REOLINK 4K Wired Security Camera Outdoor System, IP PoE Dome Surveillance Camera with Human/Vehicle Detection, 100Ft 8MP IR Night Vision, Work with Smart Home, Timelapse, Up to 512GB SD Card, RLC-820A

Reolink cameras have been a great addition for me. I have installed Reolink cameras on multiple homes and businesses. The company stands behind of their products anytime I have had an issue (which is not often!). The quality is better than one would expect.

I have 6 cameral in the perimeter of my home. I love the the 4K view on my monitor. This camera was an ADD ON to my existing system. And took 90 seconds to connect to my existing NVR which has a beautiful, clean interface, and setting up your cameras is a breeze. The quality, night vision is outstanding!

The picture quality is good. Not great, it can't possibly be with the 8Mbps stream bandwidth at 8MP resolution. It can be used stand-alone or connected to a NVR; standalone can record on an SD card or store on a FTP server. The person/vehicle detection works great if you tweak the parameters a bit for minimum/maximum size plus duration. Motion detection is useless unless you place it indoors - too sensitive or too insensitive. There are severe compression artifacts with only 8Mbps bandwidth - to the point where you'd wonder if it's 8MP or just an upscaled 2MP sensor, but it's a security camera, not one for wining an Oscar. Night vision is good to about 60ft realistically. If there is a real floodlight to assist then the image is quite good. Even moonlight helps at greater distances. Push notifications are a bit annoying, going as often as 30sec and there is no picture or app deeplink to play from the event attached to the notification, all you can do is go to the live view. Emailed pictures for events on the other side are spot on (for person/vehicle). Some features are lost if you connect the camera to the monitoring ports of the Reolink NVR, but if you have it on the LAN side you can access them (such as pet detection) via the app. In all not bad given the price, features and image quality, plus it works seamlessly with the Reolink NVR.

Setup: Super easy! Love that no account is required for a 3rd party server. Software finds it automatically and made it easy. Camera Angle: Worse part of the camera. Wish it was wider but its decent. Im coming from Amcrest so was used to the super wide angles. I will need 2 of these cameras to cover the same view as the Amcrest cameras. Quality: Great! Feels sturdy as well and the view quality is crisp and very clear. AI Alerts: Spot on! Dog got out 30 minutes after I installed and I didnt know it. Camera alerted me an animal was spotted. Sure enough my dog was running with their freedom lol. Smart Home Integration: Works however did have to setup a account on reolink for this feature. Overall: Giving a 4/5 of 5 due to the low camera angle. I do however plan to use Reolink moving forward.

Great image quality

(UPDATE) I have to give it up to Reolink's customer service. They reached out to me to resolve my issues and to provide a very reasonable resolution to the issue that I had. Long story short, I received an updated NVR and I was able to hook up the 4k camera. I compared it to my 5MP camera and it does stand out and I was impressed. I am able to read the license plate of vehicles as they drive through the culdesac and the picture quality is nice. Installation was easy because the current holes on the wall lined up with the new camera as well. FYI - the older model NVRs are not compatible. When I received the newer NVR, it was slightly different from the one that I had. (Previous) purchased several of reolink products within the last 2 years. I started with the $500 NVR kit and over time added several additional cameras as the camera quality increased. Overall, I was content although they had issues here and there. When the 4k camera rolled out, I was excited to get it so I can see how it compares to the 5MP ones that I have. If I liked it, I was hoping to replace them out with addiional 4k cameras. To my major disappointment, these D800 cameras did not work with my 8CH NVR RLN8-410 although they advertise it as such. When my 4k camera did not sync, I was advised the older RLN8-410 did not work! Although it claimed it worked with ONLY 8CH NVRs, this is not true. There's no upgrade you can do other then to buy a whole new NVR.

UPDATE: The Reolink team offered me a discount on my next purchase for the lack of sFTP support. Fair enough, until having agreed a small percentage discount and bought another camera they WELCHED on the discount. Nice going Reolink. Expect customer service with a smile, a promise and … ZERO FOLLOW THROUGH. I hope Reolink enjoys its $10. Original post: Set up and operation was a dream. Working within minutes. Good pictures to my phone and pc without any complex set up. Microphone is clear. Two gripes: The movement detection is trigger happy. Rain, bugs, birds all trigger a recording even with settings on low sensitivity. Min detection size doesn’t prevent a bug shooting across the field of view triggering. In one night I had 36 emails. It was raining. So unless you’re keen to review hours of footage then you’ll end up turning off notifications. But I bought it for the view not security so not a problem. The second issue is that the camera can’t upload footage to a web host (for remote storage) using sFTP. This means that your footage can be intercepted/hacked. Probably not an issue to most people but a surprising omission. The support team have been responsive but I await a solution.

自力で設置、この手の作業はそれなりになれてはいるので簡単な作業でした。 POE対応のハブとケーブルを用意して接続するだけです。 この手の中華製品の欠点は防水性能だと私は思っており、雨水にさらされる場合大体浸水して内部回路が壊れて使えなくなることが多いです。 分解してみると分かりますけど、Ｏリングなど無いですから。ＩＰ性能歌ってるけどまあ信じちゃダメですね。このため、物によっては接合部にビニールテープ等を巻くとかなり長持ちするようになります。 ただ、この商品の場合可動部が多すぎてビニールテープなどの防水強化は出来ません。 軒下などの水のかからない場所に設置するのであればかなりお勧めです。コスパは良いですね。 後気になったのは画角が狭いですね。レンズ自体が魚眼では無い。 まあ、魚眼にして画像処理で歪みを直すなどをやるにはコストがかかりすぎるのでしょう。 総じて、良い商品だと思います。 ただ、高額の商品とは違い欠点はしっかりある、その欠点を理解した上で使用することが前提です。 数万、数十万のカメラと同性能を求めること自体が間違っています。 ご自身のやりたいこと、望む性能と天秤に掛けてお選びください。

購入して1年以上経ちますが、バッチリ使えて、機能も優れています。お値段もグッド、アプリも使い勝手が良いです。

ｗｅｂカメラを初めて購入しましたが、期待していた通りで満足しています。

RLC-820Aを購入 レオリンクの他カメラは問題ないですが、こちらの商品だけ設定項目が異常に少なくモノクロでしか映りません。 遠隔で動かせる訳でもなくこのカメラのメリットを何一つ感じなかった 他のタイプにした方がいいです。
