ReolinRLK8-800B4 Smart PoE Camera System

It’s been over 1 year since I installed this system and I couldn’t be happier with it. In all that time, it’s been switched on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and it hasn’t missed a beat. It hasn’t crashed once, it’s never needed to be manually rebooted or switched on and off, it’s just worked seamlessly and quietly in the background. I am on the highest settings for the video on all 4 cameras and the recording time is about 8 days before it starts to record over the oldest footage. If you need to save footage it’s super easy via the app on your phone to save it direct to your mobile or you can plug a USB memory stick into the DVR which I haven’t done yet as it’s just so easy on the mobile app. The App is well supported and over the past year it has had regular updates to fix any bugs and provide various enhancements to the App. The police have review footage from my system twice now and on both times they couldn’t believe how good the quality was and asked me what the system was. **Below is my original review** This is a real plug and play system. The hard part if any is concealing the network cables but that would be the same with any PoE system. I was initially apprehensive about buying this because it was only available in bullet style and Reolinks own images of the camera superimposed onto a house look massive but in reality they are actually quite small. The picture quality is great, good volume from the microphone and night vision is good although you do lose some detail. An installation tip for when positioning the cameras, for example if you have it facing along a part of your house, make sure it’s facing out enough from the brickwork of your house otherwise at night the IR will overexpose the footage because it bounces of the brick/house at close range.

Looked at various cctv products, helped putting up another popular system for my sister, didn't like that at all. Settled on reolink. Been up about 2weeks now, it has already captured what was required, thanks to the 8mp camera I was able to zoom in to the very edge of the captured footage and still have some clarity, this was in the dark with ir turned off. Quality of cameras is good, I had no issues with any of the supplied cables, I read one review saying they were poor and you couldn't put them through walls or tight spaces, these are internal network cables, I taped the ends up to protect the plugs and managed to run them all no problem, all worked first time. The nvr was easy to set up, I didn't need to refer to the instructions it's all straight forward, only stupid thing I did was contact support about the use of a USB hub as I had read another review saying it only had 1 USB, it has 2, one on the front 1 on the rear, that was my fault for not looking at the instructions, crystal from support emailed the next morning with a nice pic of the locations of USB ports, so I now know support is there if needed. Nvr is very quiet in operation, app works fine, Windows client is great and can access everything needed. I would buy this again, very pleased with it.

Bought this to replace an old Swann 4 camera system. I bought an extra camera making 5 cameras, It was easy enough to set up which is as well because the instructions leave a lot to be desired, biggest job is running the wires around the house. As it was a replacement, we used the same holes making it a bit easier. The kit comes with four additional cable plugs, I used these to shorten some of the cables. The "fitted" plugs don't fit into the weatherproof plug covers so I trimmed off the the ribs from the back of the plugs so they fit. Picture quality during the day is great, as it should be with 8mp cameras. The cameras have a 4X digital zoom but you can't zoom in on a recorded picture. Unlikely you would be zooming in when the system is recording but you would want to be able to zoom in on the recorded picture but can't. Night pictures are ok but you would be hard pressed to get a positive I/D on a thief. I found that the cameras are a narrower field of view than the old ones so you may need more cameras. All in all, it is a very good system with few drawbacks.

So, firstly I don't usually write reviews (not proud of that!). I did loads of research for types of camera, system etc. and arrived at this one. The kit seems robust, well made and the output quality (4K) is extremely impressive. The software (Windows client and Android app in my case) installed easily, and works fine. It's free for life. After 9 months of use, and the mother of storms one of the cameras became misty. I notified them, and immediately they contacted Amazon and shipped me a new camera within around 3 days. Incredible service. I will protect the new camera a little better, but perhaps there was a faulty seal etc.. The others are fine but they are located under the soffits. The documentation is not great, but the email support is virtually instant. The website is also very good for set up etc.. Slight downside is no fast forward on playback, but you can skip through selecting different times etc.. I guess the whole purpose is that if you had an incident, you could locate evidence (as well as being preventive of course). I upgraded my hard drive easily to 4TB (because I record in 4K) by purchasing a 3rd party hard drive (Toshiba). The new one was slightly noisier, so I relocated the NVR to the attic from a bedroom (the original was quiet). So, think long and hard where you locate stuff! I also easily set up record to a FTP server. The motion control is over sensitive on all systems I believe, hence 3 stars. My system records everything, and when playing back you can see the motion markers which is handy. Overall excellent system, service and value for money.

Easy to install, using the supplied cables. Longer runs will need extensions or you can make up using CAT 5/6 cable. Fittings are metal as are the camera bodies, the camera locking mechanism works well on a single Allen head screw. Picture quality is good day or night but at night there is a central hot spot which, while noticeable, is not a problem. Waterproofing seems good and the camera eyebrow keeps lenses dry. The recorder is small and light, allowing easy location in a covert location. Recorder runs cool and quiet without a fan. Software in the recorder could do with an update, works fine but looks like early DOS! That said most things can be done on the client software on your tablet, or computer and that is a much more up to date offering. Motion detection is like most cameras, not as good as PIR but works ok. Privacy screens will stop any problems with GDPR etc. Reolink customer service is excellent if you have any problems and the system is guaranteed for 30 months once registered. I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend, just do your research to make sure you know what you want.

