REOLINKDual-Lens PoE Camera - IP Security Camera System with a 4K Wide-Angle Lens and a 3MP Telephoto Lens for Close-up, AI Detection, Color Night Vision, Not Support for Third-Party NVR, RLC-81MA

UPDATE: I’ve been working with Reolink’s customer service. They worked with me extensively to try to identify the camera’s issues, and ultimately came to a great resolution. This particular camera might not be ideal for my needs, but it works fine natively and I’m happy about the functionality I get out of many other Reolink models. Not many companies stand by their product like this anymore. Happy I’ve made an investment with Reolink.This camera was meant to be part of a more widespread upgrade to the existing cameras on our property. Reolink generally has a good reputation, and I knew from prior experience that they work well on firewalled/self-contained systems. However, being nearly 2 years old without a single updated firmware has taken its toll on this camera, with unstable RTSP feeds and a buggy interface. This camera drops its signal frequently when integrated with a number of monitoring packages, including a viewer as simple as VLC. For the added cost, the zoom function doesn't help much. This might end up getting returned. For the same price I can get 2 510As which are far more stable. The Trackmix POE is a very similar camera, but is rock solid with none of the same problems, plus you get motorized PTZ.

Easy to install, clear pictures, and the light at night is perfect and very useful. Had their doorbell camera which stopped sending picture but continued to work as doorbell, so this camera with light and 2 way audio is a much better solution for my sccenario. Bell rings on dead doorbell cam, and this cam handles the rest. They make good stuff but dont think much of their live customer support chat. China pretending to be america i am guessing.

Okay, so I had a question. Can you mount the wall and the ceiling? Yes, you can, and you can feed the wires back up the hole to hide all the wires. Some people may find the installation difficult if they do not have cat 6 crimpers or the skills to pull the cables and install them themselves, but the setup was simple, the image is fantastic, and we will be adding more to the system.

Great cameras. Had some issues with Amazon, reolink direct stepped up to help make it right Much appreciated, thank you

Very easy install loving the camera very clear 4k smooth video stream is smooth ,no issues love it!

Unfortunately I'm stuck with reolink these cameras need to be replaced almost every yearThey're not waterproof and even though they say soWinter after winter they failBad design

The two photos are of the same target (highly cropped a little after sunset). The second is with the zoom camera. It’s better than the higher resolution wide angle camera.Edit: Upping to 5 stars. This is a great value. The cost is almost the same as the equivalent camera without the zoom (810a), so why not get this one instead?

This camera only works if the telephoto view is in the center of what you are watching . In my driveway surveillance, I found the telephoto view was useless. In my basement, I focused the telephone photo view on my furnace and Hot Water Tank and the wide angle view was able to cover two entry doors. The 811A was better for the driveway
