Love that you put the most useful part right at the beginning, just ordered the reolink, very good audio! Thanks!

I like the wider vertical view of the Ring Doorbell Pro 2 for the purpose of seeing packages at the front door, but like the playback audio on the Reolink better.

Your videos are the best. I’m definitely using your links when I purchase my cameras. Thank you! 😊🙏❤️

I’ve owned the Ring, Reolink, and Amcrest video doorbells and I must say for price and performance the Reolink is tough to beat. The Reolink can operate both over WiFi and Ethernet regardless of version, it can use up to a 256 GB SD card locally, as well as being able to be linked to a security DVR/NVR, to a computer or to an NAS, it’s also 5MP and can have the light around the button and/or IR lights turned off. While Amcrest is nice as well it costs more for less quality and doesn’t offer a POE option. While I stuck with the WiFi version as it offers more connectivity and power options. The only thing I don’t like is Reolink doesn’t have a secure mounting option as all you need to remove the doorbell as a pin, nail, or even a toothpick.
Ring doesn’t secure their video and it isn’t encrypted through their entire process and Ring doesn’t allow you to store or even monitor your device locally and everything must go through the internet; you also are forced to pay to store any video. Reolink can ring the included chime even if the internet is down as the doorbell links to the chime outside of WiFi.

Im still using the ring video doorbell 2nd gen, but I mostly run ReoLink cameras. If I upgrade my setup I'll probably go with reolink with poe and add a network cable to my wiring for the doorbell.

Very informative and helpful video, I don't plan to buy one for now, but i like to watch this kind of stuff. Thanks again and blessings from Italy

To be fair, you can adjust the brightness and other image enhancements on the Reolink so your face would not be too dark as in your presentation.

5:30 Sweet! I'm sold! I'll get the Ring Pro 2 and stand in front of it until I feel better about myself. 🤣

Reolink can be completely free of the cloud which means it will still work even if the internet is down as long as you are on the same wifi network as the doorbell, Ring won't work without internet as it's always connected to the cloud even when you're at home on the same wifi network as the doorbell. It does have slightly better sound quality from the outside though. Reolink does have patch cable option so resistant to jamming and possibly lower latency and less prone to interference. It will work with Reolink NVR and even some other ones so it's DIY friendly for cloud cutters and better for privacy.

Watched this video again after installing my own Reolink WiFi doorbell.
The FOV and audio quality (coming out of the doorbell) are a bit of a disappointment but everything else seems better on the Reolink.
Hopefully a second version will fix the few cons of this doorbell.

Do you get motion detection when your are outside of home network on the reolink without a membership

[henryairconcepts]

I have reolink NVR already. If I choose reolink doorbel wifi, can it still connected to the NVR ?

[JohnSmith-qtpv]

Best feature the reolink has is being able to stream and record to a private FTP server over LAN

[MutzG]

Having owned and used both for a while now, whilst the reolink is good, it has alot a niggles. As a doorbell, the ring is hard to beat.

[MisterMcKnight]

Question for the pros, looking to buy my first camera doorbell here—— It appears the ReoLink stores video locally via memory card, does it also back it up on a cloud in real time? If someone where to come up to my door and rip it off the wall would my footage of the event be lost with the device?

[zhuodonghuang]

You can use home assistant to get the richtext notification without subscription

[markd.songsandstuff]

Thanks for all your informative videos, you keep them easy to understand for us non technical people. I don't understand what's the difference in Reolink's detection type, person or visitor??

[yaserditta]

Ring doorbell camera needs monthly subscription that will continue to rise, while I already own Reolink CCTV with NVR *Poe* reolink door dont require monthly subscription.

Im in market for doorbell camera, I just cancelled my Ring doorbell pro 2 for a Reolink doorbell poe which can connect to my NVR.

[mitchyv]

Reolink doorbell recording 24/7 is the difference. Ring preview between motion notifications is worthless

[MrWhaatay]

Reolink is $70 today for Prime Day in July. They also have a newer one with 3:4 head to toe and package detection for $80.
