REOLINK RLN8-410 8CH Network Video Recorder for Home Security Camera System

just installed an 8 camera reolink system. i will be brief, and i write this as someone who has installed a lot of camera systems: 1. these are much less expensive than prior systems i've installed. for the function? it's a small fraction. 2. they are very easy to activate - but note, you do need to scan the QR code. I added them to the app first, then the nvr. 3. from time to time the nvr glitches: the picture on the camera stays in IR mode while in the app it is color. power cycling doesn't fix it, but going in and changing the camera from color mode to (I forget what) and back does. 4. the

This a great camera system. It is perfectly priced. Reolink has the best customer support I've ever seen in a company. If you have an issue they respond within hours. Not kidding. I emailed their tech support at 8:30 PM and they responded by 8:53 PM. After working through my issue, the problem was solved less than an hour later. Their customer service is the best. I have had this camera system now for over two years and I have had zero major issues with it. I think most of the issues that arise are small technical issues that usually happen when the system (firmware) is updated. You may have t

Reliable NVR—Solid Performance After 2 YearsI’ve been running this NVR for about 2 years now, and it’s been a very solid system.It handles all 8 of my hardwired PoE cameras without any issues—no lag, no dropouts, just steady performance. My setup includes a doorbell camera, two wide-angle units, and five dome-style cameras, and everything runs through this without a problem.With the 2TB storage, I get around 9 days of recording before it starts overwriting, which is more than enough time in most cases to go back and find what I need.I have the unit installed in a media cabinet and running on a

Great unit with low power consuption and great features. This unit is plug and play and really doesn't require much setup. It does not allow remote access out of the box but can be set to do so.One word of warning when setting this up. I went to set this up in an off grid cabin that only has a small old tv. I did not bring a computer. This was an issue because I needed to have remote access to my phone, but you can not enable remote access with the Reolink app.You can ONLY enable remote access over the with a computer or TV that has HDMI or USB. If you dont do this you can not see your cameras

Yes, this works. I ordered a new computer because the one I had stopped working due to a lightning strike, but it works perfectly.

I have the N3MB01 hardware version of this NVR. DO NOT BUY THIS NVR with the N3MB01 hardware version. This seems to be an old version of the NVR. Or maybe just stay away from ALL Reolink NVRs. It's clear that Reolink either has never hired a UX (user experience) expert or has never hired one who know what they're doing. Maybe they hired a combined "UX/UI" (user interface) who are very rare, despite many people claiming they have both UX and UI expertise. The NVR's UI is arguably ok, but the UX is horrendous (Think of UI as the color of a door and its door handle, and UX is how the handle moves

Easy to set up and use. Works with your network and interfaces with your computer. A better value than paying for storage on the “Door Bell” services.

Worked perfect for a little over a year and just stopped working. The POE cameras all light up and continue to function but the DVR doesn't show any cameras and has stopped recording. Now this whole system I've put together is useless until I buy another one of "their" NVRs and maybe it lasts longer.There should be no reason for it to suddenly stop working. It is a fixed system that is connected to a voltage regulated power bank to ensure to voltage spikes or power loss occur. The system is kept on a fan cooled system to ensure it does not over heat. No expense was spared in this camera system
