Reolink Reviews

To get started with Reolink, begin by choosing the cameras you want and decide how you’d like to power them: via Ethernet cable, rechargeable batteries or a regular wall outlet. Since Reolink offers dozens of camera options, you must also choose the features you want: night vision, attached floodlights, field of view and camera resolution.

You also have different options for video storage and managing multiple cameras — network video recorders (NVRs) or Home Hubs. Depending on which cameras and optional storage hubs you want, you may be able to simply order your devices online. As soon as they arrive, you can set them up in minutes, connect them to the Reolink app and begin recording or livestreaming. There’s no monthly contract required unless you want cloud storage.

Reolink offers dozens of camera types and models, varying in price, features, resolution, power source, field of view and AI compatibility. The lineup also includes dual-lens cameras, floodlight cameras and video doorbells.

Reolink cameras use one of three power sources: rechargeable batteries, power over Ethernet (PoE) connections or standard wall outlets.

You can add an NVR or Home Hub to store recordings and manage multiple cameras in one place. Reolink cameras can store video locally on micro SD cards.

Reolink offers the following items a la carte or in bundles:

• Wi-Fi cameras: These outdoor cameras plug into a regular wall outlet and share data through your home Wi-Fi. They can record data onto a micro SD card, NVR system or Home Hub. Wi-Fi cameras offer features such as AI detection, color night vision and perimeter monitoring. Some models also have swiveling lenses or multilens designs, with varying resolutions and coverage areas.
• Battery-powered cameras: Reolink also offers many battery-powered cameras that use solar power to recharge their batteries without cables. Features vary by model and may include dual lenses, 4K resolution or a 180-degree panoramic field of view.
• PoE cameras: PoE cameras utilize a single Ethernet cable to transfer data and power to the device. These vary in field of view, number of lenses and resolution, with some PoE cameras including 16-megapixel (MP) Ultra HD for exceptionally crisp video, even at long distances.
• Dual-lens cameras: Reolink’s dual-lens cameras combine panoramic views with high-level video features, including motion tracking, night vision and 16 MP Ultra HD resolution.
• Indoor cameras: Reolink offers several indoor camera models with features such as smart detection, automatic person tracking and crying detection for baby monitoring.
• Home Hubs: Reolink Home Hubs provide a central base with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, supporting up to 24 cameras. With up to 2 terabytes (TB) of built-in storage, the Home Hub can store continuous recordings from multiple cameras without relying on cloud storage or monthly fees. Reolink also offers micro SD cards for additional storage.
• Video doorbells: Reolink offers doorbell cameras powered by battery or direct current (DC) with 5-megapixel (MP) resolution, night vision and a wide field of view.

Reolink outdoor cameras start at $69.99, while indoor cameras start at $45.99. Home Hubs start at $79.99, and video doorbells start at $119.99.

Reolink also offers cloud storage subscriptions starting at $5.99 per month. However, a subscription isn’t required because micro SD cards, NVRs and Home Hubs offer local storage options.

Here’s a look at Reolink’s a la carte equipment pricing at the time of publishing:

Most Reolink products are covered by a two-year warranty, with some cameras and NVR devices covered by a three-year warranty. The warranty covers full technical support, setup assistance and replacement services for eligible devices that weren’t damaged by misuse, extreme conditions or incorrect installation.

The company also offers a 30-day return policy on all products purchased through the official online store.

Reolink offers excellent value and quality for buyers looking to protect their home, especially for outdoor monitoring. If you have a large area you want to monitor, such as a backyard, Reolink’s cameras offer strong image clarity, wide coverage and night vision. The pricing is comparable to alternatives, but Reolink’s outdoor cameras generally offer more features and better resolution, with the added bonus of no subscription requirement.
