REOLINK 4K Outdoor Plug-in Security Camera, Smart Detection, E1 Outdoor Pro | No Subscription Local Storage, Wi-Fi 6, 3X Optical Zoom, Auto Tracking, Spotlight, Smart AI Detection, Color Night Vision

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

The Pro is definitely an upgrade in clarity from the standard version but still not good enough to read license plates or see faces clearly from my house to the road. Now I wonder if I should have gone for the 16MP version. I’ve seen a bunch of users say it takes forever to get the Wi-Fi connected in initial setup, I was having the same issue. Top Tip: connect the camera via a LAN cable to your network to get it initialized and fully set up, then switch it to Wi-Fi. This works every time for me in a minute or two. The APP isn’t the greatest so I hope they are planning upgrades in the future. Overall, solid cameras. Just do your research on the feature you really want and spend the money one time, than upgrade later at additional cost.

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

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.

An incredibly feature-rich surveillance camera. The more I play with it, the more useful features I discover. My one complaint would be the inconsistency of the Reolink app on different platforms, in my case Windows 11 PC, Android Phone and Android Tablet. Obvious features are missing or present on the app depending on the device I am using. I am forced to try all 3 devices to see which one gives me the feature I need. If I only had the Reolink app on one device, a lot of the rich potential would be lost. Also, please know that the MicroSD card is not included with the camera, and without it, the feature list is very limited, so plan on another $40 or so. Other than that, the best camera I have tried. After a week of usage, I now have to emphasize the inconsistency of the Reolink app across platforms. The Windows app is intuitive and usable. The Android phone app is awkward but usable. The Android tablet app is a bug-ridden abomination. Like many great hardware devices, it is degraded by a crappy, inconsistent app.
