Description of REOLINK 4K Outdoor Security Camera with PoE, Human/Vehicle Detection, 5X Optical Zoom, Motion Spotlight, Color Night Vision, Time-Lapse, Two-Way Talk, 256GB SD Card Storage (SD Card Not Included), RLC-811A

Human/Vehicle Detection with Smart Alerts: This 811A PoE IP camera can identify people and vehicles in terms of their shapes, which minimizes unnecessary alarms such as animals or shadows. It can also specify the type of detection when sending motion alerts to you. You can know what happened by just glancing at the phone screen. 4K Ultra HD with 5X Optical Zoom: This PoE IP Camera is 3840x2160 high resolution. It is 1.6X clearer than 5MP and 4X clearer than 1080P. With 5x optical zoom, zoom in for a more detailed image, and zoom out for a wider view. The detailed information you see around your home or shop will be perfectly reproduced with live streaming and playback. Full Color Night Vision with Spotlights: This 4K outdoor camera enables you to view clear images with brilliant color in live video streaming and playback. Once an intruder is detected, the camera’s spotlights and siren will be triggered to warn off the would-be criminal. You could also manually activate the spotlights to stop the crime before it happens. Time-Lapse Videos and Multiple Recording Options: With time-lapse videos, you can keep tracking your 3D printing, see the whole construction process in a few minutes, or capture beautiful views from sunrise to sunset. Timelapse Videos or Recording Videos can both be saved on a micro SD card (Up to 256GB, Not included), Reolink NVR, or FTP server. No hidden fee will be charged, and no extra subscription will be needed for multiple recording options. Faster and Simplified PoE Installation: Thanks to the power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, this outdoor bullet camera can transmit videos and get power via only one network cable. You can install this security camera quickly and easily for a reliable connection. (No Power Adapter Included).

Excellent 4K camera after update

Excellent 4K camera after update. At first I was confused as to why I didn't have a headlight and siren after I connected to my dash cam. After some research I found that you need the latest NVR firmware for the camera to display all the features. After the update, all the functions showed up and the camera works at full power, connected to the NVR. I am now happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Minor issues

Wow! Works great with Reolink NVR. YES, it works with NVR.

This is one of my favorite Reolink cameras (RLC-811A). 5x optical zoom, two-way audio/talk, spotlight and built-in siren upon request. Everything is available through the app. Manual zoom and focus are very responsive on the mobile app. The PC client is very easy to use and all of the above functions work great. I had to install the latest firmware for it to work. After adding the camera, I suggest you restart your Reolink NVR. Very happy with my DVR and my camera.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some cons

I love REOLINK but be careful!

Let me start by saying that I love Reolink products but there is always something wrong with every purchase. I personally have many of their products and try to update them whenever something new catches my eye. Well, I bought the RLC-811a for the 5x optical zoom and talkback! It was to be adapted for a very specific need... unfortunately that was not possible. First, the seal on my camera was already broken (nothing was missing that I could tell), but most importantly, TWO-WAY TALK DOESN'T…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Very expensive

Make sure you have a new DVR and the latest firmware

This review is for Reolink RLC-811A as of 05/09/21. Before I updated my dash cam's firmware, I wanted to give this camera 1 star. It took me about 6 hours of random fiddling to figure out why the talkback, handheld siren and headlight weren't working properly. After a firmware update, the system suddenly became everything Reolink advertised. You can read the Reolink advertisement to learn more about the features, all of them work for me with 4 identical cameras controlled by a Reolink 8ch…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some flaws

Excellent clarity and motion detection

Like many others, I believe that I ordered this Reolink security camera because of its 8MP/4K resolution. And the difference in clarity with my 4MP cameras is significant. This camera is much sharper. But not only during the day it is much clearer, but also at night. I really like this Reolink 8MP/4K camera. The physical installation of this camera is very simple. You simply install the camera in the desired location and then simply run a Cat5 cable between the camera and a POE switch, router…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

CHECK HARDWARE VERSION! Doesn't really work with H3MB16 hardware

So I have H3MB16 hardware but the description says it works with this hardware, only you need N2MB02/H3MB18 for extended detection and bi-directional communication. Sound features to work with that weren't really important to me. The description clearly states that you can still view it with H3MB16, which I don't think is true. This happened after I updated the firmware and of course restarted/reset both the camera and the NVR and also tried 2 different ports and 2 different cables. Good…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Modern

Not what you expect

At first glance, Reolink turned out to be a great solution with great features and quality hardware. Everything stopped here. Here are Reolink's comments after returning all the gear: 1. First of all, I don't have time to bother with your support's workarounds for every little feature that claims to be part of the system...UNACCEPTABLE! I have a full time job that takes 10 to 14 hours a day.2. From what I've found, your reference material is mostly scattered, disorganized, and incomplete. So…

Cons
  • Not sure
