Review on Surveillance Supported Security Recording RLK16 410B8 by Paul Walters

Received quickly with two additional domes as ordered. This is my third system - in the same place, just keep updating to newer, better tech. My first reaction was that this is a great system for home surveillance. I haven't disabled or replaced the existing one yet, but it should be easy as I've been using ethernet cables before (but I had to put converter baluns on each end - now I can just remove them and use my existing Category 5 and 6 Cable). But I left it running on my desk and connected it to the internet and all 10 cameras to make sure everything was working. I have to say, while I'm quite a techie and set up the previous two systems, I was amazed at how easy and quick it was to set this up to access my home network PCs as well as my iPhone and iPad. I used to use the DDNS internet setting, but I didn't need it on this system. Basically it just installed once I downloaded the PC program and iOS apps. I refuse to buy anything that requires the manufacturer's website to access the internet - free or paid. This works exclusively via the Internet without having to go through REOLINK servers - great! Some other popular brands are not as flexible. The cameras look sharper and clearer than my existing system. I ordered 2 more cameras - Dome RLC-422 with zoom. I have zoom cameras now, but you have to use a small screwdriver on the camera to change the zoom according to location. I was surprised to find that they can be scaled remotely using software. Very nice - and the focus adjusts automatically when zooming. The kit comes with pretty much everything I need - you need a small monitor to connect to the NVR (I have a lightweight 21.5" HDMI Full HD monitor for around $100 that works well on sits on the NVR) like the existing ones I had age-old technology. I updated the NVR firmware to a version that was released less than a month ago - it's very easy, but be aware that it will take around 45 minutes with no visible progress. was about to email support when it beeped saying it was done and then restarted. I had to re-enter all setup information. So do it before you get too deep into things. I am very happy with this purchase, especially for the price - good value compared to other more heavily advertised brands.
