REOLINK 4K PoE Security Camera Duo Floodlight PoE, 180° Ultra-Wide Angle

Reolink has come a long way in the quality and usefulness of it's products. Over the years, they've made significant improvements to their products, and have introduced some amazing cameras and other accessories. I recommend and install Reolink for my customers who want a good camera and value for their money. For their older products, customer support has always been very helpful and has never declined to send a warranty replacement fast and free. However, I have not had to contact customer service with any issues for multiple years now, which is why I'm writing to compliment improved durability of their products. It should not go unnoticed. The security of their cameras, including doorbell cameras, are great. Smart detection has always worked really well and has only improved. Reolink has great compatibility with Google Home, Home Assistant, etc. Connectivity has always been great as long as you have a decent network. This isn't a paid review by any means. Amazon prompted me to review my past years purchases and I've placed bad reviews where they belong on products and good reviews as well. This is one of the good reviews for sure. The Floodlight camera is one of my favorite Reolink cameras. The light is bright, it's customizable, it still comes with all of the smart features and gets a full 180 degree view, and works great day or night. Would I enjoy this review getting noticed by Reolink and getting some appreciation back? Sure! But only because I really like these cameras.

In my experience, REOLINK makes some of the best consumer IP cameras on the market. I’ve tried many different camera brands over the years, and REOLINK consistently stands out from the rest. One of the first things I noticed is the build quality. These cameras don’t feel cheap or flimsy like many competitors. Right out of the box, you can tell they’re well-built and designed to last. Setup is also straightforward. After the initial installation, configuration is quick and easy using either the mobile app or desktop app. The interface is user-friendly, making it simple even for less technical users. What really sets REOLINK apart for me is its support for industry-standard IP camera protocols, including RTSP, ONVIF, RTMP, HTTP, and HTTPS. That makes integration with third-party surveillance and NVR software extremely easy, which is a major advantage for anyone who wants flexibility beyond the manufacturer’s ecosystem. For users who want reliable hardware, easy setup, and strong compatibility with third-party software, REOLINK is hard to beat.

I am very happy with this camera! The resolution and low light capability is excellent. Despite being 180° field of view, the extreme ends remain clear and undistorted. The stitching of the two videos into one is basically invisible until something gets close to the camera. I love how you do not need a cloud account to use the camera or app! I use the app on android and PC and they are both intuitive, fast, and high quality. I also appreciate the camera's ability to record to an SD card itself without a recorder. One area I think can be improved is the mount. It is currently just a metal bar that assumes you can drill holes anywhere. I had to 3D print a custom adapter so that the mounting holes were where I needed them. The camera also seems to need POE+, not just regular POE, to run both the camera and light. With regular POE I could only run the camera. I think the product listing should be updated to make that clear.

This camera sure beats running 2 wires and installing 2 different cameras. The dual-lens made it easy for me. The spotlight is extremely bright on its highest setting and can be adjusted to a lower brightness level if needed. You can even set the floodlights to smart, timed and night only modes which is pretty neat. The footage is crystal clear and the stitching to bring both lenses together is darn near perfect! This camera was my longest wire run and I haven't had any signal drops at all (only been a few hours since the install lol). The sound is clear and loud enough as well. My only complaint is the mount. The clip and security rope is a nice feature, but the entire back portion is open if you're mounting on vinyl siding.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The 180° view is a must have. Great for your yard or business. You can just insert a micro SD card and it saves all your recordings without any subscription. If you want something more just buy their storage device and connect it to your router and it will do the same thing. Only thing extra you have to buy is a POE. This connects between your router and the camera. You can buy one for about $20 on Amazon. It does require power for it. The motion activated flood light works great. It's bright enough to see everything and not irritate the neighbors. I will recommend this to everyone. Night vision: Works great. Camera quality: A+++ Value for money: Worth every penny. Functionality: Many options for storage and great video day/night. Connectivity: Very simple through the app. Just add the device and it does the rest. Color accuracy: Perfect. Feels lifelike.

Excellent security camera with very clear video quality. The wide view and bright floodlight cover a large area around the house. Setup with PoE was straightforward and the mobile app works well.

