This has the best 2 way audio i have ever experienced on a doorbell. I have it on a noisy street, and I have previously used Nest, Logitech, Ring (their most expensive model which was PoE), and Eufy. Nothing compares in terms of audio - its almost like as if it is a phone call with no background noise.

I just threw my blink doorbell in the recycling! I wish I would have burnt it ! as it doesn’t deserve to be recycled into anything! It was sooo slow! The Reolink doorbell cam is great ! Well going to Reolink from blink isn’t really a fair comparison! But I feel like the Reolink can hold its own with ring , google and even ubiquiti doorbells! At a fraction of the price! The only complaint I have with this device is when someone pushes the doorbell your phone actually rings and when you answer it takes you to the app ! In its last state!!!! I have 2 other cameras with Reolink and I’m usually check the front yard cam and not the doorbell! So 9 time out of 10 I end up there when app opens! So I have to then navigate to doorbell cam. Which isn’t hell but time consuming! But I almost always get to see the person at the door! It plays well with Alexa . My echo show 5 and 8s always load the doorbell cam with in a 10 count ! Very happy I went to Reolink! I took the POE version so I had to pass a wire but it’s worth it ! Connection speed are superior! I’m enjoying this camera! I took cheaped out and took the blink not even a year ago and it was just deplorable the connection time! If you can don’t waste time with blink! A wise man said to me “I’m too poor to be cheap!” In my industry we say buy nice or buy twice! Good luck everyone!!!

Easy to setup. Great for a POE front door camera. Quality is amazing. For the price it's a great deal. Also able to add it to my Hikvision NVR via OnVif protocol. So thats really good to have back up recording files.

The hardest part of installing this was running the cable to where I could connect it to my network and also install a PoE switch to provide power. I already had an Argus Eco camera set up on my network, and the doorbell connected to the Reolink app on my phone automatically, and also on the Reolink client on my PC. Now I can view both cameras at once on my phone or PC. Awesome wide angle view, and responses to motion detection or when someone presses the doorbell are almost instant, and it prerecords several seconds before an event so you get to see the visitor's approach as well. Intercom only has a 1 sec delay, and the chime was pre-synced. Very easy to set up and so much more responsive than Wi-Fi battery doorbell cameras, and no more recharging to worry about either.I had a little trouble getting it connected to my Alexa Echo Show 5. Following Reolink's instructions, when I tapped on "Smart Home" I kept getting the error "Failed to obtain configuration information". Eventually I figured out that I needed to log out of my Reolink account on my phone, then log back in. After that, it worked and pretty much added itself. Now I can say "Alexa, show me the front door", and I can see the live feed on the Echo Show within a few seconds. I can also use the intercom from the Echo Show. However, I cannot get alerts or view recorded events. For that, I need to use the phone app or the Reolink client on my PC.

We've owned a security system NVR for a few years now and finally decided it was time to install a doorbell camera. I chose a Reolink camera because I've read positive reviews for their products in the past. I wanted a PoE camera that was onvif compatible, hoping that it would work with my existing AvertX recorder, which is compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). I recieved the Reolink doorbell camera and installed it in the same spot our existing doorbell was mounted previously. This is a wired PoE camera and in order to keep the install hole small, it required me to wire my own ethernet cable with my favorite RJ45 "pass through" connectors. I chose cat5e cable because it was thinner than the cat6a and cat8 cables that I have. The Reolink unit comes with an adapter to tilt the camera at a 15° angle which I chose to use since our sidewalk curves off to one side. I was able to install this, and configure it to work with our AvertX NVR all in the same day. The Reolink app was easy to install, works well and notifies me of any activity captured by the doorbell camera. The picture is crisp, the two-way audio is a great feature and the ability to play quick reply messages to visitors at the door is a nice feature. You can also record your own custom quick reply messages. There are different sounds for visitors, person, or any motion, you can also opt to turn these sounds off. To be honest, the only thing about the Reolink doorbell camera that was disappointing to me was the fact that there are only 10 different sounds to choose from. The ability to add more sounds or make custom sounds for the different motion events would have been a huge plus in what is already a solid performing camera. If you're looking for a great doorbell camera that performs well and requires no monthly fees, Reolink has you covered!

It just works! I love that I can use it offline with Home Assistant, making it super easy to integrate into my smart home setup. The hardest part was running a POE cable to my doorbell, but once that was done, it was smooth sailing. The night vision is amazing, and the image quality is clear. There’s a bit of a delay when talking through it, and the sound is a little quiet, but I rarely use that feature. The remote doorbell is fantastic— I can place it wherever I want, which is really convenient!

