Nice , But I need one with Great night vision at least for 50 feet or farther!! Any idea’s ??
I need to put that thing on my flag pole
I ordered 2 of these and believe the new update has auto tracking.
Based on your review, I was actually going to purchase this camera. Having a question about this camera, I telephoned Riolink. I received a recording to go to their FAQs. Too bad, looks like I’ll be purchasing Ring Floodlights. They always answer. For the record, the time now is 1:00pm (PST) on Thursday.
Hello, your videos have been a great help, we are building a new house. Question is, can I mount that camera on the inside of a window shooting out?
I want you to do a versus Lorex 360 camera versus Reolink 360
Can you view it on a PC?
From saudi 👍
I love your reviews, but just FYI. Reolink updated the firmware for this camera on December 29, 2022 that allows auto tracking.
G’day, I have the RLC-823A that works verry well. I am on a corner block and have too much passing activity on footpath and road so the auto track gets to muchof a work out. The 16x would be usefull when the natives get restless. The local police think my footage is amongst the best that they get.I can only imagine what more the 16x has.
Could you do a compraison between 823-A 5x at full optical zoom with full digital zoom using the NVR, then use the 16x and show at what point it starts giving a closer image?
I would like to be able to get fair images at about 200m.
That zoom is Sickkkkkk nice lol
I liked that you supplemented distance info to the palm tree using your rangefinder, small things like these add value in assessing the product. Thanks.
Thanks for the review. I have 3 of these and my one issue is the auto focus at max zoom it doesn’t focus correctly and I need to adjust it manually to get the best results. I’m working with support to see if this can be fixed as my cameras are badly off focused at max view (VERY blurry) that being said once that issue is fixed I’d say the only upgrade needed for this would be not only PT for tricky but true PTZ for tracking. I hope they offer this option in a future update as I feel the video quality is awesome and would be even more awesome with good auto focusing and zoom tracking. Thanks for the review 🙂
Trash
excellent video quality, even at night where most fail
hopefully they will come out with a motion tracking version. that would save a lot on how many cameras needed to cover the corners of the house.
Yeah what kind of Wi-Fi you got cause those notifications are coming so bad
This is a nice video …as always …lots of info ,thanks 👍
There’s no one in my neighborhood remotely even worth spying on, mostly a much of old people. If anything I want something with negative zoom. LOL
This might be the clearest security camera ever
I have these cameras and they are great. I bought them when they first came out for pre order. At first the tracking was not available but there was a firmware update that enabled them to track. It will follow you around so the tracking is awesome.
Have you heard anything about the Reolink E1 outdoor PoE? Patiently waiting it’s release…
Will the mount fit a standard US 1-gang or even 2-gang outlet box? If not, any mount suggestions for stucco? Great job, as always.
AUDIO AND VISUAL IS GOOD AND ZOOM IS INSANE ! if it had A.i Tracking ill be all over it… ill wait for that update
Wow! That camera seems amazing!
Zoom in on the bandit. Bummer it has no tracking and led. Only if Eufy flood has this in it haha. Can you test if this camera can hook up to other nvr and pc?
I have been waiting for someone to review this camera.
It’s noisy af, firstly. And yes, your neighbors will hate you.
Ah Pare I see you’re still invested in Unifi. Please do more reviews on them!
Looks like a great business camera.
I want one but only when it goes on sale
You said you have to create a password for the camera. Does that mean every reolink camera has a password instead of just 1 password for the app?
I have updated the firmware and now it has Auto Tracking -> https://youtu.be/XRLxV8YqJQA
Am I the first one watching this video?
Do you have a step by step video on how to properly update the Reolink NVR security cameras? Thanks you
Interesting.
Area 51 much!!!???
Is there a better version by them? This is a good review man. Thank you
I’m not very handy, and not gonna be able to install wired or Poe cameras myself. Where do you all find people to install them for you ?
Great review, thank you!
Thanks L.H.
Awesome device if you have acres of land and definitely place of business 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
It was updated the end of December 2022 I believe. Updated firmware allows motion tracking. Motion tracking seems better than 823A
💐👍🌹👏💐
No motion tracking, and audio quality is poor. Still waiting for another solution…

Wow
Your job is not to consider how the people is going to use it, your job is to review it.
