REOLINK Floodlight Camera, 4K Dual-Lens Outdoor Security Camera with 180 FOV, 2.4G/5GHz Dual-Band WiFi, Plug-in for Continuous Power, Not AC, Smart Detection, Color Night Vision, Duo Floodlight WiFi

Great Camera!
This camera replaced a $45 4K PTZ camera from AliExpress. It was a good camera, but didn’t show my whole driveway, the app was questionable, and human/vehicle detection simply didn’t work. This camera, on the other hand, shows my whole driveway at all times without panning, the app is great, and detection has been working stellar for me. The floodlights have been working well, and I have them turn on when it detects a human or vehicle at night. It even integrates well with Home Assistant, which was surprising. You can change all of the settings via HA, and even trigger automation when it detects a human, motion, or a vehicle. I was using my Synology NAS with this for a while and it was working fine.The downsides? Pet detection never seemed to work for me (not a big deal), I really wish this was PoE capable, there’s only one stream available via ONVIF, and the picture gets blown out when sun is hitting my vehicles and garage. The web interface doesn’t require anything weird like IE, Flash, or Silverlight, but it’s only streaming for me in low resolution (Firefox/Linux&Mac). I had to turn off hardware acceleration in the Android app for it to display a stream, so keep this in mind.

Too many false positives.
The good part:Set up was easy but you do need to hook it up to Ethernet in order to set it up.The unit is well build and quiet heavy. One of the best features is it is always recording and only save when it detects something. So when it saved, you get 20 to 30 seconds before the event.The software is limited. For example, you cannot set how long the light stay on after detection. I timed it, it stay on for 20 second if no or minimum motion is detected. Then it come back on in 5 second if motion is detected. Yes, it is being recorded.The bad:It has too many false positives. I let it running in the basement. The first night, it detected person, but no one was in the basement. Then it got worse during the day. It detected a person every 5 minutes when everyone was upstairs. It ran like this for an hour. I gave up, unplug it and send it back for return.

Bought 2. Both failed after about a year
*** EDIT/UPDATE 9/19/2024*Both cameras were still in working order The WiFi range extender that they connect to had gotten “confused” and was not accepting WiFi connections from anything. Also, one of the 120VAC to 12VDC power supplies I use had failed. My apologies, Reolink.I leave the original review text so others might troubleshoot more before returning or giving up on the device. Suggest to un-mount and plug it into your router with hardwire ethernet cable and do a factory reset (pushbutton) and re-do setup.______________________Original review follows:I ran two of these for about a year. Impressive image quality and they ran flawlessly. Until they both died within a couple of weeks of each other. Upon power on you can hear the lens shutters click, but they never boot up or make any visual or audible indication that they have powered on. I watched the footage back on BlueIris on both during the moment of failure, and there was nothing out of the ordinary going on, they just stopped streaming and never came back up.Unfortunate, and I am hesitant to purchase more or even bother with a warranty claim.

The item arrived before committed date. Happy with night vision and picture quality. But motion detection seems to be a bit lagging, particularly at night. Not sure if settings need to be tuned.
