They are picking up as using Hikvision protocol on my Hikvision NVR,fidelity is quite good,even the Nightvision
Guess it depends on the price you want to pay,i'm not disappointed in it

Was waiting for BF but decided to buy another 2 rlc 410s just in case you right about price. $40 a camera best price to date for new ones.

I'll check next year when new cameras come out for better prices.

$40 ea? wow that's cheap. Maybe I should go grab a few more just for incase.

EDIT: True as nuts. I just checked. Wow. I think I'm gonna just grab another 6 for in case. No idea where I'm gonna use them, but still a bargain.

EDIT2: ****, I was hoping they have the special on the dome cameras as well

Just check every day or 2. Price has dropped on the bullet every day over the last few days. Some might drop up to BF as well.

Anybody know how long the delivery from Reolink takes?

There is a bundle special. Think 8 domes and 16 channel nvr for about R16k.

Great bundle but too expensive for me!

Thanks man. I just ended up grabbing another 4 cameras to cover a last few dead spots around the sides of the house.

Hmm 8 cameras cover me.

Have 2 Wyze pan cameras. Lag bit crappy. So want to replace with 2 Reolink PTZs. Just steep price!

4 x Reolinks POE

1 x Reolink solar powered. Lag sometimes. So want to replace with POE camera.

1 x Hikvision. Will replace it eventually with a POE.
 
My issue is all the weird angles and narrow spots between building and outer wall. Plus lots of garden in the back. I can currently cover all entrances to the house, but I'm missing out on some of the perimeter wall. I want to detect the crims as they come over the wall, not when they at my front door. I'll end up with 14 cameras at the end

Thanks. No funds now.

First need to
1. Finish neutrals and install smart light switches. 7 still to go
2. Replace some doors and install deadbolts for future smart locks
3. Get an NVR
4. Get the wedding anniversary costs out of the way . Luckily anticipated costs months ago.

Anything you've seen worthwhile yet? Whatever I've seen so far was stupid expensive and had to import. Granted, I didn't spend too much energy on this but something I'd like to do.

The Wyze locks seem reasonably priced. Last checked one could get it for $99.

But willing to spend money on best I want for one main door.

Wyze internet connection tends to be an issue.
 
I am about to place an order for 2 of these. What else will I need to do the full install?
