Home Security Camera System, E1(2 Pack), Smart Human/Pet Detection

We more than one Reolink camera, and I have to note the quality on all of them is amazing. Crystal clear and the view range is excellent. When you purchase an NVR (kind of like a DVR), you get a full week of recordings that you can download to keep if you choose. We had two Ring cameras but disconnected the one (and someday soon, the other) because it functioned inconsistently. Getting connectivity on the disconnected one was frustrating. With Reolink, there is no monthly fee and I should note, we've had those cameras in excess of a year without any functionality issues. One is wireless while the others are connected via ethernet cables. The cameras I'm rating here are those we added to the NVR on which our original Reolinks were already recording. Really a great system.

The Reolink app we already had makes the setup easy. The pictures and videos are clear. We don’t need to worry about buying cloud storage; we can just use USB cards.

I bought this camera to keep an eye on my pets while I’m at work. The setup was fairly straightforward—I had it connected to my Wi-Fi and the Reolink app within about 15 minutes. The video quality is excellent, especially for the price. The 4MP resolution and night vision are clear, and the 360-degree pan is really smooth. Person and pet detection work well most of the time, and I get timely notifications on my phone. First, it only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, which is fine for me but could be a limitation for some. Second, the audio during two-way talk has a slight delay and sometimes echoes. Lastly, while the app is generally good, it can occasionally lag when switching between multiple cameras. Overall, though, this is a solid indoor security camera. Great value, reliable performance.

The cameras work fine with the Reolink app and were easy enough to add to the Reolink Cloud service that I purchased for the first pair of cameras I purchased. Unfortunately though, I purchased an Amazon Echo 15 to use as the primary device to access and view the cameras with. The Alexa app displays no Reolink access under the Security and Devices list. I’m unable to locate Alexa interface under Reolink or vice versa. I thought I had selected devices/systems that would interface and communicate with each other based on the information presented in the adds listing stating the would work with each other but as of now I am stuck with cameras I can only view on the Reolink app on my phone. If I am able to figure out how to use it how I had initially intended to through YouTube videos (no success yet), I will come back and update this review. Until then, three stars for stand alone Reolink app access is all that I can honestly give. I guess we just can’t have it all…… Oh and I have actually tried to use my 11am Fir Tablet and my brand spanking new 55” Fire TV to view these Reolink cameras via Alexa. UPDATE - Via continued searches and finally finding a solution to my set up issues, everything is now working properly. I stumbled upon a Reolink subreddit on Reddit and after reviewing the posts of other Reolink camera users who also use Alexa devices I was able to isolate and correct my set up issue. For those who may be having frustrating issues, this is the place to seek advice, help and answers and it will save you time flipping through poorly explained procedures as presented on YouTube. Also, on a final note, thank you Reolink for offering me a refund. Now that all is working as it is supposed to that will not be necessary.

I love these cameras. They work great for a very cheap price.

I use to love Reolink, but like this purchase, I find I am returning more and more of their products for the below same reasons One of the great features of Reolink was reliability, ease, redundance, consistency in set up – good scalability and great customer service; the force multiplier of Reolink. If you had an issue connecting to WIFI, it always came with an ethernet port as backup (which ALWAYS worked in getting you set up for WiFi). I returned this product for not having an Ethernet port and the wifi pseudo-AI / auto set up failing miserably - now common issue with Reolink It appears the tech team is no longer in the driver seat, but the marketing department - and thus the Reolink performance has degraded the last year. Instead of more Wifi Range, the real Achilles heel of the Reolink eco system, if seems to focusing on pseudo-AI voice instructions. To make their new camera’s look more modern, they hide the antennae, at the expense of WIFI range and also removing the ability to mitigate WiFI range problems with things like antennae boasters. To a potential buyer – I would suggest you look at older models of Reolink’s cameras only. They perform better, easier to set up, and are more scalable; not to mention Reolink NVR WIFI firmware currently has not been updated to interface with the newest cameras. To Reolink if you want to provide real value to Reolink customers, stop this sudo AI international marketing/packaging stuff you are doing - work on wifi range, the real Achilles heel of your eco systems. • Get your AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi Extender released (or at least scale your NVR so you can use third party extenders like Netgear) • Bring back your WiFi Antenna extenders, or better, release an improved version that increases range even more. • Stop hiding Antenna internally, which degrades their wifi range - if TP-Link and Netgear use external antennas, the is no tech excuse for you to not do so. • Before you release a new model, make sure your WiFi NVR (DVR/Router appliance) firmware supports it. • Go back to written instructions, (where each page was dedicated to one language, or YouTube channels that were dedicated to one language). Get rid of this marketing / new packaging effort of pseudo-AI set up in an unnecessary international “we are the world” packaging. Besides providing less information, a 3-sentence written instruction is now 15 sentence diatribe of foreign languages. Or at the very least, add the old option of “press 1 for English, press 2 for Spanish, press 3 for Korean, press 4 for Japanese……

My 2nd purchase. The camera works great. Records clear video. I recommend using a quality memory card. I can pan in different directions, you can speak through the camera (there is a delay). I do not recommend for outside use. Now if REOlink can just improve their app the entire system would be perfect.

I bought this camera to incorporate to Home Assistant and monitor my home while I’m away. The camera works well, has good video quality, and I like the fact that has the ability to pan the image. However, I will say, the pan controls are not very smooth (which makes it difficult to move the camera in tiny increments), which is a bummer. Another thing that I don’t like about this camera is that while it has a privacy mode, it is hidden down several menu layers, almost as if they didn’t want you to use this feature, or maybe the issue is that they added it only as an afterthought. In my honest opinion, privacy toggles should at least be front and center in the main display. What would have made this better is if there was a way to either program the privacy mode to be enabled as soon as you enter home, or else be enabled at a certain time of day certain days of the week. Unfortunately, neither of these seems to be available. Which leads me to another point. The app itself is not very polished. Honestly, this is not uncommon when it comes to these Chinese made cameras, however, given that many of them would love for you to use their cloud services for recording video, the least they could do is to improve the quality of their app interfaces. In conclusion, I like this camera: it works well, has decent features, I like that it can pan and has a feature to follow subjects once in detects movement, and I like that it USB-C powered. However, the app, privacy mode, and pan controls, leave quite a lot to be desired. Finally, I would’ve been happy paying a little bit more money if this camera also had the ability to be included in Apple Home. I was able to do it via Scrypted in Home Assistant, however, it was definitely not plug-and-play.

Muy practico

This camera is great, It's very easy to set up and download the reolink app to connect to. Connects to wifi and bluetooth. The night vision is great and I can set the sensitivity just enough to register people and pets but not a tree blowing in the wind. Just make sure you buy a good SD card not a cheap one. I live in an apartment so this works great not having to hard wire anything and I can move it from room to room if I need too.

This is really good worth moe than a price

I’m very impressed with this camera! The picture quality is truly up to the mark – crystal clear, sharp, and vibrant. One of the best parts is how easy it was to install and set up. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality, hassle-free camera. Great value for money! -MOHIT ✌️

Très efficace pour l'intérieur et très bonne qualité d'image. Parfait pour la surveillance à petit prix.
