REOLINK Plug-in Outdoor WiFi Security Camera, 5MP HD Dual Band Wired Wi-Fi Camera for Home Security-2.4/5 Ghz, Smart Detection, Motion Detection, Night Vision, IP67 Waterproof, RLC-510WA

I've tried 10-12 Security Cameras and this as well as the REOLINK RLC-511WA - 5MP Security Camera, that they discontinued after my return, were the best. The only issue with the 511WA was the mounting style, it needed to be improved as it did not hold position. Hopefully they improve it and reintroduce it as I believe it's picture quality, ability to zoom X5 & day-time night shots with white light & acting like a security light are the advantages over this model, RLC-510WA.The advantage of this model is:1. being black - Less obvious | inconspicuous2. All outdoor cameras should have an option for dark brown or black. White stands out. Depends if you want people to know you have them.3. The absence of night-time lighting makes it inconspicuous or invisible to others at night. Less chance of being deactivated or plug pulled.4. One of the best in the industry of developing time range vs. sensitivity level. During the day the sensitivity should be mid-hi to High. During the night this would record 2 times a minute for the whole evening due to bugs flying. In the winter you could fill up an SD card 256 GB in 2 days. With the sensitivity function I set a range from 6 am-7 PM, then 7PM-Midnight & Midnight to 6 AM. This significantly reduces false activities such as fire flys, bugs, spiders, etc. This took my timeline from looking like all black, recording 2-times/minute to only action, motion & light changing events. Now my 256 GB card can go 25 days.5. Designed for you to only use as an:a. Home security system with your own network & storage devices or**b. or only with an SD card without Cloud subscription & no Ads - the best in the industry.6. Includes the best PC desktop software that can startup with your PC automatically in live view.7. The PC & Mobile Playback feature allows you to isolate Time, General motion, people & Cars. Beta for animals is coming. This works excellent. A few times at night some cars fall into the general motion but you get a feel that it's a car when the motion timeline icons show some light in the timeline clip. I just may have to adjust sensitivity at night to get them to go into the correct basket. But it's only a few.8. You have the ability to do time laps photography. Would be good on sky-scraper of an entire city, a work site building from the ground up or even a storm.9. Viewing options have 3 settings: Clear, balanced & fluent. Or high quality to low quality. I assume is to save data when viewing over Cell | Mobile data.10. The Brightness & Brightness & Shadow settings are important to setup correctly to have contrast during the day & night time to optimize the capture of cars & people & not noise.11. Detection alarm:a. The detection zones alows you to zero out trees in the front or neighbrs yard that my trigger the motion to capture video. by blocking them out, you have less false triggers. Easy to use the paint & erase features. You may also want to blot out a birds nest on the porch of an active nest.b. Sensitivity motion allows you to setup more than 3 sensitivity time zones. Like daytime & night time & other? to avoid false detection. One of the best features that make most Security cameras fail in my opinion.c. Smart Detection - Sets sensitivity for People & cars. Works well.12. Has the ability to alert you thru notification, e-mail with clip of Picture or video or FTP for All motion, cars only or people only. Excellent feature to isolate each components.13. To sum up: This camera & it's brother if they come out with a new & improved mounting are Feature rich, for do-it-yourself-ers & a definite KEEPER.

Among the many IP cameras I've dealt with this unit (RLC-510WA-B) comes in toward the top of the overall pack in general quality, thoughtful features, is excellent value for money.The main distinguishing feature is that in an age of dumbed-down IP cameras useless without a phone and an app, these still sport a web interface for configuration, FTP/SFTP transfer of alarm events, snapshot and RTSP functions. For applications involving remote operation over connections with transfer budget/bandwidth issues thee are key features.Standalone "smart" motion detection that is highly tunable is a distinct plus, as well.It's become very difficult to find IP cameras especially with wifi that are still usable for other than narrow purposes allowed by cloud+app. Lorex, thanks for still servicing this part of the market, and please continue to do so. :-)

I'm in love with reolink surveillance camera's. They are easy to use, easy to set up and very user friendly. Their customer service is also very reliable. The quality of these camera's is very good for the price you pay. I have used these at residential and also commercial and I'm overall satisfied. The option for SD card saves you to have to put in a NVR and then again if they ever break in they can always take an NVR with the recordings, while if you have your recordings on a SD card inside the camera, you will always have the recording. Unless they take the camera of course which is very unlikely.The night vision works also great as described.Love the motions detection, very accurate.Sound quality is also good, it's microphone is very sensitive therefore can pick up sounds from quiet a distance.I do recommend having the 4K cameras and with optical zoom for better surveillance especially commercial and open areas.

Works great good picture
