ORIGINAL REVIEW: I had this camera installed for about 9 months and it worked as represented. I installed it myself, and found the set-up to be relatively simple. I had the camera indoors to recharge and in the process, the cable got hot and the camera went permanently dead - apparently the battery shorted out. I contacted their customer service and got an immediate response from "Lewis," a service rep in Florida. He gave me instructions to ship the camera back to him and sent me a new one - no questions asked. I expect the new camera to arrive in a few days. I was pleasantly surprised to have such hassle-free customer service on a relatively inexpensive item.UPDATE - while I did get the replacement camera as promised, I was also invited to become a "professional reviewer" with the promise of "free" items if I wrote good reviews of them. I was supposed to purchase the item and I would be reimbursed. It didn't smell right to me, so I did not respond. My replacement camera is working okay so far, but if it fails I won't try for another replacement. I think it's probably better to buy from a known and reputable company.

This Reolink brand POE camera requires a 48V power injector.i'm a newbie with POE and have two Wi-Fi extended access points, each of which came with their own POE power injector.Silly me, i tried this Reolink POE camera with one of these two POE power injectors, then wondered why the app didn't recognize the camera; the other POE power injectors were both 24V, which didn't power the Reolink camera enough.Anyway, we ordered a 48V power injector and now the camera functions perfectly.i don't have an NVR, so i am just using the SD card (up to 256GB) for data storage.There are 2 separate lenses that combine into 1 image, which is very wide and excellent quality.There's a notification sent to your Reolink app on your phone upon movement, and a two-way communication so you can talk with someone by the camera.The siren and spotlight feature upon motion detection is great if you are trying to deter intruders.And since it's powered by POE, there's no fears of running down the battery; there is No battery!i like the AI human detection feature, since we get lots of false alarms on our security cameras.The camera is IP66 (ingress protection), so it can function well in All weather environments.Overall, this is a powerful POE camera with good image and convenient notification system that will watch over your home for you.i am very pleased with this camera; one of the very best ones we have.it records 24/7.i love this security camera also because it has a very wide angle.i definitely give it 5 stars.i hope this review is helpful.Sabiene :)

So this camera is a little hard to review, mostly because you have to keep in mind how much you actually pay vs the quality you get. To me this camera is 100% worth the price that you pay. Is it a GoPro, no its not, but the performance exceeds the cost. The notification volume is the only thing that is SUPER annoying and almost makes it not usable. I wear this camera on a motorcycle helmet, any slight noise and you can't hear the camera operations at all (ie camera turning on/off or starting/stopping recording). The GoPro I could be riding down the freeway at 80mph and hear it when the battery died or the memory card was full.CONS-Memory card is inside the battery department, you have to take the battery out to get to it ANNOYING-Notifications are SUPER quite, almost non existant.. Makes it super hard to tell what your camera is doing if you can't see the screen or LED-My first unit had a bad WiFi/Bluetooth BoardPROSReally good video qualityReally good picture quality, even when cropped at 1000% zoomNewest firmware allows voice commands through the camera2.7k video with EISAbove average battery life

Personally, I have a passion for photography. I'm not trying to get a really high quality a camera and if you're getting a camera for the first time, I think this is perfect. I'm actually planning on buying this one because one of my friends has it. She allowed me to try it and I took a few pictures and got the hang of it in around 10 minutes.I'm a newbie and I guess that means that you probably won't pay as much attention to this review. But, trust me, this camera is beyond amazing in every way possible. It's easy, smart, and it makes all your photos look professional. I especially like the high definition and perfection it brings to every picture.A lot of people might say it's a bad camera because of a few bad experiences. I have used this camera few times and I have never had a complaint. You just have to give it a few minutes and explore the menu, the settings, and try it out on a few random things before you can actually take it out and start using it for events and other activities.Most people probably don't know how to set the camera for certain indoor and outdoor conditions such as darkness, bright lighting, dim lighting, close shots, far shots, landscapes, etc. I think that's the main reason people might complain about this camera.Don't get me wrong, I am no expert when it comes to photography. I'm just starting off, But, honestly, as much as i have used this camera, this camera is heaven to any beginner.Additional notes:Check out the buttons. Easy navigation right at your fingertips :DI couldn't stress this enough: THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME!

