Reolink E1 Pro Indoor Camera 5MP, Pet Camera, WiFi Camera for Home Security

Great video quality. Once set up you don't need an internet connection. I have full time internet and have tried a few other cameras that always send their video to a distant server so there is a delay between what's happening on the camera view and what's actually happening outside. This can be several seconds or sometimes over a minute depending on internet activity. This camera does send its feed to a server so you can view from another location but if you are at home and watching what's going on you get a live feed from your own routers WiFi so the image is real time. There is an excellent phone app and a very comprehensive app for your home PC running Windows or Mac. Far better than all the other cameras I have tried before. You can set motion detection so it picks up any movement, or just triggered by persons or even just animals or any combination of the 3. Very good value for money as it can either save to a cloud server which you pay for as many other cameras, but it also saves to a SD card in the camera itself. You have the option when viewing to save any important video clips saved on your SD card to be copied to your hard drive, USB stick etc should you need it for evidence. A good camera with reliable and full featured apps.

Love this camera. First, the PoE capability means it can't be jammed by burglars, the quality is also great and doesn't rely on subscription.... cough cough ring..... expensive investment due to sd card prices at the moment but certainly worth it! I know I can rely on this when on holiday/out and it won't use my recordings to try find lost animals...? . Sound is great quality and very simple to setup. Very easily adjustable can basically mount it anywhere. Only complaint is that when it switches between day and night mode I get a motion alert.

I use this in my window to look out onto my car in the street. It streams and records a very clear picture, and playback from the SD card is very good as well. I've turned off the IR and "on" light, so overnight, because I have a street light outside the house, the recording is quite good. Daytime picture quality is excellent. Only downside is that because it is intended for indoor use, there can be some reflection from the window when looking out, particularly when the sun rises. But all in all, very good camera for the price. Oh, and added bonus is that it works a treat when using your laptop/PC, although to set up, you will need to do wiith your mobile. I use a 32GB SD card and this lasts just over 24hrs full recording. UPDATE 28/6/2024 : Been using it continuously now for a number of days, and in the interim I have put a 128GB SD card in to record video. This allows for about 3 1/2 days full recording, and when it fills up, it wraps around i.e. it maintains the last 3 1/2 days video, so that's a plus. Still 4 stars though as it can be just a little bit hesitant when first logging in, and also wifi can drop out when using playback, so make sure device is close to nearest router or mess device. I have alo used the support desk for some queries, and the guys there have been VERY helpful 👍 UPDATE 12/07/2024: Still going very well. Recording as required. Picture quality excellent. Just a slight hesitancy when using playback, but otherwise very good security camera and worth the money.

Brilliant product - so easy to get working and connected to the WiFi. App is very user friendly also that allows you to easily record at anytime. When you are out the motion detection automatically alerts your phone. I had a nightmare with an alternative product and gave up and had to return it - this however is fantastic- I’ll be buying more for sure

It was time to upgrade from some cheap D-Link IP cameras that were running well below HD and that I had had for years. I read some good reviews on these and found them in the compatible list for Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS so thought I'd go for it. Bought one to start, just to see what I was getting but bought a second a couple of days later; very happy with these cameras. Pros: Compact body – 8cm x 8cm x10.5cm No external antenna sticking out [and it doesn't appear to affect wi-fi connection range]. Very clear image at lower settings, fantastic at 4MP. Works with Synology NAS/Surveillance Station [I'm running v8.2]. Easy set up. Doesn’t get too warm. Very quiet when operating PTZ Ability to turn off Infrared LED so can be used through glass at night; works really well if you have street lighting. Ability to turn off front, blue power LED. Long power cable – 3 metres. SD card slot [takes up to 64GB] Discrete mount supplied [with screws and plugs] for wall or ceiling/under cupboard mounting. App. is full of features and settings, well laid out, easy to follow. Date, time and camera name displayed. Motion detection is very good, either with the camera's own settings or set via Surveillance Station. Cons: No ethernet connection - would have been nice but not essential as app. does all you need set up wise. No direct web interface - had this on my D-Link cameras but again, not essential as app. is fully featured and everything can be set and controlled through it. All in all, I'm really impressed and pleased with these cameras and can see myself adding more. They are streets ahead of my previous cameras and with the ability to turn off the infra-red LEDs I can now give up on the idea and hassle of mounting an outdoor camera, just going to use one of these sat inside the window instead. In regards to using with Surveillance Station on the Synology NAS. Despite being in the compatible list, when searched for during the process of adding a camera, they don't show up in the Synology Compatible list but they do show up in the ONVIF list [see photo] and from there, can be added and named appropriately. Also worth noting, I needed to reboot my cameras after their initial set up [through the Reolink app] before they showed up in Surveillance Station.

