Reolink E1 Outdoor 5MP/3K Outdoor PTZ Wi-Fi Camera with Spotlight

Working great once you install it. Little inconvenient since it doesn’t work with POE (needs power adapter plugged in) and doesn’t work with Reolink NVR currently sold in PB. Otherwise , great little spy Working great once you install it.

I have two of these which I use to keep an eye on deliveries, etc. With the SD card storage and online, it works very well without a subscription. Also shows the cats coming and going!

This camera is easy to install and operate.
The operating system app is easy to use and understand.
Though it is rather sensitive and needs to be critiqued so that you don't get notifications on all movements. This camera is easy to install and operate.

I bought and installed this camera in a paddock i have at home a month ago Its clarity of picture and sound is fantastic. Onscreen ptz controls are measured and simple to use. This with the inpicture zoom feature of reolink makes this an awesome piece of kit I bought and installed this camera in a paddock i have at home a month ago Its clarity of picture and sound is fantastic.

For a few months it worked fine.
Then I started noticing footage go missing when I couldn't look up specific times I wanted.
Just now I have confirmed proof this camera definitely doesn't work as it should;
In the software, I downloaded a recorded video 2 min 17 seconds long. But when you open it, its only 1 minute 15 seconds long with relevant footage missing.
This is an example and the problem is becoming more frequent. For a few months it worked fine.

I found the camera easy to install on the house, using the easy detached mounting bracket. The setup was easy, using the Reolink app and the camera is functioning as I hope. Recommended!

Great product and the service is excellent Great product and the service is excellent

Bought this on promotion. Great price for a unit that has PTZ tracking. And it's compact! Bought this on promotion. Great price for a unit that has PTZ tracking. And it's compact!

Dual band wi fi makes a big difference, happy with my choice. Dual band wi fi makes a big difference, happy with my choice.

I wanted an outdoor camera for our driveway after our cars were broken into.
I knew this camera needed power cable so sussed that out first. I preferred this instead of battery camera (Argus style etc) because I knew these cameras could be rotated and zoomed, which fixed cameras do not allow. In addition, they will record to my NAS, which a battery camera will not.

The fact that this camera has motion tracking was a fantastic bonus (I had forgotten they could do this after reading too many camera reviews) and thought that I would need a higher priced model for this, so very pleased with this.

Quality is great, and am very happy with my Reolink setup of E1s indoors, Argus Pro 3s and E1 outdoor.
