  • Great idea, Bad implimentation

    RV - Oct 16, 2024

    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.
