REOLINK 4K PTZ Outdoor Camera, PoE IP Home Security Surveillance, 5X Optical Zoom Auto Tracking, Spotlights Color Night Vision, Two Way Talk, Up to 256GB microSD Card (Not Included), RLC-823A

I added this PTZ POE camera to an existing Reolink system to the front of my house.I wanted person tracking and to be able to have a 360 viewing capability's It exceeded my expectations on performance, picture quality, Zoom, color night video, ease of installation! The phone application was easy to download and use it gives you total control and complete programming of the camera system. Only one down side is the camera only mounts one way only. I would recommend this camera be mounted on a corner of the structure do to its 360 capabilities. If your on the fence just buy it I am sure you will be impressed as I am And highly recommend this camera!

This camera is more than I expected. I like the ability to choose what to track, people, vehicles and pets. The tracking works well 90 percent of the time. Sometimes when it is tracking if it comes across a parked car it will stop on the car but other than that it works great.The return to home position timer being adjustable is a wonderful feature.THE SPOTLIGHT! The spotlight is bright enough to light up and identify a person in pitch black conditions at 75 feet.I like the ability to select which type of motion when searching through recorded content and the ability to set the sensitivity of each type of motion (any motion, person, pet or vehicle).The notifications work quickly and allows you to view the live feed within 2 to 3 seconds which allows you to activate the sound to communicate with the person or pet or to activate the siren which is loud enough, similar to a car alarm but only sounds for approximately 3 seconds to 5 seconds each press.I use the camera with my wifi controlled garage door to let deliveries drop off packages in my garage.The only gripes I have that the company could fix with a software update is when reviewing saved footage it defaults to 12am. I think it would be better to default to the last motion alert.The other gripe is to be able to toggle alerts on and off quickly like for when my neighbor is working on his car I would like to silence the alerts without going into my app settings or the camera settings to turn off the alerts completely.I installed a 128gb sd card and it holds 12 days of high amount of motion recording for me.I would highly recommend this camera

This is a great camera. I installed it under a second floor roof overhang where it gets a 270 degree view. It's at my weekend ranch house so I thought I would use it to look out for trespassers while I'm stuck in the city. It's great for the intended purpose. I have it set to send me an email and an image if it detects a vehicle.Turns out its great for watching wildlife as well.I set it up to do a patrol that does a wide view that pans slowly cross it's entire field of view so I can see what the weather is doing. It then pans down and goes in a little tighter and does another slow pan. Next it zooms in tight and pans to a a few key spots and lingers on each for a while. Running and watching the patrol has become part of my morning routine. The possibilities are unlimited, mostly.I keep it set at it's "Balanced" video setting. It's a little grainy but the video feed is smooth on my limited bandwidth. You can do a HI-RES playback if something happens that you want to seen in sharper detail. The largest SD card will hold almost a weeks worth of recordings.The uploaded image is a screen shot from a video clip of a couple of Axis Deer fighting over the water trough. A little dry this year. They are about 70 yards from the camera and this image is cropped pretty tight but is relatively clear.In addition to the 5x optical zoom it is possible to zoom in tighter when playing back recorded clips. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have more optical zoom and that when manually panning it moves pretty quick and sometimes overshoots the intended target.I have a couple of inexpensive cameras that cover the porches and areas I can't see with this one. I'm very happy with this one, I may get another one for the opposite corner of the house.

I wish I had a few more of these to go around the house. Great picture quality and streams easy. I saw alot of other reviews prior to purchasing this unit that others had all sorts of issues with them. We have not. Simple to install! Wonderful quality. PTZ is very easy to operate. Sound quality is good. I can hear conversations all over the yard were this is pointing. Talk back is nice also. TWO features that I really like about this camera is the homing feature and follow feature. You can setup the view, tag it and set your time and it goes back to that point of view for home. Also set it up to follow something in the line of view.Highly recommended!
