Reolink 5MP Super HD Plug-in WiFi Camera with Pan Tilt Zoom/Motion Alerts

I purchased 2 of these 1 in white and 1 in black, because Amazon's coupons limited the sale purchase of 1 per customer, but the colors are different SKUs. I immediately noticed the lack of delay that I had experienced with Eufy, and Arlo. I would say there is about 1.3~ second delay. Which I promise is more than adequate. I remember getting an alert on my Eufy doorbell, clicking the notification, waiting on it to load, having whoever pressed it literally leaving, and if I tried to chat with them I could hear it 5+ seconds later, which is far too much to have a conversation, and rendered the whole thing useless. These cameras load quick and are quite good quality, you DO NOT need 4k in the house for almost anything I would say, these are very high quality 1080p. The 3x zoom is awesome and makes them much more versatile, and the auto focus is seriously good. I only wish there was more zoom, but that's a non issue. The app is great and let's you set up multiple preset areas to move the cameras to. Both of these use around 4.2Mbps according to the app, most people won't worry about it, but if you have a less stable or slower internet setup maybe sticking with the wired or local non wifi. Very good, convinced me to use their other products, and these are supposedly not even what Reolink is known for, which is regular security cameras with incredible price to performance.

The primary function I have for this camera is baby monitoring through Xeoma. I gotta say, especially for the price, this camera works well, at least once you have it dialed in. I started off with the slightly cheaper version, but found it wasn't quite doing what I needed.The pros of this camera you just won't find anywhere else for this price are:1. Fairly high resolution.2. Full PTZ functions for both movement and zooming.3. Colors are really good.4. Clarity is really good.5. Onvif compliant.6. Two way audio.7. Works well over WiFi.If you are curious what this has gotten me over the slightly cheaper version more exactly:1. Slightly bigger.2. Zoom. This is actually quite a significant feature.3. Slower response to switch between day and night mode. Actually where this is mounted in the house and with it zoomed all the way in, it is almost always in night mode, which is adequate for the need it is serving.4. Speaker for two way communication seems slightly louder.The big reason why I really wanted this camera over the cheaper version was from my cell phone it could be hard to tell if the baby's eyes were open. Sometimes he thrashes around some while sleeping, but if his eyes open, that means he is awake and I need to attend to him. However if his eyes are closed, he usually settles down and all is good for a while longer. (It seems he is dreaming a fair amount.) Xeoma allows doing a digital zoom, but an optical is much better as it can be hard to use the zoom feature right on the go. The digital zoom is really best for stationary use. Actually using a combination of optical zoom and digital zoom as the optical is good enough to have the whole crib in view and not much else while I use the digital zoom to have the baby fill the viewing area in the subsection of the crib he is in. The clarity of this combination is very good and I am able to either see if his eyes are open from a cell phone or a reasonably sized window on my desktop monitors so I can have everything up on my screens at once as I work from home.While everything is working good enough for baby monitoring so far after some tweaking of settings, it has taken some fiddling to get it to work right. For one I made sure to select TCP transport as all of this goes over WiFi. If you set / default to UDP, things will look really bad as packets will get lost and there is no way around that with WiFi except for using a TCP transport. Second I needed to turn on the back light mode when zoomed in or else the picture would be way under exposed. However these options are there, so then it was just a matter of using the motorized movement of the camera while on its mounting point to point it at the crib and zoom in. At this the wide angle on this camera is wider than the cheaper model and the aspect ratio is more squarish. This makes the optical only zoom not quite what I had hoped for, but it is good enough to see if the baby's eyes are open without having to use the digital zoom in Xeoma. As for digital zooming, it looks a lot more crisp with this camera than the cheaper version, so yeah, see every detail up close. The mic on both of these cameras is a bit lack luster, but I can make out the louder sounds the baby makes, which is enough to know if the baby needs immediate attention even if my wife has the more traditional baby monitor instead of it being with me. Really having the traditional baby monitor around is really useful as it picks up everything, so I can be deep in work and hear every little stir the baby makes and am well aware when it is time to say set up for feeding where with the camera audio alone I have to keep a close eye on the video feed to pick up hints it is getting time to do something for the baby. Really the audio on this camera is more of if the baby needs attention right now, that is when you finally hear something. Also with two way, Xeoma does not support audio in the other direction, so have to fire up the Reolink app. The two way audio deal is more of something my wife likes to use anyway where I just go into the room and do if something needs to happen.I really kind of wish I could wire this in, especially as it is mounted right next to an Ethernet switch optimized for video traffic, but sadly I can't. At least this place is heavily wired in now, I have multiple WiFi APs to provide great WiFi coverage, and I can use a TCP transport for this camera, so it should work reliably and so far has.

Hello,I purchased this camera approximately one week ago. I don't know if something happened in transit but I noticed the PTZ function did not work going up and down (but left and right was fine), so I ended up replacing the device. The new camera works flawlessly and setup was quite easy. This device has the option for PoE or Wi-Fi, so I have opted for the Wi-Fi option with no notable issues. As I have only had the device approximately one week I will likely update the review if applicable.If I had any complaints about this camera it would be the location of the micro sd slot. For this you need to have the camera looking all the way up as the slot is placed at the very bottom. As someone with large hands accessing the slot and placing the micro sd in was quite difficult given the amount of space. Personally I would rather have the ability to access the rear of the camera through a small door, or the bottom of the camera (somewhere more convenient with more access). The other complaint would be the maximum storage set to 256gb, I would prefer having the ability to make this 512 or 1TB in the future, but it is not the end of the world.So far the camera looks great and the video quality is quite good, The application is user-friendly and gives you options to change video quality along with a few other things. If you want a decent 4k security camera for your home I would recommend this product. Like and subscribe for more! Consider becoming a Patreon and whatever else YouTubers say.

Have used several other Reolink cameras in the past... This is the first indoor camera though. It did take a little while to figure out where to put the SD card into the camera; However, reading the instructions helped solve that (moving the canara via PTZ controls to the up position is the key). Worked great with a fast name brand 256GB Micro SD card.Camera and sound quality are great and the software setup was very easy to get the camera added and it's options set (email and app notifications) plus recording resolution and sensitivity.Night Vision via IR is excellent and there's really good smooth movement with either the automatic tracking or manual PTZ controls.As always make sure you change the password to a decently complex one. Great value camera over all.
