Reolink should pay you, I'm buying a system cause of this video
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
FINALLY!! A REAL NO BULLSHIT VIDEO. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. THANK YOU FOR HAVING COMMON SENSE. I LOVE IT
I have this same setup and like the ease of the install. Their software needs a little work to make it great. You CAN'T search for motion alerts or fast forward with their current recorder software release. So if someone broke into your car overnight you would have to search minute by minute to try and find the footage. They have said they are working on adding this feature, but have not seen it yet. Motion alerts to email do work, but every bug or insect will set it off, even if you adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection. So for outdoors, it is not good, but for indoors I'm sure it would work great.
Finally someone with some good knowledge. Job well done! I use Reolink and Zmodo for my business...
Thanks for your comment!
This video shows everything I need to install these cameras. Thank you so much for making this video. I'll let you know when I finish the installation of my 6 Reolink cameras. Blessings.
Watched your video and went out to get the Harbor Freight wire running kit. Just finished pulling 4 Cat6 wires in the attic.
WOW! April 2020, means close to two years later, but still very good, informative video! Nicely done!
Thank you for this my friend. I was dreading this entire process before, but I feel MUCH better about it now.
Great detailed video. I’ve been researching affordable camera systems and was considering Reolink and now definitely going with it after viewing this video
I’m hip just got a reolink already have ez watch gona switch my whole system to this system with a few wireless cameras to backup my back up your video closed the deal ty
Top draw video. The most comprehensive well explained video on CCTV systems. As has been mentioned previously you should get some remuneration from the company, as you make it look super easy to install. Thank you my friend.👍
You could have affixed the cameras to the bottom of the soffet. Would result in no cables exposed to the outside of the house.
Great detailed video! Need more UA-camrs likes Dial2Fast! Keep up the good work
I agree with the comment just below, your video is the best I've seen yet, your full details is excellent, and also you have a beautiful house.👍👍👍👍
Great vid! Just bought the 16 channel version with 8 cameras. Gonna buy one more 410 and the poe ptz camera! Thanks!
Thanks so much for the VDO, I'm just about to buy my first CCTV and I'm lucky to have seen your channel before buying them..
I will get the one with 5MP camera.
Tons of videos and everyone is running from the physical network setup and software configuration.
Great install. So you added a second router/modem to the closet, and also have router/modem from the cable company, which is probably downstairs in an office?
Well explained. I bought one and will be here in a couple of days and your video will definitely help to do it correctly. A question that came to mind is that can you connect 2 Ethernet cables to get to length I need. Great video and thank you 🙏
They do make RJ45 coupler to connect two cables together and most likely will work, but it's not recommended for high bandwidth data usage.
@@dial2fast Will these cameras still record with no wifi ?
You do not need to actually run your cat 5 cable all the way to dvr. You just need to run it to wireless router. As long as it's on the same network, dvr will detect it and even record it.
Michael Lawn will this also work if i have an ip cam connected over wifi to the same network ?
Is there anyway to setup as an instant replay? Such as replay the last 30 seconds using a hot key
Is there a way to schedule taking a photo say every 30 minutes? I'd like to do a timelapse. Thanks
Outstanding video. This is the best one I have seen. I liked how you made a close up video of the actual camera mount, swivel adjustments, and mounting to your house. I also liked how you ran the cat5 outside to your garage. Most videos just describe it but you showed close up and that was great. The demonstration on your monitor was super informative. Again, most channels just talk about that option but you actually demonstrated it!! Thanks for a super video.
Are you using any type of firewall that the NVR is connected to?
Really neat setup you have. Thanks for posting !
Thanks for your comment!
Hello,
Thanks for the video. One question: could you used HDMI cable to motinor, laptop, or TV to watch live stream?
Kind regards
Also, does it have good visibility at night?
@@e7ty954 Yes you can connect the HDMI output on the NVR to a monitor with HDMI input. As you saw in the video, it has night vision for night time recording.
How secure is this system over the internet, seems there’s been problems with security hacks related to these cameras.
Thanks! It seems Reolink cameras don't have color night vision. I have seen Lorex system and it did have color at night time.
They do. I saw a review show this,check lifehacker here.
Do I have to connect it to my router? I thought you can just plug in the DC to AC power?
13:03 holy crap, on my street there'd be 500 events per day just for cars going by. I guess one would need to aim the camera so that the street was not visible in the frame. I wonder if you can set it to record only events and then I worry is it going to be accurate? Thanks for the vid even though this is way more involved than the vid lets on, imo.
You can setup a certain area on the camera itself using the software of what you want it to capture for motion so you don't have to point it away from the street.
