REOLINKE1 Pro(Black) 3K PT Wi-Fi Indoor Camera for Baby & Pet Monitoring, Auto Tracking, 5MP Night Vision Enhanced by F1.6 Aperture, Person/Pet/Baby Crying Detection, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, Two-Way Audio

First unit I received had some issues, which was surprising after such a great experience with my previous purchase of an E1 Outdoor, but these things happen occasionally. Reolink sent out a replacement unit the same day I submitted my return request and I received my new unit the next day. No issues with this unit in the same location so I guess the first one was actually faulty. Got to love a vendor that stands behind their products 100%!The other thing I love about Reolink is their openness and dedication to open source protocols and projects. You have lots of choices for how you consume your camera and you're not tied to someone's app or cloud. Home Assistant integration is amazing and is actively developed. But even if you didn't want to use their integration, you could get your cam into Home Assistant via other methods like Onvif or RTSP. With Reolink, you have options.Like my E1 Outdoor, the camera provides a great image and good streaming as well as local recording with plenty of options for alerts and notifications. AI detection is outstanding for a locally processed detection. If I had to dig for any cons, the only one would be the lack of a patrol mode. I realize it puts strain on the PTZ motor, but it's really useful for two locations I have that I would replace the existing cam with a new Reolink.Very happy with my second purchase (and my quick support resolution) and will be purchasing again.

camera shows very clear image, can see details of objects and people can be clearly identified. Works smoothly. THe rotating head is quiet, and the blue light can even be turned off if it needs to be less visible. The set up was easy as long as the wifi is strong enough. The option to just use a memory card instead of paying monthly is a nice feature as well.

I bought these is bc my TP Link cameras won't work with 5G, and these work with both 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.I'm including 3 components in my overall rating: a) ease of setup & video/picture quality (4 stars), b) CS (5 stars+), c) app UI (2). Therefore, my overall rating is 4 stars.My main issue is there's no true privacy mode built into the app. Their "privacy mask" isn't easy to find either. You first have to click on 'display' in order to see the option (why put it there instead of its own one-click link on the menu?). What's more, the 'mask' is a big pain to use. Every single time u want to use this feature, u have to draw a box(es) to essentially block out the screen, and once u exit mask mode, it won't save the settings or preferences. It's time consuming, and hard to determine if the camera is still recording audio and other parts of the view not blocked by the mask.Reolink does appear to have other models that have a true privacy mode setting, but this set I got from Amazon (version: IPC_566SD54MP), isn't currently supported. Their literature does claim they're "evaluating" my model # (and a few others) to potentially add it with a future app update.Video quality is good and sensitivity settings have a wide range. There are a few other features that allow u to customize your experience, like min/max size of people, animals u don't want detected, ability to set it to record certain time periods, etc.Overall, however, I'm not a fan of the app layout bc I don't think it's as user friendly as it could be. For instance, u can't delete recordings directly from the app, u have to wipe them from the memory card, which takes more time and effort bc it requires removing it from the camera and using other equipment to erase the files. If there's a way to program the app to delete recordings from a memory card, I haven't figured it out yet.Originally, I planned on returning these. However, after figuring out a way around the privacy "mask," and bc of Reolink's phenomenal CS team, I'm going to keep them. Sadly, there are very few options out there for cameras w/o monthly fees/subscription that also work with 5G. I believe these Reolink E1 Pro cameras are the best choice between the other limited options currently on the market.Unlike other unscrupulous companies out there, Reolink makes *all* features of the camera available in the app, with no additional monthly/subscription, fees. Beware of the many other security camera companies, however, that advertise "no monthly subscription" where, in the fine print/description details, you learn they restrict access to certain functions/features without paying (monthly) to access them, basically rendering the cameras useless. Reolink won't do that to you, and that's one of the several reasons I'm now a customer for life.They've taken my feedback regarding the app seriously and I hope someday to see the evidence of that in future app updates/releases.Bottom line: I would get this model camera again. Even though I did hours of research on indoor security cameras, I didn't research Reolink enough to learn I might've been able to purchase a different model with more features, which would change the app UI, at least slightly. Now that I've learned a workaround to the privacy mask setting, I get the equivalent of privacy mode, it just takes several more steps than should be necessary (not convenient, but it works and is easy to do). One of my suggestions was to create a one-click (2 clicks realistically) option to select privacy mode, then click to turn it on/off (which doesn't exist for the E1 Pro model I purchased through Amazon here).Get these cameras, you won't be sorry, and Reolink CS will be right beside u for support and troubleshooting.

I purchased this camera for our RV to keep an eye on our fur baby. It has motion so I can follow or find her and also it has a speaker so I can call her if she is out of range. Very affordable and picture quality is very good. I can manually move it to see the thermostat to make sure she is in a climate controlled area too. Definitely gives me piece of mind when Im not there!!

I had to buy a newer model to replace an older one because of issues with router loss . I felt it was easier than trying to update the firmware
