
I have no idea why these last two cameras should need this method of connecting but it works and Reolink should include this connection method when the camera fails to initially connect to wi fi by scanning the qr code

works ok
Have been asked for a review about this item not had it long enough to give a proper review
Great little device
Was great to start off with. Linked up well with my 5G virgin media WiFi. Got a bit worried when it couldn’t detect my micro sd card but was fine after I switched off th mains and restarted. Works well.
Excellent camera
Easy to set up high quality camera and motion detection easy app use.
Really good - set up with Synology NAS surveillance statio
Tried many different cameras over the years and it came time to replace a very old one. Picture quality very good works almost all feature work with surveillance station on Synology. I have this isolated on a separate VLAN with no internet access ( I’m paranoid!) and still works. Synology picks up the motion detection from the camera which was nice (saves a lot of CPU). The only feature I have to use the native app for is the 2 way audio. I think next time I will go for the newer model with optical zoom but for the price this is a amazing camera.
Semplicemente perfetta!!!
Ottima risoluzione e massima facilit di installazione e utilizzo!!! Da comprare!
Safe cam
Great camera with amazing picture easy to use & set up it now protects my mother when the Carer’s are there
Good value
Bought the camera due to the double band width to connect to the WiFi. The camera still wouldn’t connect, had to fool it with an ethernet cable first to initialise before it would work with the WiFi.
Once up and running it works well enough. Does pick up changes in light as motion sometimes and memory card helps to record as by the time notification arrives and I start app my cats have moved out of shot.
Reasonable
Reolink NVR still won’t accept it. So making do with sd card
Good camera
Very happy with this camera and better than one I had before
Sharp quality and fast because of 5Ghz
I specifically sought out a WiFi camera that uses the 5Ghz WiFi band, since the camera is in the room next to my router it has a good 5Ghz connection – this means, unlike other WiFi cameras I’ve used in the past, it has a fast stream to my smartphone which is also on 5Ghz, so you can up the quality to the maximum 4MP setting to get nice clear view of what it’s seeing.
The Reolink app is decent – has a good UI, which usually isn’t the case with the multitude of Chinese companies selling these things.
I can’t vouch for its security but I’m not overly concerned about this for how I use the camera. But I have to be honest – if I was actually concerned about it, then I’d go for one of the ‘established’ players in this market like Nest or Ring. The blowback on them from a security breach is big enough that I expect Amazon (Ring) or Google (Nest) will make sure they’ve invested in keeping their network / apps secure.
Some downsides to this camera are:
1. The speed of pan and tilt I find to be quite delayed from entering the command on my phone to it actually moving. If you don’t need to do ‘intricate’ movements then it’s fine. The lens is wide-angle enough to not need moving it around much.
2. Night vision is OK but, unlike more expensive cameras, you can see the ring of red infrared lights at night which – to a child – could look a bit ominous.
I got this for 40 due to a (random) 10 discount that Amazon offered – but even at 50, it is good value simply to get 5Ghz. It does give it a more reliable connection, and lets you stream at a higher resolution. I may end up a couple more to have dotted around on some window sills etc.

Works well
I have this set up in my kitchen window to cover a wall outside where some nice people like to put racist graffiti. I have it on 24/7 and it works well, the quality of playback is good and I recommend it.
Top
Camera qui fait son job de jour comme de nuit. La visibilit est bonne et assez fluide, je recommande.
Utilisation facile
Camra super ! , en revanche je voudrais teindre la camra sans la dbrancher, mais je ne trouve pas cette manip ?
Ottimo acquisto
Facile da utilizzare, molto efficace ed efficiente. Nulla di anomalo da segnalare. Tutto conforme ad descrizione.
Great vision, sound and movement notifications
Using these in my store room. I haven’t had any glitches with the WiFi connection. I get sound. And the PTZ is cool. Get motion notifications. Requires micro SD card to record and store recordings
Downside: can’t fix to the ceiling and look straight down (Birdseye)
Does what I bought it fo
Bought for looking after the dog while I was out, does the job, nice and clear pictures on my phone, ability to talk to dog and reposition the angle of the camera very useful, cons, bit fidlly to set up but works with 5ghz router seamlessly
Fantastic little camera
Absolutely fantastic camera, really pleased, this is the third camera I bought due to failed connections with other brands but this one connected immediately. Fantastic
Good vision, excellent value
This has been a brilliant purchase for a reasonable price. We use it to watch our outdoor rabbits at night and when away from home and it’s been grea
I have 2 outdoor reolinks with solar power which never seem to fall less than 80%.
I have various indoor reolinks, mostly the 4mp version but one of two 3mp.
The features on all are amazing and when you think a feature is missing it normally appears after an update such as zoom in on playback which happened out of the blue.
Outdoor cams are amazing and totally self sufficient.
Over the years I have tried various other makes such as yl, foscam and elite, each having their own pluses but reolink really does include them all in one package.
Reolink have a great feature in that it can email the captured movement saving a fortune over many of its competitors where a fee of 3 or 4 per month per unit is demanded.
After sales are superb. One of my outdoor cameras battery went down and after a few emails a brand new one was despatched which has worked supremely well.
I have no affiliation with reolink but after many years of trying to find an ipcam that covers all the bases these products have ended the search.