@@NefariousJames That would be great. You could probably block off the street and sidewalk so only if someone actually walked INTO your yard, then it would start recording as an event. I really hope this system works because I just bought one!
hi great video.... i was wondering if anybody knows how far/long can i add to the Maximum length to the cat 5 cable?? i want to use one of these cameras about 140 ft from the black box... Is there a specific type of cat 5 cable to use, or are they all the same? thank you for responding.
I read that cat5 is 330ft and cat6 is like 270ft
Maximum lenght for a Cat5 cable is 300ft
hello,
thanks for the video,
I have 2 questions, at minute 12:25 you show the event 'motion'
do you have an alarm/notification on your phone in this case?
do it is possible select only a part of screen for mouvement detection? for exemple is it possible to haven't an event for a car in the street (13:00) and have an alert only if car is in your propriety ? (without change frame or angle of camera).
thanks in advance
Very helpful video. Thank you very much!
Greetings dial2fast; quick question, in your experience with this system and the pre-installed 2TB drive; how many days are you seeing in the system? I understand the NVR overwrites the older data; I was just curious how many days look-back is available at any given time... Thank you, and as many other viewers have commented--excellent video.
With 4 cameras, you get about 5-6 days of recording.
will this NVR allow me to download footage as it's being recorded? as oppose to having a SD card in the camera that could be smashed by burglar, which could mean lost footage..
Super interesting and helpful, thank you!
Exceptional video. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the great video!
How to you out on the weatherproof bit please
will less expensive Poe cameras from other brands work with the reolink nvr
Any Idea as to the recording time with one camera and a 4TB external drive?
I read this review on Amazon, are you having the same issues?
I have one of the fastest android pgones right now (Note 8) and the cameras are not clear at all, and if u put them clear, they lag horribly. The same goes for computer, i have a i7 6700k proccessor running at 10% and it lags like crazy.
Thank you !
the i love the search for motion feature
👋 hello , is there a (year 2020 ) model of this unit ?
We need your help for the installation $$$ if you’re living in Lawrenceville Georgia 😅
Someone is flying me to Florida this weekend to do a major install. 6000 square foot house. Those trips into the attic are never fun, especially in a house that big but someone has to do it!
The other cables that come out of the camera (the two you dont need) are they always hanging outside, or can you put them in de back of the mounting?
Those cables don't coil up behind the base mount. However if you are mounting this on a junction box or on a surface where you can push those wires into the wall, then you can hide it that way. I did that with the indoor mounted camera and all the wires are pushed into the wall behind the drywall so you only see the camera itself.
@@dial2fast thanks for the quick answer. I think that i will drill a hole in the brickwall big enough so i can put the network cable first in to the house, en than the other cables.. I live in the Netherlands en our houses have 9.9 inch concrete wall and than comes a 4.5 inch brickwall haha..
@@remymenger8937 Ah yes, in Europe and Asia, many homes are built with bricks and concrete. The junction box idea I mentioned is something like the link below. Not sure if you can get it in Netherlands. You mount the box on the wall, and then mount the camera on the box. It still gives a clean look to it (no wires hanging out). amzn.to/304krzc
@@dial2fast that's exactly what i meant! Thank you for being so helpfull! If i don' t get it in Europe, i can always order these in the US! Again thanks!
Are you using the router to connect to the internet? Instead of connecting a hard line to your internet modem?
Yes I have a wifi router which connects to my modem, and the NVR connect to the router for internet access.
Excellent video sir, it's been over a year since you've installed the system, any issues to report on?
No issues, still running 24/7 and you kinda forget you have it until you need to look up some video footage. Great for checking live video and seeing if I closed the garage at night or when I go out.
@@dial2fast Not sure if you have answered this previously but how long can you record 24/7 before you have to start clearing the history on your hard drive? Also how big is your hard drive?
@@NefariousJames With 4 cameras recording 24/7, I get about 7 days of recording. With 6 cameras connected, I get about 5 days recording. The hard drive is the 2TB one that came with the unit.
Excellent video
U have a nice house
Thank you for the great video.
Can you please tell me how many days you can nonstop record all 4 cameras with the 2TB HDD.
Thank you.
Approx 5 days
Try that on a brick or concrete House instead of one made from paper and sticks.
Do it or can you select detection zone with this unit?
hello, have you an answer?
great but you skipped network
There was nothing to configure in the network. Just plug into your router for internet connection.
Can you use cat6 wire
Yes
Is the NV admin/password the same as reolink account password?
Can you set up a cycle to record and erase all videos
My issue is I have an all in one computer at home. Would I be able to use that to view the footage? I don't have a separate monitor
great tutorial. Only problem I'm having is setting up the phone app. I cant get my phone to scan. it keeps saying FAILED try again.
