Review: Excellent Picture Quality and Easy to Install - We are very happy with our Reolink security camera system with the NVR. We got the system for some added security at home and to allow us to keep our eye on the dogs while we are away. We had a hard time figuring out why the back of our couch had started smelling like dog because we always block the whole couch when we are away. As you can see from the first picture, this creature laughed at our blockade and made her way to the back of the couch. Mystery solved. The system is very easy to use and intuitive to install and set up. I really appreciated the drilling template provided with each camera. This made it very easy to ensure that each camera was properly secured and that the cable hole was large enough. The plug and play nature of the cameras and NVR made it super easy for the total installation. The hardest part for us was figuring out the exact locations we wanted to mount the cameras and making sure we could route the CAT6 cable to them. The provided cables were all long enough to reach from one side of the house to the other (though some are a little snug). I was very happy that the provided cables had the length we needed and was glad to see that further distances are possible with just a longer run of cable. The NVR interface is a little clunky without a keyboard, but it is very nice to not require a keyboard for operation. The app is very streamlined and works great on both iPhone and Android. There is a slight lag with remote viewing, but is not noticeable in most cases. This likely has as much to do with our internet at home and wherever we are accessing the feeds remotely as with the system. The image quality is great in both daylight and IR modes. I have noticed (as other mentioned) that the motion detection is very sensitive, to the point that a leaf moving in the wind on our fiddle leaf fig set it off. I also like that you can adjust the motion zones and 'blackout' some areas to limit the detection of motion to the specific field of view you want. Finally, the customer service is excellent. When I first set up the system I appeared to have an issue with one of the cameras IR lights not functioning. It turned out to just be a setting I had changed during the initial set up, by mistake, for that channel/camera, but the service agent worked through several possible issues with me to make sure there was not a product failure. Overall, we are very impressed with this system and are planning to buy some additional cameras to add to the original four, for further coverage of our house. I would and have recommend Reolink to friends and family looking for a camera system for their homes.
Review: REOlink is a solid system (with REOlink cameras) - I've had REOlink equipment for 3+ years now, and have waited until now to review after buying this latest system. Don't get me wrong, REOlink NVRs and computer/phone apps don't play well with other camera manufacturers and has caused me much grief over the years. But when using REOlink-ONLY equipment, their stuff is pretty bullet-proof. My latest system (NVR+8 cams) worked perfectly on the very first power-up. I have 20 cameras now, everything from RLC-423WS, RLC-423, and C1pro PTZs, to RLC-511 zoom, to 4MP bullets, to 5MP turret cameras, multiple NVRs, blah-blah-blah. I've personally wired 2000ft of CAT6 PoE to most of my systems, snaking through walls, attics, soffit, and even buried a few hundred feet of conduit to get all of the cameras and NVRs as inconspicuous as possible. That-said, here's the pros/cons to all of the REOlink stuff together, not just this item: REOlink CONS: - Doesn't play well with others - I think their inclusion of RCA-audio, reset-button, and power-socket is STUPID for an external camera that is made to be PoE (power-over-ethernet). I have to heat-shrink-seal every single one of those connectors on outdoor cameras (that's 54-connections I've had to meticulously seal) - Doesn't support HKvision encoding (used by virtually all of the doorbell cameras on the market) - Technical support is hit-or-miss; 80% want you to go away, 20% want to help, 0% actually do help - Both of my high-end recent cameras (RLC-423 and RLC-511) 4X-zoom cameras seem to have the same internal malfunction with focus... right-side is out of focus when zoomed-in and left-side is out of focus when zoomed-out - Most of their bullet and turret cameras have great quality, but such a narrow field-of-view that its hard to find good mounting locations (they are too zoomed for 8'-12' range use, which I argue is what most houses have indoors and outside for mounting locations) - Their motion-detection is based on pixels changing, not true motion-detection like Ring somehow accomplishes through infrared or other cameras with PIR-detection, so it is constantly going off for shadows and vegetation - The UUID-setup is so simple that it makes internet-security very questionable... if I can sign in from my multiple devices, other countries probably can too - Their cameras require you to turn on the active infrared-LEDs for nighttime use. They are NOT true nightvision like a passive FLIR would be. The problem with the infrared-LEDs is humans can see your camera and bugs are attracted to the lenses - There are plenty of cameras on the market with more optical zoom. 4X is frankly not enough for me in most cases, and most of their outdoor cameras start off with too much zoom to begin-with (no wide angle) REOlink PROS: - Their stuff plays well with their own equipment, better than every camera company I've tried - Their Apps magically work really well, whether on the same wifi-network or cellular or Internet-remote - UUID setup of apps is effortless - PoE setup of cameras with NVR is effortless, so are their WiFi cameras (as long as on same network) - Cameras have really good control of bandwidth-type adjustments (frame size, frame rate, KB/s) - Their motion-detection is fairly-decent; detects all movement (which is a pain with sun/shadow/bushes) - Their cameras have internal memory slots, incase you want localized non-NVR playback capability - I think their night-vision is actually pretty spectacular, but it requires the red-IR-LEDs to be on (and visible) - All of their stored videos have .MP4 codecs compatible with Quicktime and PC/Mac operating systems - All of their systems (NVR, phone, computer-MAC, computer-PC) work the same way, set-up is the same - I've had some cameras outside for 3+ years and they have held-up well to rain and sun I wish their customer / technical service people were more capable. Every time I talked or emailed them, it felt like I was speaking to an intermediary... like they weren't the company that actually designed the hardware. Frankly, I'd pay more and be more pro-REOlink if they gave a crap. Their ultimate response is basically always the same: our stuff works together and if you want to try something else, don't call us. And basically, they're right.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use cat7 ethernet cables for this  system ?**
A: Cat7 is in an "oddball" position.  I cannot think of a legitimate use for it at home when considering the broad compatibility of CAT6/6A and overall approval & certification by standards committees like the TIA/EIA.  These cameras will not push 100mbit of data, period, neither are they compatible with 10GBASE-T.

