love how concise your videos are. We've been looking for an outdoor 360 and this gives a lot of great information
Awesome work once again Rob! Good to see the Reolink performing above it's weight as usual. So glad they are working on their night time performance with the CX410 and hopefully a future CX810.
CX410 review will be in December. I haven't heard of a CX810, but I agree that would be an exciting release.
But they had the timing issue... so they fixed one thing and broke another
@@TheHookUp CX810 doesn't exist but was the most requested for them to develop next.
Reolink fuckin rules for a cheapskate like me
Amazing video. I bought my Reolink equipment based on your channel and I'm about to replace my indoor pan and tilt with the Reolink FE-P now, based on this video. Right now. About to place my order.
Just found your videos today! They are awesome for comparisons…I’ll be watching everything, great job👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos helped me choose a multi camera setup for a friend's business. I love your channel and tell anyone interested in any of the products you compare to watch your channel. I hope you keep up the same quality of work for a long time. I couldn't ask for better...
Another great informational video! Thank you 👏👏
Amazing details and comparison as always
Grear review Rob. I got the Reolink FE-P in a entry foyer and really like it. My wife, not so much!! But it is disabled when we are home. Still looking for a good discrete indoor POE camera.
I have had a GeoVision EFER37 pointed at the sky on the top of an 18 foot 4x4 since 2019 monitoring my weather. Unbelievable weather proofing
I have the Reolink fisheye and I sealed up a few parts of it and put it outside under the eave of the garage for a few weeks now. It’s been in high humidity of 91% and it’s still working great. As long as you don’t get water on it and seal up those small parts apart from the sd card location which I taped up with duct tape for easy access. It works great
Would you consider reviewing the consumer grade hybrid thermal IP cameras? Compatibility with NVR and value vs night vision without.
Hello what would you recommend for an indoor camera for reliability without risking security?
Reolink seems to continue having issues with its firmware. I had a similar accumulating delay issue with the WiFi doorbell, in my case for audio only, until I switched from RTSP to RTMP. This made the delay consistent. I wonder whether the RTMP stream in your case would also help. C'mon Reolink, you are so close to greatness!
Great video!!
great video, did you have the reolink on 24/7 recording? i find with my reolink if i have it set to record 24/7 and also motion then the bar on the bottom is all blue and i cant distinguish the motion over the "timer" event. maybe i have something setup wrong, not sure.
thanks the hook up, surveliance with style 😎😎
Thanks Rob.
Hi Rob, great video. I've been watching your channel for a while and really appreciate the effort you put into testing products!
I will soon be in the market for some new cameras, and would be happy to use your affiliate links as a way to give back, but I'm outside the US.
Do you know if I can use your US amazon affiliate link, then switch to another country inside amazon to be able to order in Europe? Or is it better to go direct to the manufacturer site (Reolink in the case of the cameras I'm looking at)?
Again thanks for all your efforts!
Chris
Would be great to see the outdoor cameras tested outside.
@TheHookUp - Hello, first time viewer of your channel here. Good reviews! :) My question: What about an outdoor camera that stares at the full sky, especially to see satellites and meteors? Is color at night a realistic thing to ask for? Also, please note that your talking speed interferes with your enunciation, which at one critical point made it impossible for me to tell whether you said "can" or "can't".
Does the Loryta do any onboard dewarping? Can that be grabbed via a stream?
That nighttime Revotech video LOL. Now you can film Paranormal Activity at your own home.
Do you get an outdoor one 180 degree wifi csmers ... ?
It's always a trade-off between higher resolution and lower sensitivity, all other things equal. Smaller pixels on the detector mean fewer photos per pixel and lower S/N ratio. Some sensor manufacturers have higher sensitivity processes when fabricating detectors that can offset this, but of course, these alternatives are more expensive. This is why I cringe when I see ever MORE MEGAPIXELS!! in ads for the next phone.. at some you have all the resolution you need and I'd rather not give up on the low-light performance.
Another great review video and I continue to appreciate the methodical approach that you use when making these. Always worth the time to see what you've got to say!
I'd have expected the Hikvision to have performed the best then, since the sensor was pretty large (6MP 1/1.8"). Lots of variables to consider.
Don't forget about Frigate NVR! I got tired of the yearly Blue Iris fees and Windows requirements. Also, would be nice to know if any of these cameras can output multiple different normalized streams which would work great in Frigate.
