4K Outdoor Plug-in WiFi 6 Security Camera, PTZ Camera for Home Security, Wi-Fi 6 New Tech, Motion Tracking, Smart Detection, 3X Optical Zoom, Motion Spotlight, Local Storage, E1 Outdoor Pro

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are for cause this is a VERY high quality product. I was expecting some cheap Chinese garbage for the price but everything about it says otherwise. The fit and finish is really high quality and it has lots of little details like rubber feet for indoor use. You can really tell they put of a lot of thought and care into the design process. Also the company does some really cool stuff you don't normally see in modern electronics: You DON'T need an email to create an account to use the camera which is really really appreciated. It just works so easily with the app. And it gives a lot of nice info like bitrate and such, but only if you go to advanced options which is nice. Also the image quality is really good. It has all the features I wanted: (optical zoom (not just digital), outdoor weather-proof, very easy to use, 4k, wifi 6!, 360degree motion, can look above horizontal, not just at the ground,and best of all no subscription service!!!

I have tried many cameras over the years and originally was told that these won't work with BlueIris but later found out they do. I have switched almost all my older cameras over to these now. I wish the optical zoom was more but otherwise happy with the quality, connection and value. These are pretty easy to setup and with the app on the computer or phone can be easily adjusted. I have realized that if I set the presets in the camera app and then import them into BlueIris this seems to work better. I had issues of setting the preset in BlueIris especially the zoom. There are several models PEO, Wireless, and several different resolutions. I made the mistake twice of buying one that I thought was the same and a good price just to find out it wasn't and was lower image quality or didn't have optical zoom etc. I wish the naming of these was better so you knew exactly what you were getting without having to look through all the specs.

I use two REOLINK E1 Outdoor Pro cameras to monitor my garden — one for nighttime rat incursions and the other for daytime birdwatching, and they both perform flawlessly. The 4K resolution is crystal clear, even in infrared at night, and the motion tracking easily picks up rodents or any unexpected visitors around my raised beds. During the day, I stream both cameras live to observe the birds, especially the hummingbirds at the feeders. They’re surprisingly curious about the cameras and will hover right in front of them without fear, offering amazing close-up views. The 3X optical zoom and wide pan/tilt give me excellent control over what I see, and the smart detection filters out noise so I only get alerts when it matters. The Wi-Fi 6 support is a huge bonus — even on a crowded network, both cams stream smoothly with no lag or dropouts. Local storage works great, and there’s no forced subscription, which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a versatile, high-quality camera for security or nature monitoring, this is it. I loved the first one so much I immediately bought another. Reolink nailed it.

Good camera. More reliable than the solar ones as far as tracking and recording.

Edit: Two years later and these cameras still work well. I really love the Timelapse feature. See my video. Was looking at something to improve on my ring setup at home. Wanted something with better definition and where I had more control over the video, storage, and overall quality. Not to mention the other cameras I have are really troublesome for connecting to my home network. I got this set up late today, but loving it so far. I coupled it with a 256 Gb Micro SD card and have the settings up at 8MP 4k. I even got it set up on my home FTP server to upload the files there every 10 minutes automatically for a backup. Pros - Price - Great image quality even over Wi-Fi - Adjustable from video settings, to notification settings, to storage settings. - Quick to connect and easy to set up Cons - Doesn’t always respond to pan/tilt commands right away or sometimes needs multiple presses to register, however, this is less of an issue in fluent mode (low bitrate stream view) - I wash the camera was a bit better at getting true-to life video coloration in auto mode - Was also a pro, lots of customizability, so if you want the easiest interface this is not it, however, most things are intuitive and easy to learn inside of a half hour—and you’ll want to play with them. - Only 3x zoom… but at this price point, that is more than fair considering others in this price range have zero optical zoom. Ultimately, I’m very satisfied. I wish I had more money to try some of Reolink’s other products. Maybe one of these days. I would say for the price and quality of the image you get, as well as the ease-of use and setup, it’s hard to imagine a better buy at $105 than this PTZ camera. Also a prior reviewer was using the video arrows for playback of a recorded video not the pan/titl/zoom function which explains why he couldn’t move the camera.

It has a very wide viewing area. Images at night are a bit dull. Overall a good camera.

I think these cameras are great! I’ve installed 4 of them so far. I wanted POE because there was no power where they’re installed. They have great picture and were straight forward to setup.

The camera is feature full without a need to pay a subscription. Great quality and awesome price.

I have this camera mounted above my front door and really like how it can identify people and animals, seperate from basic motion. Our house is well elivated from the road, and the PTZ feature lets me swivel it around and look out over the neighbourhood and roadway. Update - I've now bought a 2nd one of these to cover a different part of my property. Really like this camera!

Initial Impressions: This is a great little camera ! Wanted to add a camera, but didn't want to introduce my aging NVR to 12MP. This thing works great indoors too, with 3x optical and auto tracking, I might have to consider one for indoors. A must to consider. I don't think any other members of the E1 family have this wired Ethernet capability. BIG notice though. The Ethernet port is awesome to take devices off WiFi, but its Ethernet only. Not POE. So, its not a substitution for an existing POE camera. Gotta run power. That's about it for my initial impressions. Very satisfied for my needs.
