Per ora sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto… vedremo poi nel tempo se manterr le mie aspettative.
L’istallazione stata molto semplice, mi bastato collegare il cavo ETERNET alla telecamera e al DVR, poi ho collegato tutto a internet tramite il cavo di rete.
La qualit dell’immagine mi ha soddisfatto; lo consiglio!
Il set comprende tutto ci che necessario per l’installazione ed il corretto funzionamento del sistema.
Grazie al PoE i collegamenti sono molto semplici e veloci (letteralmente c’ solamente 1 cavo dall’nvr ad ogni videocamera e 1 cavo di alimentazione + 1 cavo di rete per l’nvr), si perde invece un p pi di tempo per la configurazione dell’invio automatico dell’email ma niente di preoccupante.
Per adesso funziona tutto alla perfezione, da 2 settimane sto provando la registrazione h24 – 7/7 con tutte e 4 le telecamere e ho utilizzato circa 600 Gb.
Inoltre sia l’applicazione che l’accesso remoto funzionano perfettamente (ho una rete di circa 30 Mbps e l’accesso abbastanza rapido). Ottimo set, consigliatissimo!!
Has been doing its job from day one, no issues it’s on 24/7 with 3 cameras connected.
Good price/quality ratio, good recording quality and disk performance.
ottimo prodotto, kit completo di tutti gli accessori, facile da installare, autoconfigurante, successivamente ho acquistato un’altra telecamera bastato collegarla (con 50m di cavo di rete) ed ho subito visto il video sul tv, le riprese si possono vedere dal monitor collegato al NVR oppure scaricando l’app su pc o cellulari ed inserire la password
Da im Kleingartenverein in unserer Nachbarschaft vor 2 bis 3 Jahren eingebrochen wurde, hatte ich unser Haus mit WLAN basierten Kameras ausgerstet. Die Funkverbindung der einen Kamera lie sehr zu wnschen brig. Jetzt sollte eine bessere Lsung her.
Dank obigem Produkt gibt es nun Kameras fr den Vorgarten, drinnen im Hausflur, eine dritte behlt den Kellereingang im Auge und eine vierte den Garten hinterm Haus.
Die Inbetriebnahme zweier Kameras gelang problemlos. Die fr den Vorgarten bereitete Probleme und lie sich nicht anmelden. Versuchte also sie manuell anzumelden. dabei wird nach der IP Adresse und der UID gefragt. Letztere solle laut Anleitung neben dem QR-Code-Aufkleber auf der Kamera stehen. Meine besitzen aber nur einen CE-Aufkleber. Kontakt mit der Servicehotline. Aussage dort, die Kameras mssten sich selbstttig im NVR-Recorder anmelden. Leitungen geprft. Diese waren i.O. Keine Besserung in Sicht. Letztlich wechselte ich das Kabel aus, welches allen 4 Kameras beiliegt. Und siehe da, jetzt ist alles i.O. Offenbar hat einer der Stecker einen Wackelkontakt.
Das neue System bietet eine weitaus besser Bildauflsung. Auch der Nachtsichtmodus ist deutlich heller und kontrastreicher. Da man ins Bild hineinsoomen kann, ist nun sogar bei fortgeschrittener Dmmerung das Typenschlid unserer SAT-Antenne gut lesbar. Htte den Systemwechsel einfach eher durchfhren sollen, es htte mir mancheWLAN -Optimierungsstunde eingespart. Hinterher ist man oftmals klger.
Ho difficolt con la rilevazione del movimento, sono molto sensibili e all’esterno basta poco per avere continuamente allarmi inutili.
Se stacchi una telecamera e la riconnetti in una presa diversa il vdr ha difficolt a riconoscerla.
I used this security camera system for our property. It’s very easy to set up, basically plug and play.
The picture quality is very good and you can zoom in with all the cameras supplied.
Well worth the money.
Wir haben diese Set bestehend aus dem POE-NVR, 4 Kameras und den zugehrigen Kabeln und Montagematerialien fr unser Haus erworben, da wir beruflich relativ hufig nicht zuhause sind und wir uns zumindest etwas sicherer fhlen wollen.
Die Einrichtung erfolgt relativ einfach und wird gut erklrt. Die Montage der Kabel und Kameras geht leicht von der Hand.
