Best Reolink Wired Security Cameras Setup

Today, I'll show you how I set up the Reolink Trackmix, Duo 2 and the Reolink doorbell to record in their respective SD cards and also record to the Reolink NVR. Connecting these WIFI and PoE cameras from Reolink to your network and not on the back of the NVR will make sure that all the camera and doorbell features work. You don't have to wait for Reolink to release a firmware update for their NVR's.

Thank you for this! I've had 3 Duo 2’s on my NVR setup and I have never had audio from them since addi g them to my system..after adding the POE switch like you did here, I now have audio!

So I just subscribed 3 days ago and you convinced me to get the track mix. But the best part was upgrading my nvr. I never thought of it and I have. I thank you so much. I would love to see my front door and backyard in my Google devices but I don't know how. I tried adding my cameras to reolink smart home on the app but it says no devices found. I'd love that video if you can. My trackmix should be delivered today. I can't wait

Great advice. I've been preaching about this on their subreddit for years. Even for their standard cameras, you get way more flexibility and access to way more features by separating cameras from the NVR with a PoE switch. I call it "power user mode"

I just setup the new NVR the way you presented it in this video. Thanks so much for the help. I have two sets of cameras in the App and Client. What do I do about that and how can I be assured that the cameras are no longer recoding to my laptop hard drive?

[mclovengarcia]

I have a question, so do you need the nvr and the poe switch? They need to be conect to it together?

Great vids.
I have an older amcrest 8 ch 1080p setup with 2 cameras.
I ran into a problem putting a 3rd 1080p camera and it seems 8 ch isn't 8 ch.
Not understanding nvr specs, did I run out of bandwith and thats why my fps dropped to 15 fps?
With your trackmix review I would like to add this camera but it says it's only campatable with Reolink nvr's.
That's ok cause I will put the old system in the back yard and the new system in the front. I also put wyze can v3 on the front door. They work great but not a fan of wifi cameras.
Is this the right move or am I in left field.
Appreciate your reviews!

Thank you for this video.

Can I get your expertise - Do you recommend I purchase a POE bundle with an NVR, or should I do standalone cameras using SD cards and a switch? I just don't understand what advantage I would have using an NVR.

Thank you for this! Very helpful. I have 1 question. If i have an enterprise system, with different Poe switches in a different part of the building. Will the reolink NNR recognize all of the cameras over the network? Thank you!

[camarasseguridad]

I have a question for you. i can connect an nvr in an apartment complex. there are 10 buildings. Could you put 10 poe switches one per building and connect them to this nvr? I would carry the signal to each building with an antenna.

We are looking into the Reolink 4k RLC-823A for the front of the house. I am not sure if that is the one we should get. I already have Ring but I need a camera that is PoE. If we purchase a camera that has PoE can a jammer work on that camera? I think that is what we are currently running into with our Ring Floodlights.

My kit arrives tomorrow. So I have my router on the second floor, with a separate cat5e run down to the garage for the NVR. From there I’ll have all of my camera patch cables run to the exterior of the house. I can I access the camera footage from the PC application? Or can I only access it through the NVR. Thanks in advance.

After watching your video I have installed this set up. Only issue I am having is I can view the camera on NVR channel which doesn’t have all the features as you mentioned but not able to view camera using app. Says “connection failed”, Thoughts?

[samsingh]

Thank you. I looking for this for a long time

hi, i have a problem, we have the same nvr ^_^, i bought the reolink doorbell, if i use the nvr the mobile app doesn't work..
but if I want to use the doorbell, there's no problem only on the app, only so I have to dedicate a poe switch just for the doorbell.

in a nutshell, if I use nvr the app does not find the device, if I want to see it on the NVR (the doorbell) it seems that I lose the possibility of using it with the mobile app

how do you think it can be solved?

[saglike]

I’m a bit lost - what is the benefit to connecting it to the network instead of to the nor and the nvr then to the network

Can 3rd party ONVIF POE CCTV (like IMOU) connect to and be managed by Reolink NVR?

[chuy]

I already have 1 pc poe rlc-823a 2 pcs poe rlc 833a and the nvr rln8-410 the poe switch is necessary and if necessary what is one of these for, I ordered them from your link that you have from amazon

[frankvandiesen]

hi, does that also work with the Reolink PoE switch with 8 PoE ports, 2 Gigabit Uplink ports, up to 120W

Thanks frank

[eunito]

Can I connect all cameras to a poe switch and just one cable to the nvr?

[dbetts]

Everything I try to order POE doorbell camera it's out of stock. How did you people get the doorbell cam?
