Reolink E1 Zoom SETUP + REVIEW (iOS App, Desktop Client and More)

Рет қаралды 10,483

Күн бұрын

In todays video we are having a look at the Reolink E1 Zoom. I will be breaking down the cameras features, talking about my experiences and also sharing a quick setup for the E1 Zoom with the iOS app, Reolink Desktop Client and also RTSP Streams.
I originally had the Home Assistant integration included in this video but removed it for its own solo video to keep it relevant to the Cameras audience. Keep your eyes peeled for that one!
UPDATE - 22/03/2022
The silent B-Roll is due to a copyright claim on the video. Although the at the time of creation the track I used was copyright free, it now has been claimed. Hence the silence.

Reolink do have a newer Web Interface! My camera just hadn’t updated. I will be sure to cover it in my reolink desktop client detailed video. Want to know how to integrate the cameras in Home Assistant? Check out : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdKcotN52Nusd58.html

Awesome review! Question: Can I set-up multiple E1-Zoom cameras in different homes (on their respective wifi networks) in the same app? Do I use the "Add Other Network" function to do this or just scan the bar code of each camera in my separate homes?

Is E1 Zoom working with Reolink custom component for Home Assistant? If I'm not mistaken, E1 Pro isn't supported still.

@MarkWattTech 3 жыл бұрын

Hey BT. The E1 Zoom works great in HA with the custom component. But yeah I think the standard E1 and E1 Pro are not supported.

I have been looking at lots of these indoor cameras reviews and I still don’t know which one to get. Ideally I would like the Sd card option and motion detection. I am happy to pay more than just get a cheap one. Which one would you recommend?

@MarkWattTech 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Pilar. Out of all of the ones I have used of late, the reolink one is still my favorite. It is reliable, works great and the software is great. If your happy to spend more I would go for the E1 Zoom for sure. I am going to be releasing a few more videos on other PTZ cameras in the coming weeks, and will be contrasting them all.

@MarkWattTech 2 жыл бұрын

@@pilarmartinez3217 wicked :) I dont show it in this video, but if you do the firmware update, it lets you use the new web client (desktop client is better anyway). You also get access to the PTZ marking, so you can set points you want the camera to remember and can then call those positions :) The update is a manual process too, you will need to upload the firmware from Reolink to the camera via the client or web app. Give us a shout if you need any help :)

@@MarkWattTech What size for a decent SD card 64? 128? would you recommend?

@MarkWattTech 2 жыл бұрын

@@Jools1478 it depends how much footage you want to record and keep. I have been using 64s in mine and find they hold plenty. When they fill up they just start overwriting the oldest footage and keep on going :) Ideally if you are going to want to save lots of data and have a couple of cameras it might be worth looking into the NVRs as appose to the SD cards.

@MarkWattTech 3 жыл бұрын

At the minute I think it is the E1 Zoom. It has been super reliable and I haven’t had any issues with it. I have used Wyze, blink, amcrest, arlo, tapo and a few other indoor cameras but for me the E1 Zoom has just been super stable. And non of its features are locked behind a subscription. How about you? :)

@Johnno1979 2 жыл бұрын

Normally a fan but the E1 Zoom is RUBBISH. No ether net port. I had to delete and now can't connect to wifi. It says to hold reset but the camera lens is angled down an the reset is hidden.

You can manually move the camera to access the sdcard slot and reset pin hole.
