REOLINK4K 8MP Outdoor Security Camera with 5X Optical Zoom, Wi-Fi 6 Tech, Smooth Remote Viewing with H.265 Recording, Color Night Vision, Human/Vehicle/Animal Detection, RLC-811WA

Added 4 of these to our Reolink RLK12-800wpt4 NVR system. The setup really couldn't have been any easier. Image quality is great and the FOV is very impressive. The most difficult part of setup was the installation. A little more clarity on the adjustability of the mounting plate would have made the job a bit easier. There is a small hex screw on the mounting plate that seems to allow rotational adjustment, but didn't seem to loosen enough for easy horizontal/vertical adjustment. The cameras are a bit bigger than the turret style cameras that I'm used to, likely due to the 5X optical zoom mechanism. If replacing existing cameras, be aware that the size of this camera could make mounting difficult in tight spaces. I would highly recommend this camera.

Presumably you understand the sophisticated features of this very well designed and made AI sensor camera, one of the latest in Reolink's evolving line. One question you may have (that I couldn't find the answer to) is, Yes, it stays zoomed in to whatever setting you leave it. However, it appears the various sensor settings may work on the extended (zoomed out) field of view, not just what you set it to look at (look out you waving ferns, I gotta clip you back.) Another issue for me was having to use this a Long Way from the NVR, via 2 OAPs, it cannot connect to the NVR if it doesn't have the same 192.198.XXX address as the NVR (if your OAPs generate other XXX addresses, your only recording option is on a micro SD card, 256GB holds a Ton of shots even with pre and long after recording, and waving ferns lol.)I don't use the IR or floodlights for night vision. There's a lamp nearby that the camera picks up weak color vision with, it is so sensitive.While it has a very sturdy metal case, I chose to anchor, hide and further protect it in 4" ABS plumbing fittings, which it fits into perfectly (not 3".) Easy to extend the antennas outside the shell with cables here, and Excellent WiFi reception even through the jungle. Also makes a snug, warm home for a few geckos.

Almost returned camera because of weak signal. Router on inside wall about 25ft away Changed camera setting to 2.4g and much better connection. Like the camera picture

Camera worked OK as long as you find a memory stick that is compatible with it. Don't use Lexar. But, If you have an iPhone, the app will kill your battery fast running in the background some kind of audio activity. Every time I am done with the app, I must double click to bring up open apps and swipe up the Reolink to shut it down. If I forget, the battery will be dead in a few hours. I tried to tell Reolink, but they really don't have a system in place to understand problems and get them fixed. They simply ask the same standard questions over and over, even if you answer them in great detail!

The media could not be loaded. RLC-811WAI'm a very experienced user with Reolink Cameras. My dad and I have been very pleased with Reolink equipment over the years. They are hard to beat for Price/Quality This camera is no exception. Works fantastically with wifi 6. My Mom wanted something wireless to monitor her kitty house because she's been battling a skunk eating all the food and tearing stuff up.-If you have a Reolink NVR already setup on your network it will automatically take it over, then change the default passwords, so you will have to set it up through the NVR First and then change the password to whatever you want if you need to run it standalone for a project. (This can be a bit of a headache for someone who doesn't understand what's happening when they try to setup using the QR code and it won't activate.) Tech Skill and Basic Network understanding is required.-No Reolink NVR on network then you can activate it with QR Code in mobile app or software on computer without issue.Reolink Equipment is meant to work well with other Reolink equipment, trying to connect them to other vendors systems isn't impossible but may cause unnecessary headaches.
