Review on REOLINK H.265 4K PoE Security Camera System: 4pcs Smart πŸ“· 8MP Cameras with Person Vehicle Detection & 8CH NVR Recording - RLK8-820D4-A by Noah Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good system for a dime.

A quality budget system. I have installed 5 cameras so far and everything is very clear. The app is easy to use. The Windows client application is robust and supports PTZ. The application allows you to increase the speed up to 4x. With the Windows client you can zoom up to 16x. Lots of color and contrast settings to play with. The night mode is very clear. Cons: The hard drive is too small. (5 chambers filled it in 6 days). I very easily replaced it with a 4TB drive. The operating system should be built into the board, so you don't even have to reinstall the software, just format the drive using their software. Sometimes the app doesn't play the video on the first click, but it could be my network connection. Only clips from the 1930s can be downloaded via mobile. app.Motion sensors are turned off before 15 and I still get alerts for bugs flying in front of the camera. Maybe in a future firmware update it will be possible to specify where the ground floor is? Lenses sometimes fog up in high humidity (before rain)

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Generally ok, but...
