Reolink 5MP Plug-in Wireless Camera, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi Security Camera Outdoor with Spotlights, Color Night Vision, Human/Vehicle Detection, 5X Optical Zoom, Two-Way Audio, IP66 Waterproof, RLC-511WA

Great picture quality, great privacy features, full static IP or DHCP, ONVIF, audio, reasonably low power usage when not in nightvision mode.... the best bit? the wifi range on these is incredible! As long as you have a good directional antenna on your wifi router/access-point... and as long as you replace one of the antennas on this with a directional antenna, you are going to be amazed at how far away you can position this camera - as long as the antennas are facing each other. Without directional antennas it is still at the top of the pack, however 300 yards is what we're running ours across, open line of sight with some trees on the side here and there, and we get maximum-bitrate full quality video and audio. It is a top-class camera, highly recommend it if you need one with wifi and the zoom so that you can mount it higher away from the reach of opportunist thieves. After reading some other reviews, I'd like to edit my review with some additional notes: I've attached some screenshots of the web-browser configuration facility. a) This camera can record 2560 x 1920 @ 25 frames per second upto 8Mb bitrate. b) You can disable UUID if you are not a fan of 'average user' low-security easy-setup features. c) You can have it so that it emails you a picture only, or a picture and a video or a video only when it detects movements. You can also have this motion detection footage sent to an FTP server for the techies out there. d) This camera does NOT require internet connection to function, but with UUID functionality it can work across the internet with access to the internet via your router. We chose to keep the camera disabled from internet access and relied upon its Onvif functionality to work with a software NVR (Milestone, highly recommended!). e) You can disable the infrared nightvision feature and the backlight feature, as well as the noise removal feature. Reolink have done what Hikvision charge silly money for, they have put together a great price high build quality camera with great image quality paired with full configuration ability, effectively this camera is right at home for basic-UUID app users as well as more advanced Onvif users. If I could wish for one feature, I would love to see them make the ethernet port a passthrough port so that the camera could allow other devices to use its ethernet facility to communicate across its wifi, like a bridge of sorts, simply add an extra configuration page to allow the techies a little more freedom to make even better use of the hardware. Also I would love to see these cameras in black! Maybe a more top-end line with more advanced features as above and replace the blue 'o' with a red 'o' in the ReoLink logo to denote the pro versions... just a thought. Our camera has NOT crashed, has never required a reboot, it just works, 24/7, it has been over a month and the camera has not let us down yet, if this changes rest assured I will update the review accordingly. However the build quality and the solid software facilities both phone app and web-gui are a cut above the rest and indeed it does appear ReoLink went the full mile and did their homework on this one. If you have problems with the camera, speak to their support, one of the few small companies which actually do respond to your emails and want to make absolutely certain that you have the camera running 100%. I did not get paid for this review, nor did I receive a free item or anything, I'm just happy to share my experience after going through a few returns of other manufacturer cameras and want to make sure you don't ignore this camera because of a misleading review. Usually the issues are mostly user inexperience/error, and on the rare occasion a simply hardware failure, the latter is easily resolved with an immediate return for replacement but the former is just down to the individual. I hope my review helps other Amazonians to make a better-informed choice.

I ordered this camera after doing 2 days of non stop research on various cameras. I ordered it in May and it took almost three weeks to arrive as it was coming from France. They gave me 10% discount for the delay. Now to the installation. I read all the questions and was going to order a long etherlink cable but there is a cable included so I followed the steps, set it up but was not able to attach it outside for a few days due to rain. Once you have set the camera uo, you don't need the cable again. Once that was done, I had an issue of power supply through the loft which took a littlevwhile but once everything was set up, it was easy. I can watch it on my phone or tablet. The night vision, zoom and picture quality are all very good. My only isssue would be that it is not a continuous recording but in bursts of 30 seconds or a minute. It records even when the leaves are moving but it is not a problem. I had a problem with setting up the mail notifications and Sarah from Customer services was very good. If the truth be told, all the information is on Reolink web page. I guess as customers, we sometime need assurance. The camera looks big in the photos but it is compact and it really does pack a punch. So far, I am pretty pleased with the camera and the service. This camera should be a standard for other security cameras. My main reason for purchase of this specific camera was long range view as I have a long garden and this was the only camera giving me all I required . It is just perfect. I just hope that it lasts a long time. Thank you Reolink for creating this product. The only improvement may be needed would be to have continuous recording if there is a security breach.

This is a review of the 5MP WiFi model aka the RLC-511W. This camera was bought under a lightning deal and by far has been the best CCTV camera I've had the pleasure of working with (and I've worked with big boys like Axis). Setup was easy, the camera feels sturdy and the quality of the footage captured both day and night is amazing for the price point. The photos above demonstrate daytime, zoom, night time with IR and night time without IR. Software-wise, the camera happily works with ZoneMinder and Shinobi (two very good free / open source software-based NVRs) and I have had no issues to date. The Reolink Android App is a little limiting in configuration but you can navigate to the admin page with a web browser for more options. Sadly this interface requires Adobe Flash which you have to manually activate these days, it's unclear what the future of Flash will be in future browsers as companies like Google are trying to get away from Flash as much as possible. This may cause administration issues in future, Reolink should switch to HTML5 or another more modern method of accessing video. Forcing criticism here (and this is stretching), mounting can be slightly awkward as the stem / stand can foul the antennas in particular angles / orientations, so sometimes you have to be creative when installing it. It would also have been nice for the colouring of the cables to match the colour of the camera (black cables with a white camera stand out a little too much). Neither of these are show-stoppers. I haven't tested the SD card or motion detection built into the camera yet but will try it soon. All-in-all, one very good camera. I'll come back and amend my review if I find any issues.

