Pros & Cons

Pros

This is a relatively inexpensive but good camera. Night vision is incredible and the camera switches to it automatically. Good bright daytime pictures and ir pictures.

The initial setup instructions, a bit hazy, but not complicated. Loved the easy setup using qr code for my phone and ipad. Requires no subscriptions and runs great. Not bad considering i'm still honeymooning with the device.

Quality is reasonable, the rechargeable battery lasts a while. The batteries hold a charge for months and can quickly be recharged using a usb cable and charger. The wifi reception is very good, by the way.

After a few months, the product has this major flaw when it comes to the quality of its ports for charging. There's nothing left in the tank, and there is no evident way to recharge it. Then spent another hour installing the solar panel.

It won't even send email notifications to a local server. Very frustrated and can't find way to contact seller. Contacted seller and haven't had the courtesy of a reply.

Without internet access, these cameras are basically worthless. There is no way to set up different users under one reolink account. Loop recording will auto delete footage as the sd fills up but why not just enable user to delete that same data you c...  Read More

I have multiple cameras - very easy to set up and i like the quality


I like the quality of cam view.


Just install it with the other one i had and it worked great and it’s with 2.


That's ok though because it is connected to the reolink phone app along with the other 6 cameras.

Price


Quality is reasonable, the rechargeable battery lasts a while, the app works great, no wi-fi connection problems, and the price is right.

Competitiveness


I am very happy with reolink products, they worked perfectly and the support is great!


I have four different reolink cameras around the house and they work very well.


I will update if this one failsthis is the second reolink camera i’ve had that the charging port stopped working.


Update- reolink reached out and sent another camera.