eolink
works fine on the iphone and ipad, to get it on the laptop, the file is winzipped, so won’t bother putting it on the laptop
Excellent Value for Money
Very good little camera with good clear picture both day and night. Simple to install and operate. Mobile App is easy to use and view recordings (SD Card required for camera, not supplied)
Reolink Support excellent response and helped a technophobe set the camera up with ease
I had difficulty setting the camera up at first as it made a sonar noise all the time which I wasn’t expecting. I contacted the Reolink support help desk who came back to me very quickly with a video for me to follow, which I found really helpful as I learnt that you could carryon with the set up even whilst the camera continued to make a noise. Once set up the camera is easy to use and connects with my WiFi with no problems, colour and picture quality are very good. Having set this one up I have now ordered another as they are so good. Would definitely recommend and support was excellent.

For me better than a Yi
Brought to replace a YI camera that didn’t pick up people. On Amazon questions the community said the Geolinks did. So went for it. I have to say the set up, ease of sd card were much easier on the YI. But perseve with the Geolink and for me it was worth it. My suggestion to developers at Geolink is make the sd card easier to install and be able to delete individual days from the software
Heres the good points that I liked …
Can use 5GHz WiFi and with 4M resolution give very smooth high definition picture.
Will record to 128G SD card, and can download files direct from camera without removing card
Can set selectable Pan positions.
You can playback at various speeds (slower or faster that x1)
You can zoom in on live view and playback.
You can turn the IR leds off … so camera looking through glass is not a problem.
As well as IOS and Android apps, you can use the Reolink Client software on a PC which works very well !
Has all the usual motion detection, notification and recording schedule stuff.
Things I didn’t like ….
Using the 128GB card you would only expect maybe 8 days continuous storage. Of course these are high quality videos, but even though, I have an iegeek camera which will continuously record for about 4 weeks on a 32GB card !

Good camera put will not lock onto the internet very well
have a decent memory card
used to check on my cat’s behaviour when we are out or asleep as she has become vert nervous.
Rewinding videos helpful in analysing her behaviou
Easy set up
Very easy to set up. Plug in, enter email password and it’s done. Pictures are sent to email when motion is detected. Very impressed with this camera.
Easy to connect and good picture quality. However, I had a lot of problems using the Android app on my phone. For example, I couldn’t capture live video or take photo snapshots. Also, although the camera was successfully recording motion-detected video onto its microSD card, the app wouldn’t let me download any of the video clips. I updated the camera firmware to v3.0.0.116_20110204 using the Windows client. Then I contacted support who sent me the newest version of the Android app by email. Thankfully this did fix all the major problems I was having but the process took several hours in total which wasn’t ideal.
I’m happy with the camera now but there are some improvements that could be made. When the camera auto-switches between day mode (colour) and night mode (black and white), it triggers a motion detection alarm which is stupid and very annoying. Similarly, it triggers an alarm when the infrared lights are switched on or off. Please fix both of these by e.g. adding a 10 second time period after a mode switch during which motion detection is automatically disabled. Also, emailed video clips usually miss the first few seconds of motion detection despite the camera successfully recording all motion (including a few seconds prior) onto the microSD card. If this could be fixed too, that’d be great.
Easy to connect and good picture quality. However, I had a lot of problems using the Android app on my phone. For example, I couldn’t capture live video or take photo snapshots. Also, although the camera was successfully recording motion-detected video onto its microSD card, the app wouldn’t let me download any of the video clips. I updated the camera firmware to v3.0.0.116_20110204 using the Windows client. Then I contacted support who sent me the newest version of the Android app by email. Thankfully this did fix all the major problems I was having but the process took several hours in total which wasn’t ideal.
I’m happy with the camera now but there are some improvements that could be made. When the camera auto-switches between day mode (colour) and night mode (black and white), it triggers a motion detection alarm which is stupid and very annoying. Similarly, it triggers an alarm when the infrared lights are switched on or off. Please fix both of these by e.g. adding a 10 second time period after a mode switch during which motion detection is automatically disabled. Also, emailed video clips usually miss the first few seconds of motion detection despite the camera successfully recording all motion (including a few seconds prior) onto the microSD card.

