📷 REOLINK 8CH 5MP Home Security Camera System: High-Quality Wired IP Cameras and 8MP NVR with 2TB HDD for 24-7 recording, RLK8-520B2D2 Review

I bought this system based on reviews from other users and am very happy with it. Running cables through my attic was a little tricky (sometimes impossible to work around), but I wanted a wired system to avoid the Wi-Fi connectivity issues that wireless systems often have. Once the cables were in place (and the long ethernet cables that come with it are a real plus) setting up the camera was easy and secure, I connected the cables, powered on the system and got to work. It took me a few days to

I read many reviews before buying. I had it for about eleven months. I saw a lot of negative reviews along with a lot of good ones, but I still chose this brand. I'm glad I did. Setup was easier than I expected. I know about computers, but I'm not a magician. I think the average person shouldn't have a problem. I got it up and running on my phone in no time. The same applies to viewing on a computer. Even though I set it to a separate TV, it's always on. You have many options to set motion…

I took a closer look and did a lot of research before gritting my teeth. I even went so far as to check mobile app reviews for both iOS and Android devices, many of which are gross and some good. I chose this PoE system for the ease of installation and the fact that everything is in one design. I had an issue in the first week where I couldn't access the cameras offline. Customer service was prompt and polite, which eventually led me to determine that my ethernet ports on my router needed to be

After owning 2 Zosi systems and 1 Nightowl system in 3 different locations I fell in love. Never before have previous systems provided a working application. If it didn't last long - it was unstable and a nightmare to set up. ADVANTAGES ON OTHER SYSTEMS: - Cameras are actually manually adjustable left and right with no vertical mount (most "ZOSY" cameras have a mount that does not rotate left when mounted on a wall) - the mounting point is better made and can be adjusted without removing it…

The video image is very good, but this kit has some serious flaws. First of all, the cameras supplied with this kit are different from the standalone cameras sold, although they share the same part numbers (RLC-410-5MP and RLC-420-5MP). The cameras in this set have crooked firmware that does not support P2P. This means that you cannot directly access the cameras via P2P. Another major downside is the NVR setup. It has a hard-coded NAT subnet of 172.16.25.X. The DHCP server on the NVR assigns…

I've finally replaced the patchwork security cameras that used to FTP video to my NAS with a real security system. It used to take me hours to find tens of thousands of video clips and photos stored on my NAS. Now I can access videos anytime and watch them instantly. Less than a month after my system was updated, I was visited by a county police investigator. He saw the cameras in my house and asked for help creating an escape route for a man who had robbed a gas station on a nearby street. I…

Security system works great with cameras powered on. However, the NVR, which is also available separately, does not meet the standards. The cameras are standard PoE surveillance cameras. Image quality is average both during the day and at night. Bright areas of the day become blurred. The range at night is limited. No tricky features like color night vision or an ultra-low-light sensor. The biggest feature is that Reolink cameras are generally reliable and the accompanying app is modern and…