Now having used this CCTV for several months, I can accurately conclude that the system is a cut above the rest. We owned a Eufy system, albeit briefly before hand and having to return it due to poor performance ie notifying us of events and actively recording events. This system is a vast improvement Comprehensive with an abundance of options to tune the experience. 4k true quality App works perfectly My only recommendation is that the owner upgrade the internal hdd as the 2TB with 4 cameras running 24/7 holds minimal days. Upgrade to 6tb and your all singing and dancing! Well done reolink we're smitten with your product. And above all your customer services is platinum. When contacted you respond in a timely manner, you appreciate that if a customer is going to invest in home security then you invest in helping them and after the sale and not just nudging them to make the purchase.

Impressive live images from this kit, both day and night. Easy to setup and good configuration options. However, for me, the major issue is with the client playback options. For some reason you can only play back at normal speed or slower(!). I have always found a "fast forward" feature essential for reviewing recordings when trying to find a particular event, but this is not available on the client applications for this device (PC and phone/tablet). If you use continuous recording then this kit will not be practical to use. Even if you can narrow down a time of interest you are still going to have to sit and watch the recording in real time until you find what you need. In my setup I have enabled motion detection. This does work well, however my house is on a reasonably busy road and triggers with every car that passes (unable to mask fully). Reviewing 100+ events in a day at real time is not practical - so catching that delivery driver or cold caller is a real pain to do. You can download videos and view using another application if you really wish - but this should be a feature of the client application. My much older and cheaper system can do this with x2, x4, x8 playback speeds. Presumed this would be a standard feature and requirement of all CCTV systems. Also only seem to be able to have one client connected at a time - this might be something that can be changed that I have not found yet, probably not a deal breaker but again my older system can have a least 2 clients at the same time. Going to persevere for another couple of days to see if I can come to terms with this - otherwise it's going back as not fit for purpose. Update: decided not to keep as play back to cumbersome. Having several days of sunny/cloudy conditions ended up with hundreds of alerts from two outdoor camera to search to find genuine activity. Changing thresholds on motion detection to prevent sun triggering also prevented detecting car moving on drive so not really a benefit. I guessing if you use this for indoors only then it's a great bit of kit. Otherwise not very practical for outdoor use.

I managed to get this in the black Friday sale at under £400 which seems a good deal for 4 x 4K cameras and the NVR The 4K vision is nothing short of superb, the night vision likewise....but...as with all cameras with ir lights that surround the lens, motion triggered recording is pretty much constant if there is even the lightest mist about, also the lights attract insects which again trigger motion recording. I have solved this by turning off the on board lights - note that when doing this the cameras remain ir sensitive unlike come other systems which revert to their daylight setting which is no good - and replacing the lights with external ir floodlights......I have found the Clarius range (much cheaper from CPC Farnell) to be superior in that they do not give a bright hotspot but do give an excellent and even overall illumination Had a few issues with settings on the NVR (and there are a LOT!) but Reolinks' support has been outstanding and usually answered within 24 hours....pretty good considering they are in China....they even logged in to the box and changed some settings for me The NVR itself is almost silent as it does not have a fan and runs quite cool, I have upgraded the internal 2TB hard drive as, with 4 x 4K cameras recording at their highest resolution 24/7 (lower resolution at night of course) it gave 6 days recordings, I have increased this to 6TB which will hopefully give just over 2 weeks. Searching for an event is not easy unless you know exactly when it happened.....the timeline does have a calendar with event markers but it is quite tiresome trawling through the footage even though with the latest firmware update you can now select between 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 & 16x speeds it is still difficult and time consuming to get to exactly where you want to be. As with all systems you get a mouse and a virtual keyboard which is a PITA when it comes to inputting the password but with the Reolink client installed pretty much everything can be accessed through a PC and to a lesser extent through a web interface (you cannot stream live or recorded in 4K through the web interface) and can save any recordings to the PC or a NAS if you have one so thankfully the NVR can be tucked away out of sight and doesnt need to be touched once set up. There is also an app which allows streaming in 4K. All 8 ports are POE powered which is better than other makes that usually only provide 4, so a single CAT5 cable is all that is needed for power and the digital stream from the camera, and being digital from the camera there is no degradation at all. There is one major downside however.... you cannot use any camera other than their own make (even ones that feature ONVIF as the NVR doesnt support that) so you have to use Reolink cameras.....which is fine but I need a 4K dome camera with a wider angle view which they dont make :( So, overall I am pretty impressed with it for the price, it has so far been reliable

