Pros & Cons
Pros
The camera is a full pan & tilt capable which is nice to keep track of our pup as he moves around. The night vision is very good even at 20 feet or so. The pan and tilt option is also a great option, sound is good. I love it it can till and zoom i... Read More
Reolink app is easy to install and you can monitor all devices on the app. It is a little tricky setting up for synology but not at all hard.
Camera works great and i feel a heck of a lot safer. Easy to position in a discreet corner of a room. I have a camera in each chicken coop, and they work great.
This camera is an excellent deal. It's a decent price and i set it up quickly on my lunch break. The customer service is incredible.
Cons
Two of these cameras are inaccessible in the app many times in a given day. There's just no excuse for a setup process to be as outrageously annoying. You power it on and it literally screams at you to scan a qr code.
There is no focus on the model, so it is a flaw. The build quality of the camera is just ok, there was a wear-down of the plastic housing seeming like something had rubbed on it causing the very noticeable blemish.
Highlights
Quality
Good video quality especially on night vision.
I love the app interface, it’s user friendly and i like the fact you have full access on the camera features without using a laptop.
The actual design makes that if transformer breaks, the camera becomes useless.
Except the card is so hard to remove that the frustration is just not worth it.
Price
I purchased directly from reolink as they had a black friday sale where this camera was only $40.
Very well priced but you have to buy an sd card which is required.
This camera is worth the money and it wasn't easy setup.
Shipping
I had a question and it was quickly answered by their support team.
It took sometime to get the camera and networked linked.
Competitiveness
Well this camera does not have http whereas the e1 zoom does as do most of the reolink cameras.
I have used 2 other brands of similar cameras over the last few months that were easy to swap out the card.
