I had high hopes for this RLC-1240A 12mp extended screen 4K camera. (4512x2512 resolution vs the regular 3840x2160)
-It works fine in Preview mode on my NVR monitor but when I try to switch it to full screen I get an error message saying that the resolution is not supported -even though the NVR manual says it supports the 12mp camera. I have the latest firmware installed in the NVR, but even so, the only way I could get this camera to display full screen was if I lowered the camera's resolution to 3840x2160 -which kind of defeats the purpose of having an extended screen in the first place. I'm not happy about that.
As well, there are issues with the infrared lights for night viewing. There are a hugely unacceptable number of internal reflections and visual artifacts (from the clear housing) visible in the image when the infrared is turned on. I'm either forced to use the regular lights, which would screw up my stealth installation or I have to install separate infrared illuminators. I'm not happy about that either.
All in all it's a very nicely built, solid little camera that doesn't do a very good job in a couple critical areas.
I don't recommend it.

I wanted this cam for it's 145 degree diagonal FOV. It's well worth it. 12MP day time, IR night time, and Spotlight are crisp. IR with the CMOS sensor does SUPER good in the dark. The spotlight feels like 1 60w soft bulb outside. Which isnt not BAD. It gives me enough light in front of my garage door, that is pitch dark, so I can make it to the front door. It wont light up your yard, but it do its job for a small area.

The nice part is, it HAS few MP settings you can drop it quality down too. 12MP down to 4K and below. Gives you an option of applying to a 3rd party NVR that cant support the 12MP. Then still give you the option to future proof it, when you get the device that can handle 12MP video.

145 diag FOV is great! It splashes a wide area while being crisp still.

Also, please remember to install the cam before taking off the plastic from the glass dome. It will get smudged. Even I did the same and still smudged it. Terry Cloth wipe down and it was back to normal. You can buy terry cloth squares on Amazon for cheap. invest in a pack.

I uploaded some pics... IR ON, Daytime, Spotlight view from my iphone, Spotlight on from Cam FOV.

AI is very responsive with this cam. I have a Duo 3 POE and its response faster than it.

I would recommend this cam to anyone. 12MP, a fairly good CMOS rating, and 145 degree Diaf FOV... you cant go wrong!
