REOLINK 4K WiFi Security Camera with 180° Ultra-Wide Angle, 2.4/5GHz Plug-in Outdoor Camera, Smart Human/Vehicle/Animal Detection, Color Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, DC 12V/2A, Duo 2 WiFi

The Duo 2 WiFi currently stands alone and above it's competition because of the price point, performance and features. When you need 180 degree coverage and are forced to use WiFi which I try to avoid the camera really comes thru and get's it done. I've purchased and returned a couple of Reolink models but this one is a keeper along with my stable of Trackmix Cameras. The installation is easy.... the WiFi performance is very good and the coverage and video quality are excellent. I use a splitter in a POE scenario FYI but for location testing the WiFi is super handy and worked very well. I run this camera in Blue Iris and Agent DVR with no issues. Night vision is decent (The Achilles Heel of Reolink Cameras BTW) but overall when you take into account all of the features, performance and price (using coupons or a sale) the Duo stands alone in this category as the camera to go with. Don't forget to purchase the Asurion warranty with any of these cams.... Good Luck

I think as a whole,, all Reolink products are basically good choices for a home that is not prewired for POE (thus WIFI set up is the most eco and effective solution. However, of all the camera's I have used, this one is the best in quality, range and product life. I have found this one to outperform newer Reolink camera's in this class. And as always, Reolink provides excellent customer support

The camera works great and the phone app is very easy to use and reliable, the desktop app used to be a bit finnicky but the latest version 8.18.12 works very well. The old app it was difficult to download recordings, the new version makes it simple. One of the biggest pluses of the camera is the local storage I have a 128GB card installed and that is where my recordings are all located. The notifications all work well, car, person or animal and it usually gets them correct. In the playback it has a little icon for each so if I am searching for video it makes it easier to find. I just purchased a new camera as the one I purchased 2 years ago will be included with the sale of my current house. For the money I do not think you can buy a better fixed camera, running for 2 years with snow, rain, sun and hail have all proved no match for the camera, One night the camera caught someone breaking into a car that had been parked across the street. When i realized the car had been broken into I went to look at the camera recordings and sure enough it was there. What I found amazing is the audio quality of the recording you can hear the person pounding on the glass from the other side of the car. The video quality was better but I had to reduce the quality due to the size.

The REOLINK 4K WiFi Security Camera with Ultra-Wide Angle is an impressive addition to the world of home security, delivering high-definition video quality and a broad field of view in a user-friendly package. Here’s a detailed look at what this camera has to offer. Design & Build The REOLINK 4K WiFi Security Camera features a modern, sleek design that blends well with various home exteriors. Its compact and robust build ensures durability while maintaining a discreet profile. The camera’s weatherproof casing makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, standing up well to the elements without compromising its performance. Performance The camera’s 4K resolution delivers exceptionally clear and detailed footage, allowing you to capture every detail with stunning clarity. This high-definition quality is particularly beneficial for identifying faces, license plates, or any fine details within the camera’s view. The ultra-wide-angle lens is a standout feature, offering a broad 122-degree field of view. This wide angle significantly reduces blind spots and ensures that a large area is covered with a single camera, which can be especially useful for monitoring large spaces or capturing expansive outdoor views. WiFi Connectivity The REOLINK 4K Camera’s WiFi connectivity is reliable and straightforward to set up. The camera integrates seamlessly with the REOLINK app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices. The app provides real-time viewing, motion detection alerts, and easy access to recorded footage, making remote monitoring a breeze. While the WiFi connection generally provides stable performance, it’s worth noting that the quality of the signal can be affected by the distance from your router or any obstructions. For optimal performance, placing the camera within range of a strong WiFi signal is recommended. Features Night Vision: The camera is equipped with advanced infrared LEDs that offer impressive night vision capabilities. It provides clear images even in complete darkness, which is crucial for 24/7 surveillance. Two-Way Audio: The built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way communication, allowing you to listen and speak through the camera. This feature is particularly useful for interacting with visitors or deterring potential intruders. Motion Detection: The motion detection function is highly customizable, allowing you to set specific zones and sensitivity levels. Alerts are promptly sent to your phone whenever motion is detected, ensuring you’re always informed of any activity. Storage Options: The camera supports microSD cards (up to 128GB) for local storage, providing a cost-effective way to save footage without recurring fees. It also offers cloud storage options for those who prefer an off-site backup. Ease of Use Setting up the REOLINK 4K WiFi Security Camera is straightforward thanks to the intuitive app and clear instructions provided. The camera’s user interface is easy to navigate, and features like live view, playback, and settings adjustments are accessible with just a few taps. Durability The camera’s build quality is robust, with weatherproofing that ensures it can handle various environmental conditions. Its durable design makes it a reliable choice for long-term use, whether installed indoors or exposed to outdoor elements. Drawbacks While the REOLINK 4K WiFi Security Camera is a strong performer overall, it does have a few minor drawbacks: WiFi Dependence: The camera’s performance is dependent on a stable WiFi connection. Users in areas with weak WiFi signals might experience connectivity issues. Limited PTZ Functionality: Unlike some other high-end security cameras, this model does not offer pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, which can be a limitation if you need to cover multiple areas with a single camera.

