REOLINK RLC-830A - 4K PTZ PoE Camera System, Outdoor IP Security Camera, 355° Pan & 90° Tilt, Smart Detection, Auto-Tracking,Secured Local Storage, Color Night Vision

The media could not be loaded. Good viewing angle and the app makes it easy to look back at events. Does a good job of automatically marking people, animals and vehicles. Works well with the rest of my REOLINK cameras. The setup is a breeze just open the app and scan the QR code. Power and data over a single Ethernet cable makes it easy to setup and not prone to WiFi attacks

It has a home position that it will go to (if setup) after a predetermined timeI can easily see my driveway and anyone coming to my front door.I preset several positions that the camera will point to with the touch of a screen/click of the mouseAfter ## (user changeable) seconds of me not adjusting the camera, it goes back to the monitor positionIt does not auto track people or movementThe mount is set for wall or ceiling, it does work mounted to a ceiling which would seem to be the ideal mount for this style of camera.I can easily monitor this with the REOLink App on my phone, tablet or from the REOLink NVR itself.

First, the NVR does not recognize some of its own newer model of Reolink cameras, and after contacting their support I was told I have to do a firmware update manually even my setting is Automatically update.And then some of camera settings just keep goes back to default setting 3 seconds after I saved my new setting. So very frustrating. Again after connecting their support I was told again that I have to do a manually firmware updates even the setting is automatically updated firmware.if it updates smoothly then fine but errors errors errors. I have never had any POE camera systems that have so many errors and issues initially and required manually software updates even I bought them brand new.

Really nice Reolink product. Does exactly as it says. It tracks movement of desired objects like people. It will adjust both range and height to capture object with auto focus. Then no activity resets to Home position programmed. Nice feature is no out of range objects get past the camera as it will move with the object to keep it in view adjusting even height. Then it waits for the object to reappear before returning to Home position.Largest complaint? The audio microphone can not be adjusted for sensitivity. It is very sensitivity and will pickup faint noises near it or behind it even with physical object blocking noises. A whisper can be heard. Not a large issue and easily offset by the other great features it offers.

I purchased this camera as a PTZ for the front of my home. I was unable to mount it in the desired location due to the mounting bracket and the requirement for significant renovation to the desired mounting location. Changed location to rear of home in patio area made it much easier to install. Have identified multiple animals around the house including skunks. Camera does follow detected animals and people until they are out of view then we'll return to a user-defined monitoring point. Unit is susceptible to false alerts with fog and likely with heavy rain and snow but I haven't seen that yet. Is an excellent purchase for the money but does need better mounting options.

For the price, this camera is ok, but the audio is poor, tinny, hollow, echo's terribly and marginally usable. I've purchased multiple units of this model & this poor audio is not limited to a single camera. Reolink also needs to take a deep dive into their TCP/IP functionality. Cameras do not reliably connect for remote viewing either from the mobile app or Windows client. This persistent failure is not related to a particular internet provider, as I have tested across multiple vendors. When connected to the same WLAN, cameras will "generally" connect successfully using the mobile app but when viewing via the Windows client on another PC, there is a 90% failure rate. Multiple installations using NVR's or standalone cameras experience identical issues.... Remote access is hit & miss!!

Uses either PoE -OR- a 12-v converter directly into a lead on the camera - The latter fact was not clear in the description.I'm very satisfied with the picture quality - but in the HIGH res mode, there are periodic frame drops - not too irritating though.I had a little trouble with motion detection settings - I might find a better balance of the various settings, but I am recording a lot of rain videos. ;^)I will buy another one - exactly the same model. That's a great endorsement because I use a lot of various brands and models.

Easy to set up on server. Nice picture
