Review on REOLINK H.265 4K PoE Security Camera System - Smart 8MP IP Cameras with Person Vehicle Detection, 8CH NVR and 2TB HDD for 24-7 Recording by Nathan Pintac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality $1500 in the $500 price range

This system is fantastic. I'm using it to replace a lower quality EZVIZ system that I liked, but this is the next level. Initial setup was easy with the built-in NVR software. Additional changes I made through the application, which is also very fluid, responsive and intuitive. The video quality is amazing and the sound is good. Night vision is also better than my previous system. The digital zoom of the Reolink app is also very good and does not distort the image. Saving videos locally to your camera roll is also a breeze. I would also like to add that this system works with a PoE switch. All 4 cameras are directly connected to the switch, and an upstream cable is connected to the "cam1" port of the DVR. All 4 cameras look fine and have no issues with this setup method. It also simplifies installation as you can place the switch in the attic (check the temperature rating of anything you buy, I went with the Amcrest AGPS9E8P-AT-96) and just run a single cable to the NVR that placed next to your router. Access is perfect. I have a reliable internet plan with a reliable ASUS router and I can easily see all 4 cameras live over LTE. I further verified this by watching a live feed from the NVR to a TV via HDMI while watching the live feed on my iPhone and my wife's iPhone (mine on LTE, hers on local Wi-Fi). . All channels used simultaneously showed crystal clear live CO audio on all playback devices. I am impressed. Finally, I bought this system on Prime Day for about $120 off, so I'm a 5/5 star happy camper.