Still confused about how to use these cameras with a different brand NVR. I have a Hiseeu NVR that works well with their brand of cameras, but they do not have a 360deg camera in their stock.
How would I get one of these cameras to interact with my NVR? I vaguely understand ONIV protocols, but do have networking knowledge generally.
I do have to say I like my Ui 360Ai camera does a pretty great job for sure.
I don’t have your email so I have to ask on here. Firstly, your channel and reviews are great. Secondly, I need your advice and hopefully you can help. I don’t have a sealed dedicated room but my area in the basement is really nice after I renovated it. Two rows of seats and a riser. The issue is that I can only fit a 100” screen on my wall because of how my soffit was done on the right side of my tv.
I could do a epson or jvc or Sony but I do not want a huge projector hanging over my head while sitting in second row. What is the best small/life style projector out there that I can build a shelf for from my ceiling so it can sit on it? I’m also thinking of going with an ALR screen. Your help will be appreciated, thx
have you had experience with the Unifi AI 360? how does it compare to the Reolink FE-P?
Quality is similar, but I don't think they are competing products. If you are using UniFi protect you would buy the AI360 because it's your only option. If you are using any other NVR or camera system you wouldn't buy the AI360 because it's not ONVIF compliant.
I had the same delay accumulation with my RLC-822a cameras. Reolink sent me a new unreleased firmware that resolved the issue, maybe they have a solution for the camera too.
What camera would you suggest for adding to a reolink system that would cover a very shallow front porch? I was thinking of a doorbell but my front door bakes in the Texas heat from noon to sundown. I’m afraid a video doorbell wouldn’t survive. The Reolink 811a zooms in too much for my need.
This 360 camera might be a good solution for you. The other issue with the Reolink doorbell is it doesn't have a particularly wide vertical field of view.
@@TheHookUp only problem would be being able to see their face. I put a duo up there and it covers very well but with the sun and the angle, hard to make out faces too. My solution is 2 cameras but wife has opinions and wants it more simple. Eufy makes a dual camera that would work but not sure of the image quality. Plus it would be on a separate system which might not be a bad thing.
@Tazman1966 you could wall mount the fisheye camera.
Hi can you help, i have one alexa account with two groups each group represents a location so one home in UK and the other in Portugal. all the devices in uk are in the uk group and same for portugal right that all works. as both homes have lots of names the same in both groups so devices reacte in both homes yes i could put a UK or PT as a prefix but not practical, my idea was to somehow use a presence sensor or mobile tracker to locate me and only use the devices im the group i am good idea but i am not sure how to get it to work thanks for the help
Did the Hikvision have the same IR reflection issue with the other adjacent cameras turned off? Looks like it's coming from the IR emitters from the other cameras.
It was coming from the reflectors of the other emitters, the IR from the other cameras was off. So basically you'll need to make sure that any reflective surface is X distance away from the hikvision to avoid reflections on the cover.
Well done!
But I was missing ubiquiti cam 😘
AI360 has been sold out for almost 6 months. That, and it's only usable with UniFi protect, and if you use UniFi Protect it's the only option for a 360 camera, so a comparison review isn't really helpful.
@@TheHookUp You make a good point there ! thanks !
Does anyone of them can auto zoom-in on motion? Thanks!
This is so confusing when you think of what you would call a 360 degree action camera. These are all just 180 degree fisheye at the most, right? You're only seeing the front or bottom view. With a 360 degree action camera, you are able to look behind or above as well.
I think the reasoning is 180 degree horizontal FoV cameras are called "180 degree panoramic cameras", while these have 180 horizontal and 180 vertical, so they call them 360 degree.
Dual fisheye cctv is the real 360⁰.
How do you use BlueIris to block the cameras from your network?
I use my UniFi firewall to block the cameras from the internet. I then use a VPN combined with Blue Iris to view my cameras remotely.
How would those perform as a "doorbell" camera?
They would definitely be able to see packages and people from every angle. Might look a bit strange though.
@@TheHookUp Can one use all of the 360 view area to assign potential detection zones into in BlueIris?
I wonder why hikvision going backwards with compatability
What if you pointed them at the sky at night (for stargazing)? Which one would see more stars at night? I was thinking of putting one at the top of a 16' monopod to watch/record meteor showers.
I’ve heard of people doing that. I’d definitely suggest one with a protected lens like the Amcrest or Hikvision.
weird about the hikvision, even the very old one should at least (for the setting update) work in firefox, maybe the firmware on it was REALLY old, get a virtual machine with an old version of windows 10 or 7 with IE 11 and test it? and update the firmware while at it
I updated the firmware using the batch convert tool. Same browser incompatibility after.
