The camera was great, the quick start instructions were terrible.I had trouble getting it set up but I finally figured out what to do. I used the Windows app to set up the camera, and it told me to input the UID. I didn't know what this was and where to find the UID. The instructions didn't tell me. I used Microsoft Copilot AI and it told me where to find the UID; it said it would be on the bottom of the camera and that the UID code would start with 9527, and sure enough it was there. Again no mention of this in the instructions or on the app.Another problem was that the device failed to connect to the wifi. So this required pushing a reset button with a special tool, that resembles a needle with plastic handle on the end, that you insert into a hole on the camera to do this. It took a bit of handling and moving the camera around on it's base to locate the hole.The instructions mentioned very little of this, but there were diagrams showing the parts included and one showing where things were on the camera body.After pushing the reset button I was finally able to get it to connect to my wifi, and it can connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wifi. The windows app tells you to enter the information for the wifi, but the field for the SSID of the network didn't specifiy that it wanted the SSID, it just said WiFi and then password below it. So once I entered ther SSID (which is the name of the wifi network) and the passcode, it connected ok.I noticed an item on the app called calibration and that adjusted the orientation of the camera and did some other calibration steps moving the camera to it's limits in pan and tilt.So apart from the quick start instructions being poor, the camera does work very well, and the picture quality is excellent. Given the low cost for such a high quality piece of tech, it's an outstanding value. The app controls the camera very well in pan and tilt. To zoom in or out, you use the scroll wheel on the mouse. When zoomed in on something, you can move the zoomed in area around using the mouse. If you double click the image in the app, it will go to a screen that can show multiple cameras at the same time. So if I decide to add more cameras later, I can view them all in one place at the same time, or cycle through each camera sequentially.Many brands of security cameras require an internet connection in order to work, and I find that extremely limiting especially when my internet connection goes out. Also those brands that require an internet connection tend take a lot longer to connect to the camera. The Reolink cameras can connect to the Reolink web site, but this is optional and not required to use the camera. Consequently, the Reolink camera connects very quickly like in about one second or less.If it wasn't for the poor startup instructions I would give this camera 5 stars easily. It's a great buy. If you decide to get one, hopefully my comments here will help you get started with it.
Works brilliantly. Alarms can be viewed on your phone. Easy set up and easy to use.
Completely impressed, uses wifi, clear image, live viewing from anywhere as long as wifi signal is available, we use it as a driveway announcer also, let's one know if the motion detected was a vehicle, person, or animal. Has been in operation for a few months now even past minus 20 degrees Celsius, always maintains battery via solar as it is in a remote location. No more surprise visits picks up the motion every time. Even if the wifi signal is lost, it will still record events to the SD card, which can be viewed once the wifi signal has been restored. Would recommend easy to setup as well. Nice app functionality.
I have tried using REO link for the last 6 years. Thinking their products would improve. They havent. I would highly suggest RING or another maker of camera. I have 9 of their cameras here at my office and theyre CONSTANTLY not loading or buffering way too long, not motion sensing, dying, solar power not working, SD card insert and removal is impossible. Chinese, probably spying on you, not sure but dont buy. I uploaded a video of a camera I purchased in July. Not even 6 months old. And it wont operate or work. Stored outdoors and used right out front. Worked for about a week and then I never got around to figuring out why. I pulled it down today and filmed you all a video to show you that it just stopped working like 5 of my 9. Just no power, wont charge. Wont turn on. Nada.
Very reliable with solar power unit that keeps camera charged. The unit provides great quality photos or videos with the ability to set capture sensitivity for more reliable detection. Additionally the camera motion detection can be scheduled so that you can control when motion is detected and notifications are sent. They can be sent email with a video or photo. Length of video recording can also be selected. I find these cameras very reliable, very useful and flexible to detect movement where, when and how much you need to get the most benefit. Additional the units record to SD storage that can be accessed to view recordings or erased if they get full over time. They allow the user to control the recordings and a subscription isn’t required.
I own several of these cameras. The camera view quality and ease of installation in locations without power is superb. These cameras work perfectly, even in partially shaded areas. I have several mounted on mostly shaded tree trunks! The functionality and features are amazing as well. Time lapse is probably my favorite feature.I have owned Reolink cameras for years because they were the first solar operated cameras I found. I have at least two solar models that are eight years old in a Caribbean island location and still operating on the original batteries!I had an issue where a camera was not functioning out of the box. To say Reolink was responsive is not giving them enough credit. They literally bent over backwards to accommodate my crazy foreign location and schedule to return the camera for a warranty credit. I highly recommend these cameras for their quality, and for their quality customer support!
La imagen de la cámara es muy buena, es facil de instalar y configurar, la app no tiene anuncios molestos lo que le da un plus, sin embargo mi cámara luego de algunos meses trabajando bien quedó solo con un led en rojo y dejo de transmitir video, contacte a soporte de Reolink y me ayudaron a realizar pruebas pero ninguna funcionó por lo que para aplicar la garantía me piden contactar al vendedor pero ha sido un problema ya que desde Amazon no hay una opción directa, solo una de un chat bot que me dice que no puede ayudarme a contactarlo. Necesito que alguien de Amazon pueda revisar el tema y llegar a una solución.
الكاميرا ممتازة لكن مشاكلها جدا كثيرة بداية من عدم فعالية الشحن باللوح الشمسي وبالتالي انتهاء الشحن ونهاية بانقطاع الاتصال بالإنترنت المتكرر رغم قرب رواتر الانترنت من الكاميرا والذي لا يتعدى المتر !! وبالتالي فالكاميرا غير عملية وعديمة الجدوى وفوق هذا كله البائع غير متعاون وخدمة مابعد البيع غير محترفة وغير متعاونة .. رفضوا ارجاع الكاميرا بدعوى وجودهم في الولايات المتحدة وبعد المسافة وادعاء انتهاء وقت الارجاع وهذا غير صحيح .. اكتب هذا التقييم توضيحا لتجربتي مع البائع والكاميرا حتى يستفيد غيري ...
Es una súper cámara la resolución es magnífica
Researched cameras for weeks and selected these. Very happy with quality, ease of installation, and operation. Would recommend and purchase again.
