> 3 dayThis is a review for the Reolink RLK16-810B8-A. (The RLK8-810B6-A system is the same, except only 6 cameras and a smaller hard drive.) The 4K cameras included are the RLC-810A which are PoE IP cameras. All I can say is that the video quality is good, but not great or outstanding. The video and picture resolution seems more like 2k cameras. When hooked to a professional 4K computer monitor or a nice 4k TV, the picture is definitely not 4K. When you view a different source such as a 4K YouTube video you will see what I am talking about. The clarity and crispness of a true 4K signal is very evident. Reolink has lost the ball with this one. Some background...As you probably know, a 4K camera allows you to take videos with a resolution of 3840 on 2160 pixels. It brings high-definition results, making the videos high-quality and realistic. When watching 4K video, you can distinguish the smallest details, which Full HD cameras often fail to provide. 4K is a video specification that literally just means 4,000. It gets its name from the approximately 4,000 pixels of width of the footage. Even the best quality, 1080p HD footage is only 1920 pixels across. 4K is significantly more detailed, since it has twice as many pixels horizontally, and four times as many pixels in total. Also, something to be aware of. The 8 camera 16 channel system has a larger 3TB hard drive and a fan in the NVR. The smaller footprint of the 6 camera 8 channel system has a 2Tb hard drive and no fan in the NVR. Conclusion: I decided to keep this system as alternatives were sparse. Picture quality is just….okay. NVR and App are sometimes buggy. Last bug was when zooming, the picture went blank. This happened when using the App and the Windows software. I did not try the direct connection from the NVR yet.

> 3 dayIf you are looking a great security system. Look no further. This is a great system. Very easy to work with and very easy to setup. I have done many different cameras but this by far is the best.

> 3 dayVery disappointed with this system! It seems to have the capability of identifying my other cameras but Reolink will not allow them to be viewed or record by their software. And for the price you would think they would have allowed you to use a cordless mouse, so the system could be placed in a secure place. I am replacing a system that was 1/3 of the price but was allowed to view and record other cameras on MY network and it even allowed me to use a cordless mouse.

Greater than one weekYou can see from the picture that there is a 1/4 of water in the camera the lines is fogy and it burnt out the night vision of the camera. I emailed them about this situation and another have had no response from them. There is no phone # its all on line. There Web sight could be a lot better hard to navigate. They say the cameras are weather proof but looking at some other clients they say they are not. Easy to set up but terrible customer support. Well after some Time they were able to help me out, something about an e-mail problem They did replace the camera and it works well. A contact # would be helpful. Im Happy.

Greater than one weekThe product quality is good and the seller has done a good job .. shipping through DHL couldnt be worse.. DHL held the product for more than a week in Kingdom due to some company processing problems but they were issuing a false information that the customs were delaying the shipment.. after contacting the customs authorities and one of DHL supervisors I have found it took only a few hours at the customs office and the delay was from DHL and there bad process..

> 3 dayI am very impressed with this out of the box solution! If you want PoE cameras this is a very strong solution. The price point is good. Support is excellent. I had a couple of questions prior to purchase and also made an error during set up but the support staff answered in less then 24 hours every time. Answers were accurate. The picture included is my garage in total darkness using the built-in lighting to the PoE camera. If there was an area to improve, I wish that the hard NVR would support Solid State Drives. Other than that I have no issues. I would recommend this system and would purchase again. David
