Useful review. Short, straight to the point, with demo. Thanx for this.

Thanks for this review, LH. I just got the 4 camera set from Amazon and they're working great... Turned off the IR lights and lit up out side the window with motion lights for outside viewing. Used a "L" bracket upside down and it's screw in base to attach it to the side of the window sill while keeping the camera upright... Works Great... Thanks again

Wow you’re the only person that helped me locate where the micro ss goes, I was about to return the camera. Thanks! So helpful

Thank you for being extremely helpful. My friend and I would never have set up her camera if it wasn’t for your video so thank you so much we are now subscribers

The first video that came up when I was looking into one of these cams. It is the only video I needed - it contained answers to every question I had, even showing the power connector so I know that is a mini plug. Inclusion of actual footage including audio is so often missed when people do demos so that was brilliant too. Thanks, I appreciate the effort you put in to make this.

I have watched your Reolink reviews and have both the cameras every time. They are really good, no monthly subscription if you use a micro SD card.

Great video on this product! Thank you!

I like the 360 rotation

Thank you very much ! Yvonne

Great video, and review...i just ordered one of 5mp from Aliexpress...soon as i receive it i let you now how it works...hello, by the way, i am Maryo from Bucharest, Romania, i always watch your videos, great job helping and advice us, here :) .

Excellent review 👍

Excellent video!

Terbaik la baru dok review nak beli e1 pro ni 👍🏼

I love your videos and Channel

I have owned two of these cameras for a couple of months now and find them to be very good with one exception; there is no one button motion detection disable in the app. This is an important feature if you are going to use these as security cameras. Ideally a person would like to turn the motion detection feature off when home and on when away. Without this, if bound to the cloud service, the camera will record every motion detection it sees creating a mass of videos in the cloud. If an SD card is installed and recording enabled, it too will be filled with every motion detection occurrence. I contacted Reolink about this as they had a statement on their support page stating “In the near future, we will add a button to enable or disable motion detection directly”. Their response was “I double confirmed with the R&D people and they replied that this feature may not be completed recently. It's complicated and they need time to evaluate and analyze.” Since then, they have removed this statement from their support web page and I don’t expect them to fix this issue anytime soon. These are great cameras if all you want to do is monitor something real time but they are poor security cameras do to the lack of easily controlling motion detection.

Thank you, LifeHackster, for another brilliant review. The camera seems excellent. The microphone sound is too quiet for my liking. Which is surprising as I've got two Reolink Go cameras and the sound is perfect for me. I must agree with "my 2bar" about the lack of cloud service in the UK. I have been waiting for it, but nothing has come across yet. That is sadly a real let down. I like reolink products, but they need to the cloud service in the UK going soon.

thank you

Mate good to see you again bought cam as per your review and you have never failed me. Mate how does it compare to C2 Pro response time after initial triggered cool time. Thanks.

Thank you for this review. I didn't realize it didn't have motion TRACKING, so I think I will go with another camera. I love your honest reviews BTW!

Thanks for the review video. I wish I’d watched before buying this. I only paid $30 USD on eBay, refurbished, from Reolink’s store, so not a huge loss. But I’m so disappointed that their description says it has motion tracking (like the Yi IoT and Wyze cameras I’ve had for 3+ years), but it actually doesn’t. It’s really not much better than a fixed non-PTZ camera. I also didn’t know until you said it that this doesn’t have PIR, unlike the two Reolink Argus cameras I already have. It’s video quality is good but somehow the Wyze v3 beats it. I’m actually thinking now of returning it, assuming I can do so. I was really hoping I would like this camera because it doesn’t require a subscription for event clips, and I already have the app.

As always mate good review!can u tell me please what's the length of the power cable ,cz I need to extend it and dunno how much I need?Cheers

If it had Patrol Mode it would be the perfect camera for me.

