Just got two of these and the latest Windows client. Not only practical , but lots of fun watching the birds and other animals. Not perfect but for $250 a cam the quality is great. I do plan to get a few more so I can get all parts of my house and property.
Indeed! Has a few oddities still but great for the price with the tracking and lights. Great deterrence as I have had a couple people ask if I was controlling it in the evening following them. They love it.
Awesome review and just what I needed to find the bracket I was looking for. Was laughing hard when that dog was pissing at the front 🤣🤣
LOL when it happened... I was like oh yeah...this is staying in the video for sure.
@@digiblurDIY hahaha
Thank you.
Thanks for the review Travis. "OG"
Thee cameras are real nice. Mines came a little broken when turning it would make a clicking noise and lose position. I opened the camera there is 2 small stepper motors both driven by belts. The one the did the Pan the belt was really lose reolink though about this and they added a tensioner system to the motor the was adjustable with a turn of a screw. And now camera works perfectly. Also there is a foam thing on the mount makes it a lot quieter than allowing the vibration going to the wood of my mount
Nice save! Definitely weird I found the screw inside this one but an easy fix.
Thanks for the good review. I've had a 823A for a couple months. For the money it's a great value IMO. Of course it's not as good as those costing much more like Hikvision, Dahua which are good for commercial businsses, but for homeowners I think the 823A is fine. They do plan to improve the auto tracking, vertically. Of note mine often can't track vehicles if they drive by like 20mph+, the cars whiz by and the cam looses them. It just isn't capable of following fast. But I don't care about tracking vehicles anyway, just people near my property so I've turned off vehicle auto tracking. My street is like your's not far from the house. I think for streets further away or long driveways the 823A would track vehicles better. Reolink may improve faster speeds tracking with a future update.
Fully agree. I was surprised at this price point of how it works as I didn't expect much at all.
Hope they improve that AI tracking a bit, it really should be pushing rules of 1/3. That is keep the subject centered or lead them 1/3 of the frame when moving. Man OG, I was waiting to see you catch some big air on that! Like that Inaki Mazza!
They have been for looking for input and it did get better so I expect it to get better with further upgrades.
I have some clips by myself where I was rolling and catch air. He's just getting used to it and can't wait to go back.
I got the older RLC-423. I kinda wish I held off on it and waited for something like the RLC-823A.
I just bought one only to learn tracking does not work in patrol mode. Thos was purchased to cover a 270 degree area. Know it sits fixed unless a raccoon goes by.
Reolink has some straight down brackets today in stock for the 823A in USA, but they can sell out.
Thanks for this review. Can I turn off auto tracking for everything and have it just fixated on the driveway? I want to only manually turn the camera when i want to and not have it screw up the position from tracking.
Yes. That can be turned off or even tweaked based on things.
really nice review, thanks - was wondering it would be working ok with frigate NVR, but then it should not be with frigate AI detection enable as it would be confused by the AI tracking of reolink?
You could do both much like I have my doorbell with AI and Frigate on them but is didn't do frigate on this one given the PTZ so setting zones and masks is hard.
Under the micro sd card slot cover is there a rubber gasket on yours to keep it water tight so no waters gets inside etc or is it just metal and the 2 screws?
I would have to look as I don't remember. It is on the bottom of the camera though.
@@digiblurDIY if you could please as reolink support don’t know what I’m talking about and aren’t getting back to me :(
Thanks for your comprehensive test report and excellent camera clips (not sure it's legal in my country to film people walking by but it should be, if only to catch the non-pooper-scoopers). I'm currently bench testing a new 823A with latest firmware in my office. It's in standalone mode using the SD card and Reolink's Mac client and I have one big complaint: when viewing the 4K stream, the PTZ controls are very laggy. It takes at least 3 seconds for the video to catch up with a command (although the camera moves into position after just 1 second). If I lower the main stream resolution the PTZ works fine. Not sure what is causing the 4K lag: it's not a bandwidth problem as I have gigabit fibre with headroom to spare; and other Mac users have told me they don't suffer any 4K lag via the NVR so maybe it's too much processing/buffering for a standalone to handle. If I view the 4K stream in SecuritySpy (Mac equivalent of Blue Iris), the lag is reduced to 1 second so I guess there's a Reolink software issue somewhere.
No expectation of privacy when the person or action is viewable from the public road here. Pretty simple rules on that.
Haven't had an issues with lag on it even with Blue Iris. Is the cpu of the client not able to keep up?
@@digiblurDIY The client CPU - an iMac 5K with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 40GB RAM and 4TB SSD HD - comfortably handles H265 4K streams from other sources - including 4K streams from the 823A when viewed in a different client.
Dumb question - would using SD card or local storage be reason you are experiencing lag? Would NVR be faster than SD/Micro SD?
I'm also confused it sounds like you are using both methods above? I thought it's either NVR or MicroSD for storage.