Die Bildqualitt ist tags und nachts perfekt.
Das ist nun das zweite Reolink Kameraset an unterschiedlichen Standorten.
Qualitativ hervorragend, einfache und vielseitige Montage und Installationsmglichkeiten.
An einem Set habe ich die Kameras direkt am NVR angeschlossen. Am anderen Set habe ich die Kameras ber einen PoE Switch im Netzwerk laufen.
Das erste System luft seit mehr als zwei Jahren ohne eingreifen zu mssen. An einer Kamera war der IR-Sensor nach exat zwei Jahren defekt – die Kamera wrde innerhalb krzester Zeit auf Kulanz getauscht.
Der Support reagierte prompt und der Austausch war binnen zwei Tagen abgewickelt.
Hervorragend.
Nachtsichtfunktion und Einstellmglichkeiten sind super.
Mehrere Systeme in der App und der PC Software Integrierbar, sodass man jederzeit alles im Blick hat.
Ich empfehle die Kameras jedem, der auf der Suche nach einer vernnftigen Lsung ist.
Ho messo 4 stelle solo perch non non si pu parlare
Ho aspettato cerca un mese per recensire questo kit, ed ora posso dire che stato un acquisto che mi ha soddisfatto a dovere, qualit dei materiali ed assemblaggio ottimi, facilit di configurazione tale che anche un bambino riesce a farla, qualit video ed audio da livello superiore, assistenza tecnica veloce precisa. Che dire di pi? Che lo ricomprerei subito e lo consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro vogliano installare un kit a buon prezzo ma con la qualit superiore che solo reolink sa dare.
This system has been really easy to install, the motion detection is very sensitive so records more than it needs to which would be my only negative about the system. Good picture quality, easy to use and add to as required. Very happy with our purchase
Not only is the quality insane and the set up easy, the customer support is always available & even after just 2 mins I got a reply from Charlene back.
Im very satisfied with this product! Wish they had also alarmsystems and such products.
For a plug and play system, you can’t get any easier. Had my electrician terminate the rj45 connections and I did the rest. Simply connect everything up, power it up, install the app and you’re set to go.
Super matriel avec une tres bonne qualit d’image et un son exceptionnel, attention ces camras non pas de zoom vario focal, c’est du fixe, il y aura juste un Zoom numrique mais qui dtriore la qualit d’image, sinon je recommande vivement ce prix
Installazione eseguita, ovviamente il lavoro pi difficile portare i cavi dove servono, il collegamento dell’impianto semplice, meno semplice tararlo e farlo funzionare alle proprie necessit senza la mostruosa quantit di messaggi di allarme. Le istruzioni in italiano sicuramente auiterebbero, non ci sono. Sono gi 15 giorni che in funzione sono ancora dietro a tarare e non sono ancora riuscito ad ottimizzarlo alle mia esigenze. Mi auguro bene nella qualit e durata nel tempo.
EASY TO INSTALL AND USE . THE REOLINK APP IS EASY TO USE ENABLING TO CHECK THE PROPERTY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE BOUGHT TWO ADDITIONAL DOME CAMERAS SINCE TO ADD TO THE SYSTEM.
This was relatively easy for my son to instal and has proved useful on quite a few occasions. Love seeing my nocturnal wild life visitors as well.
Je suis professionnel, j’ai quip plusieurs de mes clients de la gamme rolink, c’est du trs bon matriel, que ce soit les cam ou le nvr, installation facile sans aucune difficult, le poe permet d’alimenter les camras, la reconnaissance est instantane.
J’ai eu une petite msaventure avec ce pack, vite rgle avec le service technique, qui m’a envoy une mise jour. (merci cherry)
Je reproche au service client d’tre joignable que par mail, il faut absolument mettre en place une hotline en France, car le march se dveloppe trs vite.
Je suis disponible le faire, j’ai dj ma propre hotline.
Produits trs fiable je recommande
Installazione molto semplice se non fosse per il fatto che non si pu impostare la lingua in italiano per per chi mastica inglese non ci sono problemi. Di notte le targhe che passano purtroppo non riesco a leggerle perch illuminate dalle luci retrotarga. Prover a comprare il 4k. Di giorno si vede molto nitido HD favoloso ma la notte non come il giorno.
