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 Drew Panah

This review is for the Reolink 4K Ultra HD PoE Surveillance System. The product arrived on time and was well packaged. Setup was easy, the POE cameras were recognized by the DRV without user intervention. The 8MP camera looks great on our 4K HD TV using the included HDMI cable. Two chambers were installed outdoors and withstood temperatures of 100 and 0 degrees. Remote access via the Android app and PC client works well when we're not at home. The email and messaging functions work as expected for alarms, the apps allow you to view and customize live and historical data. Day vision is impressive, night vision is good. The cameras came with 60ft cables that weren't long enough, so we bought ethernet extension plugs and 25ft cables from the hardware store. Before purchasing the cameras, I was concerned that the image would be skewed because I was mounting them on a sloping surface. No problem, the camera mount uses a ball joint system that makes it easy to correct to the desired angle. The NVR and camera user manuals can be downloaded from Reolink website if you need more information. The NVR software is decent. I haven't figured out how to scale archived images, but the scaling works well live, allowing me to see license plates from 100 feet away. My only complaint is that in the summer the spiders like to weave their webs on the camera lens and in the winter it's where icicles want to form, but Reolink isn't to blame either. I would recommend this camera system if you can find a way to install ethernet cables.