@@j0404t NVR would be faster than SD card but not relevant unless recording. Interaction with the PTZ controls is done via the live stream (in fact the PTZ controls don't work on recorded video). I use only SD card but it is possible to use both at the same time. Some people like to use the NVR for continuous recording while also recording only motion events to the SD card.
Another question - do you know if it's possible to restrict where to track? I really like the spot light tracking my movement on MY property, but i don't want it to point at my neighbors walking on their property, which is really close to my house.
Good question. Let me dig through those settings. If not they should add that!
@@digiblurDIY Thanks! If i could restrict it only track movements between my driveway and porch, that would be awesome!
very good and practical question. Any news please?
Can you tell me if there is a later firmware version than 3.1.0.804 that was release on January 20th? I had some of the same tracking issues, and for the most part was fixed with the firmware update. However, there is still an issue with the vertical tracking. The camera does not track down like it should. I was told by their online support people that the Engineers were working on a fix for that. Do you have the same issues or is there another firmware update I am not aware of? Also, your light tracking works much better than mine. My light does not come on until you are about 15 to 20 feet away.
That sounds like the one I have, 20th or 22nd? Something like that. The latest that is on their public website.
Is this camera ONVIF protocol, i have £20 indoor reolink camera connects the my Hikvision DVR but this one is not, doesnt even appears on dvrs ip camera list, it's a bit disappointing really
It is kinda sorta onvif. Reolink has some screwy codecs that don't work well with other NVRs at times.
Hi can tracking be triggered - only when moving person is say within a designated 'guarded area'?
You can setup zones to not track but I'm not sure how that works out with on the PTZ but if you use a guard point I could see it working as you always back to the same spot.
What is the recording method . DVR, NVR ,PC what systems is it compatible with ?
So many. NVR, PC and or internal SD card
Is there a way to remove the squeaky sound when the camera turns?
You would have to do an external mic as I am surprised they did an internal one. Most PTZ cameras don't have mics for this reason.
G'day, I just got one of these hooked into an NVR, it is Camera #13. I'm still trying to sort out how to use all of the features. I have no tracking yet and might have to do an software update. I'm on a corner block and can make out a main road about 800 to 1000m away with full optical and digital zoom. I have lots of foot traffic day and night so I'm keen to see the auto track working.
The duel lens will be next but I want an 8MP (duel lens) unit for my front yard.
I do believe you have to turn that on in the detection section. And definitely update to the latest as it is worth it.
Can you hear that motor whine outside or just thru the mic? How loud? Is it stealthy?
Over outside ambient noise it is hard to hear unless you are close to it.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks. So if I stand below it and it's mounted 9 feet up on a wall, I would notice the whine?
@@krelb Yes
can you possibly tell me how it works plugged into a hikvision nvr? eg after onvif is enabled does it still work and power up etc if you have any answers it would be great as no one can tell me anywhere
I can see if it works. I know the trackmix one does so this one should work.
@@digiblurDIY THAT WOULD BE AMAZING :) NO ONE ON THE PLANET HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME. THANKS SO MUCH. REGARDS, MICHAEL
Seems to be fine, pulls in the 4K video and the PTZ controls work.
@@digiblurDIY awesome thanks can you access the reolink ptz gui (for minor adjustments) via the virtual link from the hikvision nvr ? And if so how do I set it when my one arrives tomorrow ?
Nevermind have tested it now that it arrived you cant access from the camera management section of the nvr however set the camera to an ip range on the nvr eg 192.168.254.155 set to onvif and usercredentials and nvr will connect the stream. then to get to the gui and for fine tuning while still connected to nvr connect you laptop to the poe switch on the nvr set laptop for example to 192.168.254.200 so its on the same subnet and then punch the ip address in to a browser of the reelink camera eg 192.168.254.155 and connected etc :) thanks again digiblurDIY
P.S. hope the above info help anyone looking to but it and connect it to hikvision nvr. the hikvision nvr works great so far can call the ptz to look at particular preset locations based on line crossings from other camera etcs. Note camera has no WDR so detail in shadows little hard but some picture tweaks work to help this etc (mainly at night) but still a good picture and decent value especially compared to 2.5 the cost for a hikvision that has no floodlights and no human detection mode.
I can definitely see this as a deterent. People might think there is someone behind the camera currently watching
Yep. My neighbors thought this very thing exactly when they saw it moving around.
Agree - The focus is slow, My FLC-823A has h.264 option but at 640x320 resolution only - it is useless. Very limited image/video tuning just the basic contrast, sharpness saturation, no color balance, and no WDR settings to boost shadow details. Lens flare is horrible.
Agree with everything, but the lens flare bothers me the most because 1) even though it is not pointed at my porch light, the lens still produces glare from it, and 2): when a car drives by at night the glare is terrible.
Hi nice video... is this camera reolink RLC-823A can works with SWANN NVR?
