Reolink Doorbell Camera Wireless 2K 4MP with Smart Detection, Video Doorbell with Head-to-Toe View for Package Monitoring, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, No Monthly Fee for Local Storage

Brilliant bit of kit. We first bought a similar Eufy doorbell and were intensely disappointed with the poor battery life, poor app with limited zoning features, and either constant false motion notifications or failure to detect relevant events. We chose to return the Eufy doorbell and try this Reolink one and it’s now like night and day. The Reolink doorbell has been consistently good. No more false alarms, better detection, better picture quality, better battery life (ours has been in use for almost a month and still has over 50% battery on a single charge!), and a much more intuitive and customisable app as well. The only downside is that you will need to purchase a separate chime for the doorbell if you don’t already have a compatible one, which will increase the overall price, but I’d say the quality you get is absolutely worth it.

Easy to install, easy to read and understand the information booklet. I have given the doorbell battery a full charge prior to mounting. I was concerned at first that a thief might find it easy to remove the device but in the booklet tells yo how to release the device from bracket, don't loose the tool inside the box, as this is needed to help remove the device. On setting up the device for the first time, the device asks you for WiFi address and password followed by setting up the individual device password for extra security. The quality of the build is very strong and robust. Good sound and video quality on playback. On playback mode you can filter for either; vehicles, people and parcels. PIR detection is really good for motion detection. On night time playback on black and white video, really good quality. Overall really good doorbell, really quick at response time from the camera detection of a vehicle, person or parcel to the Reolink app and video calling through the app. I brought this on a really good deal, so for me value for money is really good. Highly recommend this device.

Great video quality and noise reduction works great to filter out a busy road. can show packages and faces and when combined with a chime alerts you to someone at your door before they ring the bell. Easy to set up with the mobile app and guides you through everything. can be powered from existing doorbell wiring to save having to charge. If connected to a nvr or with a sd card installed no need for a subscription and no need to store your footage on the cloud. cons: Battery only lasts about a week so if you don't have doorbell wiring in place already you will have to charge it every week. I have since replaced it with the poe version as I kept forgetting to charge but the poe doorbell has a different lens and doesn't catch as much on the ground. If you are deciding between wireless or poe, Wireless is quicker to instal and has a better camera but needs charging. Poe needs wiring back to the nvr camera doesn't cover the floor as well. But doesn't need charging and comes with a chime. Usability with both is the same with great detection and easy to use app.

Sometimes the delay between the button being pressed and you receiving the notification is so long, they have already left. I missed a shopping delivery because I couldn’t hear it ring, got the call and went downstairs, already gone. Chime sold separately, tbh it is required. Sometimes detects no activity at all when people are walking thru front door, sometimes set off by a tree blowing in the wind. Almost useless tbh. Been up a week on medium setting, getting warnings about battery life. Going back tomorrow, extremely unimpressed

Good quality and battey lasts weeks, lots of options.

Reolink have done a good job of this. I was very nervous about the wiring and compatibility issues but the instructions and video assistance support is all really clear and easy to understand. I removed our button from the front door and hard-wired this Reolink camera using the spare cables they provide. I’m pretty sure my power to the doorbell is less than the recommended voltage but it still seems to be enough for it to function correctly and maintain its charge. Does not require any subscription as others have mentioned and if you’ve got other Reolink cameras around the property it’s super easy to add to your existing network via the app, like a Lego set you can keep expanding on! It’s also a very good-looking doorbell with great angle and picture quality. When you go back to review recorded events, each thumbnail has an icon (person, car or pet) to indicate what moving object triggered the recording. Very helpful as means you can filter history to what you are looking for. Lots of flexible options like how sensitive the motion detector is, a variety of ring tone noises and volume control. Talk back feature, night vision and status indicators. I really struggle to fault this unit, very impressed!

So far seriously unimpressed, do wonder how many of the reviews (as well as youtube) were thanks to freebies. Setup process is okay, no issue there but lets talk about the advertised features: Quality of image - It is okay wide field of view obviously brings a distorted image but detail is good Motion Detection - Think my unit shipped without this as so far in an hour of testing and changing sensitivity levels multiple times it has only ever sent a notification when i am literally standing in front of the camera for 5 seconds, It does not detect me walking up the external steps nor does it detect me at any point in the drive way. And yes i have tested person detection sensitivity at different levels set sizes larger or smaller than etc but so far a notification only ever comes through if i am directly in front of the doorbell, pretty useless really FTP - This is the sole reason i choose this camera, and to say its flaky is an understatement So first off i run many servers both at home and in the cloud and very comfortable setting up FTP SFTP NFS and CIFS shares on linux platforms. So i have setup a dedicated FTP Docker container on my proxmox setup. I have tested the logins via FileZilla and all works fine. It took about 10 attempts and finally the Reolink app stated a successful attempt, and yes it had created a folder structure on the FTP server so i know it can work. And then nothing, when checking settings it's back to 19Error (cannot even format the error message correctly in the app that's the level of detail your paying for) and the error message is as vague as it comes. I guess this is by design because you know despite all their marketing what they want is for you to subscribe to their cloud. Well simply put ignore the youtubers who praise how simple everything is without actually showing the nitty gritty, save your money and sanity and buy something else. I will give it another hour of testing and if no success it is going back

