I recently purchased the REOLINK 4K 8Ch Network Video Recorder (NVR) for my home security camera system and I have to say, I am impressed with its performance so far. This NVR only works with Reolink IP cameras, so make sure you have compatible cameras before purchasing.
One of the things I really appreciate about this NVR is its easy setup with plug and play. The PoE compatibility means I only need one Ethernet cable for both power and data transmission for my Reolink PoE cameras. And with the built-in DHCP function, the NVR can run independently without internet access. The setup process was simple and straightforward, and I was able to manage up to 8 cameras simultaneously with ease.
I also love the integration with Reolink's smart cameras. The NVR can integrate with human and vehicle detection and playback from Reolink IP cameras, making it a truly intelligent system. The human and vehicle detection feature is especially useful for me because it reduces false alarms triggered by non-human or non-vehicle related motion. By adding cameras with optical zoom, auto-tracking, two-way talk, and motion-triggered spotlights features, I can even build a cutting-edge home security system customized to my needs.
The Reolink App/Client is free and versatile, making remote viewing and access to my property intuitive and easy. I can monitor my home from anywhere, anytime, without worrying about monthly fees. And with the sound recording and 24x7 NVR recording capability, I can keep tabs on my property and record any incidents that occur.
The built-in 2TB hard drive provides ample space for recordings. And for those who need even more space, an extra 6TB HDD can be added via the eSATA port. This is great for those who want to store recordings for a longer period of time or for businesses that require more storage space.
Overall, I highly recommend the REOLINK 4K 8Ch Network Video Recorder for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use NVR that integrates well with Reolink's smart cameras. The 4.3 out of 5 stars rating is well-deserved, and I have been very satisfied with my purchase.
