REOLINK Wireless Outdoor Security Camera Lumus 2K, Upgraded 4MP Spotlight Color Night Vision, 2.4/5GHz Dual-Band WiFi Plug in Camera, Smart Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, Two-Way Talk, Local Storage

Great camera at great price. Used to monitor inbound pool outside. Easy install and works great on iphone app. Lots of features. You can view on your phone or smart tv. Intuitive and easy to use.

Update: Now that we've had it a minute, we're still pleased. It is a little hiccupy on Google home, but we're pretty ok with that. To be fair, it interrupts the music streaming to display the camera anyway, so we haven't done it that way much at all. The notifications are usually prompt on both of our android phones. When there is a delay, I'm pretty sure it has to due with the sleep status of the phone and not with the camera, though that's really just my theory. The picture quality is great. Being able to block sections out of the motion detection has worked nearly perfectly - the angle of the sun does affect some shadows stretching farther than what i have blocked in the morning, but I haven't decided whether to draw over that part, leave it be, or set up times when notifications are off. It's obviously not a big problem or I would have fixed it. So anyway, that's the update. We haven't needed to use the speaker or microphone, but we did test them. Neat things...you have to have the volume on your phone on to be able to hear the person! (Duh, I know. I always have mine turned off, though, so I just didn't think about it at first). Also downloaded the PC version, which was easy to set up and streams perfectly with no hiccups. Very handy while working, since I can pull the camera up that way and not interrupt my streaming music. And the light is very bright, according to my husband, who has to leave super early in the am for work each day. ;) Original review: Snagged this camera on a flash sale, but I had already mostly decided on this brand for good reviews, reasonable pricing, storage options, and Google compatibility. Before installing it, I plugged it in and set it up to make sure everything would work. No need to drill holes in the house until you verify it's not DOA! Setup if the camera and app was super easy, though there wasn't really anything in the instructions about it. The hard part was belly crawling through our super tiny attic multiple times to map, plan, and fish wires. The plug doesn't appear outdoor rated, but it didn't make sense to us to plug it in outside, anyway. I mean, then someone could just unplug it, duh. So in the teeny tiny attic I went. After several trips and most of the afternoon, we finally got the wires where we wanted. Since I had already set it up to test, all that was left was to mount the camera, plug it in, take a ton of tylenol, have some beer, and wait until the next day to aim it. As far as mounting, it's a nice and easy base, and they even include a little paper template to drill the holes for anchors. The night picture is before going back out to aim the camera, but you get the idea. The field of view is great. The motion detection is adjustable. Neat feature in there, too- you can mark off areas where you don't want it to detect motion. I've marked off the top right corner where it's still picking up the edge of the road and the paw print dangling toward the top left. Turned the motion detection down a few times to eliminate notifications for shadows, etc. Less than a day in and I think I've just about got it fine tuned to pick up a car in the driveway or a person walking up to the house, but to ignore headlights passing, leaves moving, etc. Picture quality seems great to me. I haven't viewed it on the TV yet, but it's more than enough resolution on a phone or Google hub display. I've played with saving pictures and videos. I've seen plenty of screenshots taken from a variety of other camera which were grainy, poorly lit, etc, and you wouldn't be able to identify anyone. These are much more clear than most I've seen, in case we were to need to ID a person or anything. Also, motion push notifications are prompt. The spotlight is plenty bright enough. The night vision is clear, both in grayscale and when it automatically switches to color. Pleased with all aspects.

This is a good camera with a good picture

“I was looking for something affordable but reliable, and this Reolink Lumus totally delivered! Setup was a breeze—just plug it in, connect to WiFi, done. The 2K quality is sharp during the day, and at night? Wow—the spotlight kicks in and gives full color vision, no more blurry black-and-white. AI detects people/vehicles perfectly, so no fake alerts from cats or wind. Two-way talk works great for scaring off strangers, and the siren is loud enough to wake the neighborhood! Waterproof, no monthly fees (local storage rocks), and it looks sleek on my wall. After a month, zero issues—five stars, best security buy I’ve made!”

