REOLINK 4K PoE Security Camera System, Home Outdoor IP Camera in 180 Degree Viewing Angle, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Color Night Vision, Two Way Talk, Up to 512GB microSD Card, Duo 2 PoE

Everything listed was in the box (even extra mounting screws/anchors), including a short cable for connection of the POE switch to the network modem. You must supply your own ethernet cable to the camera and your own POE switch (my old one died after about 8 years continuous service). Setup was a breeze - took 10 minutes (I had prior POE cameras so know the ropes). The only wrinkle was getting the SD card to seat in the slot. The slot is mounted a little deep in the case, so it is not possible to get the card to stay by pushing with the finger tip. I had to press it into place using the edge of a credit card. Other than that, no problem in setup. The camera even formatted the disk for me. My ethernet wire was already in place from a prior camera. Foolishly, I had let it hang out exposed to weather for > 1 year (under a porch roof) after I removed the old camera, which quit prematurely (it was NOT Reolink). The exposed copper wires in the RJ-45 jack were visibly corroded, so first try, the camera failed to connect. I then cleaned each wire carefully and individually with the edge of 400 grit sandpaper, then a tiny bit of vinegar brushed on with a stiff toothbrush; immediate, firm connection afterward. No problem with drops or disconnects. My particular wall mount was a bit challenging, as I had to drill into rough, irregular a stone-faced wall on the front of my house - covered by a porch roof - perfect to prevent sun shining directly into the lenses. There is some washout in areas of shadow under the roof when the sun is bright, but not too bad. Picture quality is quite good (certainly compared to my old camera), but I can't say it appears to be 4K. The image stitching is perfect. Certainly, the picture quality is sufficient for my purposes. Given my situation, it is very unlikely that license plates will ever present themselves to the camera, so I don't know if resolution is sufficient to read them. Individualizing all the settings - lighting, recording, and alarms - is straightforward and intuitive. The hardware is extremely well-designed and well made of quality materials to very close tolerances. Even the screws are high quality of stainless steel (a reliable sign of quality, in my experience) All-in-all, I am quite pleased with the Reolink POE Duo 2. Very good value for the price. The front of the camera (the black part) runs quite warm/hot. The website says this is normal. Since Reolink knows this and tells customers about it, I am hoping it does not make for premature failure. The duration of the warranty should permit operation through all ambient temperature conditions. In light of the overall quality, I am hoping for the best.

I was a Reolink camera early adopter. The early cameras were 1080P and POE. I built my own DVR and had a nice little security system. As the years have gone by I have added pieces to my security system. First came the cameras outfitted with SD cards. This was a nice upgrade. Then they came out with the PTZ zoom cameras. These were nice too. 4K arrived and this was a game changer. The next improvement was motion detection and tracking. This with the 4K I thought was as good as you get. Then came the duo 2. This camera is without a doubt the best camera Reolink has ever made. It is just insane how good it is. The video quality of the side by side cameras in insanely good. The two images are stitched together to appear as one super high quality view. I replaced a camera I had covering the middle part of my back yard. It was a 1080P Reolink. Great camera that served me well. To say the duo is better is an understatement. It is better in every aspect and even more. First it has a full 180 degree view. I can see my entire back yard. The quality of the image is amazing. It has built in IR which lights up my whole back yard which is 40X60. If it detects motion the incandescent spotlights power on and it goes from the black and white infrared to full color. Again the whole back yard is viewable on the camera and in high quality. The advanced motion detection activates the internal SD card and also my DVR. It records in 4K H265 for small file sizes. The motion detection is night and day better than earlier models. Its smart motion detection can detect persons, dogs and vehicles. It is very accurate. No more false triggering the camera. I liked this camera so much I bought a second one with the built in spotlight for my front yard. My final thought is well done Reolink. If you're looking for a reasonably priced security camera with high end quality and features you can't go wrong with this camera.

