REOLINK 16-Channel 5MP Home Security Camera System with Night Vision and Motion Detection

And Fner: As of right now I have installed 3 of the 8 cameras in the back of my house and garage so far. Running the wire is a task but for the speed and reliability of having the cameras on Ethernet and the ability to access the camera multiple ways instantly is absolutely worth the hassle of running the wires from the cameras to your NVR.

I decided I wanted to run my own cat6 Ethernet cable rather than using the cabling provided so that I could cable manage and be a little more accurate with the cable length than the cables that were provided. I also chose to buy a 10U server rack to mount in my basement to hold my NVR and a patch panel to run the cat6 to. I also decided to buy an UPS because in the case of a power outage I still want my security cameras to run. I then got myself 8 security camera junction boxes(on Amazon), some 1/2 in conduit and connectors and a main junction box to run all the conduit to. I then drilled an 1 inch hole in the back of the junction box picked where I wanted all the wires to go into my basement and drilled about a 1 inch hole from the outside of my house to inside my basement.

It’s taking me about an hour and a half to about two hours per...

T. Swift: I've tested a few different systems both NVR based like this one and Ring/Arlo cloud based systems too. I needed a NVR based system for a shop with the primary purpose of 24/7 recording. I installed this with 10 Reolink 5MP cameras and it works flawlessly. The mobile app is great for Android. The Windows PC app is also great. and the NVR itself is very easy to navigate around. best of all it just all worked out of the box. I routed all the cat5e cables, plugged in the NVR, plugged in the cameras and the NVR automatically added them. The default setup of the NVR works super well and I've tweaked some of the motion and recording settings. All up this is a solid 5 star system and frankly I was surprised just how good it is and how it competes with the other bag brands out there in terms of mobile apps and reliability. Been going several weeks and not an issue to report. Nice one Reolink!

Network Doctor: First, the good. These cameras produce a nice, sharp image with fluid motion at 30 fps. Night vision clarity is excellent, although the onboard IR illumination range is far less than the claimed 100 ft. range. Actual useful range is about 30-40 ft., unless there is another light source nearby. I have multiple cameras on each side of the house, and the *combined* illumination from them provides excellent visibility overall. The fact they can record sound is a BIG PLUS. (Default sound setting is OFF... you will need to enable it per-camera in the encoding settings.)

Now, the bad. The downsides are unreliable motion detection tagging, and PC based viewer software that loves to crash and always loads several cameras into a single frame causing them to rotate images wildly until I drag each camera to its own frame. I haven't found any way to save view settings in the PC app, so I have to drag cameras to their own frames each time. This is ONLY a problem when viewing with the PC software (which unfortunately is my preferred viewing method). Viewing on a directly connected monitor works perfectly, and so does the iPhone app.

In playback mode there are indicators on the...