Absolutely brilliant camera! Video quality is good both day and night. I have my camera pointing outside through a window, meaning I have to have Infra red turned off. Despite this, the night vision still produces clear images. With infrared turned on (provided it's not pointing out a window, lol!) the night vision is exceptional. The motion detection is very consistent, camera identifies difference between animals, people and objects, and then tracks motion very reliably. App has brilliant functionality, with playback easy to access using app, and saves recordings for over 3 days on a 128GB SD card! Settings for the camera are almost unlimited, If there's anything you could need the camera to do, there's likely a way to set it up. It has been Very well thought of by Reolink. You can access the camera via the app from anywhere provided you have internet access and your camera has internet connection, you don't have to be on the same network. This is brilliant for remote monitoring as you can watch the cameras live stream. You can even use the PTS function on the app to move the camera remotely. This camera, for the money, is the best you can ask for. There's no in app subscription fees (as of Jan 2026). It's got brilliant reliability, endless functionality, and versatility. The only nit picks I would mention, but these are very insignificant, are that: The 5MP camera resolution is good, but could be better (if that's a priority for you, consider spending that bit extra) The app does take some time to get used to. The core functions that you'd use day to day are accessible as soon as you open the app, which is brilliant. But to get full use from the camera's capabilities (setting alarms, schedules etc), the camera settings menu does take some digging through and a bit of time to figure out. Would definitely recommend Reolink, so far my experience has only been positive. After trying another camera from EUFY, I can say that for small, affordable and basic security/monitoring, Reolink has much more to offer.

I purchased two E1 Pro cameras because they were advised as having a privacy mode and cry detection. Neither feature is present. It looks like Reolink have different “hardware” versions available and are falsely advertising that the units there are selling on Amazon have these features when they don’t. Neither of my cameras have privacy mode or cry detection. I’ve spent over £1k on Reolink cameras to date. They did the same with the E1 Zoom cameras too. False advertising and lacking advertised features aside, they are good cameras… EDIT: After contacting Reolink (again), they confirmed that the features need a new firmware update, but the update isn’t available via the app. Cameras sold don’t have this firmware either. Reolink have to manually push the firmware through to each unit so you get the advertised features. So you have to contact them, provide the device UIDs, and then then the firmware will be available. Seems bizarre to me. But if you’re in the same boat, ask Reolink for the new firmware…

Really impressed how easy it was to set up. Clear instructions working in minutes. Great picture quality and works with my new 5ghz router. No messing around spliting bands. You just choose which one and connect , EASY . Great product

Queste telecamere funzionano perfettamente: la rotazione copre ogni necessità di sorveglianza, inoltre molto apprezzabile la possibilità di cambiare la risoluzione in pixel della telecamera. A bassa risoluzione già si vede bene, mentre ad alta risoluzione si può ingrandire sorprendentemente molto l'immagine con ottima qualità. Nella norma l'illuminazione a IR che si attiva automaticamente con un livello di luce insufficiente. Questa funzione è disattivabile. Consiglio di tenerla disattivata perché altrimenti la telecamera consuma e si scalda, nel caso serva è sempre possibile attivarla 'al volo'. PESSIMA la app di gestione! Per collegarsi servono molti (troppi) tentavi! Comunque quando (finalmente) ci si riesce, ha un buon controllo della telecamera con funzioni di tutto rispetto. Forse usando altre app di gestione i collegamenti potrebbero migliorare...

Wir können es nur persönlich weiterempfehlen.

Perfect deze camera

Very easy to install and use. (To look outside a window in night time, you need the room to be totally dark.)

Great product and quality, very fast and easy setup, good Day/Night-time video quality. The Reolink app used to connect the camera to the wifi does not require any mail/login, no cloud needed. 100% local by default and compatible with Home Assistant + Reolink integration.