J’ai profit d’une vente flash et je ne regrette pas mon achat. L’installation est simple. La qualit est largement suffisante et la vision de nuit est bonne.
Ensemble facile monter, tout est compris dans le pack.
A la mise en route de l enregistreur ce dernier a dtect toutes les camras.
Configuration depuis le pc est enfantin
Seul bmol, la vision nocturne manque un peu de dfinition.
Ho acquistato questo kit per sorvegliare l’esterno di casa mia. Sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto perch ad un prezzo ragionevole ho un ottimo sistema NVR con 4 telecamere HD. Ho collegato le telecamere al NVR che ha la funzione POE e pu gestirne fino a 8. Ho connesso l’NVR alla TV mediante cavo HDMI e alla rete locale via IP. Posso quindi vedere le camere sia sulla TV, sia sui PC di casa (via web o usando il client) che su smartphone (mediante app proprietaria). Ho inoltre integrato l’NVR con il sistema di domotica basato su HomeAssistant mediante protocollo RTSP (ho dovuto lavorarci un po’ ma poi ho capito che i problemi di latenza non erano dovuti al NVR ma allo switch di rete di prestazioni inadeguate, sostituito lo switch tutto funziona alla grande).
Insomma un bel kit che consiglio.
Creo que es un buen producto, por ahora un par de semanas funcionando y sin problemas.
Tuve algn fallo al principio por compartir el cable de ethernet con cables de electricidad, pero una vez separados ha mejorado bastante.
Mejorara la estabilidad de la app que a veces falla y le cuesta conectar y poco ms.
Producto recomendable.
Good product motion detection works well only issue when it rains motion detection goes crazy maybe some smart integration for it to understand rain is needed.
Ottimo sistema di video sorveglianza.
Pro: semplice da usare.
si vede molto bene sia di giorno che di notte . Di notte la visibilit intorno ai 20 metri .
Facile l’installazione delle telecamera. Le colleghi tramite il cavo di rete il gioco fatto.
Le uniche configurazioni da fare sono i settaggi del dvr e telecamera che si possono fare anche tramite l’APP interamente in italiano .
Possibilit tramite app di visionare le telecamere anche fuori da casa .
Contro: menu del dvr in inglese
Qualits des camras au top, enregistrement super, tout est fourni.
Facile installer et utiliser.
Un prodotto veramente di qualit ad un prezzo giusto. Lo consiglio vivamente…
Con una spesa molto ragionevole (360 euro) ho preso il kit con 4 tlc (2 bullet e 2 dome) da 5Mpx, molto semplice da configurare e avendo gi le predisposizioni in casa con cavi Ethernet stato veloce da installare.
Dopo pochi giorni ho inserito anche una quinta tlc e il sistema rileva anche altre tlc di terze parti (anche se non le gestisce come le sue). Comunque il rapporto qualit prezzo eccellente.
Difetti: l’interfaccia web basata su Flash, se non la aggiornano sar difficile da utilizzare. Comunque usato con un video diretto e da App perfettamente fruibile, per cui non totalmente penalizzante.
Un prodotto con un’ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo a distanza di mesi dall’installazione nessun problema degno di nota…. Unica limitazione l’utilizzo di telecamere della stessa marca.
Un modle la limite du pro (j’ai gr de l’installation de vidosurveillance pour mon entreprise) pour un tarif de fou. Seul regret, les camras Reolink sont un peu cher et les compatibles que j’ai en ONVIF sont vues mais pas pilot par le NVR, hlas.
Dfaut aussi des cam Rolink, les led infrarouge sont carrment rouges. Dissuasif ventuellement, mais pas discret car reprable des dizaines de mtres… J’aurais prfr de l’invisible ou presque (comme sur mes autres camras meilleur march avec une vision infrarouge tout aussi bonne).
Systme et apps + client PC ok. Des problmes pour lancer le client Win sur un de mes PC (a plante direct et sort de l’appli) mais je ne sais si c’est d au PC et sa config donc je ne peux me prononcer.
Problme de son aussi sur les cam non dme.
Ah oui aussi : je me suis fait “avoir” car les camras dme ne sont pas motorises, comme je m’y attendais. A ce prix, elles pourraient l’tre. En tout cas, je trouve que cela mriterait d’tre clairement prcis dans la description car pour moi (je sais que c’est une mauvaise interprtation de ma part cependant), camra dme voulait dire galement : motoris.
