Reolink NVR Security Camera Install in a Business - Things to Know

Today, I'm going to show you the installation of Reolink NVR Security Camera System with 12 cameras (11 RLC-833A's and 1 Vandal Proof RLC-842A) in a business space. I'll share what I learned and also I made a rookie mistake that I have to redo my work.

I appreciate your honesty and integrity.

HUGE thanks for your great channel and its content. I've just installed a full home Reolink system based on your invaluable advice for all the different cameras, combinations etc. I would have really struggled to find the right solution without your help 👍💯

Nice install! Usually i install the vandal proof on the arm first then the arm to the wall. Then open to adjust and close up. Also silicone the holes, and then the outside perimeter.

Excellent installation! Doing a drop-ceiling install is a lot easier when you can gain access above the ceiling. When I installed my 6-camera POE Reolink NVR system, I had the same issue trying to find the correct CAT6 connectors for my CAT6 ethernet cables. I used a cable tester to make sure my connectors were probably wired before installing the cameras. I would also advise to the DIY installers to not use CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) cables since they are of poor quality and will cause signal problems especially with POE setups. Use twisted copper cable only.

Mates asked me to do his cameras for his shop and managed to get good tips on this. Thank you

Nice job, though I'd use rubber grommets to protect the network cable from rubbing on the metal studs/siding. Love to see more videos like this.

Recently swapped over to a Reolink NVR from a LaView NVR. The Reolink has worked great. I just wish the Reolink system was more compatible with other cameras so I would not need to replace all of the existing cameras. Great video.

That's all I need to know. You are protecting your wife with this. Roger that! Great information here.

One tip for anyone running cable. Whenever possible leave an extra loop of cable of a couple feet (or more) long where you drop your cables down to the cameras or NVR. Future you will think you if you need to say reterminate a connection. ;)

Great video. I am actually planning the exact same thing, physical therapy clinic and home install.. Great to know u did it before and suggest a DIY install.

Cheers

Thanks for this video, useful as I am looking to jump into the Reolink ecosystem now.
Also it’s good to see the limitations of the Klein Tools crimper.

I love your videos and the ringing spotlight cam and I bought a Blink outdoor for two pack and they were great thank you for the suggestions on your other videos

6:43 the o-ring goes on the ethernet connector side. the thick gasket does all the sealing around the cable. The RJ45 connector side (where you twist it on) NEEDS that seal, i’m not sure how you got it to twist on without it as the pressure from the o-ring is usually the thing putting the pressure on to keep it in place. Please see the reolink site for instructions on the waterproof lid.

the only video that works and guide. super thanks

The only thing about vandal proof cams, if they get wet at night due to the rain, so water on the bubble, the IR light blurs everything and you can't see anything until it's dry. That's any bracket/orientation I've found.

[danielbroadwell]

Great video! I was really hoping after the 842A only had 2-axis rotation they would make the next generation of vandal proof cameras like the 843a, 840a, and the 540a a 3-axis rotation so it would have the same capabilities as the 833a. The limitations of this simple feature is what keeps me from being able to install these vandal proof cameras on many installs.

[whatevah]

Always use a cable tester BEFORE doing work that's a pita to undo, live and learn ;)

[bkaza]

Any update on a video review for the 833A, please?

[WayneLiu]

Very nice vid! I wish I can become you for my family and friends for all installation needs someday 😂

[arabatlianh]

Do they know have a mounting bracket for there new vandal cameras now?
