REOLINK Duo 3V PoE, 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic, Motion Track, Color Night Vision, Smart Detection, 2 Way Talk, IK10 Vandal-Proof, IP67 Weatherproof, No PT Supported

This camera works really well. It does take some fiddling to get it to work with a non-Reolink system, however. It does not have a web-based configuration interface like most cameras. You have to install the Reolink app to configure this camera in this case. That's a little annoying, but once you install the app, configuring the camera is pretty straightforward. If you have a Reolink system, then setting this camera up is probably pretty easy. I'm using this camera with an AgentDVR/Ispy system, and it works well.Reolink has versions of its app for Windows, MacOS, Android, and IOS (no Linux). If you're planning to use this camera with a Non-Reolink system, then you MUST install the app and configure the camera to get it to work. For a non-Reolink system, In the app, go to: Network-Server Settings, and enable rtsp and onvif. These protocols are not enabled by default. Non-Reolink DVR's use these protocols. If you want sound, then go to: Device-Sounds and enable audio. This setting is also off by default.One reviewer stated that the resolution is much worse than advertised. I have not seen this. The resolution is very good imo. Note that this camera has two video streams. It has a high-res stream and a low-res stream. Maybe he was connected to the low res stream by mistake? I know I've done that before. You can also configure the resolution of the two streams in the app. Maybe the resolution of the high-res stream was not configured to its highest. I don't now, but it works fine for me.Another reviewer complained that the two images aren't stitched together very well (this camera actually has two cameras, and the two images are stitched together in software). There is a slight discontinuity where the two camera images merge, but the alignment of the two camera images can be adjusted in the app. Go to: Device-Display-Advanced-Image Stitching. With a little fiddling, you can get the two images stitched together pretty seamlessly. Note that this will never be perfect, because the convergence of the two camera views depends somewhat on the distance of the object from the camera. You can get it pretty close, though.Another nice feature of this camera is that there doesn't seem to be any problem with reflections from the infrared lights onto the inside of the dome lens. With other cameras I have, this is a big problem, but I don't notice this problem at all with this camera. Night vision is good, and the built-in IR LED's do a pretty good job of illuminating things. Of course, their distance is limited (this is true for every camera I've ever worked with). Adding a separate IR flood light can make a big difference if you want to see your whole yard, for instance.Also, if you don't want the white flood-light LED's to come on at night, you need to disable those in the app. Go to: Device-Light-Spotlight.

This is a quality camera. Easy to mount, easy to setup. I set mine to continously record, and write to the 256 gig sd card I inserted. It gives about four days of recorded videos. The software is easy to use and let's you zoom in on a part of the recording, and select a different video without loosing zoom position. Thats really helpful when trying to identify when something changed in that part of the video.If you want to power over ethernet, which is how I have mine, you will have to buy a separate power adapter for that.One thing to note, it's only software zoom so if I want to see a license plate across the street it's not so good for that. It's more of a "cover the whole front of the building" type of camera.

Great picture and easy setup with a couple of considerations to add:1) Works with mobile apps DMSS, NMSS, and Reolink but the latter performs better with higher quality picture.2) SD card needed to record locally.3) Mount position/view should not be too close to a gutter, wall, or tree to avoid reflection problems.4) Works with other vendor DVRs (but not recommended) using ONVIF. Reolink is not shy of requiring their products to connect without errors.5) Test initial setup with a cable connected to POE port before installing. One of four returned due to poor connection problem using the same cable/network. Otherwise, you may have the extra hassle of swapping cables, ports, and other network troubleshooting once installed.Reolink is like the Apple environment for security cameras - easy to setup.

Ok, so where to start on this Reolink Duo 3V camera... It's 180 degree of viewable, which is part of the much good. It's a solid camera, it's not cheap or weak case/shell. The Camera can obviously take some hits and keep on going which supports it's IK10 Vandal-proof rating.Unlike other cameras, you have to take the camera fully apart to secure it to the overhang. This is the bad part. While other cameras give you a base what allows you to slide/rotate the camera onto, it's very easy to secure a base to the overhang. In this camera, you will REALLY need to the template that's included, use that to drill your holes into the overhang, and hopefully, have your cable lined up as well. This really made mounting the camera a real pain in the rear end, and is why it's not a five star rating. Once you do have the main part mounted, you get to screw the cover back on with the included star type L shape wrench. Also, since you have no PTZ, you have to really crank hard on the Philips head screw to setup the alignment of the cameras up/down.The ugly comes in the form of getting this system setup. After loading the software onto my laptop, you could get the camera accessible, setup IP address and other goodies. In my case, I needed ONVIF along with a username/password combo. At first Synology would talk to ONVIF, but the camera just shut it self down. I then found that Synology actually has a REOLINK DUO 3V selection, and we went from ugly to a better setup. Had we not of had Synology's reolink setup, I have a feeling this would have been a mess to get working. Good thing I did check the Synology website first, and DUO 3V was listed.Finally, some more good. Once I did get it all working, you do get a very nice 180 degree view. It's not bad looking and where the two cameras "meet" is not bad [nor does it stick out in the middle of the picture]. So far, I'm happy with my purchase. The Synology has no issues with the camera and remote viewing works perfectly.

Great camera I will recommend

Very happy with this camera. The splice is slightly noticeable at night depending on lighting but the coverage and resolution is very good. I also like that it appears like a normal dome camera.