Dans l’ensemble : je recommande.
Tutto molto buono, non e la prima volta che faccio questo tipo di acquisto, lo consiglierei tranquillamente
Ich habe mir lange berlegt, welche Kameras ich nehmen soll und mich schlielich fr das Reolink-NVR-System entschieden. Einfache Installation, die Kameras bentigen keine zustzliche Stromversorgung. Die Kameras haben ein tolles Bild und auch die Nachtsicht ist top. App-Installation bereitet ebenfalls keine Probleme. Auch die Software ist einfach und schnell installiert. Ich habe mittlerweile 6 Kameras angeschlossen. Bin absolut zufrieden und wrde sie auch nochmals kaufen. Und am allerbesten ist der Service. Supernett, superschnell, superkompetent. Hier knnen sich viele eine ganz dicke Scheibe von abschneiden. Hierfr auch an dieser Stelle noch mal “DANKE”.
Kit molto bello ed economico, facilissimo da installare richiede pochi minuti per configurare il tutto. La qualit dell’immagine e buona sia di giorno che di notte, 5m sono pi che sufficienti,senza spendere per il 4 k. Il pi sistemare i cavi per le telecamere, il resto un gioco. Arrivato veloce e completo di tutto come descrizione , funziona tutto alla perfezione. Poi scaricando l’app si pu far tutto quello che si vuole con ogni singola telecamera, le notifiche arrivano all’istante , consigliato.
Fr den Preis sehr gutes System. Hatte Probleme mit einer Kamera. Ich habe den sehr guten Support kontaktiert und in 2 Tagen eine neue Kamera zugesendet bekommen. Ich glaube nicht, dass man fr den Preis ein besseres System bekommt.
Ce systme NVR ( camra surveillance sur disque dur ) est tout simplement le TOP
qualit d’image , son intgr
matriaux de trs bonne qualit
les fonctions et options trs nombreuses
la possibilit de l’appli sur smartphone
le logiciel accessible sur internet
le tout sans frais supplmentaire
c’est le top
si il y avait un petit moins , c’est certainement l’installation , s’y connaitre un peu en bricolage c’est toujours mieux
perage de faade , passage de cbla ect …
rien de sorcier non plus mais a not pour les novices.
Worked flawlessly out of the box. Easy to setup. Android and Apple apps also work well. No issues at all. Worth every penny. Even got the extra 6 months with the standard 2 year warranty. I haven’t used all the features but setup and install were no issues.
Took me about 4 hours to set up and install. I’m an amateur in CCTV but DIY and technology are hobbies.
Overall the kit seems quite inclusive. The cables are a very good length. Comes with plenty of screws and fittings and there’s all the necessary cables that you would need to set it up completely.
I did shave down the header of the cables because I couldn’t find my ethernet crimping tool. They fit fine after and are quite snug.
My only issues so far are the user interface on the NVR is not particularly great and the cables are grey instead of black.
Not had a chance to test the motion detection yet. The picture quality in daytime is good and the night time is brilliant, had no issues with image quality so far! The app is very easy, just need to scan the code and away you go.
Prodotto di ottima qualit, ho tribulato un po’ con la sensibilit per eliminare il pi possibile i falsi allarmi. L’unica pecca gi segnalata al servizio clienti che invia notifica di allarme all’alba quando la telecamera spegne gli infrarossi e passa alla visione diurna. Speriamo che venga risolto anche questo problema.
La sensibilit delle telecamere molto potente e bisogna lavorare su valori bassi se si opera in aree piccole soprattutto di notte, io le ho impostate a ” 1 ” .
La soluzione POE ottima, si tribula un po’ a tirare il cavo Ethernet ma poi non ci sono pi problemi di collegamento. Io registro solo quando entra in funzione il “motion detection ” e con 2 tera vado avanti una vita , poi si pu sovrascrivere e quindi non serve assolutamente un disco aggiuntivo ( a meno di esigenze professionali ).
Bin total begeistert! Idioten einfach zu Installieren, verbindet sich automatisch mit schon vorhandenen Reolink Kameras.
