One easy trick I did to get a general location where I was gonna mount the camera is to use my cell phone. I just point in the direction and take a snap shot. That gave me a idea of what is going to be in the picture. So far these seem to be a lot better that the Lorex

I installed this system at my house and outbuilding a month ago. Been happy with it. I hid the NVR in the pantry. I didn't want to have a display in there. I had an unused NUC w/ Windows and installed the app on it, then mounted the NUC behind the main TV and connected with HDMI. I used a small wireless keyboard/touchpad combo to complete the setup. If I want to watch the cameras, I just switch to the NUC on the main TV in the house.

It's going to be tough to find a better camera system at that price point.

I got these installed and the clarity is insane. 8mp footage is very good quality.

Thank you for this concise video. Do you have any review on the newer Reolink system for 2022? I noticed that Amazon has Reolink 4K cameras with PoI IP capability and I am not sure how that capability is of benefit.

The 4k NVRs have the same model number but they are Hardware v2. This is important for recommending upgrades because the new 4k cameras are not decodable at max resolution on the old NVR as well as the video output is only supported up to 1080p on the V1 NVRs. Currently only ship V2 8ch NVRs but they still ship V1 and V2 16Ch NVRs so make sure you have the correct model if your not purchasing a package.

Excellent video landed up buying the four camera system after watching this easy install playback and notifications are spot on thank you

Have to admit those Cameras look awesome!

I install CCTV for a living and I typically use Hikvision and that brand just wants too much for a 5MP IP Camera. My current system on my house is a bunch of leftovers from Customers that have gotten upgraded systems.

Very informative review. I can't imagine why a few people gave it a thumbs done. Answered all my questions and allows you to see it in action. Thank you very much. Just bought a 16 channel Reolink unit. RLK16-800B8

Very helpful. Was thinking of going with Vivint but now having second thoughts and do a DIY install. Thanks for your time.

Nice job Travis- quick, clear and concise. After experiencing a failure just last night of my 4 camera Analog NightOwl system - I certainly am considering the Reolink as a possible swap-out solution. I definitely want to take advantage of the break-out capacity of the IP cameras individually!

[freddean]

Love your videos. Can you answer how or if the mobile app would support 2 nvrs, each with 2 cameras? I'm hoping it would be an easy interface to simultaneously see all 4 cameras from both nrvs.

Reolink phone app is also awesome. I have a camera pointed to my front door, motion only. It will email to a gmail account that I have set-up for the NVR only. Great for documenting and getting an offsite backup of people who approach the front door.

I got the 8 camera 16 channel 4 k system and i bought 2 more camera's putting it up tomorrow

[MCMXI]

Great vid! Super clear and concise. Does the system have phone app with alerts and real time viewing?

[ericdorsey]

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the 4 camera pack, will the NVR store video for about 6 months? what do you recommend for storage, thanks. I have an old set of cameras cctv mounted, not sure they even work, should be just plug and play right w/new cameras and new DVR? thanks gr8 video

[alwaysgrateful]

Great and detailed video, thank YOU!! That system look pretty clear to me. I went with the 8 cam, 16 ch, 4tb.

My question is, if I use the WiFi and there WiFi has an interruption. Will it continue to record if the system is wired to my house?

[BradColemanisHere]

Great video, thanks for the info. What type of connection do you need between the computer and NVR to use the app? I'm wondering how close my computer needs to be to the NVR to use it that way. Thanks.

[RobertWomack]

Thank you! Awesome video. It is very informative. Reolink really come a long way with the 4k technology and a wide variety of cameras. I understand their NVR are only wired and to use their wireless products, you have to rely on their apps.

Another great video/review - I bought one of these Reolink systems on prime day and must get around to setting it up...maybe this weekend!
