REOLINK5MP PoE Security Camera, Surveillance Outdoor Indoor for home, Person/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Time-Lapse, Work with Smart Home, 100ft IR Night Vision, Support 256GB SD Card, RLC-520A(Pack of 2)

Excellent! Just hook it up to a PoE switch and scan the QR code from ReoLink app.It sets up real easy and you can get to it from internet, probably used UPnP on you router to get data out to the internet, which is a security concern.

I bought 2 cameras about five months ago. The quality and resolution are great. Text notifications are great too, plus the recording of sound and footage is a big plus. The App works great for desktop and Android devices. Since you can install a MicroSD card, you have 24/7 recording available without the need to pay extra for cloud storage. After 4 months of usage, one of the cameras went bad, and within a week, I got a free replacement after I returned the malfunctioning device that kept going OFF/ON. Support was really helpful; they kept communicating all the time about the status of my case. I definitely recommend this product!

Bought a 6 camera system in January 2024 and I prefer the wired over the wireless. All the cameras worked well and as advertised. When a warranty issue can up they addressed it completely and very, very quick. I appreciate that kind of customer services. Thank you standing behind your product.

Great picture. Pay attention to how many degrees of arc you'd like.For the price, good daytime color and decent night time operation - having used only indoors.Fairly nice friction adjustment. Seems to stay put.Looks nice -even if it is, "very big up there."Plug, point, and, paddle away...

winnie the pooh loves spying on me with these.

These were a nice replacement for the older security cams we had up in the store. The recommendation came from my brother who does camera installations. When we got them and did the installation the video quality was a lot better. At the same time we were upgrading our network in the shop as well. So getting the POE router was already on the list.Being able to go back and view based on the SD card is cool too. What I didn't notice till after was I couldn't get cloud based from Reolink because of the model cams I had. But that was in me for not researching that through. However these are worth the money real clean sends alert. Set uo not too complicated. The software (app) gives you plenty of customisation. So worth the buy

Addendum:Camera just quit working. It was installed in a clean dry climate controlled environment, powered via POE from a system on a stable UPS power supply. Then one day it stopped working. It responds to ping but only ports 22 and 8888 are open now. I don't know why. What I do know is my camera randomly and for no obvious reason stopped being a camera. That's pretty unacceptable.Original Review:When I bought this camera I didn't realize it was not a PTZ camera. It's not but that is my fault. It is a good camera with good image and sound quality, and seems to have decent software and firmware. The cameras have a web interface that's accessible via any common web browser on your LAN, and the Reolink app (I only have android devices but the IoS app is probably good too) is pretty OK. The app has several ways to access the device, and once added you can easily view the camera feed(s) from outside the walls of your home and LAN.This highlights a caution; The cameras DO appear to make an outward connection to some sort of relay server, probably a TURN/STUN setup maintained by Reolink someplace. I didn't dig into it, I just blocked it with firewall rules since I use a private OpenVPN instance to access things remotely. If that all sounds like gibberish, you probably don't need to worry about it - just use the software and it's probably fine. I just have trust issues when it comes to live video feeds from inside my home.Nothing too interesting, it's just a personality quirk I guess. It would maybe be nice if there was some obvious way to disable the outbound link but (1) I still wouldn't trust it myself and would still firewall it and (2) probably not one else cares and (3) this 'feature' would probably just cause support calls to Reolink. So it's probably really best this way - anyone who knows and cares can do what I did.The camera itself, although not PTZ, seems well made and the mount is very versatile as far as angle and rotation. I just plonked it on the ceiling but it can also wall mount just as well. Pretty nice, I'll probably get more. The camera powered up just fine from a common PoE switch, I'm using Ubiquiti but probably any PoE would work.Will buy Reolink again. Trying the WiFi PTZ indoor units soon, stay tuned.

The media could not be loaded. These cameras are one of the best solutions in case you don't have a high budget, you have very good vision and work perfectly
