Reolink 4K PoE CCTV Camera Outdoor with IP67 Waterproof, RLC-810A

I have nothing but praise for Reolink. After almost a year of using my RLK8-800B6 6-camera 4K PoE system, I recently added two of these Reolink RLC-810A 4K PoE cameras to expand my coverage, and I am thoroughly impressed. I bought these specifically to integrate with my existing system, and they have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment they arrived, I could tell the cameras were high quality. Delivery was fast, and the packaging was excellent, with each camera individually bagged and secured within tough polystyrene supports to prevent movement or damage during transit. The cameras are essentially identical in appearance to the ones that came with my RLK8-800B6 system, except for a tiny blue seal that is barely visible and white cables instead of black, which will be hidden once installed anyway, so it really isn’t an issue. The metal housings have a smooth white powder coating, giving a professional look while ensuring durability against the weather. The lenses are large and provide a broad viewing angle, allowing me to cover even more of my front and back gardens with clarity I never thought possible. Adding the RLC-810A cameras to my existing RLK8-800B6 system was effortless. Using CAT6 PoE cables, each camera only needed one connection for both power and data. Connectivity has been flawless. The cameras link seamlessly to my existing system, and I have experienced no dropouts or interruptions, even over longer cable runs. The system auto-detects new cameras quickly, making integration simple and reliable. Within seconds of plugging them into the NVR, the new cameras were live and fully integrated with my existing setup. The Reolink app, available on both Android and Apple iOS, immediately recognised the cameras and allowed me to adjust all settings, view live feeds, and manage recordings. I love how everyone in my household can access the system on their phones. Once you pay for the system, that is it. There are no hidden costs and no subscription fees, although cloud storage is available if you prefer. The performance of these cameras is outstanding. The 4K Ultra HD video is crisp, sharp, and full of detail. The smart human and vehicle detection works flawlessly, drastically reducing false alerts from animals or moving branches. Night vision is remarkable, and I can clearly see across my entire garden even in complete darkness. These cameras also support audio recording, which is a welcome addition. I have positioned one above my front door and one above the back door, and the audio clarity is excellent. This feature gives me the confidence to hear anyone approaching clearly, adding an extra layer of security. The red IR lights act as a visible deterrent, adding an extra layer of security. Like my previous system, the RLC-810A cameras come with a two-year warranty, which I was able to extend by six months for free simply by registering online. This gives added peace of mind and shows Reolink’s commitment to customer satisfaction. These cameras have proven to be highly reliable. They integrate seamlessly with my existing system, run consistently without issue, and withstand all weather conditions. Expanding my setup with the RLC-810A cameras has been a smooth process, and I could not be happier with the results. Reolink’s quality and attention to detail continue to impress, and the system remains easy to use and highly dependable. If you are considering expanding your Reolink system, the RLC-810A cameras are an excellent choice. They are durable, feature-rich, and integrate effortlessly with existing 4K PoE setups. I am delighted with the increased coverage, the clear audio, and the enhanced security they provide. Reolink continues to earn my loyalty, and I would recommend these cameras to anyone looking to improve or expand their home or small business security system. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

I'm extremely happy with this camera. The setup is very straight forward and I'm glad I went for a POE of camera Software is easy to use and much better than other cameras. The image is excellent in daylight and at night. I'm also very impressed with the motion recognition such as cars, people, pets etc Highly recommended

Purchased to test out the new motion person and vehicle detection. Its a nice upgrade to the B800 with 5fps increase which makes a large difference as well as a SD card slot. For the price its really good, faster cpu. the second sub stream is still low quality but overall works fine with blue iris The motion detection is still not reliable and i would advise to NOT use this as you will miss out on a lot of motion events OR you will end up recording too many. Sticking with standard motion detection is the best