Its is onvif conpatable
mob psycho 100 season 2 op
mmmm no
I've watched a lot of videos about the Reolink system, but yours is the best!
Thanks for your comment!
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The best video on reolink I have found yet. Thanks!
Exactly - if it's important, it's in here, from beginning to the end.
why couldn't reolink do a video like this !
I wish they didn't come with the poe/power/reset switch attached to the camera... You have to drill a hole that much bigger to hide the cables...
Not if you put the network connector in first and then slide the others in when just the cable is in the hole.
@@donaldalderman3101 Actually I think Reolink should set them all up for POE type at the camera, so you can run just the a network cable to the cam ... then at the end where you connect it to the NVR, etc. have a adapter that you can plug in the ethernet cable into and then plug the adapter's ethernet plug into the NVR and another cable off the adapter you plug in a power brick (something like this at the NVR side: www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/adafruit-industries-llc/3785/1528-2616-ND/9380220?Power%20over%20Ethernet%20(PoE)&Shopping_Power%20Supplies%20-%20External%2FInternal%20%28Off-Board%29_NEW&Power%20over%20Ethernet%20(PoE)&gclid=Cj0KCQjw09HzBRDrARIsAG60GP8K78GMbtFQit9RiSchtnlExIh3s1GbqeS93GjOnrXsIb8v1sE82GoaAqOIEALw_wcB).
This will serve many issues. 1.) you don't have to have a plug installed near the cam in the attic as you'll be just running the one line ... instead you supply the power at the NVR (etc.) side where you're most likely will have a plug already. 2.) if the power brick fails, it's easier to maintain and 3.) a smaller hole is needed to run the cable through.
A very concise video... Like so many others, I appreciate that you cut past the BS and get to the facts and present the installation and software use in a top-to-bottom manner. Thank you.
If I were the owner of Reolink I would ask to buy your video. Fantastic work, editing in the right places, it kept me engaged the whole time. Just and FYI from a guy that has lived in tough parts of his city you should change your reboot time. That's prime time for thieves.
same thought
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! I have set my system to 12hr format. When I go to search playback, I have to search in 24hr format. Do you know why this hasn't changed?
Just bought this system. So far I really like it but I am having an issue with the NVR. When I view footage from all 4 camera's the times don't seem to line up. For example if someone pulls out of the driveway it should go in order of the camera's but you see them leave on the last camera before they even get in the car on the first camera. Can you please help??
FANTASTIC VIDEO!
Answered so many questions!
Thank you!!
Hello. this is sammie from Anpviz Security. We have a PTZ camera which
is made by hikvision. I need you to review for us. is that okay? how to
contact you?
Yo this video was legit! Thank you so much. I have a few questions:
Can you setup the NVR to only record motion events? 24/7 recording seems a lot
Did you feel like you needed more cameras after setting up the 4?
How did you decide which areas needed cameras - inside and outside?
Were you satisfied with 4 cameras or do you recommend more?
bro i have some question
1 is there a camera that doesn't require a internet
2 if its there how can it send you text if you are out of the country
3 and if you dont use your data when your out of the country can you still receive that text if you camera and your phone are not connected to the internet connection
I dont see any option to change motion detection option. None exist ?
I got the RLN8-410 and just set up my cameras plus my Reolink video doorbell. How do I stop or silence the constant beeping from the NVR? It's driving us crazy!
Great video! My Reolink System has been acting up. 2 of 6 B800 4k Cams no longer shows up in my NVR. The 2 CAMS appear to have power because i see the IR lights. I tried my best to trouble-shoot but no such luck. Cam reset, different POE ports on the NVR, and different ports on my AMCREST Poe switch. I called Reolink support 2 separate times and each time they are asking for money. 1st request was for $149.99 then $69.99 for 6 months. I have to say the email support is somewhat better but.....
Great video, very informative, just bought this system from amazon, I was a little intimidated installing it myself until I saw this video, Thankyou sir!
Thank you for such a straight forward video!! VERY THROUGH! AWESOME!!
Nice setup. I was tempted with this. But, went with the Google Nest Wifi. However, I do prefer LAN connects, even more so with the PoE connection.
QUESTION??? Does anybody know if the VGA and the HDMI output works off of both ports at the same time - or is it one or the other but not both?
Great video. Anyone know if they updated their system in 2021 to not not have to use java anymore? Its no longer supported.
Great video. My mouse does not work on the back USB port but does work on the front USB port. Must be a defect on my device.
Hola ya tengo instalada mis cámaras como puede cambiar el internet que estoy usando ósea como programar el sistema para usar uno nuevo
Can you replace the hard drive with a different internal see the hard drive as I do not like Seagate hard drives and was wondering about putting a western digital hard drive in it thanks for any help
Nice video!