I wish this camera / light combo had some redeeming qualities, but it’s issues far outweigh its pluses. First of all, it’s huge - it reminds me of the motion flood lights on homes 30 years ago. If you’re looking for something which can be functional but not an eye sore and blends in, this isn’t it. Before purchasing I read a review which said the camera and lights were upside down when assembled and I thought it was just someone who didn’t read the directions or misassembled the unit. But in fact, the bracket is so poorly designed that if you try to install it any position other than wall mounted above the door then it ranges from being difficult to impossible to mount. Unlike most cameras which have several screw holes to mount the camera, this uses a hanging bracket where gravity is responsible for holding on the light and then is also secured with a single screw. The lights don’t pivot fully so it’s difficult to get them out of the view of the camera if the camera or lights need to be angled. I tried to mount the camera under my roof eves but to get the camera in the needed angle, given how it pivots, then the mounting bracket would have needed to be mounted upside down and against gravity. Although the camera comes with mounting holes on both the top and bottom to allow it to be reversed, the rest of the metal bracket’s range of motion doesn’t make that very feasible. If you’re able to get it mounted, I found the image quality poor. The camera’s attempts to stitch together the left and right lens into a single image is full of short comings. The brightness of both images was often different resulting in half of the image being more washed out. The seam in the middle of the image often didn’t align, even after using the fine tuning controls, due to things at different distances falling into a different place in the opposing angles of the camera’s view. This resulted in a fun house mirror effect in the middle of the image - at times things were duplicated when seen by both cameras at different angles and other times things would simply disappear when they reached the center line of the video. It was really trippy to see my hand missing fingers or having fingers duplicated on the screen as they passed between the view of the left and right cameras. Overall, I’d recommend saving the headaches and buying a single camera with a built in light or buying two different cameras vs trying to rely on this camera to poorly stitch its two camera angles together.

First off, you need an 802.3at (PoE++) switch to run the camera and floodlight. None of my Unifi switches would put out enough juice, so I had to get a separate power injector. Both image and video quality are fantastic, and it couples well to the reolink NVR. It can also stream to Unifi (or other DVR systems) using onvif. Installation was pretty easy. Note that the hanging bracket is a snug fit, so you might need to massage it into place just a little. I haven't quite figured out the alarm settings yet, but the IR, daylight and floodlight picture quality are all exceptional. If, like me, you're hooking this into a reolink NVR which is on your network, but you're not connecting it directly be warned: You will have to configure the IP stream using a mouse and a monitor directly connected to the NVR. The reolink phone app is free, and pretty effective. No subscription fee is required, and you'll be able to view your cameras remotely. I have not tested recording to sdcard. I replaced a regular motion sensing floodlight with this unit, and while the floodlight isn't quite as bright, the IR is so good I really don't care.

I’ve done the research and reolink is secretly an industry leader. Nothing is blocked behind a paywall or cloud service but it’s there if you want it The nvr and its web portal work completely normally with no internet connection The Reolink app for your phone has most of its functionality when you’re on the same same isolated lan Outstanding rtsp, onvif support and even has integration with home assist. These cameras in particular are shockingly bright for being just PoE and have held up for years now.

Great camera and easy to set up and use. Would recommend!

I bought this camera to find out who has been dumping the shopping trolley infront of the house. With this camera, the trolley dumper has stopped dumping the trolley infront of the house, but instead dumping the trolley a house up. The ultra ultra wide camera missed the event, to be fair it was really far wide and the culprit escaped detection. otherwise really happy with the resolution, wish it was alittle faster in detecting.

Very easy to install - instructions provided in the box were clear and concise. Great to have a template for installing screws as well. Power over ethernet has been a real win - a little more finicky to run cables through the roof but feel much more reliable than any wifi camera previously owned. Looks nice outside; a little smaller than expected which keeps it looking minimal but present enough to act as a deterrent. The light given off by floodlights is bright and a pleasing warmth, not too warm, not too cool. App is easy to use for remote viewing and turning floodlight on and off. Have one for the front and one for the back and they're working great. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade security for their home.

Significant discount off retail, functional, high quality camera. Yet to truly test LED floods.
