This camera works great, and its battery life is good as well, takes a couple of seconds to play the video (I assume that's normal), the main downside is that this camera does not integrate with any pre-existing Reolink NVR, I have a RLN36, and it does not work with it.

Overall this is a good camera. It has all the features that make it a good choice. With one exception. This camera cannot be used with other NVRs. For me this is a deal breaker and the camera will be returned.

I installed and maintained cctv, intrusion and other electronics for20+ years and have seen lots of systems, high quality and low. This camera has great clarity and works very well. While there is a bit of delay in the P/T functions, i attribute this to internet travel time for the signals and is perfectly acceptable to me. I absolutely recommend this camera with a solar panel to everyone ! Btw, a 128gb SD card makes a pretty good storage of video set at 10fps 👍

I have this mounted on my building facing my driveway. I have the sensitivity for recording people at 90%. People can walk up my driveway and I usually get the last second of them before they disappear into my back yard. Horrible for a security Camera. Also if you have it it on Color mode for recording at night . In order to see everything. You have to raise the brightness to a point that lights completely flair the lens and you cannot see anything. I have had older Reolink cameras that may not have the picture quality of this under ideal conditions. But they did a MUCH better job as a security camera.

Preis Leistung ganz oK, jedoch verbesserungswürdig!
Im Nahbereich ist die Bildqualität gut, jedoch lässt diese nach ca. 6m stark ab und dieses ganz besonders im IR-Modus. Die Autotracking-Funktion funktioniert nicht immer. Mal wird das Objekt verfolgt, mal nicht! Was definitiv in der Software fehlt, sind verschiedene Profile die man einstellen und speichern kann. z.B. Profil 1, Erfassungsbereich komplett, Kamera auf ein Objekt links mit Verfolgung ausgerichtet / Profil 2, Kamera rechts ausgerichtet, ohne Verfolgung, mit Privatmaske aktiv, Profil 3,..... Somit könnte man die Einstellungen nach Bedarf schnell wechseln.

The only thing missing is a patrol mode and this thing downright perfect

Bought two of these cameras in mid December and fitted them at about 2.5 metres from the ground and, as I didn't want to climb ladders to attach a charging cable, I 'hard wired' them to chargers inside and set them on timers to mimic solar panels for a few hours each day.

They were fairly easy to set up, but I had to search the support pages for setting up the horizontal tracking parameters and monitoring points, (as the installation and set up 'manual' is very basic), to fully set up and calibrate them to my monitoring requirements. Because the areas aren't well at night I use the spotlights on auto mode, with the siren facility for during the late night to early morning.

All went well until we had a cold spell and the batteries wouldn't charge due to the cold weather. I was advised that I should take the cameras indoors to warm them up and then charge them indoors. Having done this, I didn't relish the prospect of doing this task several times a week in freezing temperatures we can have during the winter months so I fabricated 'mini electric blankets' for them from waterproof 'pet warming pads' which I enveloped in plant protection fleece and folded into thick pads on which I placed a film of kitchen foil on the top to keep the heat in and covering with more fleece before fitting them over the top and. down the side and front of the battery case and securing them with velcro tape fitted in front and behind the microphone and loudspeaker. I also put them on timed charge during the night via 5 volt 2 amp usbA charger and long extension cables.

The following morning, when the temperature was well below freezing outside, (- 2.3 Celsius), I was very pleased that both cameras immediately began charging at their allotted times and this 'hack' has worked well since. To test this I tried to charge the cameras after a cold day when the outside temperature was just below freezing and they were about 70% charged and they wouldn't ordinarily have charged - whereas they started charging an hour after their electric blankets had been switched on.

I was also impressed when I saw an alert at 3:30 a.m., one morning and saw that a black cat with a small white patch on it's throat had jumped over a neighbours fence about 10 metres from the camera and was nonchalantly strolling towards the house before the siren went off, when it then beat a very hasty retreat.

Another plus is their size, yes they are big beasts that stand out and discreet they are not; but they are what they are meant to be - deterrents to dissuade any would be nefarious characters; especially during night when the spotlights are on and so obviously functioning when any power cuts happen - so, their question is. 'do I feel lucky and hope the signal isn't going to a mobile device which is now operating from a power bank and sending the video to be saved in the cloud; or do I go somewhere else?' - probably a no-brainer.

The only downside is that they are slow to react and do not capture any distant movement without the pre-recording mode function turned on.

I had researched POE and wired WiFi cameras which Reolink's Support team informed me were more 'reliable' and don't need charging, which is a fact; but, if there is a power cut, when any felon could take advantage of the near total darkness with relish - then they are as useful a kettles made out of snow.

So, on balance, now that I've overcome the charging issue in cold weather, I'm content with my choice.

I have an Argus 2 solar wifi camera that had suddenly stopped sending email notifications to me.
I contacted customer support about the problem, and they were relentless in their efforts to solve my problem.
Season and the whole team have my thanks and Reolink has a customer for life.
Thanks.

The battery and solar panel would be ok if you live closer to the equator, but the temperature and short days in Minnesota reduce the effectiveness of both. Why would you advertise a camera for winter with a operation temperature that bottoms out at 14° F? Otherwise the system performs as advertised. Tracking works.

Super matériel mais il est crucial que l'équipe fasse des mises à jour rapide car plusieurs fonctions ne sont pas encore optimisés, notamment au niveau du projecteur de lumière...
