I purchased this for my new home and prewired the cat5e to have visibility everywhere... this system is amazing! The push notifications are great and the remote dvr capabilities are superb. Love this!!!

Really easy plug and play. Great picture quality even with multiple cameras recording at once. With the PoE systems would be nice if the other wires could be hidden or removed as it makes it a little bulky to work with and unnecessary if you only need an ethernet cable.

Ordered this kit on black Friday. Came in within' 2 weeks. Hooked up the NVR to a spare HDTV via HDMI and upgraded the firmware with a flash drive without an issue. The flash drive needs to be formatted as FAT, this step is included on the instructions. The step by step instructions are easy to follow for a non-techy. Hooked up the cameras to the NVR and upgraded the firmware without an issue. The GUI (graphical user interface) makes it really simple to rename camera's, format the hard drive, and setup the other features. I connected everything before actually mounting the camera's under the eaves of my roof to make sure everything works without error. It's been a solid month and I haven't had a problem. I have also been communicating with Reolink via Facebook chat and they have been very prompt with service. Customer service and firmware upgrades are key in the security field and Reolink produces that in a fast manor.

Hooked this system up to monitor the exterior of my house. 4 cameras gave me the flexibility to cover a 360 degrees of home. The install was simple and the power wires were easily long enough. Camera are easily adjustable to point in any direction. The night vision is excellent. Would highly recommend.

I purchased and installed this system and I am truly impressed with the build quality of the cameras, quietness of the NVR and design of the software options and phone app. I conducted extensive research for all systems and found Reolink to have the most available options on cameras and NVR compared to all others.

I was not sure which security systems brand to buy since all of them have pros and cons. Finally I took the decision in favor of Reolink. Shipping was a bit slow, but within acceptable timeframes. Configuration was of medium complexity but I managed to have it all done in a few days.

Pros:
- Upgradable
- 4MP PoE cameras
- HDD included
- Exceptional night vision quality
- Sound. You won't find many outdoor security cameras with sound.
- Very good application for Apple iOS.
- Stable remote access.
- Flexible motion detection configuration. I've tuned each camera depending on its location - to have it sending adequate alerts. By default it was sending too many.

Cons:
- Web browser access/management is different from browser to browser. I tried IE, Firefox, Chrome. All of them have some issues but in different menus. I finally mixed the original application for windows and iOS to fully configure the system.
- Noisy fan on the NVR.
- RJ-45 connectors on all 18m included cables were not locking into a standard RJ-45 CAT.6 patch-panel. Had to cut all connectors on one side and redo them (not a big deal).
- If recording is continuous, there's no motion-detection labelling on the time frame. So, without alerts you don't know if there was a motion or not. Reolink, if possible please add this feature in your future apps.

Overall, I'm satisfied by this system and it fully covers all my needs.

Just received my package order from Reolink. I used this system to replace an existing PoE security system from another brand. So happy to have. I even used my existing wiring and PoE switch from my previous system. Surprisingly the NVR detected all the Reolink cameras. I love the user interface, so easy to configure and use.

Dear Naif,
Thanks fore requesting information about our products.
The bitrate will affect the recording file size. The higher the bitrate is, the better image and audio quality will be, and the bigger the file size will be; the lower the bitrate is, the image and audio quality and file size will show the opposite results.
Please refer to the FAQ <a href="https://reolink.com/faq/how-long-can-a-2tb-hdd-record/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Long Can a 2TB HDD Record</span></a> for more information.

Dear Steph, if you mean to view the cameras connected to the NVR, you can view them locally on a monitor if there is no internet access.
Have a nice day!

I've had my Reolink RLK8-410B4 for a couple of weeks now and I am incredibly amazed at how easy it was to setup and configure. Hooking up my cameras was easy as I was able to plug the camera into the router and access the footage from my smart phone.. This allowed me to aim and adjust the cameras in just the right position without going up the ladder, making adjustments, going down the ladder, up to the monitor, over and over and over again. Simply plug the ethernet cable into the NVR system and then the NVR system to the router and cameras are up and running. The configuration menus in the NVR are easy to understand, create a password and you are off and running. You can rename camera to unique names, decide on the resolution (although once you see your camera in 4MP, you wont want anything less.), set motion detection areas, and alerts. Accessing my Cams from Reolink App is easy and I can watch on my smart phone. If you are planning on viewing from the web, you will have to do some setup to get a static IP, but its not hard to do. The shipping was quick and free too. One thing I wish was better out of the box was in-depth instructions. The instructions that come with it give basic install instructions, but don't go into detail about doing a static IP and secure port to access over the web. All in all a great product for the price. I previously bought analog cameras and DVR, but it died in a matter of two years. I suspect this is going to last a long time.

After running cables in the attic (a whole different story) I turned the NVR on, plugged each camera in and scanned the QR code on the NVR with my cell phone (while on the Reolink App); that is it! You can pretty much do everything on your cell phone besides changing motion detection settings on the camera and updating the NVR. When you are using a monitor/TV connected to the NVR (or from PC app) you can change where you would like motion to be detected and the sensitivity, which is a VERY NICE feature!