Great video quality, connects quickly via the app, even when mounted outside and connected to a 2.4ghz network. Vehicle and people detection are good. Integrates well with Home Assistant. Way better than Wyze.

I bought two of these reolink lumus cameras because one of my zmodo cameras went out and got a discount for purchasing two. Figured I'd end up replacing another camera in the near future anyway. I really like this camera for the picture quality/clarity. The spotlight for color night view and two way talk. I attached a screenshot of the zmodo and the reolink mounted in the same location. The zmodo picture is a couple of months old so it's not the same day as the reolink. Reolink 1080p is on the bottom and the Zmodo 720p is on the top. My cons are: 1) My biggest problem is that the wifi reception sucks. The reolink is mounted about 20 feet away from the router which is sitting on the same exterior wall and that's about as far as I can get a decent signal. The camera shows it's getting a full signal of 4 bars. I was originally going to mount it about 5 feet farther, under the sofit, but it barely got a signal. For this to be an outside camera, the signal reception and output is weak. I have another zmodo camera mounted at the opposite side and end of my house from my router and it's signal is ok. It's right at the limit of the zmodos range for my setup. Which is about 200 feet, going through the living room with a tv mounted on the wall and the kitchen with the range hood and of course the walls in between. 2) The power cable is fairly thick at about 1/4 inch, maybe 3/16. It's too thick to run through my window and for the window to seal properly. Whereas, the zmodo is a micro usb cable at around 1/16 of an inch and works just fine. It's also short, I think 15 feet. 3) The reolink won't continuously record to the memory card, only the motion alerts. I want to be able record continuously. If you get the reolink nvr, then you can, but that's another 219 bucks. Which if I stick with reolink (with a different camera), I probably will get the nvr. The app: 4) There isn't a quick way to turn notifications on or off. You have to go to the camera settings to do so. Not a biggie as I typically leave them on. I haven't had to deal with customer service much so I don't know what it's like. I will say that I sent them a message about an extension cable for the power cable using the link in my order so that it would be linked to this particular camera. They responded, asking which model camera I'm referring to. In their response, it shows this camera. Not sure if the person responding wasn't paying attention to the information or what. Because of the signal issue and the thick power cord, I will probably be returning them as those two problems don't go along well with being outdoor cameras. Update: the lumus has developed an issue with the lens. Looks like a black blob. See attached photo. Update 2/7/22 Actually I was wrong, there isn't an issue. The black shadow is the top of my porch light lol. Another big con for me is that I recently discovered that reolink cameras will not work with a vpn. That's a huge problem for me.

