Reolink 12MP CCTV Camera Systems, 8CH NVR with 2TB HDD, RLK8-1200B4-A | 4pcs 12MP PoE Security Cameras Outdoor with Human/Vehicle/Animal Detection, Color Night Vision, 24/7 Recording, 2-Way Audio

Set up was super easy. POE works very well. Depending on the size of your house or building you’re putting these on, you may need longer wires than the 18m provided. Picture quality is very good, some detail is lost the further away you get but that’s expected from digital cams. Great detail for these to be worth the money but you’re not going to be able to read a vehicle reg more than maybe 25m from the camera (probably less at night). Notifications are instant. You can set the system up to email you with a video snippet when people or vehicles are detected. Which is useful as an offsite backup should anything happen. FTP was not as straightforward to setup but got there in the end. The internal storage is small, 2TB won’t last long if you are using 4 or more cameras on the NVR. So you will need to upgrade the storage. Adding external storage was difficult as these use eSATA cables to connect to the external HDD. Only compatible ones I could find were on Amazon.de but they were reasonably priced, they just took a few weeks for delivery. If you’re upgrading the storage, it’s an extra cost for cameras that are already quite expensive. The app seems to have improved and you can control the cameras and settings pretty well without needing to access via a computer. The cameras can record 24/7 or you can set a schedule. Same for notifications, and these can be camera specific or for every camera. You can record sound but it’s just going to use more space on the hard drive so I stick to just video so cannot comment on the sound quality. The cameras also come with spotlights, siren, and night vision. Spotlights are very good, night vision very good (colour night vision is good too if there is enough light), sirens… unless you’re stood next to the camera then I’m not sure you’d know they were going off! But a nice idea. I did a lot of research before buying and relied on a lot of reviews and YouTube videos to decide which system to pick. So, would I recommend, yes. I bought 2 systems and very happy with them along with some other Reolink add on PTZ cams. Been up a couple of months and still impressed. These work for me and my needs but there was a lot of added cost to get to the system I ended up with. Still 5 stars though.

Fantastic system.12 megapixel cameras supply a quality image.Solid alloy housings,all connections are on a flylead.The camera spotlight is a quality feature also with two way audio.All this with extensive control via the Reolink App.Ethernet cables supplied are great and the control unit comes with a spare HDD bay to take a 6tb drive,SATA and power cables already in place.Cameras are reassuringly heavy,great mounting guides and onboard SD card slots taking 256gb cards.Complete with a mouse and front and rear usb socket,the nvr detected the cameras right away. User interface is easy to understand and loads of user adjustable settings.

Apart from running cables this is simplicity itself. Mine is stripped and fitted into a lockable cupboard! Video quality isn't the greatest, for instance you can't read number plates and people are a bit non-descript. So as a "home" system it is just okay. The system has a few gadgets like spot lights or people sensors, I doubt most will use them. The sensors for instance will drive you mad because you will keep walking in front of them!

The night vision is excellent and clear for further than I expected. The front area of my house is insanely dark given that the council have left us just one single lamp at the far end of our terrace, that was installed in the 1950s which is essentially a downward spotlight. This camera system allows me to see detail on infrared in virtually pitch black, that I would see with regular lighting at a good distance (two houses away). We recently had a severe concentration of antisocial behaviour that required footage to be used to deal with it and I so wish I had these cameras back then, as what we did have wasn't anywhere near as good or detailed as this. The motion detection is very accurate, giving me zero false activations so far after a few days of using it. It's also accurate in determining what type of motion such as vehicle, person, pet or other. I had another camera system recently that regularly activated and told me there was movement when there clearly wasn't, but this in contrast is fantastic. One feature I didn't expect but love is when you look at the 24 hours and you can choose what type of detection you want to see, for example, people. And it will play every single human it detects like a montage from that day. The lights are good, illuminating a good amount of the area so that you can get colour footage instead of the infrared black and white that makes everyone look like an alien and hard to identify. The audio is amazing, capturing much detail without hissing or buzzing like our old system had, especially when you had to turn up the volume to work out what was going on. I'm so impressed with the quality and clarity of the sound that comes through. It picks up sounds from quite far without losing clarity or being distorted. The app that accompanies it is excellent, not glitchy like some I've used before. There are lots of good features that help you adjust the cameras to suit you. The playback is great and you can download and/or play the videos that are saved through motion detection on it. The field of vision is good, as I needed two cameras previously to do what one of these cameras does now. This does mean that you lose a little clarity when you zoom in on things at a distance but honestly it doesn't bother me that much as all the other benefits outweigh this small downside. I bought this camera system with a decent voucher so it was a fair bit cheaper than the original asking price, but it's still very good value for money. I would happily recommend this camera system to anyone looking to protect their home or increase their safety. I'm really happy that I chose this system. I was unsure at first that it would be right for me but I have zero regrets other than I wish I'd bought one sooner.

Having installed quite a few CCTV systems for others, this is the second Reolink system I have installed and it won't be the last. The cameras are excellent quality, usually from 8MP upwards. This recent installation was on a 12MP and my word, what an improvement. Really makes a difference on the night vision. The software is easy so use (both PC and Mobile App), with the choice of many options to configure if desired. The playback is one of the best I've used. This brand is a true competitor in the market with a much more affordable price tag.

After buying this product, I call professional to install paid £480 installation fee over £600 for this product . Camera’s work fine for one week and then died. This is really bad quality product. You will not recommend to anyone. I lost over £1000.

These camera's and hard drive a re really good. So easy to setup, and much better that they are all conncected to the hard drive via ethernet cables as quality is much better. Also, no additional power cables. So far they have been brilliant. I never had heard of Reolink before seeing here on Amazon and so far I am impressed with the quality. Obviously there is a little bit of tweaking it when you 1st set it up but the instructions are good. The application both on TV and via the APP are very easy to use and have quite a lot of different options, and being able to access the cameras and recordings 24/7 is excellent. If you want a good system, that's easy, intuitive and good quality go for this. For the price, you get a lot in the package - well worth. I feel safe knowing I have these installed and recording 24 hours a day.

Would highly recommend on all aspects. Camera comes with sensor flood lights, 2 way audio turn off sensors for animals and only leave human recognition. Ease of use for even the dimmest. Had it professionally installed.

Ik heb het Reolink 12MP PoE-beveiligingscamerasysteem met 4 x 12 MP IP-camera's besteld tijdens het Prime Day-evenement van Amazon. De digitale recorder (NVR) is compact en ontworpen om meer camera's en harde schijven mee te nemen. Na het systeem een tijdje te hebben getest, kan ik bevestigen dat de videokwaliteit uitzonderlijk is, het beeld zowel overdag als's nachts helder en stabiel is. Omdat het een POE-systeem is, is de bedrading eenvoudig en duidelijk, aangezien er slechts één meegeleverde kabel tussen elke camera en de NVR hoeft te worden geplaatst. Ik ben over het algemeen tevreden over het bewakingssysteem. Alles rondom ons huis is nu in één oogopslag te zien onder Camera! Geweldige kwaliteit

Le produit est fourni avec tout ce qu'il faut - enregistreur - 4 caméras 12MPIX - câble ethernet La qualité est bonne (pas excellente), le soir la résilution se dégrade un peu. La dynalique n'est pas non plus la meilleure, on ne sait pas lire une plaque le soir car la caméra est éblouie par l'éclairage IR. Toutefois, le produit est bon pour un usage personnel, compte tenu aussi de l'investissement qu'il représente.