Hatte vorher ein teures System einer berwachungsfirma um 2700 – viel Komplizierter zu Installieren( Anlage und Kameras). Kann also das Reolink System nur weiter empfehlen! Echt Hamme
Che dire sono entusiasta dell’acquisto . Il materiale fornito era completo e l’installazione stata facile .
Le telecamere grazie alla alimentazione PoE collegate al router /registratore si sono attivate immediatamente ed il risultato ottenuto stato davvero strabiliante .l’APP Reolink consente la visualizzazione da telefono , tablet e anche dal PC . E poi la visualizzazione notturna davvero notevole Anche quando sono lontano mi sento vicino a casa Ottimo acquisto consigliatissimo !!!
The picture quality is great for both day and night but the motion detection is horrible. It is constantly detecting changes in light from the sun/clouds and rain and bugs both set it off at night making notifications useless. Best to just set it up and forget it until after something has happened.
Nous sommes installateur de solutions de videosurveillance. En deux ans d’exercices c’est le meilleur produit que nous ayons install. Ce fut un test et nous venons de recommencer l’opration, nous allons en faire un produit phare pour nous prochaines offres client.
Das Kamerasystem ist zwar kabelgebunden, allerdings wollte ich eine 7×24 Aufnahmefunktion haben. Dafr ist die Station gut geeignet mit 2TB Speicherkapazitt. Installation lief problemlos per Cat7 Kabel. Die APP funktioniert ebenfalls gut. Die Konfiguration direkt an der Station ist etwas umstndlich. Ansonsten fr den huslichen Gebrauch sehr gut.
Das Kamerasystem ist wirklich Top, die Installation hat leicht geklappt und die Handy Software ist auch gut. Wrde es jederzeit wieder kaufen!
Tip top pour une surveillance de la maison tant de jour que de nuit
Produit de qualit que je recommande vivement.
Facile a installer et configurer que ce soit en local, en rseau ou via smartphone.
installer depuis aujourd’hui. au premier abord wow. j’attendais pas une si belle image. MAIS je n’attendais pas grande chose en nocturn.. A proximit du camra c’est presque aussi claire que le jour. Par ailleurs c’tait tellement lumineuse que suis aller dehors afin de vrifier qu’il avait pas une lumire allum. Bien entendu plus loin c’est plus obscure mais toujours assez claire pour distinguer ce qu’il faut. A noter j’habite en campagne sans lumire de rue. Je continue l’installation internet etc et je reviens avec plus de dtails.
le photos joint sont pas des screen shots mais des photos de l’cran pris avec mon iphone.
Il y aucun lumiere dehors.
Excellent product and very simple to setup and get going. The picture is 4×3 aspect ratio so if you want proper 16×9 then may be look at a 4k kit. For me this is not an issue. Picture quality at 5MP settings is amazing but you will only get about 10 days with all cameras connected. You can drop the quality a little and extend that easily or replace the hard drive with a larger than the supplied 2TB drive.
A very happy customer, protect your home and get one of these very customisable cctv systems. I even ordered addional camera, just remember to get long cables for the addional cameras since when you buy separate cameras you only get a small 1m cable. With this kit the 4 cables were 20m each which were perfect for my 5 bed detached traditional house.
Cet kit de camra s’installe trs facilement.
Comme les camras sont PoE, un seul cable a utiliser pour connecter au NVR et pas besoin de prise lectrique proximit de la camra.
Ordered 2 extra cameras to the 4 included with the Digital Video Recorder and installed externally around my house. Used the 4 supplied POE cables and 2 self terminated ones to complete the project. All cameras operated fine after a the few seconds needed to fire up. Found it a bit of a fiddle to orientate the field of view at the top of a ladder, due to the screw catch securing dome cameras to their mount, this could be made easier by redesign perhaps. When all the fiddling done, the results have been stunning, the picture quality in daylight is superb and the nighttime’s black and white picture excellent.
I had an issue with one of the cameras, giving fuzzy infrared pictures, but the help and advice received from Reolink techies, resulted in an arranged replacement from Amazon.
The movement detector settings need trial and error to get best results, but these can be adjusted easily using the app, as can the extremely effective screen grid , to set areas of non response to movement.
The iPhone app has had 2 recent updates and performance is a lot more reliable now. I was able to watch my neighbour watering my garden, whilst abroad.