REO LINK IS THE BEST CANERA SYSTEM i HAVE FOUND MY BACKGROUND INCLUDES YEARS AS GOVERNMENT SECURITY OFFICER AND THESE CAMERAS ARE THE CLOSEST PERFORMING TO THOSE CAMERAS i CAN FIND ON A BLUE COLLAR BUDGET THE CAMERAS MISS NOTHING GIVE VERY GOOD PICTURE QUALITY NICE BRIGHT LIGHT FOR NIGHT PHOTO COLOR AND ADDED SECURITY FUNCTION THE MOTION DECTION IS VERY RELIBLE BEING ABLE TO ZOOM IN IN A VIDEO CAN HELP VERY MUCH A GOOD FEATUREWAS WORK TO INSTALL RUNNING THE CABLE SO THAT WILL DEPEND ON YOUR DISTANCE AND NEED I RAN CABLE 200 FEET THE TECH IS EASY TO USE AND UNDERSTAND AND MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN WI FI

Was really wanting to get the Duo 1, but after realizing that I would eventually need all channels in my NVR, the benefit of the 180 degree shot coming out of one camera and being used as one feed was better than the two separate images I originally desired. The merge point on this camera is pretty good, the software allows you to adjust the alignment as needed. This camera has exceeded my expectations in almost all areas, with that being said, there are a few downsides. 1- aiming and positioning this camera is not great. The mount does the job, but I had to mount this camera about 2 ft lower than the rest of my bullet/dome cameras as it was catching IR glare from the other cameras at night, and wanted the IR sensors to shoot out further. If I mount high, I cant get the low view and IR is pointing to the ground, making objects in the distance blacked out completely. The only real solution I can come up with, is to make the body of this camera smaller. 2- excessive glare. With standard cameras, if you encounter glare from a security or flood light, you can simply reposition it. However, with the dual lenses, its almost impossible to eliminate that glare aside from repositioning the camera or offending light source. End result, at night, half of my view has a glare on it, but I can live with it, camera still does its job. 3 - the adjustment to trigger IR sensors is insufficient, as I find with all other reolink cameras with this option. My neighbor has a 200W floodlight blasting into my backyard to be spiteful, this causes the cameras to think there is a good bit of light and prevents the triggering of the IR lights. with the cameras in direct view of the flood light, even adjusting the slider as far as I can in either direction, will not solve the issue. If anyone else has this issue, the solution is to save that blue tape that comes covering the lens. Cut out a square, place it over the daylight sensor. If one layer does not work, I apply sharpie to the outside of the first layer, and then cover that with another layer of the blue tape. Or basically do any other version of this, the idea is to impede some light going to the daylight sensor. Either way, never had to deal with this with my older camera setups. Aside from those three issues, camera is excellent. Great quality image, good features and appropriately priced. Can't go wrong with this.

I was trying to setup security camera that will monitor narrow walkway on the side of the house, but because suitable spot for the camera is in the middle, big challenge for my setup is to monitor both left and right sides of the walkway. Initially I thought I would have to setup two separate cameras (one pointing left, and another pointing right), but this camera provides simple and clean single-camera solution. This camera has two separate wide view cameras covering full 180deg view, but two images are stitched into a single feed, making it a single logical camera. The stitching line (in the middle) is practically invisible. Unlike fisheye cameras (that can be used to achieve 180deg view) this camera provides good quality image across entire 180 view, also visual distortions are not too bad - straight walkway looks slightly curved, but image quality is perfectly usable, and resolution is good. Night vision is good as well, using built-in IR illuminator LEDs. The camera also has built-in white light that can be triggered (e.g. by motion), it is reasonably bright, and could be helpful. I'm using this camera with Blue Iris software, in ONVIF mode. Configuration is easy using free Reolink tool, easier to use and more convenient than typical WEB UI of a security camera, but WEB UI is provided as well.

I purchased two of these 180 degree cameras and was able to replace two cameras with each one of these purchased. Each place on my property I placed one of these cameras I had two cameras pointed to cover the same area with a single camera and with a higher quality picture. The built-in flood light is an excellent bonus as well. The ability to use a single network cable to take advantage of PoE support for data and power makes installation easy. The weather rated connection to protect the RJ-45 jack ensures long term life for an outdoor setup. Options for data storage locally via SD card, an NVR, or in cloud provide many options for storing recorded video.

