REOLINK 4K Outdoor Plug-in WiFi 6 Security Camera, PTZ Camera for Home Security, Wi-Fi 6 New Tech, Motion Tracking, Smart Detection, 3X Optical Zoom, Motion Spotlight, Local Storage, E1 Outdoor Pro

This is quite a camera. Really good resolution and with just a little ambient light I can leave it in the full color mode all night long. PTZ all work fine and the auto-focus is excellent. Some have complained about the tilt getting jammed - I can see how this could happen, just make sure to get the rubber cover fully snapped down over the MicroSD slot to prevent this. The detachable mounting bracket is a nice touch, makes it very easy to mount. When you first get the camera I highly recommend connecting to it with an Ethernet cable and doing the initial configuration that way, including wifi setup. Saves some grief that way.

The camera is feature full without a need to pay a subscription. Great quality and awesome price.

The 4K resolution on this REOLINK camera is fantastic, and the Wi-Fi 6 is a noticeable improvement, providing a very stable connection and smooth live view. The pan-tilt-zoom functions are responsive and cover a huge area effectively. My main frustration, and the reason for a lower rating, is the power situation. I assumed a camera with these "pro" features, especially PTZ, would be fully powered over Ethernet (PoE) for a simple, single-cable installation. Unfortunately, it is not. Even if you use an Ethernet connection, you still have to run a separate DC power cable to an outlet. This really complicates the installation and isn't what I was expecting. It seems the "PoE" mentioned in some descriptions might just be for data, not power, which feels misleading. It's a great camera in terms of performance (video quality, Wi-Fi), but the lack of true PoE power is a major drawback that buyers should be aware of before purchasing. Get the POE version.

I have this camera mounted above my front door and really like how it can identify people and animals, seperate from basic motion. Our house is well elivated from the road, and the PTZ feature lets me swivel it around and look out over the neighbourhood and roadway. Update - I've now bought a 2nd one of these to cover a different part of my property. Really like this camera!

I use two REOLINK E1 Outdoor Pro cameras to monitor my garden — one for nighttime rat incursions and the other for daytime birdwatching, and they both perform flawlessly. The 4K resolution is crystal clear, even in infrared at night, and the motion tracking easily picks up rodents or any unexpected visitors around my raised beds. During the day, I stream both cameras live to observe the birds, especially the hummingbirds at the feeders. They’re surprisingly curious about the cameras and will hover right in front of them without fear, offering amazing close-up views. The 3X optical zoom and wide pan/tilt give me excellent control over what I see, and the smart detection filters out noise so I only get alerts when it matters. The Wi-Fi 6 support is a huge bonus — even on a crowded network, both cams stream smoothly with no lag or dropouts. Local storage works great, and there’s no forced subscription, which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a versatile, high-quality camera for security or nature monitoring, this is it. I loved the first one so much I immediately bought another. Reolink nailed it.
