REOLINK 4K PTZ Security Camera System, 360 Degree View PoE Camera with 16X Optical Zoom for Outdoor Surveillance, Auto Tracks Human/Vehicle/Pet, Two-Way Talk, 260ft IR Night Vision, RLC-823A 16X

Best 4K image quality PTZ camera out there. Without zooming in, you can read street signs from 170 feet away. There's so much detail. It's the best camera I have purchased. Night quality is great. Infrared lights go very far and are very bright at night. Insane zoom capabilities. You'll get the best image of any person or car with ease. PTZ is quick, going from multiple presets, zoomed in as well. Focus is fast compared to the 811a. Sound quality is the best out of the Reolink cameras I have tested. Anyone shooting guns in your area sounds great, and no shots are muffled like other cameras. Motion detection works best as well, and notifications come in very reliably. Tracking works well enough, but when zoomed all the way in, it works less effectively. The camera's live viewing image quality is very good. The PC and Android apps work reliably. Mounting the camera was simple, and the strong mounts help it stay secure. I recommend mounting it high off the ground, as it can be stolen easily and quickly with a screwdriver. I do have issues with playback always buffering half the time. Downloading video footage from playback and live viewing is great on a PC, but Android playback download is limited to 120 seconds. Using it without an NVR is a huge plus; plug in a microSD card, then connect to a PoE switch, and it works. This is the best camera overall that I own, and nothing compares to it. The police love the image quality and sound.

Dear Reolink TeamI hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback regarding your products and serviceI have been using Reolink cameras for 1 year, and overall, I am very satisfied with their performance. The image quality is excellent, providing clear and detailed footage, which is crucial for my security needs. I also appreciate the user-friendly interface of the mobile app, making it easy to monitor my property remotelyHowever, I have encountered a few issues that I believe could enhance the user experience.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to seeing how Reolink continues to improve and innovate in the futureBest regardsArmando

When the camera is in focus it looks pretty good. Unfortunately it spends WAY more time out-of-focus! It rarely follows objects, and when it does it prioritizes distant objects over nearby objects, which are more often that not... out-of-focus. I've tried three copies of the camera, and they all behave in the exact same way. The zoom, however, looks great! (when it's in-focus) I would NOT buy this camera again!

The media could not be loaded. This Reolink camera was easy to setup. I mounted this under my deck for a commanding view of my entire backyard and more. The 16X optical zoom works fine and it is fast. The main problem is sometimes it will not focus when the zoom is changed. I have found that pressing the zoom "+" or "-" buttons brings it back into focus. My camera has been on for 6 months plus and has never shut down on it's own. I know that lesser quality Reolink security camera will "lock up" and the only way to get it back is to recycle power. The video is works fine for my needs. The included video was taken 70 feet from camera to bird feeder. The photos that it produces are good, but do need cleaned up and sharpened with image software. The main concern that I have is the way the camera "hangs" on the bracket. I do not like this at all. Also, 3 screws are included to secure the camera to the bracket and if you lose one, well, they are metric. You do not get a spare. I will most likely purchase one more of these since they are much better quality than the lower priced units.

I waited a long time and kept coming back to this camera over and over again because it is fairly pricey but it is a true PTZ with 16x optical zoom. Yes I can read the time on the clock…It was priced reasonably so could the quality really be as good as what I’ve been reading online? YESI’m glad I waited as I don’t think I would’ve appreciated it as much if I got in it sooner the quality is amazing for both a picture and the build quality for the camera and I’m very glad I made the purchaseIt is great addition to my set up for my house as I have not only for view of my backyard, but I can scan and look at the lake as well as details on my dock.If you have a need for a PTZ camera in your set up, I would not hesitate to purchase this camera. Just make sure that you have a sturdy mounting location as this camera needs a very sturdy mount. It has some weight to it and it does move (which is why you bought it).Would I buy this camera again? Absolutely without hesitation.Don’t let the cost concern you as you do get which pay for and it is a true full functioning PTZ camera that works great with the Reolink system.Take your time with not only the installation, but the set up and configuration of the camera so you can get the most out of it.The other thing to note is all of my cameras are hardwired as it gives me greater control and ease of management, so that I can do POE all of my cameras.I have my dock connected with a Ubiquiti PTP bridge.Currently, I have about 15 cameras on my set up that had full coverage of my property and couldn’t be happier.I just wish the cost of hard drives for the NVR were a little less expensive, but we can’t have everything.Take your time and do your install and setup right the first time.
