Review on πŸ“· REOLINK 5MP Outdoor/Indoor IP PoE Camera - High Resolution (2560x1920@30FPS), Waterproof, IR Night Vision, Motion Detection, Smart Home Compatible, Supports up to 128GB Micro SD Card - RLC-410-5MP by Andre Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unusable sound and rejection support issue

For those who don't use a microphone this is a great camera, 5 stars for 5MP video and a well thought out external Micro SD card slot. I would give 4 stars overall IF ONLY the sound was as good as the 4MP model. Since the audio is as bad as others have reported, and because customer service doesn't spot bad audio, I can't use the better 5MP version. The sound is intermittent, distorted and weak. The volume should be set to MAX. The 5-megapixel audio version is unusable because squelch was added without custom threshold, attack, or release time settings. There is no firmware fix. Unfortunately I'm sending all 3 back for a refund.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
