REOLINK 5MP PoE Security Camera, CCTV Camera for Home Outdoor, Human/Vehicle Detection, 100ft IR Night Vision, 24/7 Recording, Up to 256GB microSD Card, Works with REOLINK NVR, RLC-520A

I like the Reolink system, and have 5 cameras set up as well as a doorbell camera. I appreciate the image quality and ease of setting it all up. Easy to install and works great so far. Night vision is great and detects movement for quite a distance. I have connectivity issues with the app on my phone, but the system in our media closet is strong and works well.

I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a new camera at first, but I quickly moved past that once getting this thing all set up. First, set up was very easy. I am not using PoE (yet), but I have plenty of 12v power supplies laying around. Make sure you get one that can provide plenty of current (I can't say a minimum as the one I'm using can provide 30A max, so...). Getting a RTSP stream was easy once I figured out how I'm supposed to do it. Make sure you download the REOLink client app if you're interested in streaming. The mobile app is good for most users, I would think, but my plan involves OBS and FTP. Very clear picture quality, but that will also depend on your home network. I plan on moving away from the app and setting up a closed circuit system, with the only outside access to the video feed being the software that's getting video from the camera. Currently, using OBS for any streaming, and TrueNAS for FTP. Need to mess with detection settings and all that, but I think it's a very capable camera for a very affordable price. Planning on purchasing a few more to complete a good home surveillance setup.

I purchase the Reolink system which came with the 8 cameras with 16 possible connections. I purchased these cameras here to add 4 more cameras. They cameras connect to he same with the same picture BUT do not have the speaker of the original cameras. So you can't speak two way with these.

Picked this up for outdoor security and it’s been a good, reliable camera. The video quality is clear, it performs well outside, and it’s been consistent without any issues. Does exactly what you want—keeps an eye on things without needing constant attention. Setup was straightforward, and once it was up and running, it’s just been doing its thing in the background. Overall, a solid camera that works like it should.

The Reolink PC and phone apps both work great and these are probably the best Power Over Ethernet (PoE) cameras for the money. Pros: - Excellent picture quality - PoE means you only run one Ethernet cable per camera for power and data - Reliable performance - Works well with Blue Iris PC software for advanced home recording setups Cons: - Requires a PoE switch (standard for this type of system) Great for anyone setting up a wired surveillance system. I use them with Blue Iris on a home PC as my recording hub and they're fantastic. Would I recommend? Yes, 5 stars.
