Review on 📷 REOLINK RLC-511 PoE Camera: 4X Optical Zoom, Auto-Focus, 5MP Super HD, Smart Home Compatible, IP Security, IR Night Vision, Remote Access via Phone App by Marvella Griffin

This IP camera has an optical zoom that has allowed me to zoom in on the mailbox area and leave it that way. I then set up motion detection around the mailbox (nearly 100 feet from the camera) and send myself a photo when the postman delivers. The resolution of the CGI snapshot is the full resolution of the camera, so I can use the Raspberry PI to process the images and create time-lapse videos of the activities around the mailbox during the day. The optical zoom delivers crisp, full-resolution images that help you identify vehicles and people. This is my 3rd Reolink (but first with optical zoom) and I would highly recommend it, my oldest is the RLC-410 which has been working flawlessly for 3 years. Great features: (1) Optical zoom (2) 5MP (3) Full resolution and camera quality browser capture. (RPI can also capture images for processing) (4) FTP and email
