Doesn't work with Blue Iris but is still a great little security camera.

I am using Blue Iris as a security controller. All other cameras I have work with it. The information on this webpage did not mention the lack of functionality with BI. So pretty much useless for me. No many hours of struggle could find a solution to this problem. The good thing is that it is very well packaged as a standalone device and also very well made. Indoor test results were satisfactory for a single image on a mobile phone. The Reolink client software is good but always hangs on one of the WIN10 PCs. Since I use several cameras and have to integrate them into my BI system, this is unfortunately not for me. To update. Another test a day later. This item does everything it's supposed to. Large field of view. I love the LED light on it when motion triggers it. It is not possible to get the custom siren feature to record custom sound. Easy setup and installation. Minimal effort. Works on a mobile phone and on one of my PCs (the other one might be a bit weak and can't run the client software adequately). Added a 64GB SD card and it's reliable. Even if I can't integrate this into a BI system, I like such a redundant and separate setup. BI sometimes crashes. Nothing external is required for this apart from the router. I may have to try turning off the router to see if it's recording video itself. I suspect it will. So it's a great standalone camera.

Pros
  • When motion is detected, you'll receive instant notifications - push notifications in the Reolink app and email notifications - to let you know someone is approaching your home. Plus, the powerful, loud siren and customizable voice alert can deter intruders when there's danger.
Cons
  • Slightly dented
