Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The remote viewing app was so easy, i am a little concerned about the privacy setting and what data is being stored in the cloud. Each camera must be reset at the camera before firmware update. I was contacted by reolink support via email after this p... Read More

E-ethernet is an all-in-one security system that records 24 hours a day. Each camera ethernet cable goes up to my roof and into an attic vent then down to a hallway, into the nvr controller. It is important to understand that the cameras have only one... Read More

Software has a well-thought out ui. Turret cameras adjust easily.

Cons

Software is horribly bad. Documentation is inadequate to complete the startup process. Cameras are made of plastic and seem cheaply made. Very disappointing and aggravating.

Tried calling amazon support. The problem persists. All of a sudden those 2 cameras are stuck in an endless power cycling never to reconnect back to the nvr.

It is useless unless you want to mask off the whole viewing area or set the sensitivity so low that it doesn't detect you waving your hand in front of the lens. It does record motion, but at night it records all of the bugs flying near the camera.

Have to drill a large hole to get the bulky three-way through instead of a neat 1/4 hole. The advertised ie browser plugin is useless and keeps crashing the ie browser, which btw is the only browser for web access (local or remote) to the nvr system a... Read More

Reolink support is in china, and a question typed in english never seems to be understood. The tech support line takes atleast 24 hrs.

Highlights

Quality

Easy playback feature and lots of other features such as picture a snapshot or recording of the time you’re recording

Video/audio quality of the cams is good and reliable.

2) the adapter cable where you plug the ethernet cable into the camera is unnecessarily bulky.

The 2tb drive is enough to have 6 days of recordings from these 4 cams, 1 ptz 4k cam and a doorbell cam.

Price

Extremely good for the price, no complaint.

I don't want to be paying $10 or whatever per month and having all of the video sitting on the cloud.

For $300 to get a complete system and no monthly fee, seems too good to be true.

For the money it's where it's at.

Packaging/appearance

I did buy a couple of extra 100 ft ethernet cables because i knew i was going to be placing a couple of cameras pretty far from... Read More

Competitiveness

Specs are way above most other brands, really enjoy this product.

I own a similar amcrest system and what i'm most surprised about the reolink system is.

-better price points then amcrest, especially given the reolink features especially on for add on cameras.