Works fine with Synology Surveillance Station but there are some things that need to be done first. 1. 4K streaming requires Synology's H265 codecs to set the camera to use H265, otherwise all you will get is a poor quality low resolution stream ("Fluent") in H264. These can be installed via Synology's media extension package but they also need a second stage of installation via your Synology Account. I clicked on this last option but nothing happened - it turned out there was a pop-up that my browser was blocking. Unblocking it fixed that and installation could be completed. The server should then be rebooted. 2. While I could access the camera via its IP address in Reolink's software installed on my PC, Surveillance Station could not detect it, even though the camera was listed in Surveillance Station's camera list. Didn't work as Onvif either. I then found a number of settings buried in the network menu of Reolink's software (click on the cog symbol against RLC-810A) which were disabled by default. Go to the Advanced menu at the foot of the right hand side, where you can enable upnp/UID, and further down, Server Settings, where you can enable HTTP or HTTPS, RTSP and Onvif. Once this was done, the camera was detected by Surveillance Station and I could set it up to use H265 and stream a 3840*2160 at 8192Kbps. Picture quality is, at that resolution, unsurprisingly rather good. Viewing on a PC has to be done via Synology's standalone Monitor Centre software or Reolink's - the web browser version of the former will not display H265 and defaults to the low res "Fluent" stream, or at least does on Firefox. Synology's DS Cam looks very good on an ipad.

We’ve mounted this camera on our house to monitor our gates and front door, and it’s been fantastic. The 4K Ultra HD resolution is so clear, both during the day and at night, that we can easily see details like faces and license plates. The smart human/vehicle detection is a game-changer, as it cuts out false alarms from animals or shadows. The motion alerts are spot on, and it’s so convenient to check what’s happening right from the app. Installation was straightforward with the PoE setup – only one cable needed for power and video, which keeps things neat and simple. The built-in microphone is a great bonus, picking up ambient sounds clearly. The option to record to a microSD card or NVR gives flexibility, and the time-lapse feature is a fun extra that’s surprisingly useful for capturing events. This camera has exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for reliable home security!

Bought this to replace an old cheaper camera that had security vulnerabilities. The quality is excellent and motion detection is very flexible. Most importantly, the camera gets regular firmware updates and is supported well by Reolink. It received pet detection in a recent update which works great. Even still, as with other IoT devices I don't allow it to access the internet and use a VPN to access it remotely. The motion detection on this is excellent, to the point where I can now trust it to only record detected people & animals. That gets rid of all the other rubbish my old camera used to record (bushes moving in the wind, spider webs, rain etc). Now there's only a few videos to review in the morning. It can easily be set up to FTP videos, so no need to worry about someone taking the camera to destroy recordings. You can also choose to only upload detected people instead of everything else. The detection zone can be changed to avoid detecting movement say on a public path. You can also specify how big an object should be before the detection kicks in, e.g. you can tell it to ignore small cars that are in the distance. You can grey out certain areas too, such as next door if part of the view includes another house. It has a decent app for Android and also Windows (haven't tried the iOS app), you can also use a browser but the interface isn't as good as the apps. One thing minor thing to note is that if you lower the recording resolution it crops the middle of the view instead of showing the entire thing - although you're buying a 4K camera so not much point reducing the resolution. So just be aware that you may need more storage than normal.

I purchased this camera (RLC-810A) because my previous Annke equivalent died due to a faulty weather gasket - rain entered the RJ45 connector and caused the camera to die. A review by someone on the Amazon review page for the Annke suggested this camera since it offered a higher resolution and frame rate than the Annke, so I thought I'd give it a go. The installation was straightforward and fitted into the same screw holes as the Annke, so really fast to put in place. Setting up using the downloaded Windows app was reasonably quick too. I did experience some technical issues because I was using a Synology Diskstation for the recording of video and following the Reolink guide to make it work didn't. The Synology didn't pick up the camera via the ONVIF protocol. However, setting a static IP address and then adding the camera manually by IP address resolved that. The other issue, more with the Synology was that when setting up the camera you need to select H265 as the camera recording format, otherwise you won't receive the 4k stream, you'll only get the way lower draft stream. I had to dig around Reddit to find that out. I've had the camera in place less than 3 weeks and it's already failed - showing as disconnected on the Synology and caught in a boot-loop by the Reolink app. It was the weekend of the snow that hit the UK and according to the time stamp of disconnection from the Synology it occurred around the time of the thaw when we had light rain after the snow. Further digging in to fixes and problems I find out that the reset button that sits on its own wire from the camera can have a problem of letting water get into it. This water bridges the wires in the button and makes the camera think it's being reset. Some people have cut the wire off and just kept the 2 wires separate and insulated. I didn't want to do that just yet and waited for it to dry out. 2 days later and the camera had stabilised and I could re-initialise it - settings were all set back to default. I will see how the camera fares and if it occurs again I will give the camera a vasectomy, since I think having an external means of resetting the camera is a pretty poor security design anyway. Image quality was good, and being able to record 4k at 25fps is a good upgrade over the Annke at the same price. My only criticism of the image settings is that the overlaid text colour can't be changed and the positioning of the text is limited, so it's difficult to read the date/time during daytime images (white on white). The Annke had a feature where it would invert the colour depending on the colour beneath it so it was always visible. A concern that will have to wait to be tested was that the camera was warm to the touch during the freezing temperature. I'm sure this is because the camera is being pushed hard - 4k @ 25fps using H265 encoding requires some processing grunt. I hope the camera will tolerate this during summer when we may well hit 40'c again.

