7/2/2025 : I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! It has been ROCK SOLID for the past few months! I have not missed a single visitor or package! I was able to remove false notifications almost completely! And all for NO SUBSCRIPTION! Reolink are making some amazing devices! This is their newer style of NVR, and I highly recommend you doing your research, to figure out specifically what you need. This is definitely the future direction. I have one camera and one doorbell camera, and this has worked out perfectly so far, I have not felt a need to upgrade the hdd! Super snappy notifications. I recommend this system 2000% 3/23/2025 : It was pretty easy to set up with the Reolink doorbell. I played with the options, quite pleased with the results. I do wish that (1) after 5 minutes of an event push notification, pressing the notification would take me to the event recording instead of the live view, (2) the iOS app would remember my filter preferences when I go to playback, otherwise I always have to set it (I almost always just care about people, not motion). Works solid on my network through LAN, and connects with doorbell through home wifi (I turned hub wifi off). Looking forward to setting up everything with poe, for more peace of mind. I can definitely recommend this as a great option for home camera security. The Reolink camera video and audio quality are excellent compared to other competitors!

Reolink is by far one of the easiest cameras to install and configure (and I've been doing this for almost 30 years). Set-up was a breeze, no monthly fees whatsoever, and a huge variety of cameras to choose from. I'll definitely be using the Home Pro Hub and Reolink cameras much more in the future.

I originally purchased several different versions of Reolink cameras over the holidays. These purchases included the RLC-823S1W, Trackmix, Argus PT, Argus PT Ultra, and several of the Duo 2 in both plug-in and solar versions. Over the course of two months the only issue I encountered is the Trackmix lost connection at one point, but that was corrected by unplugging the device. I decided to invest in the Home Hub Pro because I liked the idea of constant recording by my plug-in cameras. What followed was a lot of frustration and several hours lost of troubleshooting devices that had never caused an issue before the Home Hub Pro was implemented. It changed my fully positive view of Reolink and prompted me to write a review to warn people away from the device. There were so many issues that it is easier to list them as bullet points: - LAN Error: I installed the device on Tuesday afternoon and immediately had problems getting it to register in the same LAN. I used the same spare port and even the same ethernet cable that I had used when originally configuring the other cameras as standalone devices. None of those had issues registering as being in the same LAN when adding to the Reolink app or the Reolink client on PC. - Difficulty Adding Devices: The instructions walk you through adding devices already on the LAN. Since the Home Hub Pro kept acting as if it was not on the LAN, the devices did not show in the app correctly to connect to it. There is another step that allows you to add based on cameras already in the app itself, but it took multiple attempts to push the blue Connect button before they would add. It would repeatedly give an error about not being in the same LAN, but after multiple attempts it would eventually add it successfully. Every camera had this issue when being added. The Argus PT Ultra first worked this way, but then instantly lost connection. It never worked with the Home Hub Pro despite being compatible. - Offline Every 6-8 Hours: The primary issue that began the frustration is how the Home Hub Pro would randomly lose connection and display the red light roughly every 6-8 hours. I did not realize the Home Hub Pro acted as a single point of failure, so when this happens all cameras stopped responding. I estimate every 6-8 hours because by Wednesday morning it was offline and had to be unplugged to work again. It was then offline again by the time I got off work, lost connection again shortly before I went to bed, and was then offline again Thursday morning. Not having cameras during the most sensitive times of being asleep or away from home is unacceptable. That alone was enough to frustrate me and help me decide within two days I would be returning the device. I kept it connected until a 250-foot cable arrived to fix the problem (explained below). That took a couple of days, and within that timeframe the random disconnects continued. - Push Notification Errors: Two errors were occurring for this topic. All original settings of the cameras get reset after you add them to the Home Hub Pro. Annoying, but a quick fix. One of the problems was that I only had them configured to show people and animals, and those two would never trigger even when I stood in front of the cameras. However, it would notify me every time a vehicle was detected on our street, which means I was getting flooded with unnecessary irrelevant notifications and would miss any important ones like a person on the property. That is another major flaw. The second push notification error I noticed was that I would still receive them even when the Home Hub Pro was showing as offline. The way I even discovered that issue is because I received a notification, but when I selected it there was no way to view the feed due to the entire camera system being offline. - Cannot Transition Back to Previous Wi-Fi: The Home Hub Pro broadcasts a wi-fi signal, but it is weak compared to what I was using. There are instructions for switching from the Home Hub Pro wi-fi to your other connections. It does not work. The cameras see the connection, but changing to it results in an error stating the change cannot be made because the Home Hub Pro does not recognize the camera as being on the same LAN. That means when deleting the device from the Home Hub Pro in the app it does not prompt to switch the camera back to standalone use. That means you have to completely delete them from the app and add them manually back. That should have been a simple process since I had saved the bar codes of the cameras to my phone and had access to the UIDs, but then that led to the next issue. - Passwords Changed Without Authorization: Somehow the Home Hub Pro changed the passwords and/or username for every camera. I created a special password for these cameras, but not even one worked. That means they could not be added back to the app or client without resetting the devices. That is extremely inconvenient, because removing some of these cameras to reset and plug back in to the router for configuration was going to be very difficult. For example, the RLC-823S1W is bulky and heavy, so removing it from a corner of the house that required an extension ladder to install was going to be a challenge. That is why the 250-foot ethernet cable was mentioned earlier. I decided it was easier to buy a very long cable and run it to each camera long enough to configure it after resetting and connecting it back to my wi-fi network. This is also where I learned that resetting the devices does not reset everything about them. Apparently, resets do not erase your SD card, which is a good thing, but it also remembered the name of the Home Hub Pro broadcast and initially tried to connect to it first even though it was unplugged and back in the box at this point. I know things can go wrong with technology and perhaps I received a lemon, but the lost time trying to troubleshoot a brand new device and the frustration of having to reconfigure all of my cameras has changed my viewpoint of Reolink products. The Home Hub Pro became a single point of failure that caused issues with cameras that had worked flawlessly for two months. The most common recommendation I found online was to make sure the Home Hub Pro is running the latest version of the firmware. Unlike the cameras that saw updates upon initial configuration, the Home Hub Pro stated it was the latest version when a manual check of the website shows that is not the case. As of when I encountered the issues in April 2025 the latest firmware release was v3.3.0.369_24112931 from December 2024. I cannot recommend the Home Hub Pro to anyone as there are clearly issues they still need to correct. I opted to return it back to Amazon and simply leave the cameras working as standalone hardware that records only motion to the SD cards.

