#REOLINK SECURITY CAMERA FULL#
You get the live feed in low resolution, but you can increase this to the camera’s full resolution. When you fire it up, you can see a thumbnail view of your camera that you can tap to view the live feed. The Reolink app is rather simple but gets the basics right. Once hooked up to your internet, the camera can be added quickly to the Reolink app. Quite what Reolink was thinking when it came up with this design is beyond me: tape this up so that it can’t be used! I should also mention that the third cable hanging down from the camera is the reset button, which you can press and hold to put the Reolink RLC-810A back to factory settings. I recommend using PoE, just because it reduces the number of cables that you have. Neither the power supply nor PoE injector is provided, so you’ll need to buy one power option.

There’s no Wi-Fi on this model, so you need to run an Ethernet cable to the camera, using the waterproofing kit to make the connection safe.

Three screws do the job, then there’s a ball mount to point the camera where you want it. This camera comes attached to a screw-in mount that you need to put up outside. It’s a little boxy looking and certainly looks like a security camera, but it’s far from ugly and at least will grab attention to put off would-be thieves. While most cheap home security cameras are made of plastic, the Reolink RLC-810A has a metal housing that gives it a reassuring heft, making this model feel far more expensive than it is.