The only cons I have are the push notifications and the cables on the cameras. The push alerts just show you a time stamp basically and seem's like you have to have the app running to receive. Although you can setup email alerts (30 secs, 1 min to 5 minutes) I would rather open the app and review the alerts that way. You can press 'Playback' within the app and find the times to view the footage. I love that they are POE cameras, but it would have been a lot easier if the camera's only had the Ethernet port instead of all the other ones too (Optional power port and a reset button on a cable).

The picture quality is good, and if a car pulls in the driveway you can see license plate number.

Having recently moved house I felt less secure by not having CCTV, after many ours of research I purchased the 5MP RLK8-410B4 system and an extra 8MP camera to cover the back door and the tank for heating oil, oil theft is rife in the UK countryside. The system was easy to install, the power over ethernet alleviated the need for an electrician and the system configured itself. The picture quality is fabulous, far exceeding the expensive albeit old system at my previous residence. I have recommended Reolink to my friends and family. The only negative I can find so far, and it is nothing really. The supplied CCTV signs are pale blue and don't stand out and so they are useless. Besides this the kits are excellent value and I will be adding a wireless camera to my system to cover the inside of my garage.

Real easy to hook up, way better than BNC systems. I connected all cameras to NVR before installing on my house everything worked great. I currently have analog system at business the reolinks system looks outstanding will replace my business with reolink poe system. My only problem wish the water seals were already installed on cables. Hate I have to cut and re-crimp RJ45 to install water tight seal. But overall its still a great system and built in mics on cameras are a plus

Hi,
i have bought one these packages almost two Years ago, and have installed them along side 4 additional RLC-420 cameras.
The package is awesome! It came along all the required items for setting all up, up to the minor detail (even screw drivers, stickers, mouse, extra cables, and so on).
Super easy setup, intuitive, clean and fast. Devices are fully plug-n-play.
I have my house fully covered now, with 9 cameras, 8 connected to NVR and 1 additional connected through the LAN router using a very simple PoE splitter.
Live almost for two years now, with ZERO downtime!
Good stuff!
PF

I bought this PoE Kit about one year ago and since then I have been improving it by adding some other Reolink Devices. I'm very happy about it because it's been working great, it's easy to maintain and the software interface (both the Android App and the Windows Client) is extremely user friendly. Nevertheless the customer support is friendly and always willing to help, also open to suggestion and very customer-centric. I have no doubt in recommending Reolink products as well as Reolink brand for its professionalism.

I have this system for myself, and just installed another one for my parents. I very much want to give it 5 stars, but there are just a few quirky things that cause me to give 4 stars for now.

Pros: The system is easy to configure and get started using the P2P technology which allows you to scan a barcode with your phone and immediately connect to the cameras individually or to the NVR. The resolution is good, but could be better (more on that later). Everything that is required to get started is included in the box including Cat5 cables and mount kits. So far the system seems reliable and has quite a few configuration options so you can tweak it just right. The software for the PC &amp; iPhone/Android work pretty well with only one minor bug that I've noticed so far (see cons). I also love the fact that these cameras all come with built in microphones. They perform much better than I expected. Now if they can just add a speaker so I could talk back :). There are many more good things to say about the system but to save time I'll move on.

Cons: The cameras come with waterproof connects to protect the ethernet connection from weather. This works great if you are running brand new ethernet cable and terminating it afterwards, but these connectors do not fit the pre-made cables that are shipped with the system. It's a minor detail, but for anyone installing in an environment where moisture may be an issue, you would need to cut &amp; replace one connector to install this. I just pushed all of mine up into the attic since I was mounting to wood.

There is no remote control with the system. I was disappointed about this because my parents wanted it on their main tv in the living room and they cannot change the input options without getting up.

I ordered cameras that had SD cards built in. Unfortunately the SD card doesn't seem to be usable when connected to the NVR.

The resolution is listed as 2k (4MP) quality, but in comparing this system with others, I don't think the clarity is any better than a true 720p system. That being said, for the price of this system, the image quality can't be beat.

The network time sync is currently not working on the latest firmware, but I'm working with Reolink to correct this hopefully soon.

I personally don't like the idea of the P2P bar codes being used on my system. This setting allows data to be transmitted by to a server so you can easily connect to it from anywhere. This is great in theory, but obviously poses some security risks. Because of that, I disabled this feature and used direct connection setup through my router with port forwarding which is less risky because at least I control it. On the mobile apps, I have to delete the P2P option every time I load the app before it will let me connect to the NVR via IP address. This seems to be a bug and something that is likely fixable. I will also work with Reolink to take care of this.

Again, this isn't a perfect system, but it is so much better than the 2-300 systems out there, and about half the price of other systems offering only slightly better quality/features. For the price, I don't think you can beat this system and the support team seems to be pretty responsive so far.
