Does the job
Needed to make Additions to my current cctv set up. Was easy to set and good value for money. Connecting was straight forward. I find reolink is a good quality system. With 36 channels it’s got great functionality.

Works well
Pretty easy to setup. I donât have cameras connected directly to it, but rather recording over the LAN. It works well and itâs good to have 24 hour recordings. Good value.

Much improved NVR
After having the odd issues with my 8 channel NVR, which I have had for years, I decided to buy a replacement. This one is much improved, especially with the fact it can handle camera firmware updates and its own updates. Added 2TB WD purple drive which I had From my old unit. The only thing it didnât state on the description, is that this version doesnât have PoE ports built in. Fortunately I had a spare 5 port netgear POE switch, and power for the other couple of cameras, but that could be a gotcha for those used to older versions that have this feature built in. Otherwise much better unit and much faster too. I use with a mix of HD and 4k cameras.

Good NVR for Reolink cameras
This is a really nice NVR, really easy to setup and use, playback function can be set to only show motion events, which helps to locate interesting events.Only works with Reolink cameras I believe.No HD supplied with this unit, but has capacity to fit 3 3.5″ Drives
TOM VAN DER PLOEG –
Very Disappointing.
First off the noise Unbearable to say the least. Ended up changing the fans for a couple of Noctuas, that quietened it down nicely. That said why can’t Reolink install a decent fan from the off.Second but more importantly the whole thing is almost completely inoperable. It came with no documentation and you can’t even find a manual for it online. After many hours of frustration managed to get it working to a degree.

Great Value – works very well
I replaced a previous Reolink unit with it only supported 8 cameras.This unit is missing the HDD but this is great since you can put your own drive in.Very easy to use and works very well with Reolink Cameras.

Good but for remote use beware of the user interface limitations
The problem is, there are several critical things that can only be done when connected to an HDMI monitor and, unless you want it in an office that’s a problem. If you put it in a cupboard somewhere out of the way, it is not possible to reconfigure via the web interface or app. Quite a serious omission, to say the least. So, while very good in some cases it can not be recommended for remote use. More galling, the older interface did allow these things and why the new one still does not after 3 years is inexplicable.

yo lo utilizo con cámaras reolink, es fácil de configurar y muy estable (varios meses funcionando sin. cortes). Reconoció los discos duros a la primera y solo tuve que enchufarlo a la red, cambiar la ip y empezar a añadir las cámaras que ya tenÃa distruidas. Se puede acceder a él de forma remota, no tiene funciones avanzadas de reconocimiento de vehÃculos, personas, etc pero para una solución doméstica lo veo suficiente

Ich bin seit längerem in dem Thema und muss sagen es hat meine survilence Station von synology abgelöst.Ich hatte ein recht performantes System keine ds…Egal das Teil hier ist sehr angenehm in der benutzung, sehr schnell bei der Wiedergabe und Spulen sind ebenfalls gefühlt in echtzeit möglich. Simultan aller Kameras, einzeln, mit ki Erkennung von Personen, Autos und Tiere.Keine fehl Alarme.H265 Hardware on Board.Hdmi am Gerät, Gehäuse lüfter ist leider etwas laut.Mit einem 40mm noctura war das aber auch gelöst.Hdd Lautstärke natürlich muss separat betrachtet werden, ich hab eine 4tb nas hdd drin. Leise und effektiv.Stromverbrauch so 12w mit 4tb ohne Monitor.15w mit einem hdmi Gerät, ich denke wegen der videoausgabe.Ich betreibe momentan 9x 4k Kameras reolink duo2 poe Tendenz steigendBis zu 3x sata Geräte, maximal 3x4GB =12GBLeider kein raid möglich, stört mich aber jetzt nicht so. Backup ist eine bessere Lösung. RAID ist für mich eine ausfallsicherheit kein Backup.Die Aufnahmen laufen auf der anderen Festplatte weiter wenn eine kaputt ist.Sofern eine zweite oder dritte Platte verbaut ist.Liveansicht auf dem hdmi Ausgang komplett alle 9 Kameras läuft auf hoher Auflösung.4k 30fps kann der hdmi port nativ.Handy app ist sehr gut, die webconsole ist leider sehr schlecht und vernachlässigt, schade weil die Einbindung in smarthome so umständlicher ist.Aber es gibt für jedes Betriebssystem ein Tool, also Android, Apple, Linux, Windows,…Also das Teil ist geil und reolink gibt langsam Gas was nvr Komponenten betrifft.Unterschied noch erwähnt zu den neuenReolink home hub pro 2TB.Ich kann onvif Kameras einbinden was der hub nicht kann.Und es sieht leider nicht so cool aus wie der hub. Ich denke die hdmi GUi ist beim hub auch moderner, muss ja, ist ja neuð¤£.Aber können fast das gleiche.Ach und keine poe am Gerät. Muss also im Idealfall sowieso über einen poe switch laufen.Aber einen 4 port switch mit eigenem DHCP und Netzwerk Einstellungen.

Actuellement utilisé avec un seul disque dur de 12 TB et 9 caméras. Tout fonctionne parfaitement.
UiP –
Bra produkt om man redan har PoE switchar.Dessutom bra att man kan själv välja vilka HDD man vill montera in.Fläktarna låter något högt, men inget som stör då jag har denna i en serverrack.Något som går att förbättra är mjukvarans användarvänlighet, dessutom ta fram en utförlig manual.Saknar möjligheten att kunna konfigurera de 4 LAN ingångarna (VLAN, IP mm).

Non è un poe ma il suo lavoro lo fa benissimo, se avete telecamere in giro per casa o azienda in rete e non potete portare tutti i cavi singolarmente, questo è per voi.ha le 4 porte in cui portare da 1 a 4 cavi, io ne uso solo una, sotto ho 1 switch primario e sotto ancora altre due switch in cascata di cui uno collegato in fibra tramite un media converter.Colleghi la telecamera allo switch poe o tramite poe injector e il dvr la vede subito, user, password e ip e il gioco è fatto.unica pecca secondo me, l’aggiunta delle telecamere può essere fatta solo tramite monitor collegato in hdmi o vga, diventata molto più comodo via rete secondo me.per ora ho un disco da 1 tb, non configurato, è tutto automatico in realtà , ventola non si sente.Altra figata è la gestione delle registrazioni, si possono programmare un pò a piacimento, sia sempre registra con indicatori di passaggio auto persone animali, oppure registra solo al passaggio, oppure ancora in alcuni giorni oppure in alcuni orari.Con l’aiuto del supporto reolink che risponde via mail sempre e subito, vi divertirete a configurarlo, davvero un ottimo nvr ed un ottimo supporto.
