REOLINKDuo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic View, Motion Track, F1.6 Color Night Vision, Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, 2 Way Talk, Supports 24/7 Recording

Originally had the Blink battery cam system, and after a while, it would just get annoying having to up every two weeks to change the battery.Enter in The Reolink Duo3! The camera has great quality (far better than the one on the blink system), and the night vision is great too–you can use the IR or even the light on the cam (which is all an option available via the app).The sound quality is great as well... it can even pick up conversations from the sidewalk. It looks like a regular cam, and the size is similar to one... but it gives you 2 cams in one with the 180 degree view. This is one of the best features of the cam.The setup wasn't that easy though. It took 2 days for my father and brother to install (I'm currently injured and can't do anything physically demanding, otherwise I would've helped too). The reason for the lengthy of time was because of the way my father wanted to set it up on the house. Had to run the wires through the attic and all the way to the basement (where the router is located). He wanted the cam, so I bought it, and he's very satisfied with it.We even have the stoage system (dvr) as well. It's a great addition to the system and boosts its functionality. At the end of the day, my father said that it was worth all of the labor he and my brother did, because it is the best camera system he ever had.BTW- We had 2 Blink cams setup on the right and left corner of the house. Now, we just have this one Reolink cam that covers more than the two Blink systems were able to cover together. Seriously, this is a great security cam. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a great security system!

The media could not be loaded. A couple years ago, I purchased the Reolink DVR with 4 cameras, and had them mounted on the 4 corners of my home. 2 in the front yard facing each other so I can see the whole area, and 2 in the back yard facing each other. I've always wanted better side yard visibility since I've had a few instances now of people crossing through my sideyard and even contruction people working for a neighbor who were in my side yard. So, I bought this on sale (thank you Amazon and Reolink) to cover the back yard, and repointed the ones on the corners to see the side yard.You can see in the screenshot above, I can now see all of my yard and have a great view of the backyard. The clarity is nice. I also like the floodlight feature on it as well as the 2 way communications available. The siren COULD be louder, but I won't be using that much (hopefully).As I've mentioned in previous reveiws, I love that it's a POE camera since it won't need batteries and can't be jammed by a FlipperZero or other wireless jamming device. It can't be disabled without you first having been recorded. That being said, I would recommend pairing it with the DVR for that purpose. It can take up to 256GB of memory in an SD card, but that can be removed. If paired with a DVR indoors, they can take the camera or remove the card, but they're still recorded securely in your home! Also, if you're like me and have your network equipment on a battery backup, cutting power to your home won't kill this camera. It will run on the juice being supplied across the network! Sweet!If you're not interested in that, can't get network cables to the location you plan to mount it, or just prefer wireless still, then go for the wifi version of this camera. I'm still impressed with the rest of the features enough to suggest it!For the techies out there like me, it plays nicely with all the IOT services. Apple Homekit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and (my favorite) HomeAssistant all play well with it! In Alexa and HomeAssistant (the two I've tested the most with it) even the options to send voice back to it, trigger the siren, and trigger the flood light are all available! I'm already testing automations in HomeAssistant now!For the price, this is a great camera. My only complaint is a nit-picky one, and that is that in the DVR dashboard it comes across a bit small because it's panoramic. I hope they add layouts in the DVR to accomodate these later! Until then, I'm still satisfied. It's been worth every buck!

These camera's are just amazing, Great clear images. Sound quality is amazing and the spot light feature is also clear. The night vision is on par with what you would expect which is roughly around 80 foot of detailed clarity and past that it does start getting a little grainy. The camera itself is easy to setup with the reolink app basically plug and play. The camera itself gives a great, Installation tip however.. make sure you pay close attention to the pivot point on the mount itself as it is easy to install essentially backwards which will limit you from being able to tilt the camera downwards.
