FAQs

What Cameras Are Compatible with the Reolink RLN12W?

The Reolink RLN12W supports Reolink plug-in Wi-Fi cameras, PoE cameras, and selected battery-powered Wi-Fi cameras, with resolutions up to 16MP. It supports up to 12 plug-in Wi-Fi and PoE cameras combined, plus 4 compatible battery-powered cameras, or up to 16 battery-powered cameras. Since the RLN12W has no PoE ports, PoE cameras require a separate power source. Compatibility varies by camera model and firmware version. Check the official compatibility guide for supported models.

How Do I Connect My Reolink RLN12W to Wi-Fi?

The Reolink RLN12W connects to your router via an Ethernet cable, not Wi-Fi. Its built-in dual-band Wi-Fi 6 network is designed to connect compatible Reolink cameras wirelessly.

To set it up, connect the NVR's LAN port to your router, power on the NVR, and complete the initial setup using a connected monitor. Then add your Wi-Fi cameras under Channel > Channel Management and sync the NVR's Wi-Fi settings to establish wireless connections.

For detailed instructions, see the official RLN12W camera setup guide.

Do I Need a Wi-Fi 6 Router to Use the Reolink RLN12W?

No. The RLN12W does not require a Wi-Fi 6 router. It connects to your router through an Ethernet cable and provides its own dual-band Wi-Fi 6 network for compatible cameras. You can continue using your existing Wi-Fi 5 router while connecting supported Wi-Fi 6 cameras directly to the NVR.

Can the Reolink RLN12W Record Without Internet?

Yes. The RLN12W supports local recording to its pre-installed 2TB HDD without an internet connection. As long as the NVR and cameras remain powered on and connected, recording can continue during an internet outage. However, remote access outside your local network requires an internet connection.

What Is the Difference Between Reolink RLN12W and RLN8-410?

The key difference is how they connect and power security cameras. The RLN12W uses dual-band Wi-Fi 6 to connect compatible cameras without Ethernet cables running to each camera, making it suitable for existing homes, detached garages, and other locations where network cabling is difficult. It supports up to 16 cameras but has no PoE ports, so cameras require separate power sources.

The RLN8-410 features 8 built-in PoE ports that deliver power and video through a single Ethernet cable per camera. It is better suited for new installations where Ethernet cabling is available, particularly for multiple cameras requiring continuous recording. Newer hardware versions support up to 12 cameras.
