REOLINK E1 Outdoor Pro 4K PTZ Outdoor Security Camera WiFi Plug-in Power

The Pro is definitely an upgrade in clarity from the standard version but still not good enough to read license plates or see faces clearly from my house to the road. Now I wonder if I should have gone for the 16MP version.I’ve seen a bunch of users say it takes forever to get the Wi-Fi connected in initial setup, I was having the same issue. Top Tip: connect the camera via a LAN cable to your network to get it initialized and fully set up, then switch it to Wi-Fi. This works every time for me in a minute or two.The APP isn’t the greatest so I hope they are planning upgrades in the future.Over

Edit: Two years later and these cameras still work well. I really love the Timelapse feature. See my video.Was looking at something to improve on my ring setup at home. Wanted something with better definition and where I had more control over the video, storage, and overall quality. Not to mention the other cameras I have are really troublesome for connecting to my home network. I got this set up late today, but loving it so far. I coupled it with a 256 Gb Micro SD card and have the settings up at 8MP 4k. I even got it set up on my home FTP server to upload the files there every 10 minutes aut

update: add 1 star as customer support is very responsive. camera working well after shaving the rubber coverAs a few other reviews have noted, there is a design flaw. The rubber cover for the SD card slot is on the camera "ball" that articulates, so it gets caught on something on the inside when it pans up. This causes it to occasionally get stuck and you need to manually move it to to free it. To fix it, I took the cover off and used a razor blade to shave off the slight hump that protrudes slightly above the camera. This seems to have resolved the problem. It is still a nice camera and form

Easy to connect, two mounting options, clear picture, good price per value.

Update: I just found out that this is made with plastic gearing. There is NOTHING in existence that should be made with plastic gears. This is a guaranteed failure point and absolutely unacceptable. Every single one of these cameras could fail at any moment, and Reolink knew this when they designed it.Video quality is decent, but nowhere near 4K. Actual bitrate maxes out at 5 Mbps (NOT 8 Mbps), which is slightly higher than 1080p but below 2K for H.265. Considering these are wired power and 5 GHz, this is far below what it should be capable of. There's really no good reason that this shouldn't

I have this camera in two other areas of my home. It is easy to set up and has a clear picture. I get notifications when someone pulls in my driveway I would highly recommend this camera.

Hello everyone, it is 12/2024 and I really wanted to like this camera but it fell sort of my exceptions. I ended up returning it.The camera itself was okay but the software app was very difficult to use. I also prefer to monitor cameras from my computer. And after a few hours I finally figured out which Reolink Client software to download on the computer and battled with it to get it to see the new camera. What they don't make clear is that the first time you use the camera in the Client software is you MUST connect an ethernet cable to the camera. It can't just be wifi connected. So there goe

I tried several cameras before deciding on using this version from Reolink. The key features that I was looking for: crystal clear high quality footage, local recordings without a monthly fee, reliably detect motion, and notify me on my iPhone even if I put it in "Do Not Disturb" or silent mode (thanks to the Critical Alerts feature on iOS). This camera not only meets all of my requirements, but it is even BETTER than I hoped! I am VERY impressed that this camera could detect the difference between moving objects in the footage (ALL animals, vehicles and humans) without needing to be connected
