REOLINK Security Camera Outdoor, IP PoE Dome Surveillance Camera, Smart Human/Vehicle Detection, Work with Smart Home, 100ft 5MP HD IR Night Vision, Up to 256GB microSD Card, RLC-520A

I haven't installed it yet but I know without a doubt that these cameras are great!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy to setup with agent dvr and integrate Into home assistant. Image quality and detect is decent. Just bought the doorbell and 2 bullet cameras and a some camera to go with it. If you're a diy'er and want to setup an NVR yourself like I wanted to, then these are the best budget cameras on the market.

This is the second POE Reolink camera I buy, this have a wider angle, the software is super user friendly and accessible from anywhere, it allows you to add multiple users so you can share it with your family members, image quality is real 4k, colours are super accurate in both day and night times, connection is super steady, zoom is good, build quality is reliable and is easy to install.

I bought this for my backyard, but the clarity compared to another Reolink PoE 4K camera (810) was not great. I'm not sure if there was a problem on the sensor or not. This camera locally recorded great to 256GB micro SDHC including audio, but I could not see any way to focus even with the frame rate and video stream set high, just wasn't clear like the 810. Also not in the spec (that I could see) was the actual lens size and depth of view. Motion detection sensitivity is hard to adjust, the software is not clear. Overall I really like the Reolink products and recording software.

I bought 5 of these cameras and installed on my lake house which is 1200 miles away from where I live. It is great being able to see what's going on. I set them on "record on motion" and the app makes it easy to see what triggered the recordings.I installed a Power over Ethernet (PoE) router for these, which meant no routing of extra power lines to each camera. A $60 PoE switch was definitely worth the investment here. I put a 128Gb micro-SD card in each, so no cloud subscription is required.I also put one of these in my garage so I could see if there is water from the well tank, softener, or heater there. Well worth the small incremental investment for my peace of mind.I highly recommend these and am kinda looking for more "use cases" to buy a few more :-)

Have purchased quite a few cameras from Reolink and the PoE series doesn’t disappoint. It provides a very clear picture in both day and night and offers 3 configurable quality modes (Fluent, Balanced and Clear) which allows a varying amount of bandwidth allowing one to access the camera over cellular networks which keeps your cost down. It’s very easy to install since there’s no need for both a power and Ethernet cable (requires PoE network switch).Pros- Easy to install using just an Ethernet cable (requires PoE network switch)- High quality picture/video both in day and night mode- Configurable quality modes of Fluent (lower quality, less bandwidth), Balanced (good quality, more bandwidth) and Clear (high quality, high bandwidth)- Can access directly via URL to display within 3rd party apps (i.e. MotionEye)Cons- Not really a con but it is PoE only and has no power cable like previous modelsHighly recommend it.

Absolutely loved it for 6 days and then had a pretty rough 'Florida Rain Storm' and now the camera is trash because the camera lens (on the inside of the unit) is all fogged up.When I say 'I loved it', I mean, I have a variety of wireless security cameras and this was my first IP camera. The image quality was much better and the streaming rate was about 20x the speed I was getting with the other cameras.Since the storm this afternoon, not only does the view look like there is a heavy fog (despite the sun being out) and the streaming rate has dropped by 10x of what it used to be and there are times that the camera drops to 0 and then disconnects.I was so happy (until now) that I was going to purchase another (nicer unit) that features Pan & Tilt, but now I doubt that I will.Please note that this is not just water (or watermarks) on the outside of the lens as I had put a cover over the entire unit to prevent it from getting wet.Very disappointed as I had planned on using the camera for a live feed on YouTube.

The media could not be loaded. I tried a blink outdoor wifi camera in our sump well but as soon as the steel cover dropped, so did the signal. Our house was strangely built on a spring, and without a sump pump the crawlspace fills like a swimming pool in a few days. The rain gutters and footer french drain all go in this deep, dark well.Sump pumps only lasted a few months with constant on and off cycles, even with a timer, so I have this great camera with a POE net switch ($25 or so) setup outside so I can remotely check the level and start my pump when there are two feet of water in the sump. It can evacuate 700 gallons a day when it rains.The camera was easy to install with the turret screwed on a wood board. It has great sound, so I can hear when the pump is almost running dry and stop it. The app is also very easy to use, I can check on things a few times a day when we are half a country away in Iowa. The sump itself is in Washington State. I hope this keeps working in the humidity and weather, so far so great.
