The new hardware version is scrap, firmware for 5xxx cameras is not yet available.

I bought 4 Reolink cameras in 2018 and they gradually changed the hardware versions from 4MP to 5MP. I have no problems with these cameras. You still work for me. However, I recently bought RLC-410-5MP and RLC-420-5MP at the same time in January 2019 and these are new versions. Here are the problems I found: 1- The camera freezes and freezes randomly when using the windows client or web interface 2- When motion is detected and recorded, the camera freezes and freezes when using the windows…

Pros
  • AMAZING 5MP HD DAY AND NIGHT: This PoE IP security camera offers 5MP Super HD video at 30fps, capturing crystal clear and smooth video easier than ever. Equipped with advanced IR and 3D DNR technology, it offers best-in-class low-light capabilities with night vision up to 100ft.

great quality, great price!

I added this new camera to my 12 camera setup running Blue Iris NVR software on a large Dell server monitoring multiple corners/doors in multiple buildings on my property. The rest are 6-8 year old Dlink 720p bullet cameras that I paid $300 each for. I upgraded one of the Dlinks and added this dome camera as a new setup because I wanted to be able to see the cameras at a much higher resolution so I can recognize faces, read license plates from a distance, and other details that it is / was not…

Pros
  • FREE APP AND REMOTE ACCESS: Discover the rich features and functions of the Reolink free app and download it for free from iOS or Android. Intuitive, easy-to-navigate software provides local and remote access to your property. Enjoy peace of mind anytime, anywhere.
Cons

I love this camera! Can also be used indoors.

After moving into my new apartment I wanted to install internal cameras to keep an eye on my dog, to know when a walker gets there and just for general safety reasons. I've tried quite a few cameras and each had problems. The Wyze panoramic camera had poor Wi-Fi connection, lag in audio playback, recording started too late and the cameras just turned off in front of me and I couldn't turn them on remotely unless I was at home to unplug and plug it back in again. I also tried the Amcrest 2K WiFi

Pros
  • PLUG AND PLAY INSTALLATION: Based on PoE technology, the 5 megapixel camera uses a single cable (up to 330ft over CAT6 or CAT7 cable) for data and power transmission. Simplified wiring means an easier, yet more reliable installation, as well as a better choice for hobbyists.
Cons
