4K PoE Security Camera System, Home Outdoor IP Camera in 180 Degree Viewing Angle, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Color Night Vision, Two Way Talk, Up to 512GB microSD Card, Duo 2 PoE

I was a Reolink camera early adopter. The early cameras were 1080P and POE. I built my own DVR and had a nice little security system. As the years have gone by I have added pieces to my security system. First came the cameras outfitted with SD cards. This was a nice upgrade. Then they came out with the PTZ zoom cameras. These were nice too. 4K arrived and this was a game changer. The next improvement was motion detection and tracking. This with the 4K I thought was as good as you get. Then came the duo 2. This camera is without a doubt the best camera Reolink has ever made. It is just insane how good it is. The video quality of the side by side cameras in insanely good. The two images are stitched together to appear as one super high quality view. I replaced a camera I had covering the middle part of my back yard. It was a 1080P Reolink. Great camera that served me well. To say the duo is better is an understatement. It is better in every aspect and even more. First it has a full 180 degree view. I can see my entire back yard. The quality of the image is amazing. It has built in IR which lights up my whole back yard which is 40X60. If it detects motion the incandescent spotlights power on and it goes from the black and white infrared to full color. Again the whole back yard is viewable on the camera and in high quality. The advanced motion detection activates the internal SD card and also my DVR. It records in 4K H265 for small file sizes. The motion detection is night and day better than earlier models. Its smart motion detection can detect persons, dogs and vehicles. It is very accurate. No more false triggering the camera. I liked this camera so much I bought a second one with the built in spotlight for my front yard. My final thought is well done Reolink. If you're looking for a reasonably priced security camera with high end quality and features you can't go wrong with this camera.

I purchased two of these 180 degree cameras and was able to replace two cameras with each one of these purchased. Each place on my property I placed one of these cameras I had two cameras pointed to cover the same area with a single camera and with a higher quality picture. The built-in flood light is an excellent bonus as well. The ability to use a single network cable to take advantage of PoE support for data and power makes installation easy. The weather rated connection to protect the RJ-45 jack ensures long term life for an outdoor setup. Options for data storage locally via SD card, an NVR, or in cloud provide many options for storing recorded video.

Everything listed was in the box (even extra mounting screws/anchors), including a short cable for connection of the POE switch to the network modem. You must supply your own ethernet cable to the camera and your own POE switch (my old one died after about 8 years continuous service). Setup was a breeze - took 10 minutes (I had prior POE cameras so know the ropes). The only wrinkle was getting the SD card to seat in the slot. The slot is mounted a little deep in the case, so it is not possible to get the card to stay by pushing with the finger tip. I had to press it into place using the edge of a credit card. Other than that, no problem in setup. The camera even formatted the disk for me. My ethernet wire was already in place from a prior camera. Foolishly, I had let it hang out exposed to weather for > 1 year (under a porch roof) after I removed the old camera, which quit prematurely (it was NOT Reolink). The exposed copper wires in the RJ-45 jack were visibly corroded, so first try, the camera failed to connect. I then cleaned each wire carefully and individually with the edge of 400 grit sandpaper, then a tiny bit of vinegar brushed on with a stiff toothbrush; immediate, firm connection afterward. No problem with drops or disconnects. My particular wall mount was a bit challenging, as I had to drill into rough, irregular a stone-faced wall on the front of my house - covered by a porch roof - perfect to prevent sun shining directly into the lenses. There is some washout in areas of shadow under the roof when the sun is bright, but not too bad. Picture quality is quite good (certainly compared to my old camera), but I can't say it appears to be 4K. The image stitching is perfect. Certainly, the picture quality is sufficient for my purposes. Given my situation, it is very unlikely that license plates will ever present themselves to the camera, so I don't know if resolution is sufficient to read them. Individualizing all the settings - lighting, recording, and alarms - is straightforward and intuitive. The hardware is extremely well-designed and well made of quality materials to very close tolerances. Even the screws are high quality of stainless steel (a reliable sign of quality, in my experience) All-in-all, I am quite pleased with the Reolink POE Duo 2. Very good value for the price. The front of the camera (the black part) runs quite warm/hot. The website says this is normal. Since Reolink knows this and tells customers about it, I am hoping it does not make for premature failure. The duration of the warranty should permit operation through all ambient temperature conditions. In light of the overall quality, I am hoping for the best.