Can you do a review of the Reolink E1 Zoom? Thanks

Hi thanks for vide. May I ask microSD card maximum how much capacity we can use for E1.? Thanks

Great, informative video. Could you review Neos SmartCam, please? We in the UK do not seem to have Wyze Cam like you in the US, but Neos looks like Wyze Cam to me and cost almost the same. Please investigate for us.

so as with other reolinks, does this support footage storage straight to the client on PC without cloud service or sd-card/NVR?

any idea if you can share this with a single person outside of your house without having to share all of your cameras? Example use to have conversation with someone in another state or different house?

I was looking again at all you Reolink camera reviews because they are now being sold in Australia. You said you would not use motion tracking as it would draw attention to it due to the motor noise. Now, would you also not use the siren and custom alarm sound? As this would also (massively) draw attention.

What does cool down mean? Also will the app work on ipad? Thanks

Is there a source for a replacement ceiling mount for the Reolink E1 cameras? I have not broken mine but the little plastic "wings" seem very thin and fragile.

I bought one of these per your recommendation. So far it had a bit of problems getting it installed and now it keeps dropping connection and unless you unplug and replug to get it "reset". And then it drops connection within minutes. Working with support, so I trust they will replace or figure out the problems.

Hi sir, do you know if after setting up and uf just said if you are out for few days and have off your internet and if just said there is a power outage and when the power is back will it start recording or not. Tq.

Does this camera have to stay plugged in to the cord it can I take it off ?

Should I get the reolink e1 pro or eufy c24 2k or c24 2k pan and tilt

Bought this having a reolink NVR outdoor system. Tried every way to have it connect to my wifi and it wont connect as my NVR is hard linked in. Many complaints on amazon about this. Going to try a wyze or Yi maybe.

This camera in your review seems better than the ecobee SmartCamera - Indoor WiFi Security Camera, Smart Home Security System, 1080p HD 180 Degree FOV, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa Built In. Agree? Disagree?

Hi, bro are you going to review the E1 Zoom anytime soon?

Hi, can this camera store the videos on a personal LAN NAS? Thanks.

Once installed and running, can it be unplugged and moved without having to re-install?

Anyone know why my E1-pros ( i have several) just go off line every few months but the bigger outside bullet cams dont ? All my E1 cams go out and i gotta re install them.

hi, nice video, but I ned Help please, REOLINK E1 ZOOM OR WYZE CAM PAN ? Need a good quality image, use to monitor my printer and soon baby ;) Will save some high resolution of video too from time to time of my prints. Which one do you recommend for long term? Thanks

I can use it without the cloud, only SD card, and still see recorded footage (motion alerts only)?

Can you provide a tutorial of how to recover footage or review the past 24 hour segment of activity?

How do you share the camera to other phones?

Can this IP camera be hooked or linked to more than one smartphone at the same time? Say the camera is placed inside my elderly mom's home and I when away can use the two-way talk feature to visit with my mom when I am in the next state. Then can my brother (at some third location) also use this same camera via his own smartphone when he wants to talk to mom (or even to view her in real-time)?

Thanks great Video. Why does my E1 have an Ethernet port

They say you can hook it up to the NVR do you know how to do that? I have a reolink NVR and I want this camera because they say you can connect it to the NVR for 24/7 recording

Apparently the “Mark” feature at 7 minutes 50 seconds on this video is no longer available on any of the E1 cameras. Can you confirm this on this E1 Pro? Thank you 🙏

Can I add a second E1 Pro to Nexger Router ,if so how? Thank You

Hi,i love your home its gorgeous and your son called you sir so respectful amazing...

What's better this or c2 pro

hi, what reolink apps are you using? it seems its different from the one i'm using. i don't have the saving options on PTZ

Is there a cat5 hookup on the cam for the nvr?

Whats the cool off time on this and pro version?

I have set up the camera but when I open the app on another wifi location when I’m out, do I have to reset wifi connection for the app? I’m worried this will disconnect the camera from the other wifi when left on also. Thank you

Great. Camera. But I you did not say how to set it if you want to mount it on the ceiling. I see everything upside down

Just bought this for watching our dog! In order to connect 2 phones to view the camera, do you do the whole setup on the 2nd phone again or do you login with the first phone credentials?

does it have continued recording ?

If there is a problem with wifi, can still connect to the phone ?

Where is the focus near/far?

