REOLINK 4K Dual-Lens Floodlight Security Camera, Outdoor PoE IP Camera with 180° Ultra-Wide Angle, 1800 Lumen Floodlight, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Two Way Talk, Waterproof, Duo Floodlight PoE

When shopping for a POE security camera, I was looking for a one which has wide range of integrations. Being a Home assistant user for years, Reolink name was not unknown to me. The price vs features are appealing.One camera that covers 180 degreePOEGreat flood lightExcellent NVR integrationVery acceptable picture qualityHave been using for few months and I have very positive experience so far. One of the cameras stopped working ( flood light ), the replacement process was very smooth.Where it can improve with software updates:Better AI detection. Ring cameras have better AI.Needs better integration with Google.Mobile notifications needs to have image/ video preview. This is something very important and I hope Reolink will update their software soon.

Purchased this mainly for the flood light but the camera quality is pretty good for what it is. I haven’t had any issues with it such as lag and it provides a good value for the money.

excellent

Two months with the camera and it has been working great thus far. The floodlights are bright and turn on as soon as the camera detects movement from cars, people, or animals. The video quality is great with the dual cameras which allow for a wider view.

They are POE making it very easy to replace old non-POE cameras. 1 Camera has a slightly Faded left side. Both cameras on the unit work find. But you see the color Difference on the NVR. It states that the camera is 4k, but if you start zooming in to a specific area, The picture and Video get pixelated like my 1080p GeoVision Fisheye cam did. I Suspect the 4 k is 2k per Lense. This is not why I give it 4 stars. It is only because of the 1 unit i have where the left site is at a brighter contrast. and i fear It might be defective. I will Monitor it and do a Video Review, then in 6 months will do a follow-up review. Now for the great stuff. I did have only 1 PTZ 4k camera and it stated it had color night Vision. It partly works, but the area is too dark. the Infared is excellent and can see across the street clearly in pitch black. When i hooked up Both Rio link with floodlight POE cameras. I found them both to be about the same quality in the gray scale quality. I give that a 10 out of 10. The motion sensors i found can be adjusted to how far away you want motion detection monitored. In my case when I go outside to the car. Both of the cameras one on each side of the front of the house detects my movement and turns on all the flood lights Its great because i can now see, and on the NVR, it now shows the Video as though it was daylight outside and all 3 cameras go into full color mode. The Camera flood lights also can have the duration set from 30 seconds to continuous on. or dusk to dawn. again a 10 out of 10. Now here is my best part. The POE switch and all the Cameras run off the Eco flow ULTRA Pro will run the Cameras and have a power draw so small you don't even notice it is using any battery. Even the flood lights use little power. but are very bright. again a 10 out of 10 on the design. Well worth the money. But i am concerned on one of the units again. because of the contrast looking like it might go out on me. ATM thought I am happy with both units. At the moment I do not know the warranty information on the units if one goes out on me. check that before purchasing the units.

First off, you need an 802.3at (PoE++) switch to run the camera and floodlight. None of my Unifi switches would put out enough juice, so I had to get a separate power injector. Both image and video quality are fantastic, and it couples well to the reolink NVR. It can also stream to Unifi (or other DVR systems) using onvif.Installation was pretty easy. Note that the hanging bracket is a snug fit, so you might need to massage it into place just a little. I haven't quite figured out the alarm settings yet, but the IR, daylight and floodlight picture quality are all exceptional.If, like me, you're hooking this into a reolink NVR which is on your network, but you're not connecting it directly be warned: You will have to configure the IP stream using a mouse and a monitor directly connected to the NVR.The reolink phone app is free, and pretty effective. No subscription fee is required, and you'll be able to view your cameras remotely.I have not tested recording to sdcard.I replaced a regular motion sensing floodlight with this unit, and while the floodlight isn't quite as bright, the IR is so good I really don't care.