A nearly perfect product...
Bought to replace the Samsung cams that I had that have worked, for the most part, perfectly fine. The setup of these Reolinks was actually simple enough but can get confusing if you don’t follow the directions. I also like the idea on clients on Android, Iphone, Mac and Windows – and that itself is worth extra points.
Also – dual band WiFi. More brownie points for that. My network has a LOT of devices connected to it (30+) and therefore being able to use 2.4 or 5 ghz wifi bands makes life easier.
However, only one flaw. The default angle of view is narrower than the Samsungs (those have no Pan/Tilt/Zoom) and frankly I think that’s a better way to do things. Even though the PTZ feature on these Reolinks is very good and it does work, how do you know if something is happening that should be recorded or seen if it is not currently in view ? The Samsungs have a 130 degree view – so very wide (but no pan/tilt). The software for the Samsungs is also limited; very, very limited.
In my view, I’d give up the Pan/Tilt for a wider angle of view so that the cams can be placed, the views recorded without having to worry about what may be happening outside the current field of view (which I think is about 87 degrees).
Another observation: the cams don’t work so well behind glass (i.e. behind a window) – see the included pic. I suspect this is because the lens is further back from the window (in comparison to the Samsungs).
Still playing around – but so far, I’m impressed. And they weren’t hugely expensive (and these are 4MP cams, not just 1080p).

Worth the price
Was very easy to set up and the picture quality is excelle
This is a great little camera, during the day you get a pin-sharp image (read a license plate from 20m away through the window) although at night it’s not quite as good, unfortunately. It’s been running 24×7 now for 3 weeks without any problems whatsoever. Easy setup, app is good, video playback is good, and the camera takes a 128GB SD card. Much better picture quality than either 3MP or full HD cameras; do a bit of research and spend around 10 more, and it will make a world of difference. A previous camera (HV 202a) was advertised as 3MP but picture quality was poor compared to this Reolink one, as well as having a buggy app and other problems. Well recommended!

Great camera and App
Great camera. Easy to install with dual band Wi-fi. App works great. Had a YI dome before and sent it back. This was a little more but well worth the extra money.
Very good little camera
Really like this little guy . The camera is small so you can tuck it away and the motion detection is top notch . Small but mighty i definitely recommend this product.
Great little security camera
Easy to set up & delivers good images & video. Excellent quality & value for money. The condition of product & delivery time were very good.
It was time to upgrade from some cheap D-Link IP cameras that were running well below HD and that I had had for years. I read some good reviews on these and found them in the compatible list for Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS so thought I’d go for it. Bought one to start, just to see what I was getting but bought a second a couple of days later; very happy with these cameras.
Pros:
Compact body — 8cm x 8cm x10.5cm
No external antenna sticking out [and it doesn’t appear to affect wi-fi connection range].
Very clear image at lower settings, fantastic at 4MP.
Works with Synology NAS/Surveillance Station [I’m running v8.2].
Easy set up.
Doesn’t get too warm.
Very quiet when operating PTZ
Ability to turn off Infrared LED so can be used through glass at night; works really well if you have street lighting.
Ability to turn off front, blue power LED.
Long power cable — 3 metres.
SD card slot [takes up to 64GB]
Discrete mount supplied [with screws and plugs] for wall or ceiling/under cupboard mounting.
App. is full of features and settings, well laid out, easy to follow.
Date, time and camera name displayed.
Motion detection is very good, either with the camera’s own settings or set via Surveillance Station.
Cons:
No ethernet connection – would have been nice but not essential as app. does all you need set up wise.
No direct web interface – had this on my D-Link cameras but again, not essential as app. is fully featured and everything can be set and controlled through it.
All in all, I’m really impressed and pleased with these cameras and can see myself adding more. They are streets ahead of my previous cameras and with the ability to turn off the infra-red LEDs I can now give up on the idea and hassle of mounting an outdoor camera, just going to use one of these sat inside the window instead.
In regards to using with Surveillance Station on the Synology NAS.
Despite being in the compatible list, when searched for during the process of adding a camera, they don’t show up in the Synology Compatible list but they do show up in the ONVIF list [see photo] and from there, can be added and named appropriately. Also worth noting, I needed to reboot my cameras after their initial set up [through the Reolink app] before they showed up in Surveillance Station.

