Pros & Cons
Pros
This camera works well and was easy to install. It is now practical to install security systems that would have only previously been used in commercial settings in residential. You likely fall into one of two groups of customers - one that is brand ne... Read More
Zoom is a very new model that i sampled as soon as it came out. The zoom is not as smooth as i'd prefer (to help establish the expectation, i am a photographer), but works well.
It is onvif compatible so setup was a breeze. Goto your nvr software and add the new camera. I'm always on the lookout for a good poe camera that supports rtsp for feeding into my nvr.
The camera can be flush mounted to a wall or a ceiling. It includes screws and drywall mounts to do this. The green cable is my ethernet, going to the poe switch.
Cons
Reolink rlc-822a outdoor cameras delivered september 20th 2021. Returned defective camera for a replacement from amazon, received a replacement on october 3rd. I have zero confidence that a replacement will be any different. Not worth spending the mon... Read More
No ptz, no zoom, etc. Makes this camera unusable for me. There are other cameras out there that actually publish their camera specs in the documentation.
The camera is not onvif compliant. Contacting tech support is a waste of time.

Price
For the low price of $30 each, these are excellent cameras for outdoor use.
I upgraded from a 1080 system, and i gotta tell ya, i'm very impressed for the price per camera.
Definitely worth the small price difference in my opinion.
I can see my nvr all over thanks to amazon warehouse cheap very long hdmi cables and hdmi splitters.
Shipping
I was able to request and get this camera for free from amazon, and i am glad i got introduced to this brand.
Old camera sent alerts on cloudy days, or birds flying by.
Customer service was very quick to get back to me and provide a solution.

You can also create multiple other accounts with fewer permissions compared to the admin account.
The reolink nvr detected the camera, as did the iphone, mac, and windows reolink clients.

I then purchased 2 reolink 820 ip poe cameras and while they were good didnt provide the same level of video i was accustomed to with the nest cameras
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Since i had already invested time into wiring for the poe cameras i decided to try the 822 model
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you only need a smallrt field of view the 820 is fine but the 822 takes it to the next level

I don’t normally write reviews that being said i would have given this thing 5 stars if it wasn’t for the ridiculous amount of notifications you get if it is set to alert on motion
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I turned the setting all the way down and every tiny movement will send an alert
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For my application outside in the front yard it’s just not practical to notify on every tiny movement
