REOLINK 12MP Security Camera System Commercial, 8pcs H.265 12MP PoE Security Cameras Outdoor, Person Vehicle Pet Detection, Spotlight Color Night Vision, 16CH NVR 4TB HDD, RLK16-1200B8-A

Thirty-day review.The system arrived in a reasonable time in perfect condition. The video quality is impressive. The range of detection is far greater than I expected. My shop is approximately 150 feet from my house and the quality of the video at that range is very good. The motion detection in so far as vehicle and person detection picks up vehicles before they're backed completely out of the shop. The spotlight function works along with the motion detection system. They're brighter than I was expecting. There is definitely a period of adjustment. I'm still fine-tuning non-detection zones to eliminate false and unwanted triggers such as traffic on the road. I expect that this is true of any system. The secret for the IR night vision seems to be ensuring that the cameras are pointed away from nearby sources of reflection. Again, expect a period of fine-tuning. The Reolink system provides all of the tools needed to make said adjustments and with a little patience is easily navigated. I have recommended system to friends and do so to you.

This is an outstanding system. Simple install - just run ethernet cable and the system will automatically recognize the cameras the moment you plug them in. 12MB video quality is outstanding, particularly when viewed on a 4K monitor. Very intuitive interface such that I found myself customizing the system without having to refer to a manual. I especially like the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the camera alert system, as well as having the motion sensitive flood lighting and alarm - which you can customize to only go off on certain cameras and at certain times of the day. The wired mouse that comes with the system is not the highest quality, but I simply replaced it with a wireless PC mouse I had sitting around the house and it works flawlessly. The phone app works well and I had no difficulty setting it up or pairing it with the system. It allows me to view the video streams remotely, or for that matter, listen or speak to someone via the cameras. An all-around outstanding product that doesn't require a paid subscription. For advanced security use, you can save your own incident videos to your own server storage / cloud space for an added layer of protection. I highly recommend this system!

Easy plug and play set up. Very good picture quality even at night. Color night vision is nice but I don't mind monochrome for several of my cameras where I would prefer the spot lights not to come on and it was simple to turn down the sensors for those cameras. Menu is basic and easy to use. I have a mixture of cameras with different resolutions and the all have good quality. 12MP, 8MP and 5MP currently with a 4K monitor. Easy to connect with the mobile app as well. The AI motion sensors for human, vehicle and animals take a bit of configuring to get them to work the way you want them to. Over all I would recommend this system to friends.

I absolutely love this new security camera system! I installed using TrueCable CAT6A cabling, the wiring is very stiff so if you use this I recommend you get one of the wire straighteners off here as well. The image quality at 12MP is incredible. If you really want to see the true clarity make sure you are using a 4K monitor or TV. Since I wanted to locate the NVR in a different location than my incoming camera feeds, I installed a ReoLink 8 port PoE switch for the cameras to connect to then the NVR connects to the PoE Switch, no cameras directly connect to the NVR this way so I only needed one cable running to the NVR location.Installation and setup was easy, camera auto connected. A few simple configurations for sensitivity and alarms and it’s good to go.TrueCable CAT6A Cabling:Using TrueCable CAT6A cabling is a smart choice. CAT6A cables offer high-speed data transmission and are suitable for both large corporations and homeowners. They support speeds up to 10 Gigabit and have a bandwidth of up to 750 MHzAd1.The stiffness of the wiring can be a challenge, but it’s great that you recommend using wire straighteners to manage it effectively.Image Quality and Resolution:The 12MP image quality is impressive! Higher resolution allows for clearer details, especially when monitoring areas with critical security needs.You’re absolutely right about using a 4K monitor or TV to fully appreciate the clarity. The increased pixel density enhances visibility.NVR Placement and ReoLink 8-Port PoE Switch:Locating the NVR separately from the camera feeds is a strategic move. It provides flexibility and ensures optimal placement.The ReoLink 8-port PoE switch is an excellent addition. It simplifies cable management and allows all cameras to connect to a central point. Plus, it eliminates the need for direct camera-NVR connections.With this setup, you only need one cable running to the NVR location, streamlining installation.Easy Installation and Configuration:It’s fantastic that the camera auto-connected! Simplified setup is crucial for users.Configuring sensitivity and alarms ensures that the system responds appropriately to events while minimizing false alerts.
