Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had my Reolink 2K Outdoor Battery Camera for a little over two weeks now, and I find it to be a excellent camera. I was hesitant about a battery powered camera, worried about recharging but it's doing really well and I can order a solar panel if necessary. The setup was easy. No drilling for wires. had it mounted and connected to my Wi-Fi in less than ten minutes. What's more, the battery life is surprisingly robust. Not having to purchase a subscription or rely on cloud account is nice. The 2K resolution is a step up from my old 1080p camera. Details on faces and license plates are much clearer. The night vision is also excellent; the color night vision (when the spotlight comes on) is effective. The person/vehicle detection is the good though. It's not perfect a neighborhood cat or a very close up bush sway still occasionally triggers it but it filters out probably 90% of the useless "wind blowing leaves" alerts I used to get. Getting a notification that says "Person Detected" instead of just "Motion" is so much more useful and cuts down on the anxiety of false alarms. I had to pick one thing its that the camera takes a second or two to wake up and start recording after a motion trigger. Sometimes the very beginning of an event is cut off. It’s a small trade off for the convenience of no wires.

It is an affordable competitor in the field of outdoor digital cameras. Its performance is on par with cameras costing more than four times as much. It performs better in bright light than darkness but has reasonably clear footage even in darkness although not with as fast a speed as in bright light. It can see color even in darkness. The battery has a long life and can be recharged with a small solar panel in 10 minutes for motion detection mode and one hour for prerecording mode. This makes unattended operation in remote locations possible. The flexibe user interface is easy to use and is the similar for all Reolink devices. An excellent camera for the money.

I love Reolink cameras and this one is my 12th. Because it is battery operated, I was able to place it on my privacy fence with no cords or cables. Time will tell if the batteries last as long as advertised but the quality of the video is excellent. Even in the dark without the IR lights, the picture is amazing. Reolink has upped their game from already being good. The setup was super easy. It connected to my wifi in seconds. The field of view is 110 degrees which is sufficient for where I have it. I think I will look for a next gen 180 degree or PTZ camera to replace some of my other cameras because I really like the quality on this on over the older Reolink cameras I have.

Great camera, easy to set up and easy to hook into phone.