After getting the camera I was very happy to see with the app all the features I wanted in a security camera were present and without any subscription needed to make use of them. the picture quality is excellent and the app though a little frustrating to set up can do most of what I want it to. Live remote viewing through the internet, motion detection with zone control, Scheduled sensitivity, scheduled togglable notifications. the option to force it into color mode, SD card of up to 256 GB of internal memory to store a few days of recordings. this Is a perfect product So you can imagine my disappointment to find out that the Detection zones just don't work. you can tell the camera to ignore parts of the video from motion detection and in turn the camera will ignore you and persist to notify you of every drop of rain, every insect, and every fart from a tree. even if you have lowered the sensitivity to its minimum the camera will still pick up these things from a section of the camera you have told it to ignore. Therefore getting you into the habit of ignoring those pesky notifications making the whole point of them meaningless if someone does try to vandalize or steal your property So I thought to myself, well at least I can make use of the cameras recording feature to still be of some use to me should I (again) become a victim of some vagrant looking to score a quick few quid from your hard work and following suffering, So you can imagine the further disappointment I felt when a week or two into owning the camera I go to check it one day to find the password didn't match what I had set it to. thinking that I was at fault for setting a poor password after resetting the camera and getting a strong password of 12 random numbers letters capitals and punctuations. I had to go through the increasingly frustrating Interface for the app to restore the camera to the settings I wanted but at least this time it won't happen again It did happen again, I don't know if it's being hacked but more than likely it's just a poorly made product in any event if you do decide to purchase this camera I hope you too enjoy dismounting the camera every other week so you can get to the reset button to restore the camera so you can go through the process of setting it back up again TL;DR Don't buy this camera

Omagen de calidad, y la vision nocturna es muy nitida. Camara muy recomendable.

Excellente qualité de fabrication. Excellente qualité d'image durant le jour. Excellente application avec beaucoup de possibilités. Par exemple, enregistrement directement sur le PC (Windows). Durant la nuit présente une image bruitée même , si la rue est bien éclairée. Des objets en mouvement deviennent des fantômes et laissent des traînées. Dommage... P.S: j'ai la sonnette 2K et 3 caméras 4K (une est PTZ avec un zoom optique x5) de cbez Reolink. Dans l'ensemble, je suis très satisfait. Les caméras fonctionnent et enregistrent hors ligne ! C'est très important.

Immagine molto nitida e collegamento PoE estremamente comodo. Una volta collegata all'NVR ha funzionato senza particolari configurazioni.

De camera is zeer solide opgebouwd en heeft een uitstekende beeldkwaliteit. Ik gebruik de camera binnenshuis (is eigenlijk een buitencamera) als onderdeel van de videobewaking in en rondom huis. De camera is via PoE aangesloten op mijn NVR-recorder als deel van totaal 5 camera's (3 camera's 8k en 2 camera 5k) Ik ben zeer tevreden over de Reolinkproducten. De prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding is meer dan uitstekend.

Caméra ultra fonctionnelle ! S’installe très facilement ! J’avais déjà des caméras en POE, datant de 5 ans, autant dire la technologie a fait un véritable bond en avant avec cette caméra ! La qualité est bluffante ! Les paramètres sont complets et surtout totalement compatible avec mon NAS Synology ! L’installation avec l’application Reolink sur pc ou sur téléphone se fait très simplement ! Du coup j’ai changé les 8 caméras par ce modèle et rien à voir ! Je peux désormais lire les plaques d’immatriculation à 30 mètres ! La qualité la nuit est bluffante et nouveauté pour moi le son est enregistré en même temps que la vidéo ! Je recommande cette marque et ce modèle ! ToP !
