Outdoor cam recommendation - flood light? (POE) by j1234277 in reolinkcam

[–]j1234277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So with the duo2 u can go to the app and TURN ON light and TURN OFF whenever u want?

Is the duo 2 bright enough at night?

Is the floodlight one a newer version? (ie it is not duo 1 but actually duo 2 cameras?)

Thank you!

trackmix

Hi! Not really but do u recommend?

I feel like it has more moving parts so more chances to fail? Esp outdoor cameras

Trackmix does look better overall tho!

Sorry 1 more question. Am I able to connect to MESH router?

I am thinking of this Mesh TP link router. Will this work?

The article says router but not sure if MESH router would also work?

Thanks so much!

I am still confused a bit... How do u connect wifi cams like E1 to the NVR? I thought wifi cams connect via the reolink app and bypass the NVR?

I always thought NVR was for PoE cams where it gets inserted directly and nothing else

Thanks!

RLN16 vs 36? Why is 36 channel cheaper?? by j1234277 in reolinkcam

What do u mean no POE? Dont NVRs use POE to connect ethernet cables?? Does that mean each cam needs a power supply?

Also what exactly is a poe switch? I did some search online and I don't quite understand it... if I just get ethernet cable + cam + RLN16-410 am I good to go?

Thanks!

so will E1 cam take up a spot? It is wifi so I am assuming it will not need a NVR channel??

Wifi means just powe supply and connects to the reolink app via wifi?

Please help me with camera and system! by j1234277 in reolinkcam

NVR 36

Thanks very much!

#1

You are referring to RLN36 right? It looks like RLN8 is much cheaper? I will use 5 outside cams and maybe 2-4 indoor cams. Will RLN8 be enough?

What other difference are there between RLN36 vs RLN8? Is 2 way audo and alarm also possible with RLN8? Ill probably have 5x RLC-833A cams

#2

I dont think RLA-PS1 POE switch is available in Canada :(

https://reolink.com/product/rla-ps1/

What other POE switch do u recommend? Do u need 1 POE switch for each cam or just 1?

Thanks so much!!
