REOLINK 12MP PoE Security Camera System 8pcs H 265 12MP Security Cameras Person Vehicle Pet Detection Two-Way Talk

Excellent Coverage and Crystal-Clear Quality! I couldn’t be happier with this REOLINK system! The 12MP resolution delivers incredibly sharp and detailed video even at night. The PoE setup made installation simple and clean, with just one cable per camera for both power and data. The eight cameras provide full coverage of my property, and the app makes it easy to view live feeds or playback recordings right from my phone. Motion detection is accurate and not overly sensitive, and I appreciate how customizable the alerts are. The system has been running smoothly without any lag or connection issues. For the quality, ease of use, and peace of mind it offers, this setup is worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and professional-grade home security solution!

Great system with easy set up. 12MP cameras are very clear. Love the way the light on the cameras light up at night when they detect motions. Speakers on the cameras are great. The doorbell camera has a wireless doorbell you can plug into a receptacle outlet which is awesome where you can place it anywhere in your home. Another example of a great product is their customer technical support. They are knowledgeable and you can actually talk to a live person and easy to get assistance. Love the product. Read more

We have been using these for several months now, and we love them. This is a major upgrade from our Blink system. Blink cameras have a long delay (3-15 seconds or more) from when motion is detected to when it records an “event.” This meant that the recording often missed the actual “event,” rendering the recording useless. The Reolink cameras record continuously, record high quality video, and have great zoom features. It’s fairly accurate at capturing and labeling events (e.g, identifying humans vs animals vs other things like vehicles). The provided cables were not long enough and numerous enough for our home, but we were able to affordable purchase extra cable from the hardware store. Since these are wired cameras, it does require installation that included crawling through the attic, drilling holes for cable, etc. this has been well worth the effort, though. Once the cables have been run through the house, the setup was fairly easy. These have been a great value for the cost. So much so that we recently upgraded our doorbell to Reolink as well.

This is the third camera system I've installed in my home in the last few months. The first one was a Lorex system that cost around $1200. I returned it because I could not get it to quit giving false motion alerts. Then I bought an 8 camera Reolink system. That system was a big improvement and I was happy with it. Then, browsing Amazon, I noticed they had this 12MP eight camera system for a few hundred more dollars. I was still within the return window on the first Reolink system so I returned it and purchased this system. It has been great so far. Very good image quality. The app is simple and easy to use. Setup was easy. I haven't had any interactions with tech support so I can't comment on that. Upgrading to this system also gave me lights on the cameras, audible alarms on each camera, and the ability to talk and listen over the cameras. Those are all nice features and work well. A few things I'd change... 1) The cameras don't lock on to the mounting plate. They just spin on and there's a slight click. If a dirt bag wanted to, they could just unscrew the camera and pull it off. That was one thing the Lorex did better, it had little set screws that locked the cameras to the plate so removing them would require a tool and at least a few minutes of time. 2) I think like most of these "cheaper" systems, the smart detection is kind of a gimmic. I've been trying for a month to get the settings where it only tells me if there is a person or a vehicle in the camera's view. It still occasionally alerts me to a wasp, a cat, or nothing that I can discern. It is an improvement over the Lorex technology, though. I'm hopeful one day I'll get the settings just right. 3) Not enough NVR storage capacity. I like to keep my system recording 24/7. I could get about 5 days of recordings before it started overwriting older stuff. That wasn't enough for me so I added a 6TB Seagate drive (not cheap!) in addition to the one that comes with the system. I think it can keep about 12 days of recordings stored now. If I ever get to a place where I 100% trust the accuracy of its motion triggers, I may switch it to record motion only. That would greatly increase the amount of days I could keep on the storage. Overall, I like this system and for the cost I consider it a good deal. I looked at a couple of U.S. company's commercial systems when I was shopping and they were $2500-$4k for the same amount of cameras and comparable NVRs. The way I look at it, I saved a ton of money and all it cost me was the weaker camera mounting system (which hopefully will never be a problem) and the occasional false motion alert.
