Used this as I was on a budget and managed to get it with a Prime Day discount. I have fitted more expensive brands before and to be honest I cannot tell the difference. Simple to fit and more importantly simple to program especially the remote access which was easier to configure that a leading brand name that cost more than three times as much.
Recommended buy.
Pro’s..
So easy to install and set up..
Great quality on large 4k tv..
Cons..
Too much central fill with ir leds as in pic..
Would help having a remote control..
All in all I’m well impressed with this set up. Easy to set up literally plug and play!
Would recommend.
Very quick and easy to set up. Great picture quality both day and night. Would recommend.
System is far better than expected and very easy to use
If you’re considering this system, just go ahead and buy it you honestly won’t be disappointed.
I bought these due to having nasty neighbours. Perfect day/night vision. Really clear audio. Better the swann camreas. If ur looking for audio camreas then buy these. Well worth its. 100% better then others. Wasnt to keen or the wires, had them installed buy a company. But still worth it.
We’ve started putting these up – 2 cameras done and two to go.
We’d done lots of research about the type of cameras to get and finally decided on these.
We are very impressed already. The quality in daylight and in the dark is excellent. The sound quality is amazing! You can hear so much, even from a distance away. They’ve been great to install- the most difficult part has been getting them through our walls, but that’s not the cameras fault.
I know we have two more to put up, but we don’t regret getting them. We fee safer already. You can rewind the footage, look at a specific time and also send snippets to WhatsApp or even the Police if you need to.
I went from an H.View 1080p with infrared array and what a difference this camera makes! It’s so good at night time capturing all the weirdos hanging around and at 4k, you can get a clear picture of them too. You can even see the individual water droplets on the car and far off into the distance.
Very impressive camera system, the interface is very easy to use and the Reolink app is very fast and intuitive too.
My recommendation would be to turn down the motion detection to very low and make sure you have marked the area for this detection such as a door or window where people walking by are unlike to trigger a motion alarm/log.
The night vision is also adjustable (although the setting ‘backlight’ and ‘dynamic’ both with sliders is not explained) but both are adjustable to increase the night vision strength where required.
I bough this system to monitor may house and garden. I liked the idea that it captures high quality images and that I can view remotely from my IPAD and IPHONE.
The system is quite fiddly to setup and I found that the cable lengths did cause limitations on where I placed the cameras, but of course you can buy extra length cables if you wish.
I find it best to setup in motion detection as this will use less disk space and of course take longer to overwrite the disk. There would be nothing worse than going away, getting back and wanted to review footage to find that it had been over written.
Overall i am quite happy with the system and found Reolink HELP desk extremely efficient it getting back to me the same day and fully answering my queries.
This is a good value 24/7 cctv package, which is pretty easy to set up if you have ethernet cabling installed as it is POE. Pictures are pretty good, though night vision relies on ir leds which if close to an object reflect off that object giving a bright reflection which hampers the viewing. Had to buy Hikvision Junction boxes and it was a struggle to fit all wires into the boxes with waterproof connectors attached.
Easy to install, using the supplied cables. Longer runs will need extensions or you can make up using CAT 5/6 cable. Fittings are metal as are the camera bodies, the camera locking mechanism works well on a single Allen head screw. Picture quality is good day or night but at night there is a central hot spot which, while noticeable, is not a problem. Waterproofing seems good and the camera eyebrow keeps lenses dry. The recorder is small and light, allowing easy location in a covert location. Recorder runs cool and quiet without a fan. Software in the recorder could do with an update, works fine but looks like early DOS! That said most things can be done on the client software on your tablet, or computer and that is a much more up to date offering. Motion detection is like most cameras, not as good as PIR but works ok. Privacy screens will stop any problems with GDPR etc. Reolink customer service is excellent if you have any problems and the system is guaranteed for 30 months once registered. I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend, just do your research to make sure you know what you want.
I read many home cctv reviews, chose this one. I have had the system set up for a few months now. Straight forward to put together, ie plug in. Plenty of cable. I run the system by monitoring over a home (power) network. I view video on a client run on my pc. It is all plug&play. Had to do some early maintenance via usb into the back of the nvr ie black box. But it was not a big problem.
I have had some great help from reolink help desk when I ran into a bug with my pc client.
Any problems, you ask? Well i’m still don’t find it easy to sort out camera/nvr/client software upgrades and latest versions. But saying that it all works well. Overall I’m happy and would recommend.
It appears to have crashed as I find there are missing recordings, it only starts recording again if I manually reboot it.
At first I thought I just needed to configured it to reboot every day however for some reason that has not helped as when I checked again it appeared to have stopped again, so I have to manually rebooted the device myself for it to start recording again.
In addition when previewing it does not work when I select the “clear” option, only when I change it to “balanced” or “fluent”
The Ethernet cables that are included with the kit are not suitable for outdoor use, so unfortunately we had to purchase extra cables.
Additionally, something that was quite frustrating and time consuming was that the RJ45 ends/connectors would not fit through the waterproof cover/clips. This was a problem for us as we do not have the tools to terminate our own cables nor the expertise. I did manage to just shave off as much of the plastic boot around the rj45 with a Stanley blade so that they would fit.
There are 3 wires coming out of the camera which make hiding cables difficult. We had to purchase mounting boxes from HIKVision as the reolink boxes are out of stock.
The software could use some improving. Top of my list would be:
– Image recognition integrated into the motion detection. It currently alarms on lighting changes, tree branches moving and so on. The sensitivity/area adjustments can not sufficiently work around this problem.
– The option to playback at speeds beyond 1x.
These issues are not a big deal for me as I do not need to regularly use playback. DDNS works well for remote viewing if you have a dynamic IP.