In English - using a higher spec cable where the devices on both ends (i.e. the cameras and the NVR) are not able to take advantage of it, is purely a waste of money.  I'd argue that for these cameras, CAT5 is more than sufficient as a long-term investment for PoE-type cameras.  The quality of the cable is going to matter more than the "Category" the cable is intended to support.  If you use quality parts end-to-end, CAT5 is fine.

If you plan on use 10G/100G, save it for interlinks between switches.  That's really where the use-cases exist for CAT6/7/8 anyway.  In 2019, there still is no real push in the home for 2.5G/5G/10G, not in cable/fiber modems, consumer-level switches, and certainly not your TV, Roku, or Xbox.

My point is save your $ you aren't future proofing by using a higher CAT cable.  CAT5/5E/6 is more than enough in 2019 and the foreseeable decade or so.

**Q: Once this system is set up on your local network, you can view the the screens from other computers right?**
A: Yes, you can either view it from another PC on your LAN, or you can also install the free Reolink app on your mobile device and view the cameras from off site.  There is also a subscription-based service where you can store your video to the cloud and view it from a browser.

**Q: What FPS do these record at?**
A: Hi, these cameras record 25fps.

**Q: I’ve noticed most pictures showing these cameras to be mounted horizontally. Can these cameras be mounted vertically?**
A: I have 2 mounted vertically and there are settings to mirror and invert the image if necessary. Also, the cameras themselves mount so that you have almost complete control with their orientation, aiming, angles, etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works like it should - perfect if you need a hands off reliable system
*by J***O on October 2, 2024*

I bought this system to put in my moms house that was going to be unoccupied. She needed to move due to medical issues but we weren't ready to sell the house. I live in another state and couldn't be checking in on the house regularly and I was worried about it sitting there with no one in it so I bought this system and set it up so I could keep an eye on things from my house. It has been fantastic, everything is still working perfectly several months later and I haven't had to tweak or reboot or mess with ANYTHING in that time. That is exactly what I wanted in a system and after researching many options I chose this Reolink system and I am glad I did. PROS: 1) RELIABLE. Like I said, this was my top priority. There is no one physically at the property to be rebooting cameras or messing with settings. I needed something I could set up and then it would just work and this system has achieved that goal. 2) Local storage, so no monthly cloud subscription required. This was also a huge priority for me. I don't want to be paying $10 or whatever per month and having all of the video sitting on the cloud. I wanted it stored locally, and have the ability to pull up and review the video remotely on my phone or computer. Again, this system meets all of those needs. 3) Good picture quality, in day and night. 4) Easy setup. Instructions were clear, and everything I needed was included. I did buy a couple of extra 100 ft ethernet cables because I knew I was going to be placing a couple of cameras pretty far from the NVR box. I placed two outside at the front and back door, and then two inside. 5) Playback is easy, I check in on my phone regularly and its easy to locate the moments when there is someone at the door, etc. It can identify pets vs day/night transitions vs people and puts a little icon in that spot on the timeline so you can go right to it and see what it was. CONS: 1) The cameras are POE only, so you have to run an ethernet to each camera (can't be wi-fi only) but at least that one ethernet cable provides the data and the power connection. However, if you are going to be installing cameras outside or somewhere else where it is going to be challenging to get an ethernet cable to keep that in mind. There is no option to connect the camera to the NVR using wi-fi only. I will say though, that having the cameras be POE adds to the reliability. It means there are no concerns about the wifi signal being weak or your wifi router doing something screwy and the camera dropping connection. 2) The adapter cable where you plug the ethernet cable into the camera is unnecessarily bulky. It's already hard enough to get a really "clean look" on these cameras since they are wired, unless you're willing to drill a lot of holes and run the cables behind your walls. Having a bulky connector on top of that just makes it look more unsightly. Luckily for my use case, I didn't care too much about the appearance since no one is even living in the house. I just needed it to work. BOTTOM LINE: If you want a camera system that can be hands off, and allows you to remotely view the recorded video, and doesn't require a monthly cloud based storage subscription... this is probably the best system you can currently buy for your money and it comes with everything you need.