PROS: - Amazing 180 degree images from these dual cameras - High-quality images - Two-way audio - Night-time IR vision out to about 90m - Excellent motion detection & differentiation between people, vehicles, and pets - during the day - Lots of options for fine-tuning the system's detection & deterrence. (You can paint non-detection zones for each camera, set each camera to detect or not detect vehicles and/or people and/or animals, detection sensitivity for each, whether to turn on the spotlight, whether to turn on the siren, etc.) - PoE (Power over Ethernet) with NVR system is easier to install than coaxial cable & power adapters with DVR systems - Wired system provides higher quality images and more reliability without interference than wireless systems CONS: - Night-time detection without ambient light doesn't work well. You have to be within 15-20 feet for it to detect you, and even then, it didn't detect me at all about 10% of the time. A couple of times I was able to get all the way to the front door and the garage door without being detected at all. I have tried various adjustments and worked with Reolink's senior support, and they have been unable to resolve the issue. This is a deal breaker for me. Night-time deterrence is my #1 requirement. - At night, the cameras generate a lot of false alarms. I've tried various settings, but it hasn't helped. - When you get an alert, there's no way to immediately see the video of the alert that just happened. This is important to me to be able to quickly distinguish between real threats and false alarms. - The software is somewhat buggy. Changing settings doesn't always stick. - The software is inconsistent. There are some settings you can only change on the phone, and others that you can only change on the desktop app or directly connected to the NVR. I'm not sure yet which manufacturer to switch to. Those I've researched so far seem to all have about 10-15% of their customers extremely dissatisfied due to faulty systems.

Reolink designs products that just work. You dont have to be tech savvy to set up or use them. Plug them in and go. This camera is the best yet. It is the perfect solution for the front of the house/garage/driveway. It has a clear view of approximately 100 feet of my frontage, can see all 4 cars parked in my driveway, has Reolink's top notch human and vehicle detection, has programmable flood lights and a settable siren/alarm. This camera replaced two of Reolink's 4K cameras that I had at opposing corners of my driveway pointing in opposing directions. With this camera, I get a single feed for most of the front of my property (everything except the southern corner which is obstructed by a pair of trees.) If you are on the fence about doing the legwork to install POE (wired) security cameras, just bite the bullet and do the work. They are immeasurably better than any of the solar/battery solutions out there. Set them up ONCE, and never mess with them again. Since installing a Reolink system, I have probably saved as much time not messing with cameras as time spent installing the Reolink system. There may be better systems on the market, but the Reolink equipment does everything I want it to do, does it well and is reasonably priced. Could not recommend this product more.

Very good camera and very wide. Lots of features.

Great workhorse camera. Cheap, large FOV and easy to setup. We operate over 40 Reolink cameras on our production line in a challenging environment, and have experienced only one failure in the last three years. They work great within their own system, but if you are using a third party (Ubiquiti or Blue Iris) to view/store, they can be a bit glitchy.

Excellent customer support. Background: I had to claim the warranty for this product after 11months due to some issues. I suspect the hot weather make the device fail during the month of August I was hesitant to log a complaint thinking that it's waste of time and effort but finally I did it and I received an excellent support. Product Quality: The product quality is good and I am very satisfied with the product.

The Reolink Duo 2 180° Camera has completely changed the way I approach home security. It’s an outstanding product that combines versatility, quality, and performance into one device, making it an easy favorite in my setup. Wide Coverage – Two Cameras in One The standout feature of this camera is its dual-lens 180° field of view. It effectively replaces two traditional cameras, allowing me to cover an entire side of my house with just one device. This efficiency means that instead of needing eight cameras, I only need four Duo 2 cameras to monitor my property thoroughly. This not only saves money but also simplifies setup and maintenance. High-Quality Video and Audio The video quality is excellent, delivering crisp and detailed footage day and night. The built-in floodlight is impressively bright, improving nighttime visibility and acting as a deterrent for potential intruders. The audio quality is equally impressive—clear and reliable, which makes two-way communication easy when needed. Fast Playback and Reliable Storage With an SD card, playback is fast and dependable. Reviewing footage is smooth and hassle-free, and I haven’t experienced any lag or issues retrieving video. This reliability gives me peace of mind knowing I can quickly access recorded events if needed. Future Plans – Testing the Duo 3 I’m so impressed with the Duo 2 that I’m planning to test the upcoming Reolink Duo 3 next. If it’s anything like the Duo 2, I expect it to be another game-changer. Final Thoughts The Reolink Duo 2 is an incredible piece of hardware. It offers unbeatable coverage, top-notch quality, and reliable performance, all in a single device. Whether you’re upgrading your current system or starting from scratch, this camera is a fantastic investment. I couldn’t be happier with its performance and highly recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their home security system.
