Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic View, Motion Track, F1.6 Color Night Vision, Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, 2 Way Talk, Supports 24/7 Recording

I just got this to replace the same thing I had in a wireless version, since I have decided to go POE and run ethernet to each point rather than relying on wireless and power bricks. I like that all I had to do was remove the old one from the mount, as they use the same mount, so I had just one screw to remove and tighten again on the new camera to get it up and running. Wide angle is great, although in certain lighting situations you can see the line between the two cameras, but mostly you don't see it in the course of normal daily use. Great clarity, and works well at night also since my sidewalk is only about 25 or so feet from the garage this is mounted on. Spotlight at least makes people aware that they're monitored at night. The wireless version of this would drop randomly despite having as strong a signal as possible, whether on my own mesh or on the Reolink's own 2.4GHZ. Once I moved to POE and replaced the wireless version of this with the POE version, not a single drop. Works well.

A couple years ago, I purchased the Reolink DVR with 4 cameras, and had them mounted on the 4 corners of my home. 2 in the front yard facing each other so I can see the whole area, and 2 in the back yard facing each other. I've always wanted better side yard visibility since I've had a few instances now of people crossing through my sideyard and even contruction people working for a neighbor who were in my side yard. So, I bought this on sale (thank you Amazon and Reolink) to cover the back yard, and repointed the ones on the corners to see the side yard. You can see in the screenshot above, I can now see all of my yard and have a great view of the backyard. The clarity is nice. I also like the floodlight feature on it as well as the 2 way communications available. The siren COULD be louder, but I won't be using that much (hopefully). As I've mentioned in previous reveiws, I love that it's a POE camera since it won't need batteries and can't be jammed by a FlipperZero or other wireless jamming device. It can't be disabled without you first having been recorded. That being said, I would recommend pairing it with the DVR for that purpose. It can take up to 256GB of memory in an SD card, but that can be removed. If paired with a DVR indoors, they can take the camera or remove the card, but they're still recorded securely in your home! Also, if you're like me and have your network equipment on a battery backup, cutting power to your home won't kill this camera. It will run on the juice being supplied across the network! Sweet! If you're not interested in that, can't get network cables to the location you plan to mount it, or just prefer wireless still, then go for the wifi version of this camera. I'm still impressed with the rest of the features enough to suggest it! For the techies out there like me, it plays nicely with all the IOT services. Apple Homekit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and (my favorite) HomeAssistant all play well with it! In Alexa and HomeAssistant (the two I've tested the most with it) even the options to send voice back to it, trigger the siren, and trigger the flood light are all available! I'm already testing automations in HomeAssistant now! For the price, this is a great camera. My only complaint is a nit-picky one, and that is that in the DVR dashboard it comes across a bit small because it's panoramic. I hope they add layouts in the DVR to accomodate these later! Until then, I'm still satisfied. It's been worth every buck!

We have this camera mounted to the top of our house and it has held up so well! We have high winds in our area and we’ve never had an issue with this camera. We replaced an older model with this camera and it was easy to set up this new one. You do have to adjust it by hand which can be a little irritating. It’s great at sensing motion, people, vehicles, and animals. We love REOLINK and feel that they have high quality cameras for a good price.

