I am very happy with this system and look into things to the nth degree before I buy them. I expect it to be easy and operate without issues when purchasing something in this range and this system has delivered all I was looking for and more. In short, there is nothing i dont like about this setup and it has worked flawlessly. Pros: 1. very clear, crisp images, great zoom, great night vision 2. easy setup with home network, viewable whether your phone is on your home network or out of the house 3. intuitive interface whether logging into the NVR directly, the phone app or the computer app 4. comes with everything you need including very nice weatherproof connections for the cameras. 5. All storage onsite - no cloud fees and no issues recording and saving data if internet goes out 6. Very easy to record clips and save to phone or computer. 7. Easily expandable for more cameras or larger/additional hard drive 8. Power over Ethernet makes for a simple install Observations (not really cons, but not pros): 1. With 8 cameras recording, the hard drive fills up within 2-3 weeks depending on settings. If you would like a longer period backup, it is easily upgradeable by adding an additional hard drive. 2. Make sure you attach all cameras to the NVR and set it up prior to mounting them, much easier not running from camera to camera if theres an issue. 3. Adding a camera and advanced diagnostics seem to be only available when logging directly into the NVR and not over the apps. I have the NVR Located in a place that is difficult to get to, so i had to run an hdmi cable through the attic to a tv in another room and use a wireless mouse that has a good range on it to access the NVR directly. Its annoying, but the rest of the system functionality and quality makes it very much worth it. 4. Tech support is purely through email. I had an issue with connectivity and the cameras dropping out initially. (make sure you update the firmware when you install it, I didnt at first and that was the problem) The tech support responded within an hour with the exact solution to my poorly described problem. They were great. Cons: 1. Motion detection is based on movement for these specific cameras. You really have to fine tune the sensitivity and area of detection for each camera to get a result that does not send a motion alert every few minutes. Reolink has smart cameras that can identify cars and people that work great at avoiding false alarms due to the wind blowing a branch across the cameras view, so when adding cameras look into them as well. If you have read this far, I hope this has been helpful. I would definitely recommend this and after a year I am very happy with the purchase.

I purchased the Reolink 4k, 16 channel system. Definitely not 4k resolution. Overall, good picture, Easy setup.would have been worth the price if I got 4k resolution because that’s what I paid for.

I really love this system. I use it for security for my garage . The features are really easy to use. The app is very user friendly, I can see everything right from my phone, tablet or pc. I would recommend and I intend to buy another in the future for my home

I was nervous ordering this set from Amazon without being able to see and feel the product. As soon as I opened the box all the anxiety went away. Nice heavy metal brackets, solid housings and the clarity even at night is amazing

Great customer support. They immediately sent out a new NVR when I had an issue. The setup is very easy and the quality is great.

These are incredibly easy to use camera systems. Everything is basically plug and play. Upgrading the hard drives for larger storage is a breeze as well. Ive bought several of these units and will be purchasing another one this week!

I returned the item unused, following their instructions and my credit fell into a black hole. Reolink claims no responsibility for the return although I sent it to their location of choice. I’m getting ripped off $956.00. I sent POD and all!

Firstly, let me say the cameras included with this set are excellent. Their image quality is outstanding. Very happy with the cameras. I had assumed this would work with any ONVIF camera. As stated in the production description, it only works with ReoLink cameras. If you didnt notice this in the product description, you probably wont notice this comment either. When watching live video on the console versus playing it back on a client, the framerate is somewhat lower on the client (even in clear mode). Framerate is fine in Fluent mode, but that is very low resolution. Its not a huge difference, and most people will probably never notice. I even went as far as using an open source library called NeoLink to stream live video from the NVR to VLC, and the lower framerate problem is still there. Recorded clips are unaffected. The biggest surprise was the download speed. Even though I had it and my computer connected to the same Gigabit switch, downloads were at about 1Mbyte/second. That means if you have a 4k video stream at max rate, a 5 minute clip will take about 4 minutes to download. Even my 6 year old previous NVR achieved 10x this rate.

Easy camera setup, good picture quality and good customer service. I had a problem with one of my cameras and they quickly shipped me out a replacement. Plenty of room to add additional cameras. You will probably need to also purchase the junction boxes to mount your camera on depending on your mounting location. Everything can easily be setup right from your phone and can be shared for others to view if you invite them. The audio and night vision is good.

After years of use I dropped 1 star. Though they have great customer service I didnt think Id have to contact them so much. A few cameras (1 from this original order) didnt work but were replaced quickly. Most of the hardware and set up was easy to use. Their software however is really bad. very buggy on the computer and on the phone. Constantly crashes or glitches, loads playback really slowly. EVerything is local so the internet should not be an issue yet they claim its my 1 gigabit connection hooked up with CAT9 heavy duty cables. I already purchased 2 systems and several additional cameras for multiple properties and the ease of set up is excellent. But this weak software has just been so horrendous that I am here changing my review. In 3 years I hope to to upgrade and not downgrade the stars. Original subject and body of review Easy set up, plenty of wires and parts. Image quality is meh for 4K Comes with everything you need and some extra, easy set up and configuration, but the image quality is mehh for 4K HD. I think the regular version cameras are fine to use too.
