Reolink RLC-823A 8MP Outdoor PTZ PoE Camera with Spotlight, 3840x2160, 25FPS, 5X Optical Zoom, Color NightVision, Two-Way Audio, MicroSD Slot (Max. 256G)

Purchased this to keep an eye on our back yard while we are away for an extended period.
I was surprised how easy and fast it was to get going. The app works well and has some nice features. No complaints about the image quality - it's what you'd expect for a security camera, but it's no studio camera. The remote monitoring is a bit clunky and slow when it comes to 2-way audio, it's borderline how useful it would really be due to the lag.

Note the included power supply and CAT cable is ludicrously short unless you have a power point right next to the install point, so just assume you will want a PoE setup. Purchased this to keep an eye on our back yard while we are away for an extended period.

Easy to install. Best camera I have. Liked it so much I got a second one. Easy to install. Best camera I have. Liked it so much I got a second one.

Easy to set up however does have limitations. Can only have one setting for the camera on all devices, so if running PC and Android at the same time you cant have different settings. It will send out two lots of alerts/notifications (one from PC and one from camera). Very sensitive for detection especially at night and rain. had minse set at 10 and still getting too many false alerts. Zoom could be better. If you have auto tracking on the noise of the motor moving is quite annoying if try to listen to conversations.
Picture quality is very good and the spotlight makes for good viewing at night.

I have bought two of these. Generally they work very well BUT the two-way audio is a complete waste of time. The lag is horrible and no one at the camera end can every understand what I am saying. The receiving audio is ok, but not great.
The rest of it works well, but operations through the app are laggy. If you want a set-and-forget camera then this is just fine. If you want to play around with it a lot and use 2-way audio - go for a google product, I have a friend with one of those and it works great for the 2-way audio. I have bought two of these.

Great camera. Very good ability to change sensitivity levels for detection. The AI feature eliminates 95 percent of false alarms. Reolink support is fantastic Great camera.
