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

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

Thank you so much! I always appreciate when someone recognizes the work that went into a video. This one particularly spanned 4-5 different days of filming, and then took me quite a while to edit as well due to all the footage I had!

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

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!

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!

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

Very good information and video! You answered several of my questions and will probably be buying this camara system. Thank you! 👍

Trying to make this my side hustle. Great info and video. Thanks man

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

GREAT video. Super detailed!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

This was helpful ! I liked the vertical outdoor mounting shown because that's my best option. I'm getting protective hoods for all my outdoor cams mounted like this, in hopes of keeping the lens cleaner and extending cam life.

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.

Worth a sub for the speed and clarity

Excellent production !

Very thorough and very informative video!! ReoLink should hire you!!

Awesome video! Thank you

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.

Great video I learned plenty.

great info thanks

Great video thanks 😊

Very impressed. Great personality for a YT channel.

So helpful video! Thanks for sharing with us. I just have a question, did you use any switch to connect the cameras to the router? Any specific ip or internet config you made?

De verdad, muy buen trabajo amigo. Por favor, ¿podrías averiguar si se pueden hacer backups de las grabaciones en Google Drive del NVR del Reolink? Espero puedas ayudarme con esa duda. Muchas gracias y saludos desde Chile.

Awesome work in making this video thanks for your time and patience. Keep up the great work. One question the way the cam locks into the mount seems too easy for someone to take off to me. Does it go on an off that easy?

@gwaeron8630

2 жыл бұрын

Yes they just twist and the camera comes off. Okay if it is out of reach. The cable will be the only thing stopping the camera from being taken.

Worth every penny

Why did you not use a weather tight connection to the outdoor camera? It creates a water tight seal and prevents corrosion. The camera mount has openings which expose the connection to the elements. Doing this will drastically extend the life of the cameras.

Outstanding vid. Have you seen the recording on this or any other system get activated due to the sudden brightness when a floodlight switches on? This is a problem on my old system that I am trying to avoid when I upgrade.

Wow…. Amazing

Great video!! Have a question, im assuming you may use one a poe switch downstream to avoid having to install a cable per camera. I want to install several camaras that are all near each other and also quite far away from the nvr.

@Sergio Nunez You must have one RJ45 cable routed from each camera to the NVR so an audio/video feed is supplied. An alternative with ReoLink is to use wireless cameras for locations you don't want to run ethernet cable.

very good video

Marvellous.

HEY aren't you the Drone Boy? I learned a lot watching you! Thanks Drone Boy!! 😉😄🚁

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 🙏🏻

Hi there I have a few questions if I may Which is better dome cameras or the bullet cameras Does the systems have a app for your phone especially iPhone Also can you change out the hard drives are they just standard internal hard drives as I do not like Seagate drives I would prefer to have western digital installed inside is that possible thanks

Brilliant video! I am just in my search for a system and never heard of this brand. Is there a newer model since this video you would recommend. Whats your thoughts on lorex?

Thank you for the great video tutorial. I have a question regarding the connection from the switch to the NVR or vice versa. I will be setting up a full wired ethernet system in my house. Do i need to run the NVR through the switch ?

Hi, at around 18:20 mark you didn’t put the weathershield ring before you terminate it so when you connect them together you can lock them? I also tape it after with self amalgamating rubber tape for extra seal likewise I go round once or twice on the junction box seal too. And I also seal the hole inside the junction with silicone sealant where the cable pass through once I get the correct length I needed inside the junction box.

I'm curious to know if the video feed can be used for streaming in OBS

Do you find when running cable especially for residential it's best to run it around the exterior of the building rather than pulling up flooring boards etc?

Hey mate, great video by the way. I have a question if I may, I need to install some cameras that will be relatively low to the ground 2.3m to be exact. My understanding is dome cameras are ment to be more vandle proof ( harder to pull off the wall ect) but it looked like someone could just walk up and unscrew it? is this the case? does something lock it in and I missed it?

Most security cameras use security screws which a flat head or Phillips screwdriver won't be able to remove. Hopefully this helps.

Bra I advise using a peel n seal donut up against that steel and some silicone. Good vid👍👍

Is it possible to turn off the IR on one of the cameras? I'm gonna mount one of the cameras inside pointing outside through the window glass and am afraid there will be a glare because of the IR. Please answer if you know) Thank you.

