Review on πŸ“· REOLINK RLC-511 PoE Camera: 4X Optical Zoom, Auto-Focus, 5MP Super HD, Smart Home Compatible, IP Security, IR Night Vision, Remote Access via Phone App by Joy Janes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent resolution and supported by my NAS

I installed 2 of these Reolink RLC-511 PoE cameras and am very happy with the image quality and software features. Each had a 32GB micro SD card installed and that was enough to take the picture initially. But constant motion alerts became a problem even after motion zones were adjusted and sensitivity lowered: leave them on and be frequently interrupted (often by a passing leaf or moth), turn them off and you might miss something. I've also noticed that the constantly running Reolink app on my smartphone consumes a lot of power. So I connected the cameras to my Synology NAS running Surveillance Station NVR. I now record 24/7 to my 6TB NAS drives (currently capped at 100GB) so I don't miss anything and can view recorded content on a timeline.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Vulgarity
