REOLINK4K Dual-Lens Floodlight Security Camera, Outdoor PoE IP Camera with 180° Ultra-Wide Angle, 1800 Lumen Floodlight, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Two Way Talk, Waterproof, Duo Floodlight PoE

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.

This is the favorite of my reolink cameras. I love the field of view. Detection seems good but for flying insects at night.About reolink in general: after tinkering with all sorts of cameras, focusing back on reolink and their NVRs is what has worked out best. I have them working without issue at two sites and can easily access both sets at any time.Areas for improvement: filtering of insect movement at night. Video playback in their phone and desktop apps isn't as intuitive as it should be.

When shopping for a POE security camera, I was looking for a one which has wide range of integrations. Being a Home assistant user for years, Reolink name was not unknown to me. The price vs features are appealing.One camera that covers 180 degreePOEGreat flood lightExcellent NVR integrationVery acceptable picture qualityHave been using for few months and I have very positive experience so far. One of the cameras stopped working ( flood light ), the replacement process was very smooth.Where it can improve with software updates:Better AI detection. Ring cameras have better AI.Needs better integration with Google.Mobile notifications needs to have image/ video preview. This is something very important and I hope Reolink will update their software soon.

easy installation and set up

Purchased this mainly for the flood light but the camera quality is pretty good for what it is. I haven’t had any issues with it such as lag and it provides a good value for the money.

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.
