Video Doorbell PoE Camera – 180 Degree Diagonal, 5MP IP Security Cam Outdoor with Chime, 2-Way Talk, Plug & Play, Secured Local Storage, No Monthly Fee for Local Storage

It is perfect, I like the POE because I don't need to use any transforrmer. I need to add that homeassistant integration was a real added value for me.

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.

Very good and reliable doorbell + convenient App

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！！

Such a great product. I love our doorbell. Just great. The video quality is perfect, the speaker and microphone is great and it’s like another security camera, as well as intercom. I love being able to talk through it for delivery instructions etc.

After cycling through two other systems in three years, I finally landed on the Reolink PoE Doorbell—and after one full year of daily use, it’s the first one I’ve kept installed. Background Ring Video Doorbell Pro – Failed after six months. That ended my willingness to reinvest in that ecosystem. Blink Video Doorbell – Functionally fine, but replacing batteries every four months became a recurring annoyance. Returned to PoE for reliability and stability. Setup & Storage I paired the doorbell with a Amazon Basics 256GB microSDXC card for local recording. It’s an inexpensive, straightforward solution that avoids additional subscription fees that other systems implement. Installation was simple, and the system recognized the card without issue. Running Power over Ethernet again has been a major upgrade in consistency—no battery management, no voltage inconsistencies, and no drop-offs. Performance After One Year 1. Reliability The most important metric: uptime. After a year: No hardware failures No unexplained disconnects No recurring resets It has been materially more stable than both prior systems. 2. Firmware & Software Support Reolink consistently pushes firmware updates. These are not cosmetic; they include: Performance optimizations Feature improvements Stability fixes The ongoing development gives confidence the product won’t stagnate. 3. App & Desktop Experience Both the desktop client and mobile app are well designed: Fast playback access Intuitive timeline scrubbing Easy export of recordings Searching for specific events is notably better than my previous systems. You can filter recordings by: Ring events Any motion Person detection Vehicle detection Pet detection This classification significantly reduces time spent scrubbing through irrelevant footage. 4. No Subscription Pressure With local storage via microSD, I maintain full control of recordings without recurring fees. For users comfortable managing their own storage, this is a meaningful cost advantage over subscription-first platforms. Bottom Line After one year, the Reolink PoE Doorbell has delivered: Superior reliability compared to Ring Less maintenance than battery-powered systems like Blink Ongoing firmware support Robust event filtering Simple, subscription-free local storage For anyone willing to run PoE and who values stability over ecosystem branding, this has proven to be a durable, low-maintenance solution. It’s the first doorbell I haven’t been planning to replace, and may expand to their other camera systems.

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.

Great Doorbell Camera—Completes the System This is the latest addition to my camera setup and pretty much rounds out the system for now, with plans to add a couple WiFi cameras later. The camera itself is very wide angle and produces a sharp, clear image. Motion detection works well, and night vision is crisp and reliable. The doorbell function and included chime are a nice touch and integrate well into the overall setup. I’m running this on PoE through my NVR system, and like the rest of my setup, it’s been solid and easy to manage. This is just one component of a full system I’m running with multiple Reolink cameras (see my other reviews), and everything ties together well in one app. If you’re looking to build out a complete home camera system, I can definitely recommend Reolink based on my experience so far. One System. Complete Coverage.