This is a great, high definition camera sporting a 180 degree field of view with minimal distortion. It uses the same mounting bracket as the Duo 2 and can be dropped into an existing setup easily, **BUT** vertically, the FOV is not as tall as the Duo 2. For my application, I am still able to see everything I need to, but this is an important difference to note. It's maybe 5 fewer degrees vertically. Horizontally, you can still see an impressive 180 degrees with only minor distortion in the center of the picture from stitching the two camera feeds together. This camera easily connects to AgentDVR, and AgentDVR is even able to use data from the camera's AI motion and object detection to tag videos (with keywords including "detected", "vehicle", "people", "animal") or trigger recordings. FTP recording also works very well, although I had trouble with Auto/PASV transport and had to set it to Port to get it to work properly. This camera performs extremely well during the day. It's able to read the license plate of a moving vehicle from about 50 feet away with almost perfect clarity. At ~25mph the vehicle almost looks like it's not moving. At night, performance is still impressive, you can read the license plate of a stationary vehicle but a moving vehicle will only be a blur. You can still make out a good amount of detail if you adjust the image settings, but there's only so much you can do for night surveillance. I have had some problems getting the camera to switch between day mode and night color mode. The street outside my house has LED street lights, which I guess is bright enough to confuse the light sensor. Weirdly, though, the camera has no problem switching from day to black-and-white (infrared) night mode... I've tried editing the manual picture settings for color night mode, and it's definitely not kicking in; only changing the picture settings for day mode affects it. It's a bummer because the settings that maximize clarity in my situation are a LOT different for day and night mode. The reason this review is for four stars instead of five is a mix of the reduced vertical field of view and the weirdness switching to night mode. I wish it was made clearer that the field of view is reduced (even just a screenshot showing what the field of view actually is, not necessarily directly comparing the two), and not being able to adjust the color night mode is annoying. Despite these negatives, it is still a fantastic camera with amazing picture quality, and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

Wide Coverage and Great Clarity—Solid NVR Setup I’m running two of these on an 8-channel NVR with PoE power, and they’ve been working great. Being able to record 24/7 with motion tagging and cover such a wide area with one camera is a big advantage. The 180° panoramic view really cuts down on needing multiple cameras to cover the same space. The app makes it easy to navigate between cameras, and having everything displayed on a TV through the NVR is a nice bonus for monitoring. Video quality is sharp, digital zoom works well, and night vision is crisp and clear with very little ghosting. These cameras cover a large area with a single unit, which makes them a great value for the price. As part of my overall setup, I’m running a full Reolink system with both hardwired NVR cameras and cellular units all tied together in one app (see my other reviews), and everything integrates well. If you’re looking for wide coverage, solid clarity, and reliable performance in this price range, it’s hard to beat these. See More. Cover More. Worry Less.

I tried to set up and learn this system as quickly as possible in case I wasn’t satisfied, then realized that once I ran the wire to the locations and set the PoE cameras up, I was stuck with it. Hopefully this helps at least one other person out, because there’s no way they have such a high rating from real customers!! This rating is a result of this being an Amazon product. Things I don’t love about Reolink NVR + Cameras: 1. Non responsive support. 2. Doorbell has poor camera view 3. Doorbell motion and person detections is musical chime not spoken 4. Doorbell camera does not integrate with Alexa smart devices. 5. Doorbell camera does not announce through smart devices, only on little paired speaker 6. Doorbell WiFi set up is very frustrating and a poor user experience. Takes a long time before the camera connects to the wifi and is detected by the NVR on the same network. 7. Doorbell camera connection is unstable 8. All cams will only allow you to zoom on portrait display but not landscape, making the user experience very poor & frustrating. 9. Pan, Tilt, Zoom wireless camera is horrible! Connection worked 20% of the time. 10. PTZ camera repeatedly disconnected from wifi and lost the configuration settings. 11. Reolink PTZ camera is incompatible and will not integrate with Reolink NVR!! (Some other cameras won’t either) 12. Storage space is sufficient only for 3 days worth of recording. 13. The NVR and the Reolink phone app do not synchronize so cameras added to NVR have to be MANUALLY and managed separately on the phone app. 14. The phone app is clunky and non intuitive. Difficult to access the cameras directly, must navigate through the NVR to channels and then to cameras for SOME features. 15. The entire system is unstable and responds in delayed “spurts”. 16. Two way speaker quality is very poor coming from the camera to the location. Communication is muffled and low. 17. Many configuration settings for the camera are not clear and no information is provided, so difficult to optimize camera configurations. (stitching, frame rate mode, anti-flicker,, etc) 18. Cameras will not natively switch to landscape mode when user turns phone sideways to enlarge view. User has to navigate to NVR, channels, pick the channel of the desired camera, go to display settings and then enlarge in landscape. However, once in landscape mode, user CANNOT zoom!! Terrible 19. Cameras will constantly lose settings (including name) that are configured in mobile app, so they need to be duplicated in NVR. However setting up in NVR does not automatically sync or port over to mobile app. Horrible and tedious experience. 20. While the resolution is better than 1080, there really isn’t much difference between 2 MP on the wifi doorbell all the way to 16 MP on the Duo 3 PoE double lens cameras. 10/23/2024 UPDATE: I wish I could give this product negative stars. After several attempts to engage with the support team to help me with the myriad of issues experienced, I have still not been able to reach ANYONE live. I just get a periodic email saying “let us know if you need anything or if we can close your case”. Following is the latest email I sent just today: This feels like a cruel joke at this point. The Reolink NVR has now started a new behavior that I’ll just consider a feature. Each night, 3 of the 7 cameras simply stop broadcasting. They just say “failed to connect”. It takes several attempts of rebooting the NVR and the cameras, each separately, for them to reconnect. This is beyond frustrating and for your support team to do nothing but send periodic emails saying “do you need any help?” Is beyond aggravating. I’ve shared the issues, I’ve described them, I’ve gone into ample detail and all that is accomplished is a response of “let us know if you have any other questions or need anything else”. How is this your support model??! You sell pricey products that do not work long, if at all, and then you ignore the issues that are reported to your technical support. This is the worst experience with a security system company that I’ve ever heard of..