Door bell struggles to sit in the door mount need a cable tie to hold it there

One of the best doorbell with features never seen in other doorbells but... But there is a problem which i am discussing with Reolink is that this new 2k doorbell the below don't work which maybe a new firmware needed of a but with the current application need to be updated. 1. Says format successfull but SD Card still not formated. 2. Album shows empty so you can not delete unwanted captures. 3. Wide view doesn't work it flips but picture still small n not Wide. The rest is 100% perfect 👌 and the best of that u can limit the detection area so card and people passing far are not detected, the detection will tell if it's a person or a car. I may return this product becuse Amazon seems they couldn't fix my problem because the DoorBell was from Germany

Good: No cloud subscription, works with existing chimes, easy to install, camera is of adequate quality. Seems to drip charge off the existing wiring. Supports a wide range of voltages from the wiring. Bad: Really needs better API and integration possibilities (for example to work with Home Assistant, or Apple HomeKit - to do that you need the Reolink hub). Notifications seem really hit and miss, sometimes we get them, sometimes we don't, sometimes we get too many - at least the doorbell always works. App is the usual badly developed poor UX from China nonsense. It's a little too easy to remove.

Brak wsparcia dla obsługi google home (naciśniecie przycisku dzwonka nie jest obsługiwane mimo opcji do wyboru w aplikacji google home), kolejny duży problem to brak jednoczesnej obsługi NVR i chmury więc albo mamy kamerę podpiętą pod rejestrator i dane są bezpieczne (lokalnie NVR) albo działa niezależnie (z kartą sd wewnątrz). Podłączony pod NVR nie powiadamia w aplikacji reolink że ktoś dzwoni i brak podglądu. Suport o tym wie i pracują nad tym problemem ale nie wiadomo kiedy i czy będzie to działać kiedykolwiek poprawnie. Brak w zestawie Reolink Chime którego nie idzie dokupić

This product delivers exactly as advertised, and even exceeds expectations in some areas. For me, the standout feature is the exceptional battery life. It lasts so long that I honestly can’t remember the last time I charged it—easily two months or more between full charges. That’s a huge improvement over my previous device from a well-known brand, which required much more frequent charging. Overall, I’m very impressed.

J’ai récemment acheté cette sonnette vidéo reolink et, globalement, j'en suis très satisfait. Elle offre de nombreux atouts, notamment une résolution vidéo 2K qui fournit des images d'une grande clarté. C’est un vrai plus pour identifier facilement les visiteurs ou surveiller les abords de la maison. Le fait de pouvoir stocker les vidéos localement, via une carte microSD, est également un excellent point : cela permet de conserver les enregistrements sans avoir besoin de souscrire un abonnement, ce qui est assez rare sur ce type de produit. L'appareil propose aussi des options de détection de mouvement intelligentes et personnalisables. Ces paramètres sont vraiment utiles pour éviter les fausses alertes et s’adapter aux différents besoins de surveillance. Côté alimentation, le modèle fonctionne sur batterie, ce qui est pratique pour une installation sans fil. Néanmoins, la batterie présente quelques inconvénients. Elle n’est pas amovible, ce qui complique son remplacement en cas d’usure, et nécessite des réglages précis pour optimiser son autonomie. Pour maximiser cette dernière, il est d’ailleurs souvent nécessaire de faire quelques ajustements, de plus l'enregistrement des vidéos sur le NVR reolink n'est pas possible. Enfin, quelques améliorations seraient appréciées. Une batterie amovible faciliterait l’entretien et la durabilité du produit. L'ajout d'un panneau solaire pourrait également prolonger l’autonomie sans avoir à recharger fréquemment la batterie comme sur la ring doorbell 2. En résumé, c’est une excellente sonnette vidéo avec de belles fonctionnalités, même si quelques ajustements la rendraient encore meilleure.
