Reolink RLC-823A 16X Update - Auto Tracking with Updated Firmware

This is just a quick update on the Reolink RLC-823A 16X review video (linked below) that I made a day ago. Reolink did release a firmware update that added auto motion tracking for persons, vehicles and pets just like on the original RLC-823A. So, we will be testing this out. Also, I will show you how to update the firmware which you do have to do it manually by downloading the firmware to your computer.

I complained about this not having auto-tracking. They told me they might update it via firmware. I am glad to see they weren't kidding.

Wow! Definitely not an easy upgrade process! Thank you for letting everyone know!

Kudos to you for posting an update as soon as you were advised. Between the lack of website management and the commentor in the original video who said they could not reach anyone at the company - I have less trust in this company. Any shady start up can get funding after 2015.

I was waiting for a review of this camera! Thanks for doing one. Living on a farm I was hoping for a good camera to see much closer to things across the farm site.

The fluidity of the tracking has a lot to improve, I hope they ever get that right.

Great cameras though, I love my Reolinks.

Oh wow. That's an excellent update! Didn't see that coming.

Appreciate your quick update on this. Thanks.

That’s right LH, call them out on it. Appreciate your review.

A fantastic camera... If only Ubiquiti would release something like this for the same price range.

[Sammzz]

Would hope to see a feature including a scheduled on and off auto tracking feature, would be a very nice touch for the 823-A's 🙂

[kdscrapping]

Nice . I am waiting for availability of this camera!!

[hucklebuck]

Man I just order 823A an hour before I saw this! Sent them an email hoping they can change my order to the 16x.

I just bought this. I really hope this at the very least outperforms a much much much much more cheaper and older ANNKE 151ck I ordered days earlier. Enough to cause regret purchase of the Duo 2 Wifis because from a 2nd floor placement it’s different use. 5mp 20x zoom vs 8mp 16x optical. Part of me thinking the ANNKE wins me over due to pricing over quality. Thanks for your diligent reviews. Just got it and finally realized this isn’t wifi. 😂 solid construction. Probably would be happier with the ANNKE.

I really like their PC Client software, way better than being limited to a phone.

Thank you so much for the review getting 4 of them 👍

[Rockaland]

They should ship it with the Upgrade so people dont have to fuss with it .. but Im glad they made this upgrade !

[SKV]

The manual firmware download page is not updated, I just purchased a RLC-511A and ran into an error when performing the update. I reached out to Reolink and it looks like there is a newer version of RLC-511A that has a different file which isn't updated on the Reolink site. I wish Reolink would spend some time to update the firmware update page.

Great cam but why is it not possible to automatic zoom?

[CMK-Security]

Can you please review the new 823s2, 1020a (which is upgrade of the 820a and has 10mp instead of 8mp, 840a and 843a? keep up the great reviews 🙂👍
