REOLINK H.265 4K PoE Security Camera System: 4pcs Smart 📷 8MP Cameras with Person Vehicle Detection & 8CH NVR Recording - RLK8-820D4-A Review

I've had some trouble and there is no 1-800 number or live person to speak to! You will also have to go through several screens to opt out of having your information collected. If you have a DVR and you record data, they also try to get you to subscribe to cloud data, there's no reason to have both. You write them your problem, but they don't answer.

Should I upgrade from 5 MP? As if! I spent a lot of time with the 5MP camera and wasn't sure if I should upgrade to 4K. I say it depends on the location of the camera and what you are going to use it for. A 4K camera is sensitive to light. When the sun is low on the horizon or the light is aimed at the camera, it's not as good as 5MP. At night 5mp looks better. Or if you want close-up shots of car license plates or faces, you'd better use the 5-megapixel 4x zoom. So I'm sticking with a…

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

This NVR is resetting channels and shows "Video Loss” on the screen. I tried switching cameras from another NVR but this NVR keeps dropping channels. Every time video loss occurs I have to restart the NVR and it works for several days until next video loss. I tried reconnecting all 10 cameras and moving them back and forth between the two DVRs; I have cleaned and reconnected all the connections. The problem is still there. I spoke to customer service about Revain for technical support. I…

The system works and the attitude is not bad. I would recommend the company. It works great for security systems with NVR. However, if it's a traditional security setup, you won't be able to use the cameras for "fun projects" like slow motion footage (either in advance or from a recorded feed). Also, the NVR is located in the closet. I assume all control and maintenance can be done through the PC application. However, this is not the case. You can update the DVR firmware from your PC, but the…

This is the first security system I've owned and it didn't live up to my expectations. The software is TERRIBLE, the mobile app is actually ok. The advertised resolution does not fit? I've had this system for about two months now and initially had problems with the software. Having done that, I've been using this pack for a while and it's really hard for me to determine where they got their 4K, 8.3 megapixel claims from. I have taken several snapshots of recorded images and the best resolution…

Dynamite camera. I use POE power over the air so there are fewer wires to run outside. 4K videos are great. We had a loser who hacked our wireless cameras so this NVR is perfect. I personally don't connect mine to a router as sending mothership manufacturer info is probably possible too. Video software is easy to learn without even having to read manuals. Exporting videos to a flash drive for archiving is very simple. I'm not using a phone app or website connection so don't know about those…

FYI I have been in IT for over two decades and have installed DVRs for security in the past. But I really believe that anyone who can follow simple instructions and fix minor problems should find this system very easy to install and use. This is the first NVR I've installed that provides POE for the cameras via a built-in switch. This greatly simplifies and cleans up the installation. Many of the issues I see in these reviews can be fixed with a simple fix. I didn't actually need to contact…