I’ll be honest — when I first looked at the price tag, I gave it that “Really, Reolink?” squint. But after getting hands-on with it, I’ve changed my tune. It’s actually a solid little hub that plays surprisingly nice with Home Assistant (and that’s no small feat). Setup wasn’t too painful either — definitely more “plug and sip coffee” than “bang head against wall.” Performance-wise, this thing is snappy. The hub keeps everything talking nicely and feels well thought out overall. I really like the option to connect cameras directly to the hub’s onboard WiFi — it does noticeably speed up response times… when it works. Unfortunately, if your camera’s more than about 35 feet away (especially on the 5GHz band), things can get a little hiccupy. You know that “camera offline” message that makes your heart drop? Yeah, you might see that if your setup’s spread out. My biggest gripe though? When you add your cameras through the hub, it changes the camera passwords. On its own. Without telling you what they are. It’s like it just goes, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got this,” and locks you out of your own camera. I don’t get a warm, fuzzy feeling about not having direct access to my own devices — that’s not exactly “user friendly,” Reolink. All in all, though, it’s a good product — stable, responsive, and a great companion for a Reolink camera setup, especially if you’re integrating with Home Assistant. Just be aware of the WiFi range quirks and the password mystery act. ⭐ Verdict: 4/5 stars – Great performance and integration, slightly sketchy WiFi range, and a weird password party you weren’t invited to.

Excellent product and quality

Previously opened packages including protective packet for hard-drive. This item was sold as new. Have yet to trial set-up, but am worried I may have been delivered a lemon. Not a great first impression. Update: customer service has been fantastic and the product has been working very well. Four stars.

No issues installing. Install hub first before setting up cameras. Did not try the WiFi feature as all my cameras are POE. If you want continuous recording, upgrade to a larger capacity drive. For motion activated recording the 2TB drive will do. The HDMI port is a nice touch and allows you to attach a large screen to the hub. Have recommended this to friends.

Reolink one of the very few not trying to sell you monthly subscription you see what you want to see no delay with advertisement. Most other companies give you 6 seconds of viewing after the advertisement, drive you nuts when you need to view an event quickly. They sell you the camera and then decide what you can watch, In the meantime they sell advertisement on your camera, they should give the camera away and run their commercials, none of this nonsense money grab using Reolink and the Reolink works as well if not better than competitors, there is just no matching Reolink, their pro hub for local storage works very well.