To sum up, I’m very happy with the system and trust it will record and deter trespassing in the future.
Satisfait de mon achat
Simple d installation
Vraiment bon produi
Very impressive system, waited for a while to review, maybe 6 months in now.
Good instructions, software seems reliable, some updates have been pushed out to app which is encouraging sign of continued support. Needed some advice to answer questions and email support was good too.
Units look tough and expect they will weather well. Only downside is the main hard drive recording unit only supports own brand cameras which may be an issue in years to come. Shame but the description is clear so not a surprise.
Decent length of cable although the bits to waterproof seem to need the cable to be cut and rebuilt, not very clever. I used my own cable where I had to cut the wire and it worked fine. Added waterproof box for the wire connectors to be housed in.
Added 2 of the WiFi Reolink c1pro cameras and worked well. Returned those in the end as too bulky for my requirements.
Picture quality is very good and that is of course the most important thing.
App allows a high or low quality video feed to be viewed so good if your internet upload speed isn’t great or when on 3G/4g.
I would certainly recommend this setup.
Schnelle Lieferung und kinderleicht aufzubauen. Plug & Play.
Gute Bildqualitt. Habe mich fr die Kabel gesttzte Variante entschieden, weil ich berall noch hin komme ohne groen Aufwand zu treiben. Deutsches Men wre super.
Ottimo prodotto, la qualit video ottima sia nella visione diurna che di notturna, impianto di facile gestione e semplice configurazione. Unico appunto da fare sulla lunghezza dei cavi eternet 18mt sono veramente troppo corti, sono stato costretto ad acquistare una bobina da 100mt per ultimare il lavoro.
Montato da circa un mese, sembra funzionare perfettamente, ottima qualit delle telecamere che sembrano robuste e ottima qualit delle immagini, facilissima l’istallazione e l’uso dell’APP per la vista da remoto. Ottima assistenza post vendita per un problema di fatturazione. Unico neo il controllo delle immagini registrate, che non molto comodo, ma funziona comunque bene. Se riscontrassi problemi provveder ad aggiornare la recensione, ma al momento lo considero un prodotto con ottima qualit prezzo.
Connect within seconds (wifi or mobile data) of connect to my hub, that was weird to a mesh network node, connecting to a TPlink router, that was connected to my virgin Hub. yes, I was surprised it work first time too.
I have been fixing computers since 1985 and I and work in a very small 4th line team (end of the line in support. if no one else knows how to fix, we do) that support for over 35k Linux servers, VCS, VMware, Docker, the lot. I was expecting to have a day or two getting this working as I needed. But no, it was all automatic 🙂 I made no changes to the default settings. Excellent.
Playback and ability to select only motion detection slots is nice.
The only problem I had was with setting up Gmail, so i could send Pic’s/Alerts/Video . I have two step verification, so i had to config. Search for this “reolink How to Allow Less Secure Apps to Access Your G-mail Account”
Pour avoir dj essay un produit d’une autre marque, venu de Chine et qui a march peine 6 mois, sans parler des pannes, je suis content de ce produit Reolink, trs bonne qualit, plug and play, emplacement pour 8 camras POE.
Il ne manque qu’une chose c’est la doc en Franais.
The product was essentially purchased as an added security measure because of reports regarding individuals targetting local properties. It is installed on private premises not a business. Delivery from Amazon was commendable with next day delivery using Prime.
Researched for quite sometime and made the decision to use POE IP installation because I perceived this to be the most “future proof” system although I am not an expert in this field. I set the system up and tested the cameras and software before the final installation and confirmed all was working as expected. Picture quality was excellent as viewed on an HD TV used as a monitor. The cabling was straight forward and has been fitted to the soffit boards with all the wires being hidden from view. The sofware was installed on a PC, android and iphone and so far all seem to work as expected both connected to a local netwrok and also over 4g although occasionally the signal drops out in some areas (but not necasserilly a fault of the software).
There are so many settings for the system and this is where it can be time consuming. I thought I could do it on the fly but realised I need to RTFM eventually. Again this is not a criticism of the system just a lack of knowledge of how to setup and use it. I have never installed one before.
It has been up and runnning now for approximately 4 weeks and I am really impressed with the quality and the control I have over the system. I am still making tweeks to it as I go along but it is doing everything I expect and with a 2TB hard drive it doesn’t really matter if I record everything rather than just “triggers”. It is set to overwrite any way and with the e-mail notification setup I can check at anytime.
