Reolink RLK8-810B4-A 8MP/4K 8 Channel NVR Smart Surveillance System with Person/Vehicle Detection Include 4 x RLC-810A Bullet Camera, 4 x 18m Network Cable

Been thinking about installing one of these for quite some time and was originally keen on wireless cameras for ease of installation and flexibility of location but went off the idea of continually changing batteries. Was also keen on Netgear Arlo's but don't want to be paying monthly charges for cloud storage. Reviewed systems online and the Reolink's seem to get consistently good reviews. Installation fairly straight forward. I initially scoped the camera locations by connecting the camera to the NVR and NVR to router using long patch cables / house cabling.

Was also keen on Netgear Arlo's but don't want to be paying monthly charges for cloud storage. Reviewed systems online and the Reolink's seem to get consistently good reviews. Installation fairly straight forward. I initially scoped the camera locations by connecting the camera to the NVR and NVR to router using long patch cables / house cabling. On Youtube The Hook Up had a good one on The 7 Common Security Camera Fails with good tips for camera location as well as other good reviews. Supplied cables are only 18 metre indoor cables so had to make up some extensions and use outdoor cat 5e for one camera. I mounted some of the cameras using rust treated magnets (Mitre 10 244340) onto the house facia so that I could move them if required. Youtubed for explanation and advice on setup- fairly straight forward and phone and desktop apps fairly simple to use. Playback has two options for quality- Clear (high) and Fluent (low) which may explain one of the other reviewers dissatisfaction. Clear is excellent with ability to identify faces from 10m or so in daylight. At night best to aim cameras at centre of main interest so that infrared lights up that area- the beam is good and fairly even but this helps. Audio is sensitive and good quality also. The AI is great to focus on people and vehicles. Some tweaks to suit locations but otherwise very happy.

It was easy to setup and in no time I had a POE camera network to monitor house.
The only problem has been spider webs! It has issues with the cob webs. House was unoccupied so wasn’t able to clear them and had to turn down the sensitivity to stop too many false alarms

The app is a little odd and takes some getting used to, however it’s worked flawlessly for months.

Day and night vision no problem at all and very clear especially when running rhem 4K. Microphones are super sensitive as wel and you can pick up people talking from quite a distance. It was easy to setup and in no time I had a POE camera network to monitor house.

Got alerted on my phone at 2am, guy jumped my back fence and was making his way towards my garage. Turned the alarm on, he got such a fright that he slipped jumping back over my fence and injured his groin. Caught whole clip in beautiful 4k quality night vision. Best security system I've ever owned. Would recommend. Easy install, easy use. Flawless quality. Got alerted on my phone at 2am, guy jumped my back fence and was making his way towards my garage.

What lets this good product down is the cheap poor quality connections from the camera to the lead. What lets this good product down is the cheap poor quality connections from the camera to the lead.

There has been a lot of break in’s around our neighbour recently so we decided to purchase these Reolink cameras. They were so easy to install and connect with our internet modem. The picture from them is so clear day or night and having the ability to view it from your mobile is great. I love the way you get an alert on your app if someone walks in view of the camera.

These cameras are not worth the money you pay for them. If you need them for night time don't buy them. They are bad faces even up close are unrecognizable and movement is always blurred.
Day time viewing is o.k but is super over processed and if you try to zoom in on a recorded image suffers massive pixelation. Can I return these for something else is my question. Next time stick to Dahua or Hik Vision but check the sensor size as it makes all the difference. Don't believe the reviews from youtube they false.
4K at night without massive extra light will dissapoint. Over 8 months