I would say these are a more advanced security camera than the average product. To get this out of the way, I would only recommend these for the intermediate or higher user, not a beginner. Because of setup, options, operations, I would only say this is for the user that has at least a little technical ability and experience. I've seen a lot of people on the reviews have issues with setup and other things, this is purely because they are a beginner. So now that's out of the way.. This is the best brand I've seen for what I was looking for in a security camera. This makes nest, ring and all the other popular camera look like amateur hour. The only thing I can say I would change on these is adding activity zones and allowing an easier way to change the wifi ssid in case things go wrong or something was incorrectly typed. The biggest negative of this type of camera is the wifi setup, not because it's hard or anything, but because for initial setup and if something goes wrong with the wifi password, you must hook it back up to ethernet and reconfigure it once again. This is one of my main reasons also to not recommend this to beginners. This is actually a security feature to prevent your camera system from being compromised, it is an advanced feature, but it makes it harder to reconfigure if you are not able to change wifi from the app. Regardless of this downfall, this is my favorite camera series, the duo line. I have two duo floodlights and then this duo wifi. It is weatherproof, it does shed rain. I saw that reolink has even said that these might be able to operate in -25f degree conditions because the camera itself produces heat. The official temp range of the camera is about 14f+. A bit too low for canadians or people higher up on the latitude, but let's just hope reolink was accurate in saying -25f is possible. For setup you simply just have to follow instructions. Unfold the paper, lay it out and read over it. Then read over it again until it makes sense to you. Just take it slow snd you will be fine. It asks you to plug in the camera for both DC power and ethernet to the router. I highly suggest getting the home hub, especially if you have more than one camera. After plugging in the camera, the app will further guide you. It will ask for your wifi and then you will pretty much be done. You will see a video feed on the app and then I suggest creating a reolink account for the app. Again, app setup is not for beginners, it is not as easy as things like nest and ring cams. Nevertheless, after getting used to how reolink does things, I think the setup makes sense and works in some cases better than other cameras especially for multiple cams. Physical install is the easiest part, use a level and predrill holes. The viewing angle on these are the most attractive feature. It makes motion cams obsolete and insufficient. You can't go back to normal cameras after using 180deg dual cams. The software setup has all the features you would want and a lot of the settings are adjustable. Things like motion sensitivity, human sensitivity, animal, vehicle, etc all adjustable. Another complaint I saw in the reviews was false alarms. Well in the settings you can turn the sensitivity down so it doesn't become a problem. I don't think most people even dive into all the settings honestly. In my experience, false alarms are not a problem after proper configuration and this will take a little time. Just observe when there are false alarms and adjust the proper setting. Rinse and repeat until done. If you aren't patient or just don't want to deal with finely tuning this thing, don't buy it and don't give it an unnecessarily low review when this product is perfectly fine for the more technical crowd. The Ai does a good job of identifying what it needs to as long as you properly adjusted the settings to your specific environment and needs. It does come with a super long power cable, about 15ft, then you have a few feet for the plug. If it's too short still, it's time for sn extension plug. There are in depth reviews on this product widely available online. I suggest getting familiar with the setup and then the features, because this will show you what to expect and if this product is even a good fit for you. Again, do not buy this camera if you are a beginner, get fussy over technical setups, or have issues with patience. Highly recommended camera if it fits your needs and your skill level.

