REOLINK Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic View, Motion Track, F1.6 Color Night Vision, Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, 2 Way Talk, Supports 24/7 Recording

I have to say I'm impressed with this particular Reolink camera. That's not to say I haven't had some not so desirable experiences with past Reolink cameras, but this particular model has really changed my mind about what this company really can do. The smart motion detection for people, cars and animals just flat works well. Better than some of my other cameras that cost 3x the amount I paid for this camera. The interface for configuration and playback are very easy to use and understand and the ability to choose what you want to see (car/people/animal) make's reviewing video so easy. The 180 degree view is really sharp except on the sides you see some very small artifacts but nothing very serious and bothersome. The night vision (without IR) is really good. I've got mine set up to only turn on the light when motion is detected; otherwise, with IR / light on all the time it is a super spider/bug magnet. Why can't they make cameras with the IR wavelength that bugs don't see!?! Very easy integration with Blue iris and pretty good onvif compliance, although probably not 100%. I will be keeping my eye on Reolink for new models with similar features, particularly if they come out with a PTZ version.My only complaints are that the sound level, even at 100%, is not very audible like my other cameras. It almost sounds muted. The other issue is when the IR switches it is a LOUD annoying click. I know a lot of cameras have that click but none of my other cameras are nearly that loud of a click. The mic must be in close proximity to the IR cut filter.

I bought this to replace a 10 year old camera. I think the other camera was either 720p or perhaps 1080p. It worked - but had a limited field of view and night vision on it was just ok. People often could evade being detected if they walked up a certain part of my yard. The camera could not see it.The Duo 3 far exceeded my expectations. It easily sees 300% more of my yard than the old camera. Plus, the resolution is way better. No more delivery people will be able to sneak past this field of view with this camera.I am also using this with software called Frigate, which integrates with Home Assistant. Frigate was easy to set up. (My old camera worked with it as well).Other features the new camera has compared to my old one: microphone, speaker, better night vision, and a spotlight. I may not use the audio capabilities, but nice to have if I change my mind.The spotlight is reasonably bright. I like having this so if it detects motion at night, it will turn on. Useful for people walking up to the door or perhaps to spook a prowler.The app does not require an account. I downloaded it, installed it, and am able to watch my camera. I think I can set up an account and probably some type of paid plan, but have yet to be prompted by it. Very nice! I do not want to deal with another account. (Since I use Frigate as my nvr, I also do not want any paid services).I bought this on sale. I think it might have been cheaper than the camera I replaced from 10 years ago. Still amazed at how good it is.

Resolution is nice and high so the quality is there. Relatively easy to install, the cord can get in the way when mounting to a vertical surface, but I would think most of the time it will be mounted at a bit of a downward facing angle. Really works well viewing on a TV, but the app works on the phone or tablet.

I have 4 of these cameras in use at my small business, and for the most part, they are fantastic. With only 4 cameras, I have a 360-degree field of view around our main building. The resolution is excellent, and you can zoom in for great detail. However, at the height we have our mount at, it's not sufficient to get a crystal-clear read on a license plate. Which is fine, I knew that before buying them. When one of our neighbors experienced a break-in last month, one of our cameras captured a view of the getaway vehicle. I believe they knew the area and who had cameras, but they never would have guessed one tiny camera would have been able to capture as far down the street as they parked. So that's a major positive!My only real complaint is that the weatherproof connections could be better. I just recently bought two new cameras to replace two that failed due to water intrusion. I haven't had a chance to reach out to Reolink yet, but I was happy enough with them to just buy two more and figured I would worry about it later. This time around, we have the connections inside the building so we are optimistic these replacement ones will last.If you are mounting these in an area with a lot of traffic like ours and are planning on using motion alerts you'll want to play with the settings because these cameras see everything!

So we’ve had this for a good amount of time now. This is my most favorite camera. I have a few other Reolink cameras installed as well as Ring and a few cameras from Vivint. This camera is far superior than all the rest!