If you can connect the cable from the ethernet port in the room to the NVR, you can use that! But yes, each camera must be plugged into the NVR individually.

Great video! But let’s say I want to install 4 cameras on one side of my house and another 4 on the opposite side. Is there a smart switch for Poe that I can connect all 8 to in my attic space but only one wire to my nvr below ?

awesome video, could i be cheeky and ask you for your recommended dvr and cams please. i have a hd swann system and video play back is shocking, grainy and blury ! live its ok but again digital zoom very poor also. looking for advice please and thanks.

How can I find the video to install cables in attic? Thanks, great video here

Very clear explanation. I have a question though, can the cameras be connected through a ip lan network, or only directly to the nvr?

Can I network an external poe switch to the internal nvr switch? and connect ip cameras to the external switch, that will be given ip addresses from the nvr internal switch as if i connected those cameras directly to the nvr internal switch?

Hey Very nice Would like color in night mode. Nice tutorial

As I see this is about a year old, have you been faced with lightening nearby causing the system to crash and reboot. I am near the capital of lightening here in the US and experienced originally lightening knocking out the cameras so that they needed to be replaced. I replaced the electrical box with a plastic one and that eliminated that issue. Now I have a 16 unit NVR that lightening knocking the whole unit even though it's on UPS. boxes for this are connected to metal eve's and I think this is providing a ground that may be feeding back through the system to have it trip.

Any idea if there's a way to add wings to the NVR to mount it into a rack?

What is the make and model number of the network rack on casters you show in the video that houses the NVR?

Can this be sent to a app or a mobile phone miles away from the system?

Any difference between the two style cameras other than how they look? How easy are the dome to aim? I would suggest some silicone caulking around the box at the wall.

@kookiedabear

2 жыл бұрын

Specs on bullet and dome cameras are the same, it's a matter of preference. Silicone is not necessary, but the included weather-tight connectors should be installed before crimping on the RJ45 connector to ensure the connection is as sealed as the camera.

Can you use Cat5 cable longer than the 60' provided? What the limit on the length?

Do you ever review GW security starvis starlight 8mp camera kit with nvr

cool. Live view and recording internet accessible?

Do they offer 2 way talk and flood light cameras? Can you have it trigger smart lights if a person is detected? Thanks

Does the NVR allow you to view only motion detection or notification timeframes? Is there an alarm on the notification? If so, can you shut it off?

Hi, I was wondering if you can refer a cheaper camera with 8 camera's. Thanks

After some checking, I'm sold. One question for your comment on the new upgraded unit to avoid false alerts. I contacted Reolink and I am still trying to get a solid answer. I am comparing both units you mention in the video; the RLK16-800D8 & the RLK16-820D8-A. Reolink is telling me only that the cheaper model (but with more hard drive) has the person vehicle detection but will not confirm if its as good or has the same software as the 820D model you mention in the video. Can you provide backup or explain, confirm the 820D is better? Regarding facial recognition to avoid false alerts. Thank you for your work.

What if there is a preexisting jb. How do you fit a reolink onto a non reolink jb?

Is it possible with the Reolink RLK16-410B8 system to us a POE switch in my detached garage, about 40 feet from the house, so I only need to run 1 cable between the buildings?

Can u record audio on it? Would you need another wire to record audio?

If I have POE over my router and my own hard drive do I need to use the NVR for anything other than setup?

Hi, how about spider web on these reolink turret cameras? I just got rlc-510a camera system and all my bullet camera's are covered with spider web if I use night vision with IR leds. Some people saying needs changing from bullet to turret style camera some saying that I have to turn off IR lights and use external IR source.

Wow I been out the game since 2015. When did those pass thru heads come out? Those are a game changer damn lol

This is a great video. On the off-chance someone sees this comment that would know the answer, are you able to connect any other wired/wireless camera to this system? Like a doorbell camera for instance, I looked around and it doesn't look like Reolink makes one.

Can you install amcrest or Foscam cameras on the NVR for reolink

Maybe I missed something. I see the power cord but how do each individual camera get power?

can you link what type of ehternet cable you used ?

Hi I'm installing this on my house does the NVR need to be on the network in other to see the cameras ? or i can just plug them in rights out of the box to the NVR to see them/. Thanks you!!!

No, the NVR does not have to be connected to your network router to test the cameras. The NVR is Power Over Ethernet abled out of the box; so plugging them into the NVR without the network connection will produce a display.
