REOLINK 5MP WiFi Outdoor Camera RLC-510WA, Wireless Home Security Cameras

I've tried 10-12 Security Cameras and this as well as the REOLINK RLC-511WA - 5MP Security Camera, that they discontinued after my return, were the best. The only issue with the 511WA was the mounting style, it needed to be improved as it did not hold position. Hopefully they improve it and reintroduce it as I believe it's picture quality, ability to zoom X5 & day-time night shots with white light & acting like a security light are the advantages over this model, RLC-510WA.The advantage of this model is:1. being black - Less obvious | inconspicuous2. All outdoor cameras should have an option f

Good resolution day and night, takes a bit of time adjusting camera settings and notifications to your liking and it doesn't come with sd card.Apart from that I have it for almost 2 years now and working fine

Updated Again (10/26/21)Another camera died, reset itself, fixed it then it went 3 days reset again.Updated Review (10/2021) dropped from 4 to 1 star.Everything below is still valid accept do not buy this camera. I just had another camera fail. It seems this is a bad batch, out of 6 cameras bought, 4 now have failed in the first few weeks. What happens is these things seem to have some fault that makes them reset, typically within first 1-3 days, the one that jst failed went 3 weeks. So that means you have to climb a ladder, uninstall the camera to reset it, or replace it. That's pain in the a

Decent basic camera. You do need to use either the mobile app or a PC app to do initial setup, including setting a user password on the camera. However, a Synology NAS will either directly recognize this camera or connect via ONVIF. Note that at the time of this writing there are two variations of this camera in Synology's list of compatible devices, so try both if one doesn't work for you. Synology Surveillance station actually recognize the camera's onboard motion detection events (which have failed on multiple other brands for me).In the mobile app, you can enable RTSP (to stream to video c

A decent, inexpensive WiFi camera which doesn't require cloud garbage.Can be set up entirely without WAN access, using camera-hosted webserver interface, and it is also possible to use the app without a cloud account or internet.While not clear from the somewhat confusing listing, there is also a physical ethernet port, which can be used instead of WiFi, but perhaps most importantly, is how one connects to and teaches the camera about your WiFi networks without the need for the ridiculous workarounds of other cameras.ONVIF works for the essentials - my VMS immediately saw the camera and set it

Quick easy set up with beautiful results of images. I highly recommend this camera!

I must say, though the feed clarity is ok from a distance, the moment you zoom in, yeah it becomes grainy at best.That however is not what this review is about, after upgrading my home network, I had decided to replace an old outdated camera with one of these, install and set up was a breeze. Added it to the front of the house where I could see a perfect shot of my front door, windows and driveway. I ordered 2 more cameras to add to the back side of the house and one inside of the garage. So far so good.. I then decide to get a burr up my butt and put in a open 1u rack and upgrade my entire ho

I'm a big fan of Reolink. I have other cameras from them and they work perfectly and so did this one when I first connected it to my phone. It was easy to connect, the app found it, press connect, then it was working. Well, because this camera is going to my mom's house, I did a factory reset on it. Then I remembered I need to test the SD card I have for this camera, so I got it out of the box, hooked it all up and again the app found it, press connect. Well, it wouldn't connect. Did some research and made sure I reset it properly and I did. So, I reset it again, same problem, wouldn't connect