I (engineer) just finished running most of the initial tests on this camera and I am impressed. Well done Reolink! Please know that even though BizACT installs these cameras, I am not paid or get any benefit from writing this review. I was simply so impressed with Reolink's accomplishment on this camera, I thought it deserved a free $225 evaluation/review, which is what it costs for me to do a evaluation and review of 1 cam, since it takes about 2 to 3 hours. * Camera packaging is good. * Camera quality build is good. * I am surprised there is no external antenna, and have concerns it may have wifi distance difficulties, and I have not tested signal reception yet. * The pic quality is very good. * FINALLY, a proper motion detection in this price range. The motion response is prompt, and accurate. The motion zone squares are small so you can define areas accurately. * It even has a feature that allows you to black out an area for privacy; especially useful if used in a bedroom as an example or if the recording of the content of a video monitor (like passwords typed) not wanted. * The mic sound pickup is okay, but it definitely needs to be improved by Reolink, but I was satisfied for the range considered. * The Siren sound is not super loud, even at the maximum setting. Suggests better/stronger speaker is needed. * The one feature I would have really like this cam to have is some kind of AI without payment, or freely given Human-only detection. * The app install went well. * The adding of Wifi went well. * Taking snap shots and video recordings WITHOUT A MEMORY CARD and without cloud service was pleasing; kept on phone's memory. * Its flood light works well. * Night vision is very good. * The UI (User Interface; the App) is designed well for usage. * It's power cord is long enough to go through any thickness/hole lengths. * It is a BIG problem not being able to set the Siren volume sound before the siren is enabled, since after you turn the siren on, and increase the volume and turn the siren off, then you need to turn it on again to reduce the volume, and volume adjustment response is poor, but it is just a momentary inconvenience. * I have not tried the memory card usage yet to see if there are any issues with retention or access of data, but judging by it's software and hardware design so far, I do not expect any problems. * Also, the mount design is done brilliantly. I have not mounted it, but I can tell, it provides the ease of usage and movement needed. * It automatically turns on the flood lights upon motion detection. * One thing that MIGHT become a problem once installed/tested outside is that it HAS NO OVERHEAD COVER protection for rain and sun. So, I may end up seeing water droplets on the cam lens distort images. * To Reolink, if you want to add additional software features, I suggest adding ability to save data onto a local server (via NAS, or FTP, etc.), and Human-Detection-only setting. In summary, what really sets this camera apart from others in this price range and higher is its well done motion detection and motion control, and picture quality for both day and night, and truly usable flood light, and a well done UI.

Literally never works when I need it to. It'll work when I check it for random fun, to see what my yard looks like. But then as soon as I'm expecting a package or someone to come by for an important meeting, "Connection failed." Tried on 5ghz and 2.5ghz, same problem. As soon as I get home and join the same wifi network, suddenly it works perfectly fine. I have a reolink argus on the same network that never gives me issues, so I know it's not my wifi. I've removed and readded the camera in the app, I've unplugged it and plugged it back in, ive tried every "fix" I could find online and I still have issues. Can't tell if it's app or camera specific but it's the same company and the other camera type doesn't seem to have this issue. When it works, I think it's just fine. Good quality and mounting hardware is sufficient. But it hardly ever works when I need it to. Also, says color night vision, but all the night vision video it's ever captured is very clearly not in color, so not sure why it's advertised this way when it's all black and white video

crystal clear picture quality and user friendly application features

Got two of these from wharehouse deals. One came repackaged but both appeared brand new. They seem well made and the mount is easy to install/adjust. Set up was easy aside from needing to reset my router for them to recognize my wifi. The app does all the work, just scan the QR code and follow the prompts. Video quality is quite good when you set it to the highest setting. I am using 64gb SD cards and they record a few days worth. You can set them to always record, record certain time frames or only record motion. The motion detection works well just make sure to set your detection zones. Car headlights will set it off at night from time to time but not enough to be annoying. Audio quality is fantastic. I can hear people talking across the road. You can toggle audio on or off. All in all they were a great value and easy to use.

Fantastic add-on camera to my NVR system. Was easy to setup like all Reolink products. Great image and sound quality. I have it setup in the garage, great colour imagery during the day and black & white in pitch black darkness, both crisp with or without the strobe. The cable was extra long so it was very easy for placement to the nearest plug. Wireless connection was a plus for me in this instance.

レオリンク3台所持していますが、便利なので2台を追加購入しました。 暗闇の動物もしっかり録画できてるし、動きを感知してライトと録画をしてくれます。 携帯にも通知が来るので安心です。 アプリも使いやすく、外からお互い話せるのでお勧めです。携帯はアプリさえ入れれば複数台共有して視られます。

سهل التركيب وجودة في المنتج ودقة وضوح للكاميرا بعض الملاحظات اولاً يحتاج انترنت الجيل الرابع وليس الخامس ثانياً: للتخزين يحتاج الاشتراك في التخزين السحابي ثالثاً : يعطيك اشارة على جوالك لكن يعيبه ان الاشارة تكون متأخره تقريباً بثواني فقد لا تجد المثير للانتباه ( الشي الذي ارسال رساله بسبب وجوده )..