If there’s a power outage can this model still record, footage without interruption if I have an SD card in the device.?

What about the cloud storage, have you tried it and if you did I have a question about it that I can’t figure out.

Would it connect with 5g internet?

Can you use it outdoor?

Can this camera works in Caribbean country too

Does the camera and the phone needs to be of the same wifi? Can it be viewed from different country?

Are the night vision lights visible to the naked eye ?? If not what camera would you recommend that has hidden LEDs ir for night vision..pls help thank you

how does it work with blueiris

Can It continue streaming for the whole night via google nest hub, without stopping the stream ?

Does this Reolink E1 Pro have a 7 day free event recording look back?

Hi LifeHackster, Do you think this would work well as a baby monitor? Are the IR lights visible? Also can you record 24/7 to the SD card or is it only when movement is detected? Thanks for your advice.

Any ideas how am I supposed to stop receiving fals notification when the light switch on/off??

How do you connect it to the nvr? I don't see an ethernet port on it

How do you delete videos from the memory card from the app

Hello. So I’m a new how owner and I’ve always wanted to have cameras that I can access inside and out of my house at any point of the day to 1. Make sure my kids have gotten home ok and 2. Make sure my dog is ok as well. What do you recommend for cameras that have great push notifications but is wired and not gonna crucify my bandwidth. Thanks a long time follower but first time commenting!

How far can it detect motion

Can this model be used outdoor?

What sensor inside?

I'm looking for a indoor camera that's 3 megapixels or above with the option to turn off the infrared lights any suggestions would be helpful I'm in the UK one that will not break down after 6 months

Why did you skip the two-way Talk feature in the opening?

When viewing live I get curves in the video images. Faces look very curved and chubby, is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

My new E1 Pro (from Amazon) does not have a bookmark button under PTZ (like yours) do you think what I got is not a real Reolink?

I had a question in regards to the lapse during viewing on mobile phone. Also the lapse of real-time when viewing on Google Nest Hub? Thanks always for your reviews!

I have a Verizon internet without cable, how can I set up?

Multiple cameras?

How can I email to my property management any time and date of my camera activity.

How many full days are recorded in 64GB memory card?...plse tell sir

I was oh so close to buying one until I read that recording to the SD card is ONLY for event recording. You need an NVR to record 24/7. Wyze can record 24/7 to an SD card. Why is this so?

Can these cams record to Qnap??

Mine didn’t come with an SD card because I didn’t find it anywhere

Have they fixed the microphone... it's way too low.

This has no end ! :) looking at these cams for days, I almost went for the Wyze, then, the PAN, then Reolink C2 Pro, then this newer E1 Zoom since it looks that all the C2Pro are out of stock. So, if will, is better to wait for the C2Pro or the E1Zoom is much similar, beside the wi-fi antenna ? thanks

I literally just got a wyze today. Looking for RTSP only. Throw it into vlc, watch from my phone or a tablet. Looking for a baby cam, all the traditional cams aren't great. Would you recommend this from reolink or another one camera that reolink has.

Hello! Anyone knows what the length of the power cable is? I heard it's 1,5 m from the Reolink, but buyers say it's up to 3 m. Anyone has the camera and can measure, please? (: @LifeHackster, could you measure the length of the cable, pretty please? :)

Pls advise, Reolink E1 Pro or Reolink C1 Pro? Thanks

today is 04/12/2022 and i just got my Reolink E1 Pro. Installed the app on my iphone. I do not see the motion sensor on the app, also bought a new Samsun 128GB miscro SD card that the camera can not detect. i tried to move in front of the camera and see if i get notification by email, that faild as well. what the heck is going on? im pissed, nothing works and SD card is useless too.

I want to record the area by my front door. I want to put my camera behind the window facing the front door to see who is coming or going at the front door. Would this camera be able to record through the window or would the glass (dual pane) window prevent the camera from sending infrared signal though it to detect motion to start recording.

How do I turn alarm off on RELINK E1 PRO?

Is this camera in the UK yet can't find it on Amazon

I'm trying to read my cameras but everytime I try to, it just keeps beeping.