However, if you plan on buying this NVR without and not the kit with the cameras you are in trouble.
I got the NVR connected to my network with one cable and try to connect my RLC-423 and RLC-423WS
to it and it is a nightmare.
The NVR browser plugin only works in Internet Explorer and does not work in FireFox or Chrome.
Once you log in, you have a different user interface than what you have when you hook up a TV (or monitor) to it.
I have played for hours with it, but still have not been able to record anything to the NVR.
Everything else is working (recording to card...). If you plan on using it with Weather Underground, stay away from it.
There is no way to send small sized images via FTP or URL, so the images are denied from uploading.
I talked to support for days now, and although they are super responsive to an email, they have no idea
what they are talking about. (I think it is a language problem).
I just thought that everybody needs to know that!
Both Chrome and FireFox will show you any camera connected to your LAN. Just enter it's IP address and it will put the built-in app on screen. Enter username and password and there it is.
Customer support is 13 hours away in Hong Kong that's why they no understand.
Hello, can we connect the NVR Box to the internet Box via WIFI or you have only the choice to connect it via LAN ???
You have to connect using Ethernet cable
@@dial2fast thx
YOU DIDN'T GO OVER HOW TO SET UP THE NVR! THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON I CLICKED ON YOUR VIDEO! THANKS FOR NOTHING!!
what is the other power lead for that comes from the camera , can this nvr be viewed without internet
i may have missed it but it has a mic and adjustable on all devices cap. correct?
Use dielectric grease on the plug or electrical connections outside. Any cables outside should be rated for outdoor exposure
Home Depot sells wet location UL listed for use Cat-5. Or did, been a while. But should use that type if below grade even in pipe = wet location.
I'm not sure I'd want to ad any sort of deox to the RJ45 terminals.
If it's exposed to sun, UV rate insulation is another story. It's low-V, so not a significant hazard.
@@billytheweasel The dielectric grease keeps the copper from corroding and bad connections. Also repels moisture
@@mrmotofy How does the dielectric grease get inside the RJ45/RJ46? If I were crimping my own connecters I might consider listed deox I suppose. I think it comes with a boot but probably not sealed, so good idea.
@@billytheweasel I just smear it on the contacts of the male plug then squish it in the other open end of plug to help seal it. When you plug male in it will cover the jack contacts. But yes I'm pretty sure Nolox or any of those contact greases will work. I've personally seen the protection from Dielectric and used it for 20+ years. No personal experience with the others so I can't verify.
Does REOLINK offer a monitoring service also?
how does fast forward work when using playback? Like if I need to look at a lot of footage quickly. Can you explore that more?
Don't expect to fwd/rev the video very quickly like you are watching a DVD. The video needs to be retrieved from the many hours of recording on the hard drive. You typically can search the video with motion detection markings on the video, and an approximate timeline of when the event happened. Then narrow it down to the specific point in time. In my experience, the video WILL be recorded, but can take some time to find the specific event that might be only 10-20 seconds of what you are looking for.
Thank you. Detail breakdown.
Would you still recommend this setup in 2020? Newer version? I’m ready to do an install.
A I Thanks. Since posting my comment I have purchased the 4K system for my new house. Hopefully I can install it without too much difficulty.
This is the second video and it is great.
Thank you for posting your video.
Very straight forward.
Thanks for your comment!
Do I need internet or wifi to run this? I know it mentions a router but does the router actually need internet running through it?
You only need to connect the NVR to the router if you want remote access on your mobile device (outside your home).
I have my recorder connected to my WiFi using an IOGEAR Universal Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter for Home or Office, GWU627 from Amazon. Works great.
I have one came yesterday
4:42 uh... router? so you have to have a wireless router to use this system?
If you have internet in your home, you have either a modem which is only 1 available Ethernet port, or a router/modem combination which usually has at least 4 Ethernet ports. That's why he said router. It doesn't have to be a wireless router, it could be a switch too.
@@NefariousJames OH... okay, so I have the modem that is 4 Ethernet ports on back AND wireless so I could literally plug the box into one of the Ethernet ports on my modem and the system could then access the Internet and do whatever I need done over that. Not sure what all it needs to access the Internet for. Does it need that for the smart phone notifications and stuff? thanks for the info!!! This really helps me visualize where I'm going to need to put this and how it's going to really work. I know, I have the quick start guide and I can read the menus inside the software like anyone else. I just haven't gotten the nerve to plug it in and just test it PRIOR to running all that dreaded cable into my attic. I don't think I can do that. I may have to pay someone to run the cable for me.