Sadly they don't sell the reolink in germany...
Can you do a review on spy camera detectors like the Prepared Hero? with so many cheap spy cameras available their needs to be a way to combat this and protect the privacy of our families, most especially our children.
12:56 You really should avoid "fighting" in your own home, Rob. 😁
I also like that my whole 2nd floor was "Using Laptop".
Too Bad you did not test the Uniview model!
They have 12MP And 5MP
The last 2 or 3 UNV camera's I've tested have been wildly overpriced for their performance. I think they are leaning into the "NDAA Compliant" aspect and price gouging.
Audio
Do these record conversations?
Yes, most have built in microphones, which one are you looking at?
Why you didnt add Unifi Al360? Is it not a 360 camera?
It's been sold out for almost 6 months. That and it's only usable with UniFi protect, and if you use UniFi Protect it's the only option for a 360 camera, so a comparison review isn't really helpful.
@TheHookUp they now starting to limit how much you can buy, after 7 month i just go a notification for Viewport for unifi for the $199, is limited to 4 viewports only you can buy, and it was sold out in 5 hours, is crazy how people purchase them, and only they are going to $350+ on ebay and amazon...
The AI360 is pretty nice, had mine since they were pretty new to market & I like it.
The worst part is the price (and possibly the colour, if you wanted it to be stealthy).
@@TheHookUp Nope, you have other expensive cameras. The 360 is instock here in Australia where we get screwed by lack of stock. As for needing UniFi, yes but camera is able to stream RTSPS in 1920x1920 for use with other devices including the bloated and over-rated Blue-Iris.
The Dahua/Amcrest have the same dewarping features as the Reolink cameras in their software.
I feel like you are favoring Reolink a lot when you said about this feature, rather than comparing all the brands against each other.
Have you used DMSS or Hikconnect compared to the Reolink app? I’m not favoring Reolink at all, it’s just 10x better than the Dahua and Hik apps.
@@TheHookUp Yes, and the NVR interface and desktop app and web interface.
When you mentioned Reolink and dewarping features you did not do this with other cameras, giving the impression that Reolink cameras are the only cameras with 'great' dewarping features. All the other dearps came from Blue Iris.
I can assure you that Dahua and Hikvision have far more dewarping features. Including dewarping a recorded image for better clarity.
What I said was that as a standalone (using an SD card and no NVR) the Reolink was a significantly better option. I stand by that 100%.
@@TheHookUp So even though you favor Reolink better, do show dewarping features of the other brands!
👍👍
Shame you didn't include the unifi 360..😢
AI360 has been sold out for almost 6 months. That, and it's only usable with UniFi protect, and if you use UniFi Protect it's the only option for a 360 camera, so a comparison review isn't really helpful.

@@TheHookUp True but you did include the G4 Pro doorbell in that review so I just thought it was strange you didn't include Unifi in this. I have the AI 360 in my garage and its perfect for seeing my whole garage.
@@Sic789Chase I have one in my garage as well, works great but not cheap

I need one that DOESN'T need to hook up with an external server (outside my home wifi n/w)
All of these fit that bill. I personally use Blue Iris with a VPN to connect back to my home network and view my cameras, but the same trick works with the Reolink app. They do of course have the option to connect to an outside P2P server to make setup easier, but if you have the required knowledge you can set them up without using a remote server.
Thanks! I would use Blue Iris except we only use Linux machines. Because of security.@@TheHookUp
I feel like its so easy to have good looking cameras now days that they shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars just for decent quality
Isn't that 180°?? 360 means all around including above
Yes, that's exactly the case, this is 180 degree
a bit off topic but I don't get security cameras don't match the value of smartphones considering one could buy a an Android phone at $100 and still get a good camera or camera that is better than $100 IP cameras. Xiaomi is the worst offender as 3rd biggest smartphone manufacturer which has IP camera products where they can reuse the hardware
Also forgot to mention, I can control the light but they are only off for movies. Won’t be sitting in complete darkness for sports and when people are over. Occasionally game too but more my son than me
Who? Reolink? Let’s see…
That compatibility issue wasn't because of the camera it was because of the browser. Those nitwits North of Richmond have everyone believing HIK is the devil. Someone (Verkada) probably lobbied or made a campaign contribution 😉