Bonne qualité générale, installation assez facile via l'application. Dans mon cas je devais la fixer au plafond dans un coin, ce qui n'est pas l'idéal pour visser (il faut tout tenir en même temps). Elle a fonctionné en continu reliée à un NAS (en Wi-Fi) et la qualité d'image permet de bien voir ce qui se passe. Par contre le gros problème, c'est qu'au bout de 2 ans et 3 mois fixée au même endroit, elle s'est arrêtée subitement et ne veut plus du tout fonctionner. Comme le câble d'alimentation n'est pas standard, impossible de dire si cela vient de là ou autre chose. Dommage, je ne pensais pas que c'était un produit "consommable". Édit : le fabricant m'a renvoyé un produit neuf, même après expiration de la garantie.

Non c'è niente da dir di questa telecamera, fantastica. Appena arrivata si configura in modo facile e veloce. Application intuitiva, però, devo dire che per IOS è ottimizzata meglio. La SD è di un massimo 256 GB potrebbero sembrare tanti, ma, essendo la qualità alta, finiscono subito (ma non è questo il problema, soprattutto se si ha un NVR). Preferivo l'opzione di registrare H24 anche con la SD e non solo quando rileva qualcosa, ma questo lo avranno fatto appunto perché lo spazio non è tanto sufficiente. Lo scatolo è ben distribuito (se proprio voglio vedere le piccole stupidezze, lo scatolo lo potevano fare un po' più grande). Essendo che ho preso queste telecamera per un'attività lavorativa, ne ho preso una enorme quantità, solo una telecamera è uscita difettata, cioè che si è spezzata in mano, però Amazon ha accettato tranquillamente il reso. In caso di aree veramente molto grandi vi consiglio di prendere l'access point/extender Wavlink che è una bestia e riesce a tenere la WiFi delle telecamere sempre stabile. L'assistenza Reolink non è italiana e quindi chatteremo con uno straniero.

Działa praktyczni od razu wszystko bezproblemowo zainstalowane sparowane oraz ustawione. Działa nawet z "zewnętrznymi" systemami nagrywającymi. Jedna gwiazdka minus za brak czarnego koloru obudowy - biały trochę nie pasuje do ciemnego dachu ;-)

Comprada por 90 euros. CALIDAD DE MATERIALES- Metal, cristal y plásticos de calidad. El soporte es también de metal. Se incluye todos los tornillos y llaves. CALIDAD DE IMAGEN.- 1080P verdaderos, excelente color y detalles. Contraste bueno con sol y sombra. Por la noche con IR muy buena imagen y sin IR buena. Si además hay iluminación artificial, como farolas, entonces la imagen será muy buena en ambas situaciones. Con luz artificial es posible dejarla en color siempre y por la noche ser verá casi como si fuera de día. Comparada con la iegeek ( modelo 25 y 30 metros) la imagen es muy superior en nitidez y colores. ZOOM- El zoom es completamente recto y es mecánico. Esto es no se puede mover hacia un lado u otro. No hace barrido. Hace ruido cuando se acciona y suele autoenfocar bien hasta el final. Para un ajuste más preciso hay otro botón en la app y en el programa de ordenador por si se quiere ajustar mejor o si no lo ha cogido bien. APLICACIONES.- Aplicaciones muy buenas y versátiles tanto en ordenador como en teléfono. Estas cámaras no tienen espera y se pueden ver instantáneamente al contrario que las funcionan por batería que tienen unos segundos hasta que conecta. DETECCION.- Esta cámara es muy sensible y es necesario tener la paciencia de ajustarla con la experiencia del día a dia ya que sino dará muchos falsos avisos. Detecta personas a partir de unos 8-10 metros, aunque la luces la detecta hasta 30 metros. Se pueden quitar zonas de manera muy eficiente a través de cuadritos diminutos en la app o en el ordenador. SERVICIO POSTVENTA.-Rápido y automatizado ( te envian enlances a páginas dónde puedes encontrar la solución al problema) ALARMAS: Se pueden configurar avisos hacia correo y por medio de mensajes al teléfono. Ambos son en general instantáneos pero dependerá mucho de la red. La cámara igeek es horrible en este sentido ya que los avisos pueden tardar horas, si llegan. El cargador tiene el cable más bien corto. La señal wifi la coge muy bien y la conexión es instantánea. La grabación se puede hacer 24 horas con un ordenador pero no en la tarjeta de la misma cámara como lo hace por ejemplo la camara iegeek. Si estarán en la tarjeta todos los avisos de movimiento y alarmas sin necesidad del ordenador o teléfono. No tiene ningún gasto adicional ni servicio de nube en Europa.

This is quite a chunky camera, but the image quality is great. I am using as a 'Generic/ONVIF' camera source in Blue Iris surveillance software, works well, Zoom can be controlled by choosing source PTZ control setting 'ONVIF(OXML)' for the Zoom. Audio levels is a bit low for my liking, but I don't have much experience with Cameras with built-in microphones, so not sure if this is 'as good as it gets'. As usual the photos conveniently leave out the ugly 'pigtail' of 3-to-1 cables for 12v Power, Network Cable (with waterproof gland) and Reset button. I wish they could make these neater or removable, especially when you don't need 2 out of 3 of them (i.e. connecting via Wifi, only Power needed) This is my 3rd Reolink camera, been happy with the price/quality level so far. A generous 12v power cable extension lead (& power adapter) comes in the box.