This is a very cool camera. The camera has an 180 degree angle of view which makes it super valuable indoors and outdoors to cover what two cameras normally take. The camera also has a built in motion light which can be turned on remotely. The quality of video is outstanding. The motion light realizes its value at night by showing color pictures and activating when something walks in front of the camera. My only complaint is the picture has a panoramic aspect ratio which removes some of the normal horizontal top/bottom views seen with a "normal" camera.

Easy to setup, wide field of view and good resolution. The only other thing i wanted was a direct stream to a website.

The TL-SG1005P is exactly what a home or small business PoE system needs—simple, reliable, and completely silent thanks to its fanless design. I connected multiple PoE cameras (including REOLINK Duo 2) and the switch handled them effortlessly with stable voltage and zero overheating. Build quality is solid with a metal chassis, and setup truly is “plug and play.” The QoS and IGMP Snooping features help optimize traffic for streaming devices and cameras. Pros: Robust metal housing and fanless quiet operation. Reliable PoE+ power delivery (65W total) Zero-configuration setup. Perfect for 4K security cameras. Compact and stable. Cons: No VLAN or advanced management options (unmanaged) Verdict: If you're looking for a cost-effective, high-stability PoE switch for security cameras or home networking, this model is hard to beat.

Amazing camera, but way too many defects. What I liked: 1. The wide angle picture is amazing! Captures everything in view! 2. Built in security light! Love this feature! So many problems! 1. Camera keeps locking up forcing a reboot. The new firmware update seems to have made it worse. 2. Unable to connect with RTSP so I have no way of recording the video feed. I confirmed with support that I was using the correct URL, but it will not connect. No problem connecting to my other Reolink cameras. 3. Low resolution picture. Could just be their built in software, but it's not high resolution, you can clearly see pixelation even in "Fluent" setting. 4. Image has pink spots. See my screen shot. I'm concerned there are quality control problems with their image sensors. 5. Camera runs HOT! No cooling. No sun shroud. Outer case painted block to further make things worse. This can't be good for the electronics. I expect these will start failing after a few months of service. 6. Camera keeps jumping IP addresses. This was fixed by a firmware update, but still demonstrates the lack of quality control since it was shipped this way. 7. Horrible fisheye! If you can real time stitch images together, then you can real time correct for spherical abortion, but that has not been done. 8. No connectivity LED's Is it on? Working? Who knows! 9. Software does not support downloading of updates. You have to manually hunt for the update and do it yourself. 10. Does not display software revision. At least I couldn't find it. It's not displayed next to the update button! OK. That's enough. I'm done with this camera. Good luck with it everyone!

Reolink designs products that just work. You dont have to be tech savvy to set up or use them. Plug them in and go. This camera is the best yet. It is the perfect solution for the front of the house/garage/driveway. It has a clear view of approximately 100 feet of my frontage, can see all 4 cars parked in my driveway, has Reolink's top notch human and vehicle detection, has programmable flood lights and a settable siren/alarm. This camera replaced two of Reolink's 4K cameras that I had at opposing corners of my driveway pointing in opposing directions. With this camera, I get a single feed for most of the front of my property (everything except the southern corner which is obstructed by a pair of trees.) If you are on the fence about doing the legwork to install POE (wired) security cameras, just bite the bullet and do the work. They are immeasurably better than any of the solar/battery solutions out there. Set them up ONCE, and never mess with them again. Since installing a Reolink system, I have probably saved as much time not messing with cameras as time spent installing the Reolink system. There may be better systems on the market, but the Reolink equipment does everything I want it to do, does it well and is reasonably priced. Could not recommend this product more.
