REOLINK RLC-520A 5MP PoE Security Camera, Outdoor Dome with IR Night Vision

I like the Reolink system, and have 5 cameras set up as well as a doorbell camera. I appreciate the image quality and ease of setting it all up. Easy to install and works great so far. Night vision is great and detects movement for quite a distance. I have connectivity issues with the app on my phone, but the system in our media closet is strong and works well.

Three set up in my storage unit. Work flawlessly. Night vision, face/human recognition. Easily view each camera with free software. Great quality pictures on my iPhone. Notifies me readily if motion detected!

I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a new camera at first, but I quickly moved past that once getting this thing all set up. First, set up was very easy. I am not using PoE (yet), but I have plenty of 12v power supplies laying around. Make sure you get one that can provide plenty of current (I can't say a minimum as the one I'm using can provide 30A max, so...). Getting a RTSP stream was easy once I figured out how I'm supposed to do it. Make sure you download the REOLink client app if you're interested in streaming. The mobile app is good for most users, I would think, but my plan involves OBS and FTP. Very clear picture quality, but that will also depend on your home network. I plan on moving away from the app and setting up a closed circuit system, with the only outside access to the video feed being the software that's getting video from the camera. Currently, using OBS for any streaming, and TrueNAS for FTP. Need to mess with detection settings and all that, but I think it's a very capable camera for a very affordable price. Planning on purchasing a few more to complete a good home surveillance setup.

Picked this up for outdoor security and it’s been a good, reliable camera. The video quality is clear, it performs well outside, and it’s been consistent without any issues. Does exactly what you want—keeps an eye on things without needing constant attention. Setup was straightforward, and once it was up and running, it’s just been doing its thing in the background. Overall, a solid camera that works like it should.

Great camera, super easy to install, clear vision ever during the night. I just love it. Also, pretty solid construction and mount plate. Highly recommeded.

I have several Reolink cameras. Curiously, this one would only work when connected with an A-version cable, and all the others are connected via the B-version. I first connected it with a tested B-version cable, and it refused to work until I tested it with an A-version cable. I had to change the wall-routed cable ends to the A-version cable. I know what I'm doing here, since I have a bunch of other Reolink cameras and a 16 port Poe switch. So, if you have tried everything and it still won't connect, Try a different cable that is wired to the other protocol. There are the A and B versions, with slightly different wiring.

I've bought a total of 8 of these cameras over the course of the years. I wouldn't go with any other brand. Easy to install, great quality even at night with the night vision function. I found myself not utilizing motion detection as much as it is very sensitive and will trigger at the slightest movement, there may be a way to adjust the tolerance a bit more but i havent fumbled around with it. Recommended as an easy to install, money saving alternative to expensive home security services that charge a monthly fee just for the service and equipment rental

I ordered this camera to replace another reolink camera that died do to rodents chewing on the power cable closet to the camera body! Wow! This camera performed amazingly. Clarity, no problem!Installation, no problem! If you have a Reolink system, and you need a replacement camera, this is it! That simple!
