This camera is perfect for our needs. Setup is easy and there are lots of features we like:
* Onboard storage
* Pan/Tilt control
* Night vision
* Motion detection
* Object identification
* Sound capture
* Intercom
* Alarm and Custom alarm
* Text/email alerts and notifications
* Time lapse
* Solar panels to keep batteries charged
We have 6 installed around the perimeter of our house. We can access and control them from anywhere we happen to be. The cameras connect to our home LAN. We suggest getting as much onboard storage as you can (128G max) for storing video clips and stills. The default video quality is somewhat limited, however it can increased at the expense of video storage. Even so, we have never run out of storage.
These are not suitable for 24/7 monitoring. There is just not enough battery power for that. However, with motion detection, we can have lots of video clips triggered by cars, animals, and people. The clips are available via the app.
One time we setup time lapse to record replacement of our fence. The recording was great! You could watch progress as the shadows tracked the sun. This did drain the batteries a lot, but they recovered the next (sunny) day.
The solar panels do an excellent job of keeping the batteries charged. You can also get extension cords for the solar panels so they can be mounted in a sunny location. Even on cloudy days, the panels keep the batteries topped off during normal usage.
We have one installed on our front porch. The cameras allow for two-way communication so we can have conversations with people who come to our door (much like the 'doorbell' cams). We have programmed a custom siren that informs delivery people to lock packages in the delivery locker on our front porch.
We love PTZ feature! PTZ is a little misleading since there is no onboard zoom. However, you could pinch the video in the app to 'zoom.' You can point the cam almost anywhere you want.
The motion detection is very sensitive. Sometimes it picks up too much motion such as plants blowing in the wind. For that, we can setup exclusion zones to filter out motion.
We are still discovering and experimenting with its features. The Reolink app is very useful and allows us access whenever we are. It is not 24/7 surveillance, but suits our needs. We are very pleased with the camera's performance and would recommend it to anyone.
