8CH Smart POE Camera System RLK8-800B4

These cameras are POE and easy to get setup with the NVR. Connecting the NVR to the PC and Phone applications was super easy. The only hard part about this is running all the ethernet cables to the cameras locations. We ran the cables through the attic to all camera locations and installed a 6 port ethernet wall plate to connect them all behind the wall. Then I used patch cables to go from the wall to the NVR. Cameras were installed under eaves with a small waterproof box next to each camera location to hide the wires and also to keep them protected from the elements. All in all it took about a month for me to get everything ran and installed but that was working on them when I had free time. If there is interest I will post pictures of how the cameras are installed and the wall plate. All the effort was worth it for me to not have to worry about wifi signal strength or having to change batteries or charge cameras. Camera picture quality is great when completely zoomed out. As with any camera that relies totally on a digital zoom you lose picture quality quickly when you try to zoom in on something. I do suggest you mess around with the Image Settings for the cameras for when they are recording in night mode. I had one camera especially that had pitch black background after about 30 ft from the camera. I upped the brightness on the camera and can now clearly see what was in that area. I was able to add 2 more Reolink cameras to this system with no issues. I added two of the 5 MP dome cameras to go over the front and back doors or the house. Something that was important to me was replacing the corded mouse that the system comes with with a wireless mouse. After trying out a few different mice the one that worked for me was the Logitech M310. It lags a bit sometimes but it is better than having to be right by the NVR to use it.

I have purchased several camera systems for various locations and they work great; the entire system is very easy to install and operate. The cameras in general are robust and of excellent quality, including everything necessary for a secure outdoor connection that withstands rain and sun. But, as an additional precaution, if the camera will be exposed to heavy direct rain and sun, it is best to place the Ethernet connection inside a Plexo IP55 junction box to prevent any short circuits in the connection that could damage the camera. Beyond the excellent product quality, their technical support and after-sales service are even better. I strongly recommend purchasing Reolink products.

I have messed around with battery cameras from all the big brands for a couple years and was always unhappy with them. I finally committed to running POE cables out to four corners of my house and ordered this system. I am glad I did. I never worry about cameras being down, or missing something I would want to have on video. The intelligent motion detection is pretty unbelievable. I have my front door filtered for anytime it recognizes a person and it is spot on. It even recognizes someone in the dimly lit garage across the street from me on occasion. Sorting through motion events is seamless and I always know when someone is approaching my front door. The fidelity of the cameras is high in both daylight and nighttime. They do suffer a problem I have always had with nighttime cameras, which is spider webs. Some spider always manages to run a line across the lens which lights up like a christmas tree and obscures the image. I recently took to spraying the areas around the cameras with insecticide once a month which seems to be working. The one downside of this system is the hard drive it comes with. Do yourself a favor and order a 6TB HDD Seagate Skyhawk Surveillance drive when you purchase this. The included hard drive is laggy and causes the system to lock up on occasion. It makes reviewing/viewing remotely from your phone next to impossible. This is a common complaint in the reviews, but is one I found is not associated with the capability of the system as a whole, but a limitation on the speed of the included drive. Since I replaced the drive, the system has been faultless. I learned the slow way when making my own cat5 cables that one pair of conductors straddles the center pair. If you hook up the cameras and nothing works, you probably made your cables wrong. They actually go something like Brown, Brown stripe, green, blue, blue strip, green stripe, orange, orange stripe. Make sure you look at a diagram and have the connector at both ends oriented the same way when making cables. I junked the included cables as I wanted everything cut to the exact length and color matched to my house to hide them. One of my runs was also too long for the included cables. Overall I could not be happier with this system. With a 6TB HDD I get about 21-22 days of footage before it overwrites which is plenty for me.
