Smart outdoor security cameras in SA?

Great, thanks.
Yeah, getting 2 and then, if it all works as expected, will get another 4.

What are you using for PoE injection, a PoE switch or a standalone injector?

Have a poe switch but will order a nvr with poe.
 
Whatever you do, don't get the Xiaomi.

Absolutely a piece of crap.

I've had many crap cameras but this takes the cake.

And it's their flagships.

I already use that exact switch for the other camera's - only need to power two camera's in remote locations - I ordered the banggood stuff - lets see if they work.

Was about to order the Reolink Camera, but first went and had a look at the POE switch again. Yesterday the price was about R600.00, today it is R 975???

So I guess I can just as well put the camera purchase on hold for now.

Contact them and question it. Might just be lucky and get it at that price
 
I see now that Scoop have 2 almost identical models.

The one is with FE ports (10/100Mbps) and the other one has GE ports.

One is R 575 and the other one R 975

My bad

Ordered the Scoop POE Switch from Geewiz for R490, and 1x Reolink RCL410

What is the ETA give or take for the camera from Reolink?

Thanks guys

I assume you're referring to something like this:
scoop.co.za

Scoop 6 Port Fast Ethernet 4 PoE 60W Switch

Scoops SPS-4F2F is an unmanaged 4 port Fast Ethernet AI PoE switch with 2x Fast Ethernet uplink ports.
scoop.co.za scoop.co.za

Will see if I can find a 6 or 8 port version (since I'm planning on getting 6 cameras over time)

Looks like a decent option: https://www.loot.co.za/product/tend...ernet-desktop-switch-with-8-po/yvsh-7039-g1a0

Less than 2 weeks. Got mine yesterday. DHL fast. Reolink takes a week to get it to DHL.

Out of interest, did the DHL tracking link provided ever work for you?
Mine's been "shipped" since the 8th, and still nothing on the DHL site.

Yes works. I use the app.

But remember first week ... dhl waiting on reolink.

Once they get it, it moves quickly.

Just checked - collected 1 Oct, delivered 5 Oct.

Previous order was also quick.

Reolink tells you shipped but check actual details. Will show only paperwork done. Nothing received by DHL.

My tracking just went "live".

I ordered 1 day after you did @MongooseMan

See if you can now maybe see your tracking info via the link.