PoE version is perfect if you already have the PoE infrastructure at home. Simple plug and play operation and hasn’t missed a beat recording to Synology surveillance station, HomeKit (via Scrypted) and to an internal microSD.Just make sure you have a way of getting the Ethernet cable to where you need. If your doorbell is on a distant gate down the driveway then this product may not be ideal for you.

I had bought into the whole Blink infrastructure, yea I know. Which was comically bad. The doorbell didn't work as a doorbell after one of their many updates, which is kinda an inexcusable fail. The only person that could hear it "ring" was the person that pushed the button. Recorded video and detected motion OK, but was the worst of the Blink products at that. I had one on every outside door (5). Between that and their Floodlight, that doesn't reliably work as a floodlight, I gave up, all going in the bin.That was a Black Friday impulse buy, and bought more of it, as it worked pretty well for what it costs for a while, then they updated it into uselessness. So, a little research this time around, and came across the Reolink, and well, by comparison, it's night and day. As a doorbell, it does what you'd expect a doorbell to do, push the button and it rings, and with the Alexa skill, it rings everywhere, and in my house that's a lot of places. It's like noon in an old clock shop when someone pushes the button. Given that the problem it was intended to solve was a vendor who felt their product was so valuable that it required an in-person direct adult signature to deliver, and the old doorbell gave the false sense than I heard that there was someone at the door, well the Riolink was ordered, delivered and installed before that delivery was re-attempted the next day.So the Riolink costs a lot more than the Blink, but still, not all that expensive. I have also worked with Axis which is the polar opposite. The Riolink is cheap in comparison to those. But the Riolink has a whole lot more in common with Axis than with Blink. I mean it's just a doorbell, but that doorbell has all the same kind of camera configuration options as the Axis cameras had. Not least of which, and maybe this sounds dumb, but the ability to just bring up the camera and watch it if you are expecting something. I don't know how common that is for all the consumer doorbell cams between the bottom of the barrel Blink and the Riolink, but NOT being able to just camp on a cam seemed pretty ridiculous to me. And i can do this on a real screen, on my PC and not be restricted to a smartphone app.All this makes it way better, BUT that's just the tip of the iceberg. It has some pretty impressive integration with Home Assistant, it has actual Ethernet conductivity, and PoE, and it has a pretty impressive image quality. Yea, I had to drill a hole because it wasn't just batteries and WiFi, but I'd rather have wired or wireless any day, worth the effort. Oh and support for local storage.So, the nit picks...The included angle bracket isn't enough and additional one to stack them up aren't available, and unlike a lot of the doorbell cameras there is no aftermarket for such things. I ordered some made for the Arlo cam that many have adapted for this cam, we'll see how that goes. Yea there are a lot of people selling 3D printed ones, but I'd rather just buy something manufactured, even if I have to adapt it.The included chime is a 1 to 1 thing, apparently you can pair to more than 1 chime but you can't pair multiple doorbells to the same chime. It would be nice to have multiple chimes and multiple doorbells and they all just work with all, but I guess not. However the Alexa integration really makes that not so much of a deal as I have an Echo or a FireTV Cube in every room, so honestly the chime doesn't matter so much. The down side of that is that you are no longer local if you are using that skill, from either side, you have to join the cams to the Riolink cloud service and then pair that service with Alexa which is also cloud.Oh and I had initially bought 2, the PoE version and the WiFi version, not really realizing that the WiFi version still needs to be externally powered. It does however also have an Ethernet port, which I wish also did PoE but it doesn't. I had bought a bunch of 24V PoE injectors a while back hoping they would power my EcoBee thermostats (they didn't, AC only apparently) but they work fine on the WiFi version of the Riolink, I guess even the included power adapter is actually 24V DC (not the 24VAC that is typical for doorbell wiring). So apparently AC/DC doesn't matter, though did read somewhere that it's 24V DC or 12-24V AC, so guessing that much more commonly available 12V PoE adapters wouldn't work.Anyway, like I said I had 5 Blink doorbells, which are all getting replaced with these. I have tons of PoE ports in my house, so it's just a matter of getting a cable from A to B. I will be trying Their cameras as replacements for the rest of the Blink stuff as well, so far I am impressed, a few minor gripes, but overall meets and exceeds...
