How many did you order? Was actually gonna ping you the other day to see if you'd be keen for a group buy... guess i was too late..haha
I have two and really like them. Prefer them over the 810. Just being able to zoom and get a good position is great. So I can mount them in a nicer place and zoom to what I want to watch
Cheaper to buy 2 but only had money for 1.
But after buying some stuff for my youngest, should have bought 2 and been able to say I have no money
Hmm ... depends on price. Interested in a few RLC410s to close 2 blind spots and to replace the wifi Argus 2. Argus fine but wake up lag can sometimes be irritating.
Yep. Replacing the 810A. Will either replace one of the others with 810A or use it to cover 3 blind spots I have.
Just for interest I have:
3 x 810As
1 x Argus 2 wifi
4 x 410 5mp
Awaiting 1 × 811A which will probably take a month or more!
Ultimately in real life the 410s and argus are fine.
The 810As are great in terms of distance viewing but pretty much overkill for my purposes of simply being able to identify cause of a security beam / alarm breach.
The 811A is for my gate to see any cars approaching and be able to capture as much detail as possible. Thus can't wait for 12mp to be on sale!
But as I said for other spots, a 410 is adequate. Although the 510A better because of smart detection.
So guess question is:
How do you experience the reolink cameras in real life (IRL)? Does more pixels make a difference IRL application?

I was not aware that there are 3 versions of the RLC 810A
m.reolink.com
Checked my 810As and only possible way to identify may be the build number or hardware version.

Let me know if you still placing order.
I'll be ready next month to order 3 x whatever refurbished poe cameras on sale.
Just waiting to check the RLC811A in case its really worth more money it costs.

How did shipping work, is that really Hikvision or a Chinese knock off?
Let me know how the testing go, very interested
Got one. Works perfectly.
Redundant since I've got a house size UPS and just added solar panels.
Edit mine only 15/19 and up to 24V not 48V
