Reolink E1 Zoom - 5MP Motion Triggered Security Camera Review with Night Vision

Күн бұрын

Having a camera monitoring my home was something I started thinking bout recently. Then Reolink contacted me and offered to send one of theirs out for me to test… I said yes and here we are.
It actually feels really strange to have a camera film you every single time you enter your own home, but at the end of the day, it feels good knowing that this gives me a way to know when and what happened if someone broke in.
Not just that: the Reolink camera also has an alarm feature that can be activated with the app which works great for nighttime alerts when someone entered for example.
Full Disclosure: Reolink sent this product to me for free and they told me to keep it once the review is finished. I received no compensation aside from that and Reolink is not seeing this video before I post it.

Very good and thorough revue. I like that it works with 2.4 and 5 Ghz as I have a mesh network that includes both and it's hard to find one that does that.

I have 2 solar charged battery/inverter backup power sources in my shop. They both have Bluetooth, and both have display panel that shows percent battery charge, amps, volts, time to fully charge, time until the battery is depleted. The Bluetooth is worthless beyond 6 meters. I put one each of the Reolink pet cams near the display screens and can look at all of the details of the battery meter anywhere I get a cell phone signal. As a bonus, I can remotely look around the shop and listen in to hear if one or both inverter fans are running. This is an inexpensive way to monitor my meters from anywhere.

Is there any way to view a live stream over a web browser (and not use the app)?

The problem with the cloud solution is that if the camera is taken, it won't have enough time to be uploaded to.the cloud

Ein bisschen komisch ist es schon beim Betreten unserer Wohnung gefilmt zu werden. 🙈

Jaaaaaa… das Stimmt. Aber man vergisst es ja zum Glück auch relativ schnell 🙈 😊.

There will be a new model name E1 Outdoor coming on 2nd quarter this year with motion auto tracking.

Nice, I have been in contact with Reolink as well for other models. However, I like to review things that I actually use and can have an opinion on. I live in an apartment and thus outdoor versions of these cameras are not yet interesting for me. Maybe in a few years? 👍

forget anything that you may be expecting in the box for a comprehensive explanation of what it should be doing if it works right - ibought mine expecting to ba able to move the cam remotely from software...NOPE i was confused because i thought this thing was motorized so why wouldnt it? when you rotate it you can very clearly get the sensation of gears whirring inside. ive NEVER seen this thing move - not once ....but i did touch the top of it a few minutes ago and its hot!... why the hell would a camera be HOT.... likely answer... the motors are fucked up... not impressed with this POS. wouldnt suggest it to anyone - ( i see HE has zoom features. i clearly do not - they are missing from my app and its current )
