REOLINK Video Doorbell PoE Camera – 2K IP Security Camera Outdoor with Chime V2, 4:3 Aspect Ratio, 180 Degree Diagonal, 2-Way Talk, Plug & Play, Secured Local Storage, No Monthly Fee

High-Quality Video & Privacy — The Perfect PoE Doorbell
I really like that this is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) unit. We already had a Cat6 cable running to the front door, so installation was incredibly easy and the connection is rock solid. The included chime works perfectly as well, making it a complete out-of-the-box solution.The camera works very well, and I have absolutely no complaints regarding the video quality; it’s sharp and clear. One of the best features is the ability to store video on-premises instead of paying a company a monthly fee to store it for me. I’ve always been concerned with privacy when a third party has access to my video, so local storage is a huge win.For those looking to take things to the next level, this doorbell easily incorporates into Home Assistant. This allows for advanced camera automations you may not get with more “locked-down” brands.

Connect to your NVR through NVIF, great system with lots of features at good price
This is the POE version, not wifi. Some basics- for poe, you need to wire the doorbell using Cat 6 cable to an nvr or injector. If you don’t know what that is, hire someone to do the wiring and figure out which nvr to buy. If you want home security with nvr capabilities, i.e. many cameras, secure recording to a hard disk, etc. then become familiar with nvr and wired cameras. POE cameras simply mean one Cat 6 cable is used to both power the camera and send its signals to the NVR. Older systems use two cables.So, if you are in the right place and you have a POE Cat 6 cable at your door, this camera is terrific. I had a professional do the wiring and sell me an NVR and 4 cameras plus a doorbell. NVR and cameras are from Dahua. Doorbell was from Aukvox. The latter was very sophisticated, could unlock two locks remotely, had provision for a security card, etc. But its night vision was zero even with infrared, its motion detection was zero and you could only hear but not talk back. Good for business maybe, not residence. $500 device useless to me as a homeowner/residence. Wanted service fee of $175 to come out each time and tinker with it. Had enough and bought this POE reolink.Installed it and it has great night vision and motion detection, 2 way intercom, great features.The rub is how to install it so it shows up on my nvr monitor? It has NVIF capability and my Dahua nvr has nvif ability as well so I gave it a shot. Bought it from Amazon because they have a great return policy and if I was not able to set it up I would return it.The reolink support documents did not help. I did not bother to call tech support. I googled Dahua nvr and Reolink POE camera how to connect and got a lot of good info that way. I will not go into all the detail. Too long already. But, they say get into the camera interface through the URL address. I got in but that didn’t help. So if you are trying to connect to nvr, you have to enable NVIF on the camera. How? Do the following on the APP, not the interface or Reolink client on the web.Go to Settings, hit the device name (first item), another screen opens Device Info, go to Network Information, then Advanced, BOOM, the screen gives you choices to enable RTMP, HTTP, HTTPS,RTSP and ONVIF. I enabled them all.Plug the camera into POE. The NVR will now be able to add the camera to its list of cameras. Add camera, initialize, do whatever your nvr manual says to do and it will appear in your phone app as well along with all your other cameras. When you add it, you will have to enter username and pw. I am skipping the nvr steps. Figure those out.I see some negative reviews here but I am very satisfied with it. You also have to pair the chime. My old battery chime ate batteries every 3 months. This is plug in and quite loud with choice of rings.Overall, one week later, very happy. Lets see how it performs over time.

スマホを使いReolinkアプリでどこからでも通話ができます🤙（もちろんインターホンの映像も見れます）非常に便利。遅延は確かにあるけれど、そこまで気になりません。PoE最高！！

I purchased this camera on august 09, 2023. It has an excellent 2K+ picture and lots of great features. I really like its ability to store my videos on a FTP server. The video storage is limited only by the hard disk storage on my server. I don’t have to pay for cloud storage and I already had several computers to use as a FTP server. My neighbour pays a monthly fee for his storage. I was worried that it wouldn’t survive the harsh Newfoundland winters. It worked fine during winter of 2023 but began to fog up last winter. We get a lot of freeze thaw cycles and a lot of wind rain and snow. I couldn’t really fault the camera. I also have two Reolink RLC-810A 4K cameras with the same features and they have been working great through two winters. I got in contact with Reolink support and they were good enough to send me a replacement camera. I installed it today and it works great. Overall I am quite pleased with my Reolink cameras. When I need another camera I’ll definitely purchase another one from Reolink. The cameras and support are top notch. Thank you Reolink.

This has the best 2 way audio i have ever experienced on a doorbell. I have it on a noisy street, and I have previously used Nest, Logitech, Ring (their most expensive model which was PoE), and Eufy. Nothing compares in terms of audio – its almost like as if it is a phone call with no background noise.