Just got this today and tested it right away. I am happy with this camera. It has met my expectations so far. This is the third camera I have tried recently and each model I move up is even better. By far, you can see the improvements to the EIS and MIC. You will need to use 60fps to get the best video if you have any movements to maintain best quality. I tested the following resolution with EIS on and off (1080p120 does not have EIS, but was good picture anyway).4k60 - good video4k30 - good video if not moving camera much1080p120 - good video (No EIS available)1080p60 - best setting for this camera in my opinion and looks goodPROS - Wolfang product customer service has been excellent to me. Very good value with features and accessories. EIS has improved over other model cameras I tried.CONS - I wish you could open battery case and usb port without removing mounting adapter. It is slightly in the way.Overall, I think this is a good camera for the price and a entry level camera for the general enthusiast.This will be my main camera when I go fishing from now on.

Good: I like the fact it was a very easy install. Quality far exceeded my expectations. The camera definitely sees well both in the day and night. The fact you also get 7 days of cloud storage is a great selling feature. Motor controls with the app from my phone are fairly seamless. The quality is between 720p or 1080p so actually decent.The bad: it’s advertised as a PTZ camera. The reality is it only has a digital zoom which is why I gave 4 stars. Digital zoom is not the same as optical and it shows. This prevents gathering more details from the environment. So as long as you don’t mind a open view with less detail then this would be fine. But if your hoping to capture a license plate of a car coming up your drive way then you will be disappointed. The other thing that is a bit confusing is the detection on this camera is really sensitive. In order to unlock an AI feature that focuses on a defined area to prevent getting notifications every time a leaf flies in front of the camera you are behind a paywall to upgrade to the premium cloud service. This in my opinion should be included with the default camera functionality. Then it would make sense if you want to upgrade to longer cloud storage for a premium price.Overall: it’s a decent PT camera for the price. There is room for improvement for the feature set and included options. If you need an inexpensive camera for your home or business you could certainly do worse than this. It is a good buy for this price point maybe even the best for the value you get. The cloud storage is a very nice addition.To the manufacturer: Drop the paywall for the AI focus and add optical to the camera to make it a true PTZ camera. Do that and you will leave the competition in the dust with this nice little camera!!

I've tested several other outdoor security cameras before but this is the first cordless battery-powered camera I've used.At first, I was skeptical about the idea of a battery-powered camera at first, but I've been testing this one for a couple of months and have not had to recharge it yet.I don't every anticipate being away from home for more than a month, so the benefit of the easy setup of a wireless camera outweighed the fact that I will have to charge it periodically.Also, this camera has a compact lightweight design which made it much easier to mount in different places, which also takes advantage of the mobility offered from being wireless.I tested the camera indoors and outdoors. The motion-detection worked very well to take pictures when something moved in front of the camera.As far as picture quality, the colors seemed a bit washed out, but for security purposes, I could clearly make out objects in contrast even with night vision.To top it all off, the camera has the easiest-to-use mobile app, I have found thus far. By default, it sent me alerts too often, but I think that's personal choice based on what you want to track and how often/when you want to be alerted (when you're at home versus when you're away from home) which are all options you can customize.If someone has wanted to get an outdoor security camera but has been putting it off due the the seeming hassle of a wired setup, the think this wireless camera provides the ideal, easy, out-of-the-box solution as long as you are able to charge the camera regularly when needed.

The illustration pics are misleading. I've used this camera for two months and I still haven't gotten a picture of a lion or zebra.Seriously, it's a decent value for the price. You can find better cameras, but you'll pay twice as much. The description originally said this was a no glow camera when I made the purchase, but they corrected it when I contacted Amazon. I was offered the opportunity to return this camera, but opted to keep it. I'm still pleased with the purchase.It uses 850nm LEDs for the night vision, putting it in the "low glow" category. You won't see it lighting up the area, but it when looking at the camera it is obvious when the LEDs are on. People and animals will definitely notice if they are looking towards the camera. That's not entirely bad. I have a close-up video of a very curious opossum checking out my camera. The deer it has photographed so far have ignored the camera. I wouldn't recommend it for security as the faint glow says "come steal the camera" to anyone with ill intent. The price is low enough that I'm not too concerned about the few people who casually walk by it in the woods.Picture quality is about as expected. A little snowy in low light conditions, moderately good dynamic range. Something close to the flash is bright and almost washed out an everything farther back is dark, so make sure there are no leaves or branches near the camera or you won't see much beyond that. Don't point it towards the rising or setting sun if you have a clear horizon, or you won't get usable daylight photos for those hours. Daylight pics are pretty good when the lighting is uniform. Night pictures are acceptable when the subject is between 1-20 yards away from the camera.
