    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Guys, you can agree with HookUp or not - but he has the point - Reolink cameras may be a good fit for people that do not need a good night camera, just want to see their yard and get notifications. There is nothing wrong with this. I am not sure why many on this forum hate this message. For...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    The model is: FCM-IP8M-T2499EW28MM , CMOS 1/2.7” 8MP progressive CMOS image sensor So pretty much the same as Reolink. I will try to connect reolink again and make the video - I just installed 5442T and this Amcrest. The only issue with Reolink that I saw - you have fewer parameters to...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I am talking about the one that is sold in this store. 4K, new version. However the sensor is small, so I personally do not see a big difference between this 4K camera and Reolink (despite what others may say on this thread). You can tweak shutter speed, and both Reolink and Amcrest will produce...

    Is that exactly what I said in my reply? Port forwarding will open your network for the things you mentioned, and anyone can try to find a camera vulnerability and hack it. It is bad practice IMHO.

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I have no relation to the guy, and I think I clearly said that using a better camera for night vision is a must. What I did wanted to say that some statements on this thread are just not correct. Reolink may be crap, but price/performance may serve some people "ok" (as any other cheap crap)...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Thank you - an interesting point of view. Just a quick remarks from me on your points: 1) junction box - I did not plan to install one, just a direct mount. 2) you can not choose focal length... RLC-822A I mentioned is 2.8-12mm optical, so not an issue. 3) on the model i had installed...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I am new to this forum (actually my first post), but it is interesting to see the dynamics on Reolink subject :) I did watch this guy and did buy a couple of Reolink cameras 822A (still can return them). I also came across this forum and got Amcrest 4K camera as well for comparison. I am using...
