Using reolink for 3+ years now and couldn't be more happy. Still maintains the quality and all the functions. Highly recommended

[CaliKim]

This was clearly explained and visualized. Definitely bookmarking this video. Nice job. I feel like this system could be very practical for my house. Well done. This video must have taken quite a while to think through/film/install/edit. VO -= nice job. CG

[derneuekanal]

I think I already have told you that some time back in the past, but as a non native english speaker you have a really awesome voice and pronunciation so that everything is clearly to understand. Although ain’t have trouble to understand people talking English quite fast, I find your voice / video / atmosphere very calming and unique.
Keep it up and stay healthy:)

17:44 — CAT6 you want to push it in as far as possible. You really want to maintain the twist all the way to the connection point. When I terminate cat6 the casing is basically all the way up to the pins.

[ozarkarts]

Excellent video! I especially liked how you explained how to terminate the Ethernet cable, and setting up the DVR system. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything so well!

[billseek]

Wow! Super helpful. I haven't bought anything yet, but your "endorsement" of the system sure helps!

[nerdlabstudios]

Thank you! I saw your vid on the Reolink wireless wiring process, I definitely prefer CCTV along with a PTZ system.
Very useful knowledge for home security and safety. Thank you.

[Honey-.]

Thanks! We bought a restaurant the ex owner all ready had a Reolink system set up. my concern is … should I reset everything and reuse it or should I buy everything again.. plus I don’t want to be observed by someone else that I not even know. And your video help me a lot I don’t have any idea about how this work but you explained so well and help me . Thanks 🙏🏻

[powertrain]

One of the best how to videos I've seen and I've watched plenty. Thank you.

[jameshuett]

Super video. I'm a self proclaimed "techno duffus" and this video really helps.

[sync.e]

legend has it that Carson is still talking about how to set up a wired PoE system...

[terryjones]

Excellent job and very well explained. Thank you so much! I just need four cameras on a remote garage that does not have internet, so these look as though they're just what a I need. Thanks again!

[allenherera]

Very good crystal clear video! I think everyone needs some type of security cameras. Most are fairly cheap and easy to install.

[ModsandHacks]

Just watched the whole video! Really good explanation of everything. Thumbs up to you

[TheSoloAsylum]

I'm installing this very system, just bought is today. This video was super helpful in making my decision.

[dogbreath]

What an awesome tutorial video, Carson! I'm from the tech world and know one when I see it! Thanks Carson!!

[ClarkTangTV]

Thanks so much Carson for helping me to make my decision of getting security camera for my home. I've been thinking and looking for a while but I was not sure which to get. Your video is very helpful. Thank you. God bless.

[markferrick]

Very good video. Thanks for sharing. I specifically like the round plate, with the blue old work electrical box you used in the ceiling. THAT really looked factory designed. The rectangular install looks sub-par. Going to look for some your previous videos.

[BMAD]

Great video Carson. It's probably made me realise that I would need someone professional to install the system, however I really appreciate the review of the RLK.

[finetunedhp]

Thank you for putting together this excellent video and great job on the install!