La calidad de la imagen es una pasada, tiene mucha nitidez. De hecho, tiene tan buena calidad que recomiendo instalar la aplicación para PC, Reolink Cliente, donde se aprecia la calidad mejor que en el teléfono móvil. Vengo de unas cámaras de batería y gama media, y el cambio ha sido abismal. Y no sólo por la calidad de las cámaras, sino también por las app de móvil y PC, que funcionan de maravilla ambas. El micrófono me ha sorprendido a pesar de leer algún comentario negativo: funciona muy bien, tiene buena sensibilidad y graba muy bien. El paquete incluye todo lo necesario para instalarlas: 4 rollos de cable enormes, de en torno a 15 metros cada uno, (uno para cada cámara), un cable para conectar el disco duro al router y otro para conectarlo la red, y hasta tornillos y tacos. No sé para qué incluye un ratón de ordenador, para mí eso no es necesario pues todo el mundo tiene. Yo lo quitaría y restaría el precio del mismo, por pequeño que fuera, al total. En mi caso, va a un cajón y no se va a usar. Para instalarlas, y esto es para los que están tan perdidos como yo a la hora de comprarlas, basta con enchufar cada cámara por medio del cable de red al disco duro y éste al router y enchufe. Lo digo porque las cámaras tienen 3 salidas en el cable y esto puede llevar a confusión para quien no entiende del tema. Puede parecer que hay que poner 3 conexiones a cada cámara y no, sólo con el cable que viene incluido es suficiente. El propio cable de red además de transmitir datos, da corriente a la cámara. De momento sólo he instalado dos cámaras, pues en mi caso tengo mucho trabajo de cablear y necesitaré cables más largos, pero de momento esas dos funcionan muy bien. Las otras dos las pondré en cuanto saque otro día entero libre para ello. No se ha cortado la grabación en ningún momento, y el acceso desde las aplicaciones de móvil y ordenador es instantáneo, cosa que no ocurría con las cámaras que tenía anteriormente (tardaban en cargar media vida, y eso cuando lo hacían). En cuanto al ángulo de grabación es mucho mayor del esperado, captan un ángulo enorme, se ve todo, aunque por los laterales pierde algo de calidad, obviamente. Destacaría como punto negativos: - El sensor de movimiento, que salta con una mota de polvo, aun con la sensibilidad muy baja. No le pillo el punto para que salte con movimientos grandes, me salta cada 30 segundos desde hace 3 días que las tengo instaladas, con sensibilidad casi al mínimo. Seguiré haciendo pruebas y actualizaré el comentario si doy con la tecla. Desde luego no se puede activar por esto la notificación push, porque estaría el móvil sonando cada 30 segundos, día y noche. - Por la noche no tienen una buena calidad, los infrarrojos no son gran cosa y no alcanza tantos metros como dice en la descripción, ni de lejos. Y muy focalizada además la grabación. Pero es algo que imaginaba y en cierto modo lógico. - Al grabar a tanta calidad, me temo que el disco duro se lo van a pulir en pocos días, por lo que no estaría de más que tuviera más capacidad, una capacidad acorde a la resolución de las cámaras. Esto se soluciona bajando la calidad de grabación en los ajustes, pero quien se compra estas cámaras no creo que pretenda tenerlas a mínima resolución. De momento tengo sólo 2 cámaras, pero con las 4 calculo que durará 5 o 6 días. Estaría bien tener grabación de 10 días o así. De todas formas, miraré para comprar una ampliación de memoria. - No es fácil enfocarlas a donde queramos, el sistema que tiene para apuntar a cualquier sitio es un poco incómodo, hay que aflojar una tuerca y girar la base porque no puede apuntar a cualquier sitio, sólo se mueve el brazo en una dirección. Por contra, parece robusto el sistema y que no se vaya a mover, pero lleva un rato poner la cámara apuntando a donde queremos. Cuando instale las otras dos y lleve un poco de tiempo de uso con ellas, actualizaré el comentario con una opinión de más tiempo. Aunque de momento, por 485€ que lo compré de oferta flash creo que es una compra más que recomendada. EDITO LA OPINIÓN DESPUÉS DE MÁS DE DOS AÑOS DE USO: Ningún problema, ningún corte de grabación ni pérdida de calidad. Las apps siguen funcionando perfectamente, tanto la del móvil como la del PC. Y el disco duro con 3 cámaras a máxima calidad me dura aproximadamente 8-10 días, y a partir de ahí sigue grabando pero borrando desde el principio. Después de mucho tiempo y mucho exigirles (y como decía antes, de probar muchas marcas), no puedo recomendar otra cosa. Las recomendé a unos amigos y están igualmente contentos con la compra. Para mí, son un diez.

Article excellent. Conforme à la description. Installation simple, idem pour l'application sur smartphone. A voir dans la durée.

Reolink is easy to install and deliverd premium quality. My first purchase was a poe doorbell. Then i installed a wifi version for a friend of mine who doesn't hear very well and needed a smart doorbell because his hearing aid is connected to his phone. Then i installed another wifi version for my brother in law. And last month i installed the surveillance camera's at a gathering place where i volunteer because of a person stalking some of our visitors. Every install went smooth. Also remote access to the reolink devices is free. You don't need to get a cloud subscription, but it's an option. I'm a Reolink ambassador :-)

Je les recommande, quelque mois que je les ais et au top. Super enregistrement Bonne qualité d’image Rien à dire merci
