Hopefully this does not have to be returned

3. Reolink camera and hopefully the last. After a while, the Wi-Fi camera had trouble connecting to the network. Even if you plug it in using an ethernet cable to connect, it won't be added. So, this time I got a wired POE camera. Very easy to add as this is not a wifi camera. If you don't like the cable, you'll have to throw the wire away. However, the motion detection in this model is more accurate. I had to work with customer service 3 times to replace a broken camera. They were nice to work

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Installation requires their app, pan and tilt does not work with BI

Since you are forced to download the company's software and install their executable, you will not like this camera. A static IP is not provided by default and when I contacted support they told me to plug it into my router and discover it that way. Because the only other option is to install either their client or their phone app and just trust them. so as not to clog your system with something unpleasant. Я не знаю, действительно ли они не знают IP-адрес по умолчанию (кажется маловероятным)…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Normal camera with limited features

After using many different brands, all at least 5 megapixels, I can tell you that Reolink had the best IP camera app. The app is the most responsive and very user-friendly. At least their app works in IOS/Apple products. As fast as the camera is, it has the fewest smart features. The motion detection feature lags several months behind other brands in terms of usability. Motion notification is triggered when clouds pass overhead, and if you turn the sensitivity higher it won't pick up on people…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • No performance

Very good IP camera with a few remarks.

In general I am very satisfied with this camera. I have several other ReoLink cameras as well as Amcrest cameras. This one stacks pretty much comparable to the others. Pros: - Very good video quality, although not 4k. - Supports ONVIF and BLueIris (had to use RLC-410 newer firmware version) - Has 3x optical zoom (optical is much better than digital zoom) - Night vision is slightly better than others - Relatively small - Feels very durable - Supported POE - Has a built-in microphone - Has a…

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • I have no problems, everything is fine

Constant reboots at night and ignoring detection zones

During the day it's great. The FOV is closer to what non-AI cameras have (MUCH better than the 820a with terrible vertical FOV). I love the AI parts, especially the latest firmware where you can adjust motion, people, and vehicle sensitivity separately, as well as "minimum" object sizes for people and vehicles. Unfortunately, that's where the pros end. Once the night vision LED is on, the device will restart as soon as it detects movement. This reboot takes almost 2 minutes - until then there…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