Really impressed
Had this for 2 months now, as I needed a camera to keep an eye on the puppy during the day when I’m at work. Was pretty easy to set up using the app on android and you can connect to it when out the house as long as you are connected to WiFi or using mobile data. Also the puppy has knocked the camera off the table on to a hard floor at least twice when I’ve been with him and I’ve just plugged it back in and it’s carried on working.
Get a memory card and it saves video on a loop.
Great WiFi camera
This is a great product. I have a number of Reolink cameras as they are user friendly and provide gods picture and video streams. Software is okay and fit for purpose but has room for improvement especially in respect of setting up motion detection etc.
Great value camera
I purchased this camera when my old ones would no longer work when I changed to a dual band router, the camera was very quick and easy to set up I wish I’d known about it sooner as I wouldn’t have bought the other cameras that I did! The picture quality is fantastic & you can switch from auto made to colour or black & white for night use. I use this to cover my back garden so the ability to turn off the auto day / night feature is important for me. Very impressed with this camera, so much so I’ll be purchasing a second camera for the front.
Working perfectly for me nice clear picture and a sensitive microphone. Easy to use use app. Working nice trough 3G /4G no problem at all. Very reliable camera. I was trying different brands but they not that good like Reolink. I recommend.
Great cameras
Best WiFi cameras I’ve used. I use them for monitoring the house and dogs when I’m not home. Great vision and clear sound.
After tried the TAPO camera (TpLink) – Definitely cheaper than Reolink – I chose to move onto this brand due to the Ecosystem offered and variety of camera indoor and outdoor the others can’t offer. I can confirm that is a serious brand with complete management of the camera and parameters. The quality of the image (with the option to switch the quality), the resolution (very good) and the luminosity and sharp night image makes this product an optimal choose comparing quality and price.
Good quality plastics
Simple interface and good quality plastics is more than what you can hope for in the price range. Having used the brand before went for this one instead of no-name cheap knockoffs that seem to pull big resolution numbers but have shady apps and overall just poor quality. This is exactly what you pay for.
Brilliant little camera very happy
Easy set up, great picture, motion detection is very good when set low. Be careful to order the correct size memory card unlike me who ordered one which was too big – doh! Very happy with the reassurance it gives me when away from my house and can check whole room as good remote pan and tilt facility too
I bought 2 of these cameras. I had a Yi branded camera before so some of my thoughts are a comparison between the 2 brands.
Setup is relatively straight forward, use the app so scan the barcode on the camera then share WiFi details. For both cameras, it took a few attempts to connect to the WiFi network during initial setup but it’s been fine since (2 weeks in).
For the app, I’ll compare with the Yi app. Its a bit more cluttered and not quite as easy to navigate. For Yi, you have an account which you can share on more than one phone and any settings changed take effect on all phones. For Reolink, there’s no account. To share cameras there’s an option within the app to get a QR code on screen for the other phone to scan (to save having to physically go to each camera again). If one person updates a setting it doesn’t reflect across all devices. It some ways this may be good (ie, one person can have notifications on and another person have them turned off). For me personally it’s impractical as my wife and I leave the house together so both of us have to turn them on/off every time whereas for Yi only one of us needed to do it and we’d both get notifications through
For Yi, you can turn the camera off within the app so the motion recording and live view both turn off. For reolink, you can’t turn the camera off. You can stop it recording and/or turn off notifications with different options but unless you turn off the power it will remain turned on and live view is always enabled.
So far the motion detection in reolink has more sensitivity options and appears to be more reliable than Yi (although both can suffer excessive notifications due to sunlight / slight changes to shadows). Yi has the ability to be triggered by loud noises (advertised as baby crying detection but works equally well with intruder and smoke alarms) but reolink doesn’t have this option which I miss.
Overall, on balance I think the Reolink cameras just edge the Yi camera but be mindful of what features you want. My old Yi camera started to suffer more frequent false alarm motion detection notifications after an update otherwise I’d have probably stuck with that brand.
