REOLINK RLK8-1200D4-A 12MP PoE Security Camera System, 4pcs H.265 Surveillance IP Cameras Wired in 12 Megapixel UHD, Person Vehicle Pet Detection, Spotlight Color Night Vision, 8CH NVR with 2TB HDD

This unit is very user friendly. Install is a piece of cake and comes with everything necessary to immediately put in action.I installed this at a commercial property to add a level of security. They work great with the phone app and I can get notices anytime something is picked up by the cameras. I can review video footage on my phone perfectly.I really like the lighted camera for nighttime. Anyone getting near them in a dark building would immediately know they are being recorded by the motion activated light that comes on.Buy them. Best deal for the money. High quality.

So far system is great. Connects easy. Takes a little time to learn these. First off depending what you want to do with system. I got a poe switch and plugged cameras into it. Then I only need to plug NVR to modem. I think it would have been better to buy pieces separately. Cameras are d1200 you could buy the 1224a and use more automation like Alexa to see cameras Or Roku tv to display cams in all rooms v.s 1 room. You tube has some great videos on how to set these up nice. Cameras are great otherwise and send push notifications if it alarms. Night vision is very good too. Do a little research first but I highly recommend the brand. App is free and nice.

Excellant compact security system. Very easy to setup, clear pictures., and lots of extra settings for a truly customized security system.

I purchased this set a couple months ago and waited to post this review. Installation was not difficult for my husband, picture/video is clear both day and night. Naming the cameras is easy so you know exactly where you'r looking. My biggest complaint is at night the push notifications at night can be bothersome as the bugs are attracted to the infrared light and constantly alert the camera, not enough for the bright light to come on but enough for push notifications. I end up turning off the notifications at night because it drives me nuts which kind of defeats the purpose...

The cameras magically appeared on my phone app, so install seemed easy at first. But as soon as I left my home WiFi I don’t get the video anymore. The Reolink help page was difficult to follow so we tried the “swift and efficient” helpline (false advertising), after being on hold an hour we got a recording to go online and then hung up. Although from reading other reviews customer support seems completely useless anyway.Update: I was offered a full refund by Reolink but already paid for installation. In any case we found a setting, “Allow Reolink App/Client to access the device via WAN using UID”, toggled that and then can access the cameras outside of home WiFi. The default on our system was off.

Pros: The system overall is very good. The quality and functionality for the price you pay. Desktop and mobile applications available. Can access the NVR over the network. Different types of alerting settings for pets, people and vehicles. You can adjust and customize what kind of events you want to get push notifications on your app. LED light on camera switches on and night when detection is identified which is also good. It's a kind of a soft reminder to a strangers that they are recorded. The most diffcult part in the setup is running the LAN cables. I ran mine thgouth the atic, so it's solid setup. Plug in and forgot about it.Cons: One of my cameras had a black dot on the sensor which obscuring part of viewport. My first guess that it's some dirt on the lense, but upon checking it, it was not. It was something inside of the camera. I have found warranty support request form on Reolink website. Completed everything, attached the screnshots with confirmation on the issue. One week after - no reply. Then I have contected them over live chat assistant. I had to wait 40 minutes while life agent joined the chat. When agent joined, she started to ask bunch of questions about my system, like what is my system, model, type and so on. Then asked the firmware version of device, I shared and told that it's up to date. Then asked me to go and connect the physical monitor to NVR to tell the firmware version for the problematic camera. I did. She asked to update the firmware. I knew it will not help, but anyway, I did this. Then she asked to reload and reset cameras. I did. The she told me to install the camera to a different location. WTF????? How does that suppose to help??? It took more than an hour for all those not needed movements, because it was clearly a faulty camera! Then I told that it does not make sense, and she asked to send the Amazon Invoice. After another 10 minutes of so she told me that my request was forwarded to the Senior Technician for further resolution. That is insance... how the technicial can fix the faulty hardware I don't know but it is what it is.. still not over. I expected this to be a simple one camera return and replacement. But it's not... Will post the updates.UPDATE: The technician offered the replacement. They have sent a little bit newer camera, because 1200 model was not on stock. From the shipment of broken camera back to replacement received took almost a week. New camera works good and finally the system is all set and working great.

System works good only issue is the size of hard drive it comes with only stores about 4-5 days of video with the (4) 12MP cameras it comes with. Plan on adding a substantial amount of extra storage or be willing to pay the monthly fee for storage (which is limited to 60 days).Installation is straight forward...turn on the system set an Admin password then start running cables and and placing cameras. I would recommend downloading the app to your cell phone before starting installation making easier to aim the cameras.Desktop app and phone app works fine. In the reviews some people were complaining about not being able to cut the video when saving but worked fine for me. We also have staff that access the cameras from our corporate office in another state with no issues so far.

This camera system has exceeded my expectations in every way. The image quality is outstanding, capturing crystal-clear footage. Viewing the cameras from my phone is seamless, with all four feeds loading simultaneously and quickly. The responsiveness is impressive, and it never lags when pulling up live views. I love that it records all movements and allows me to easily review past footage whenever needed. Installation was straightforward, and the app is user-friendly. Overall, this is a top-notch security solution that gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended!

I used this product for my home. I had exciting cables from a previous security system that I inherited from the previous owner. I wanted to upgrade but I was able to use the old cable for hookup. We had a TV that we were not using so we used it and it worked fine. We had to purchase a router and we were lucky enough to get one on sale. $129.The only thing we have had problems with is the hookup to our iPhones. Other than that it is a great system.

Trust this brand as security camera system. 12MP is prefect during the daytime or night. Easy installation with skills. Need to know how to run ethernet cable. This is POE camera. I have installed this brand camera NVR system more than 10 places. From 5MP to 12MP, from single to dual leans. !!! CATCH SOMEONE STOLE FROM MY HOUSE! SUBMIT VEDIO TO POLICE AND THEY FOUND THE GUY I GET EVERYTHING BACK!!!

This camera kit works great and is easy to add additional cameras to NVR.

Systeme va tres bien, simple a brancher, par contre les fils devrait etre un peu plus long. Pour ce qui est du service a la clientele, au CANADA, aucun no de téléphone pour parler avec un représentant...
