Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Nvr interface is fairly easy to navigate. Comes with everything you need even a mouse mouse to navigate the menu. I'm not that tech savvy, but am handy. Needed to buy a few additional items like wires and connectors.

The only real drawback is the integration of the solar / battery powered cameras into the dvr. During the daytime the resolution is fantastic. The nighttime vision is good when there's no foul weather.

Reolink cameras are made from sturdy quality. The support is off the charts great. I like this product but it lacks security.



Cons

If you want plug and play, this is not something you want to buy. The native nvr app on the box itself is pretty clunky and the playback (and search) is almost unusable. Their hardware is trash is software is sketchy.

Kudos to amazon's return policy. It is disgusting when one must lay out more money for a dependable system.

Having to put in a password via the mouse is anoying.

    The only times i lose camera connection is when lightning strikes really close by
