I have had a ReoLink camera system for years and it quit working so I ordered a new DVR. Come to find out before unboxing the new DVR I discovered it was just a bad power cord connection. I returned the new DVR but definitely ReoLink as I've had years of good camera coverage.recommend ReoLink as it gives me

Easy swap out the original lasted 10 years.. purchased the same recorderGreat product

Considered buying my own components for a NVR POE system but considering motherboard, power supply, POE switch for 8 channels, The recognized brand name Reolink NVR was a buy ! Easy to set up connected to HDMI Tv/monitor. On the TV remote, only one button press is required to view camera that monitors your property and entrances by all family members ,when doorbell rings or buzzer on the NVR sounds due to a detected event. Many settings are available to fine tune your system cameras for detection filtering false alarms with the supplied mouse. Not just a closed circuit video system but integrated with a motion detection in the field of view of the camera(s). Connected a POE Reolink REOLINK 4K PoE Security Camera System, Home Outdoor IP Camera in 180 Degree Viewing Angle, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Color Night Vision, Two Way Talk, Up to 256GB microSD Card, Duo 2 PoE (New) The picture is amazing 180 degree view and detection. NO monthly charges for local storage of the 2 TB hard drive and with the alarms activated it is a motion detection security system. . Not yet connected to a router for mobile monitoring but fully functional. The system provides peace of mind and convenience when waiting for your transportation, Uber etc to show up or arrival of guests and delivery people. All recorded for reference if needed. Will be expanding the system to cover property both interior and exterior. The startup cost was just under $350, a bargain for this type of security system for both vision and motion detection. IMO.

I wanted to follow up on my past review.I think I got everything going and accepted the results and I am happy with the results. The system runs well and records my events like they advertise. As a former data network engineer, I tend to make things do their highest expectations and Reolink is up to the challenge. I submitted tickets to support and their response was immediate. Sandy with Reolink stayed on top with communication reports to me.I thank her for her support which made the issue better.I recommend the NVR and cameras for your needs.**********************************************************************************************************************I used a server type program but the recording was first come first serve. I decided to try the REOLINK NVR. Setting it up was not easy. First be sure you have a VGA m/m cable and monitor on hand. I suppose I did not see or read that it was required for set up. Also accessing the main NVR screen cannot be remotely accessed. This means I have visit the NVR directly to make system changes which is a hassle if you are not in the same building.uThe app for IOS products is very limited and has issues with display of cameras.The IOS app is fickle and sometimes needs deleting the NVR and then to adding it back so that all cameras can display.I hope as I get to know the system better it will make me happy.The cost and number of ports I needed serves my needs. I have been buying Reolink cameras for about 5 years now and like the cameras a lot.

System works pretty good with the exception that you can read car license plates in front of house. Tech support is very responsive and helpful.

Update,It’s been over a week, I was told countless times to do all kind of manual firmware updates including NVR and cameras but each update file they sent me or I downloaded from their website were all not recognized by its own system and appeared error, and then they would tell me to reset the cameras, i was up and down the ceiling and roof to take the cover of and reset the camera whole week still nothing fixed. Finally they offer me refund, after I agreed with refund they won’t refund but asking if I wanna try another troubleshooting or replacement. I wish those whole thing was a joke. They should pay me my time and send me compensation!Also their support team are based in China so no one ever reply or call me during the day. What do i do when they send me messages in the middle of the night???————First, the NVR does not recognize some of its own newer model of Reolink cameras, and after contacting their support I was told I have to do a firmware update manually even my setting is Automatically update.And then some of camera settings just keep goes back to default setting 3 seconds after I saved my new setting. So very frustrating. Again after connecting their support I was told again that I have to do a manually firmware updates even the setting is automatically updated firmware.if it updates smoothly then fine but errors errors errors. I have never had any POE camera systems that have so many errors and issues initially and required manually software updates even I bought them brand new.

A good buy for the price and quality cant beat it.

Easy setup ready to go