I did as suggested and setup a separate account for the e-mail simply becasue youu have to lower the security settings. I use Gmail and Google kindly informed me that I had done this as an extra bit of information.
The kit came with plenty of cable longer than I really required but even though I have crimping tool i have just tucked the cable away in the loft space. The are even templates for marking the drilling holes which was a bonus. They are self adhesive and can be left on once the holes are drilled. All screws included, 4 extra RJ45 connectors and weather shield plugs which I didn’t use. This I think is the only real criticism. To fit them you have to cut off the RJ 45 connectors thread the weather proof connectors onto the cable and then reconnect the new RJ45 plugs. For this you need a crimper which I have but in my case the connectors are all above the soffits and away from the weather anyway. I know others have mentioned this. Certainly not a deal breaker.
Everything is up and running all I need to do now is fit a 4 point RJ45 plate and backbox to the wall and make it look a bit neater but nothing major.
As you can see I have only given 4 star for easy to install and and easy to use. This again is not a criticism of the Reolink product but down to my lack of experience. If I was to install another system I would aaward iot 5 stars across the board.
PS it has already solved an issue during the runup to XMAS with a parcel delivery. We were expecting a parcel which the company said had been delivered at a certain time on a certian day. Playback of the recorded video proved this not to be the case. Contacted the delivery company and discussed the non delivery and the CCTV footage which then convinced them that the issue was on there side and down to misinformation from the delivery driver. The delivery was made later that day. Bonus!!
If anything changes I will update the review.
Dsirant securiser mon domicile et avoir toujours un regard sur celui-ci , j’ai test beaucoup de systme vido de differents marques. Je prescise avoir acquis de grandes marques de le scurit video, mais il y avait toujours un problme qui me gachait mon achat ( qualit d’image, stabilit du systme, accs au systme ….) . J’ ai donc achet le nvr REOLINK avec ses huits camra. Et la enfin j’ai eu une qualit d’image associ une qualit de connexion,, ne m’obligeant pas a attendre pour le visionnage des videos ( l’accs par les application windows ou android sont simples et agrables). Donc pour moi REOLINK c’est une qualit des videos, une stabilit des connexions et une grande facilit de configuration !!! ( les rglages sont trs simples ). Sinon j’ai complt mon systme avec deux autres camras wifi de la marque REOLINK avec une longueur de cable de 30 mtres tout en gardant une trs bonne qualit, Concernant le stockage le disque d’origine est suffisant pour une grosse semaine de surveillance, mais je l’ai complte avec un disque exterireur branch en esata ( ceci trs facilement) Donc concernant le bon rapport qualit prix de ce systme je ne peux que conseiller ce systme.
Really impressed with how quick and simple the product was to install. Everything is plug and play, and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. The app is simple to use and again, easy to set up. Camera quality is very good, but struggles a little at night. In my experience the IR lamps are good for 10 meters maximum for any real clarity. Anything over this and you can’t really make out the detail. During the day the quality is slightly better. Couple of comments: the cameras in the pack have quite bulky connectors, and only the PoE connection is required. Presumably these cameras must also work with the Reolink DVR’s as well as the NVR, hence the connection choices. Not a big deal, but you will need to drill a 22mm hole in order push the connections through. Mounting the cameras was relatively easy, however the cable on the dome cameras colides with the fixing ring when you twist the camera in certain orientations. They could have done with spacing the rotating camera ball down another 5-10mm, and this would have allowed the cameras to clear the fixing ring and freely rotate in any orientation with out impediment. One other thing which would be nice is integration with Alexa so you could call the cameras up on a show. I don’t believe there is a Reolink skill yet. I’ve read online about a work around, but it sounds quite complicated and would require a PC or raspberry pi to be switched on all the time to provide the means to connect. Another thing which others may find helpful, I’ve located the NVR away from my router, and I purchased a TP-LINK AV1000 Ethernet powerline adapter. This allows you to connect the LAN cable into the plug socket giving you pretty much unlimited choice of locations for the NVR. It works brilliantly. There is no lag, or difference in quality when streaming over the TP-LINK or direct into the router (as I tried both to see for myself).