I have been a lover of Reolink since the beginning. The cameras are awesome. The battery cams were a life saver and the best for outside surveillance. I have 11 of these cameras. From the Duo to the new TrackMix cameras as well as a mix of the old Argus PT. I originally rated these 5 stars but have changed to 1 star as the cloud offering has been changed and none of the cameras are eligible for the paid subscription for storage any longer. Even my newest camera which is only a year old is no ineligible for cloud access. They have moved on to 4G LTE cameras now and don't support anything but there new offerings. What's weird is that the free monthly account on the cloud which allows 1 camera and up to 1 GB storage works perfectly with every camera I own. When you try to migrate to the paid account so that you may enroll multiple cameras all of the sudden it says ineligible as I'm in the United States and not Canada. So the company sold me through their site and Amazon's 6 cameras about 10 months ago for $289.00 each that now are useless due to the inability to use cloud storage with them. Pretty shady if you ask me! Anyone need 11 paper weights? Move to an American brand or Hikvision where your system can grow and not be degraded in under a year.

*UPDATE* DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!. This is a very frustrating device. False alarms ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG. Then, you go outside to put the garbage out and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Walk, dance or whatever you want in front of it mand nothing. It shouldn’t be this difficult to try to figure out why you’re getting false alarms EVERY 30 SECONDS. You look at your device and you have 200 ALERTS!!!! I’m sitting on my I pad watching LIVE video and nothing is moving and not even the breeze is blowing and there’s alert after alert on screen. Must be ants a mile away. Or it sees breeze. The alerts were so annoying I had to disable them. Here’s what I did. There’s a feature where you can paint out areas you don’t want the camera to detect movement. I painted almost the whole screen and slowly erased a small bit at a time, screenshot it, and waited a day, if no alerts, I erased a bit more, screenshot it, and waited a day. And repeated. I did screenshot so if alarm went off, I’d know the area it was detecting. All I concluded was, MAYBE it’s picking up cars on a side road, FAR, out of range of detectable are. MEANWHILE, I’m adjusting other things like, minimum detection size, maximum detection size, sensitivity if a person is detected, sensitivity if a car is detected, sensitivity if an animal is detected. Then the results are the same. If you want a camera to look out and see what’s going on real time, and you have great Wi-Fi and you’re just too lazy to get up and look at LIVE events, this camera is for you. Otherwise, join me and watch your dog barking at people passing, garbage trucks picking up trash and so on, and NO VIDEO!!! Then again, all day and night false alarms till you give up looking at your phone, the when you do, 200 alerts of NOTHING!! DONT WATE YOUR MONEY DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY..

The camera is great, but setting up the WiFi was awful, I spent over two hours, trying, resetting, trying again, then finally it allowed me to set it up on the WIFI network. The picture is great and I do have 180 degrees view. Face, animal and vehicle detection is also nice. Also, if you do need assistance you have to pay for it, this is awful, you spend your money on the camera and they can't spend 5 minutes helping you....If I did not already have a 16 channel setup with POE cables, except this one, I would have looked into replacing the system. Camera quality Good, Setup Awful, Support Expensive.