This is a great camera. First of all you don’t need a subscription like other brands because you’re recording locally and not the cloud. The camera works perfectly for I needed it for and that’s for 24/7 security, the motion detection is really good and can detect pretty far, and the sensitivity can be adjusted on the nvr or app. Setup was simple if you do it on the NVR. The brightness of the light is brighter than I expected.

I bought two of these Duo 3 cameras along with other Reolink cameras and I have been very impressed. My goal was to get away from an aging cloud-based camera monitoring system, to control my own secure system and to end the monthly subscription fees. After a lot of research, I decided to switch to Reolink. One of the main reasons was I really liked the dual camera 180 degree view these Duo 3 cameras provide. Plus, they were compact enough to tuck into the corner roof eaves of my house and they are barely visible. The video quality is excellent, and color night vision is much better than expected. The cameras are very well-built. The web client and IOS apps are easy to use and provide everything I need. Setup was incredibly easy: Windows 11 PC, Reolink POE switch, Reolink Cameras, Reolink web & IOS apps. Everything works great and I am very happy!

Love theses cameras, thank you

I was a bit concerned at first when an internet connection and my phone were required for initialization. This camera comes locked down at first, you need to go to server settings and enable http for config and updates via browser and enable rtsp/onvif for use with a 3rd party security app like Blue Iris 6. Image stitching looks great. Night vision is okay but my application is in a dark rural environment with no artificial light that is normally found in cities. I don't let my security cameras access the internet. They are on a seperate network so I'm glad these cameras function in my network environment.

I purchased three of these REOLINK Duo 3 cameras. For my use case, they have proven to be perfect. They are clear and vibrant during the day and at night the image satisfies my expectations. I did have an issue with one of the cameras when the IR light failed - though it only reduced visibility marginally as IR from other cameras had overlap. I am thoroughly impressed with Reolink's customer service and warranty procedure. The online customer service agent was thorough and genuinely wanted to help. Shout out to Frank (Australia) who was proactive in ensuring my claim was processed quickly. Reolink dispatched a replacement the same day I posted the faulty unit back to them. I found it to be a very positive returns experience. In total I have seven Reolink cameras with a need to add another four cameras. I won't hesitate to order from Reolink again. I hope others find my review helpful.

Good view. Good quality (video and 2-way audio). Does what it is supposed to do with a user-friendly app for both, PC, Mac, Android and IOS. Note IOS and Android need to be newer (5years) because Reolink's updated app will not work for older versions. APP is versatile with adjustable detection zones (alarms if objects move into the zone) and 24/7 recording of tis entire field of view. APP also allows one to filter recordings for viewing based on the detected object type (you can adjust the object sizes - vehicle, pet, person) and turn on motion sensor IR and spot lights. I will continue to buy this brand of product.
