I have 14 cameras ranging in price from $50 to $3500. 5 of them are Reolinks. Several of them are even in locations, like the attic, that are perfectly fine for what they do.
One of them is a 410 on the west side of my house. The aperature is closed down very small even at night with IR which means everything close up is nearly in focus even though the focus is pretty much at infinity.
The result is that you see the bugs zipping around at night 12 inches from the camera. It makes it nearly unusable. The 411s I have outside is much better and you don't see the bugs like in the 410 because it has a faster lens and the aperture is open wider.
The 410 is aweful. Replacing it with a cheap $90 Dahua Starlight in a few days.
