Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The only one caveat is the included cable glands are pretty low quality, because of this i've experienced two leaks in them. Once done however they are awesome! These were all used for emergencies and actually caught perpetrators.

Resolution is great and the gui is very easy to use and navigate. Smallest tv go with 32 because you are going to chop it down to 4 pictures min.

Very simple wiring job to get the system up and running. The easiest setup ever. Motion sensing with push notifications are excellent, and the system is solid and reliable.

It usually catches the quickest of movements. Night vision is good especially if there is little to no ambient light. It will switch to day mode very quick if a bright enough light comes on. Play back of motion detection works great and you can filter...  Read More



Cons

Video playback is limited to one camera at a time. Reolink expects that the nvr will assign ips that are not on your lan at the highest level which makes it worthless to use the motion activated system. Nvrs cannot read your configuration file, so onl...  Read More

System has a lot of bugs despite being reolink being on the market some time. Nvr and web user experience is just horrible and very outdated. Recent updates to the mobile phone app is almost completely useless now.

Still waiting on refund. Will not ask for or purchase replacement cameras.

The warranty requires you to have the original box and all the items it came with. When you try to get warranty service they make you jump through endless hoops even when you send a picture of the camera or the view from the camera.

There is a lag between when it senses a trigger and when it takes a pic and sends it to you. There is no show me what what/when/how it was triggered.

The build quality of the cameras, video quality and the angles are fantastic.


The camera cables provided are really too short, something like 75 ft at best and of low quality.


Obviously addressing the cameras didn't work and a few times while logged into the system the camera told me that i had an inva...  Read More

Customer service is good, though response is always provided overnight.


This evening i sent one more email to get support from reolink, hopefully third time is a charm and i’ll get a response.

Packaging/appearance


All eqipment arrived in well packed cartons.


Out of the box it comes with a nvr and 4-4k bullet cams.

Competitiveness


Very glad we went with reolink, as opposed to the other options on amazon.


The app is very well designed when compared to other security system apps that i have worked with.

If you aren't a ham radio operator this will be no big deal for you but if you are a ham i would suggest using better shielded ...  Read More
