Reolink5MP PoE Security Camera Outdoor with Human/Vehicle Detection, IP66 Weatherproof, Audio Recording, RLC-520A Black

I think this is a good quality camera with POE, easy to setup and good night vision. It is installed in my garage and is perfect for the job.

Quality of image is good. Integrates with Milestone Xprotect as an onvif device without any issues.

The image quality and sound on this camera are great. It integrates well with Frigate & Home Assistant, and I really appreciate that you're not tied into a subscription / paid service.I bought 2 of these in Sept 24, installed on the house eaves (so partially sheltered).One of the units stopped working, which I attributed to recent freezing weather thawing.I disassembled the camera, dried it with a hot air rework gun on low and tried again: Great, now working!I've applied a conformal coating to the PCB, which I expect to prevent condensation causing trouble in the future.I think I just got unlucky with that one camera. There is a good rubber seal and 3 silica gel packs inside to keep things dry, but somehow this failed on mine.Edited:Reolink were very proactive in following up and have offered a replacement camera. This was unexpected, and I have to commend their customer service. Given the quality of the camera and service when things go wrong, I would happily recommend the camera.

doing the job nicely!!!! gr8 picture! even on zoom the quality is good! on far zoom the quality gos but to get gen info from the pic its good.. i just wish they made the 12MP in black as well!! i would buy them & add to my system..

Absolutely useles it just spins mounted on a wall , the only thing to hold the camera in place is the cable. Normally these orb camera have a threaded frame that will tighten and clamp in place.

After a security incident, I needed a security camera I could use without the need of a NVR or subscription service. With some additional IT infrastructure and applications, I can view such sensitive areas with the Reolink anywhere

The good: The camera is easy to set up once plugged in, there is an app that connects quickly and I have set it up to be used with an open source NVR software so you do not have to use the app. It has RTSP feeds and can use HTTPS. The picture is good and sound quality as you would expect for this type of camera. It looks smart too, very neat on the front of the house! It is very easy to get it pointing where you want it.The meh: The physical mounting is okay, the connectors are so large they required a 22mm hole drilled to get them inside the wall as I do not want external connections or junction boxes on the outside of the building. Once you have drilled an enormous hole, the cable only just makes it through a standard UK cavity wall (about 30cm).The worst: The bit that annoyed me the most is there is no way of locking the camera on to the fixing or locking the position! Now I know these things are never indestructable and anyone with either brute force or basic tools can manouver or remove them but normally they at least have something like a hex bolt or screws to hold it where you have put it. This one only clips on to the mount, so can be taken off with your bare hands. It also can be moved around and pointed in any direction without any tools or force. If the camera is low enough then anyone can do this without force or tools. If it was mounted high up this might not be a problem but even a single story eve is within reach of someone who is average hiegh on tiptoes. I will need more cameras in the future and will likely look at other brands because of this as for decent footage they should never be mounted too high anyway.

Took a little setting up as my POE power supply (injector) was a little low on power, worked fine with normal POE switch. Plus the firmware needed updating to work properly with my surveillance software but support were great and I was all fixed in no time.
