Glad you liked the review - and no - I made that mounting bracket. It has multiple holes for mounting different cameras. The Duo is mounted there now... ua-cam.com/video/KzUWUvgLmvI/v-deo.html
I have this camera and tracking is not quite right. It returns to different home points depending on travel direction - sort of makes the privacy black spot redundant without oversizing the area. (this was a feature I wanted but cant use) The pan motor is loud on the audio, more than what it is here on this review. Quite like the product despite this.
Hey, can these Reolink cameras work with the Reolink App on a mac or PC without using a NVR and use another source eg External HDD to record the video? I dont want to use the micro SD card on the camera. I'd rather use a external hdd
hi there quick question, can the lights for the night tracking be stopped ? track without lights at night, is this possible, have 2 street light in the area
I emailed Reolink yesterday about the availability and they said end of August and they also said they cancel the Auto-tracking feature. This is a bummer to me since I really liked that feature. maybe they will bring it back. I guess if you have one that can auto track I wouldn't upgrade the firmware. You might lose that feature.
@@overclockersclub I got a Reolink E1 Outdoor a few days ago. It did not have auto tracking. I used the client program to update the firmware and I now have auto tracking. Don't know what Reolink plans to do with auto tracking. Some testers were saying the auto tracking did not work well. Maybe Reolink is working on it to release a better firmware version in the future. My auto track works good horizontally, following someone walk across my sidewalk right/left, left right. But it cannot track vertically. The camera looses a person walking straight toward or away from the camera. Other than that I like this camera. Well worth the price. Reolink is releasing the 823A. I don't know if it has auto tracking horizontal and vertical like some other brands PTZs.
If you have the Reolink NVR and youre not able to attach the E1 Pro with the NVR, then it does still needs an SD-card to record the video and storage it on the card. But your're able to view it from the NVR. Correct?
@@overclockersclub I dont have reolink yet. Whats the benefits with viewing/having it on the NVR? I'm also planning buying this set from Reolink: RLK8-820D4-A to support the 4 corners of the house.
@@StephanTousgaard depending on how you have the camera set up for motion detection sensitivity, not all motion events will trigger a recording (to the SD card), but if the feed goes to the NVR, you will always be able to go back and review the video.
@@overclockersclub Are you able to use it with a wired network connection, or do you have to use the wifi? I want wired cameras with alarms, two way comms, and motorized controls but the only other options are significantly bigger and more expensive.
I've had an E1 Outdoor for about a month. I had to download an older firmware version to get auto tracking. It seems they took this feature out of the new firmware. Maybe to improve it. It works okay horizontally but sometimes will not go back to it's preset postition after it follows someone across my sidewalk. Also the night vision is not that good. Maybe they'll improve this with update. Otherwise the camera works fine and I like it.
@@CarRambles I got it from Reolink's download page, but it may no longer be available. Compare your firmware version to what's on Reolink, if it's different you could try it. I hope they fix the bugs and offer it again in future updates.
I have some news like others from Reolink. I'm having problems with this model only. It has an absurd delay and I'm not using wifi, it's connected directly to the intelbras nvd, I've tried to connect it to a switch and then nvd. As the day goes on, the delay will increase. After they come back without delay I can't figure out the problem. Anything going through this?
I've had the same problem with several Reolink cameras. I currently have two Reolink TrackMix cameras that have a problem with lagging. I have them both set to reboot every night to re-sync the time but by then they are each about 15 seconds behind the actual time.
Mine has been outside all summer and I have not had any issues. Even though it is made for outdoor use, the less water it is exposed to, the better of course. Mine can get wet but the roof overhangs a little bit so if you can mount it where it is protected, that certainly won’t hurt.
At end of video, you show mounted camera. Did that mounting plate come with it? Good review thanks.

How many days of full time recording can you get with the 256GB SD card with this thing?
90 hours

Great video, Thank you for posting. I have 3 on the way. Can you tell me if this camera is POE?
It is not PoE. It requires a dedicated power adapter. And of course you still need an Ethernet cable.
There are nice POE extractors with 12V output
Does anyone know if there are any PoE outdoor PTZ cameras out there that have this kind of form factor? All I’ve seen are huge.
Not being a poe sucks

I was not aware of that - I will have to follow up with them.

Is there any lag in live view or is it real time?
did they fix the motor buzzing on the camera yet?

Yes - it does connect to my Reolink NVR and yes, if you run it without connecting to the NVR, it will need an SD card to store video.

Does it have the ability to save to PC automatically use the PC app? I have a Lumus and if I leave a PC running it store all videos once set up

Where did you get the older firmware, i cant find this anywhere now.

@@CarRambles I got the old firmware version on Reolink download site but they may have taken it off.
Does this support onvif? I want to be able to connect it to Synology Surveillance Station.
Did you ever get this connected to Synology?
@@jamesvineyard8406 I Never ended up buying it. But if it does support onvif then I would imagine it would work just fine.
can this cam wok on reolink's cloud storage?
Did u have fogging issue i seen on some other videos and reviews of this product. Im considering upgrading from my fixed ones to these.
I did not have any fogging issues.

Any idea of an estimated release of this product ie 3months , 6 months ????
It is available on AliExpress
What about moisture or water getting into the camera?
Mine has been outside all summer and I have not had any issues. Even though it is made for outdoor use, the less water it is exposed to, the better of course. Mine can get wet but the roof overhangs a little bit so if you can mount it where it is protected, that certainly won’t hurt.
Not suitable for outdoor, it fogs on inside then auto focus fails. Getting Reolink to honor warranty is really difficult
The Reolink RLC-822A has the same problem.
I am not so impressed with Reolink, I have had two cheaper cameras go dead!
