REOLINK 4K PoE Security Camera System, Home Outdoor IP Camera in 180 Degree Viewing Angle, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Color Night Vision, Two Way Talk, Up to 256GB microSD Card, Duo 2 PoE

Surprisingly good ultra-wide camera, good value for money.
I was trying to setup security camera that will monitor narrow walkway on the side of the house, but because suitable spot for the camera is in the middle, big challenge for my setup is to monitor both left and right sides of the walkway. Initially I thought I would have to setup two separate cameras (one pointing left, and another pointing right), but this camera provides simple and clean single-camera solution.This camera has two separate wide view cameras covering full 180deg view, but two images are stitched into a single feed, making it a single logical camera. The stitching line (in the middle) is practically invisible.Unlike fisheye cameras (that can be used to achieve 180deg view) this camera provides good quality image across entire 180 view, also visual distortions are not too bad – straight walkway looks slightly curved, but image quality is perfectly usable, and resolution is good.Night vision is good as well, using built-in IR illuminator LEDs. The camera also has built-in white light that can be triggered (e.g. by motion), it is reasonably bright, and could be helpful.I’m using this camera with Blue Iris software, in ONVIF mode. Configuration is easy using free Reolink tool, easier to use and more convenient than typical WEB UI of a security camera, but WEB UI is provided as well.

Significant Improvement vs. Prior POE Cameras
Everything listed was in the box (even extra mounting screws/anchors), including a short cable for connection of the POE switch to the network modem. You must supply your own ethernet cable to the camera and your own POE switch (my old one died after about 8 years continuous service). Setup was a breeze – took 10 minutes (I had prior POE cameras so know the ropes). The only wrinkle was getting the SD card to seat in the slot. The slot is mounted a little deep in the case, so it is not possible to get the card to stay by pushing with the finger tip. I had to press it into place using the edge of a credit card. Other than that, no problem in setup. The camera even formatted the disk for me.My ethernet wire was already in place from a prior camera. Foolishly, I had let it hang out exposed to weather for > 1 year (under a porch roof) after I removed the old camera, which quit prematurely (it was NOT Reolink). The exposed copper wires in the RJ-45 jack were visibly corroded, so first try, the camera failed to connect. I then cleaned each wire carefully and individually with the edge of 400 grit sandpaper, then a tiny bit of vinegar brushed on with a stiff toothbrush; immediate, firm connection afterward. No problem with drops or disconnects.My particular wall mount was a bit challenging, as I had to drill into rough, irregular a stone-faced wall on the front of my house – covered by a porch roof – perfect to prevent sun shining directly into the lenses. There is some washout in areas of shadow under the roof when the sun is bright, but not too bad. Picture quality is quite good (certainly compared to my old camera), but I can’t say it appears to be 4K. The image stitching is perfect.Certainly, the picture quality is sufficient for my purposes. Given my situation, it is very unlikely that license plates will ever present themselves to the camera, so I don’t know if resolution is sufficient to read them. Individualizing all the settings – lighting, recording, and alarms – is straightforward and intuitive. The hardware is extremely well-designed and well made of quality materials to very close tolerances. Even the screws are high quality of stainless steel (a reliable sign of quality, in my experience) All-in-all, I am quite pleased with the Reolink POE Duo 2. Very good value for the price. The front of the camera (the black part) runs quite warm/hot. The website says this is normal. Since Reolink knows this and tells customers about it, I am hoping it does not make for premature failure. The duration of the warranty should permit operation through all ambient temperature conditions. In light of the overall quality, I am hoping for the best.

Nice picture, 180 degree coverage. Works excellent.
I like the picture, the mounting bracket seems sturdy enough. It might be nice to have some kind of cable management attached to the housing so the camera cable loop doesn’t move around. But it works great and it keeping an elementary school playground safe.Thanks!

POE給電なのに補助電源を取らないと使えません。それなのに電源アダプターは付属していない。ゴミになりました。追記お客様、 ご注文いただきありがとうございました！弊社PoEカメラはDCアダプタが同梱しておりません。よりよいお買い物体験を提供するために、このメールには510A/810A/820A/811A/842A/823A/Duo 2 PoEに対して給電方法とAI検知設定の説明書を添付しており、ご査収のほどよろしくお願いいたします。買った後に言うんじゃねぇよ

There is nothing I don’t like about this camera. Not big and conspicuous. Great auto lighting feature, IR and night vision. Clarity is good, angle of view is great. Push notifications are based on your individual needs.Person, pet and vehicle detection is great and immediately identifies the ‘alert’ type.Zooming (on screen) is great (to a point) and is very helpful during playback. The Playback indicates the points where motion is detected and easily navigates through all captured videos based on the stream length you choose. I like this product a lot and find it most helpful in monitoring my entire front, double garage driveway with entrance and adjoining neighbors (limit to the street area) beside and across my property.Excellent product. Considering upgrading to newer Duo models and possibly the much larger PTZ auto-track offerings.