Possibly if the Swann supports RTSP/ONVIF
Hi! There i was watching you video and one thinks catch up about you say can I have this camera and use any record box means I have that Zxtech 4K CCTV System - 6 x IP PoE Cameras Motorised Lens Face Detection Outdoor Sony Starvis Enhanced Night, so if can knows that PTZ camera it’s gonna working with my system. Thanks wait for your reply.
If it supports h265 and onvif it might work.
Can you show footage of license plate reading with zooming in? thanks
Not going to be a good license plate reader due to the lack of IR/lens controls. This is what you are looking for - ruclips.net/video/Gpp4uHJJex0/видео.html
Your tracking is Soo smooth! Mine goes into slow motion very choppy, sound cuts out alot when it's in motion. Any idea what it could be?
What are you recording on? Using the latest firmware?
@@digiblurDIY hey! Using the same camera, recording on the reolink NVR. Poe connection. I just rewatched the videos and when I set the quality to fluent, only then it acts properly. I can't watch it on high quality. I have 1.5gb internet. Firmware i did not check yet!
If you internet isn't capable then even if you are home on your network does it stutter?
Also it might require a poe+ connection that the NVR might have issues providing.
@@digiblurDIY I'm trying this from home. On my internet connection which is decent. Download speeds on my pixel 6 pro is about 500 to 600 Mbps, upload 80 to 100 Mbps. It works fine only if I view the recording in Low resolution. It's a shame. What's the point of having a 4k camera and watching video at like 720p. A little sadness happening here.
Is it noticeable while moving? Like, can people hear the motor?
The light is the noticeable part after you stay in the spotlight of things.
My spotlight comes on but the motion tracking does not respond. I have asked my rep at REOLINK about this matter and my answer was firmware. I told them that I had my NVR connected to my network and does not track anyone unless I do so manually. I have this in front of my house as another deterrent for those that approach my yard and front door. Please advise if you guys knows anything about this issue please reply. I bought this product with hopes of resealing these systems to my customers. It’s hard if I can’t demonstrate it to my potential customers. Please help.
Did you update to the latest version on the website and turn on the tracking?
@@digiblurDIY yes I keep my NVR connected to my network. I recently updated the NVR firmware and I followed the instructions to update the camera as well.
¿Qué modelo con funciones semejantes puedo instalar para mi auto en el parking comunitario? Gracias
They do make some LTE cameras.
Is it possible to connect to Home Assistant?
Yes it is rtsp.
@@digiblurDIY Wonderful! Tks!
Apologies that this is not on topic. What should I use to control the LED strips on my boat? They are single color, but pull about 6 amps that are controlled manually at the moment. I'm looking for a module to control them via wired connection directly to a raspberry pi. I intend to build out a touchscreen pi controller for my boat. Thank you for the videos
Probably do something simple like a smart relay via MQTT. Sonoff SV, Shelly1, etc.
The big problem with this camera is the pan, its not smooth
the 2 problems i had with it was that if you set point a. then lets say point b is 45 degree to the right. and want it to patrol that. then it goes to a. then counter clock all the way around to b. never got it to go right. any left, all the way around.
and the 2 thing is that if it is at a. then you want it to zoom in on b. then it goes from a. zoom in so that the picture goes out of focus. then move all the way around to b , then it gets into focus again. ( if that makes any sence )
Shame they didn't put it on a stepper motor.
That's what they looked like when I opened it.
@@digiblurDIY Sorry. I meant a servo motor or a brushless DC motor so there's speed control. That seems to just be a universal DC motor going DOL.
@@TonyRule looks like steppers to me.
OK OK! I am writing this at the 5:55 point Did you just say it works (ok) with BI?? P L E A S E do video on how you have it set up PLEASE :) I have never had much luck with Reolink and BI I actually have returned 3 of them I think it was because they sucked so bad w/ BI ** to be fair since I am lazy and have no desire to pull cable all my cameras are wifi so that may/may not have a lot to do with it. Anyway great video Thanks! *edit got so excited when you said "it works" I forgot an important point I am wondering about will the PTZ work in BI? Well dam you just said it does. LOL
Yup. I even have a segment showing it working. No special config as it pulls in.
Algorithm.
Perspicacious
That thing needs an attached light activated Nerf gun.
Yes! High powered water nozzle would work too!
The tracking is not smart at all. Instead of it jerking should estimate the speed of the object moving and match its speed when it tracks. It should also zoom into the face at least once to get an id.
You might be looking for the trackmix then ruclips.net/video/3f6F_MXaI3Q/видео.html
CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT GOOD. ALOT OF TIMES YOU CANT GET A HOLD OF ANYONE!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE TESTED THIS MORE AN WORKED OUT THE BUGS BEFORE RELEASING IT ESPECIALLY WITH THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! OPERATING HOURS ARE HORRIBLE.
MAKES too much noise while tracking. Very annoying.
If you are close to it I could see that. I would try the Trackmix one as it is pretty quiet.
@@digiblurDIY During playback its very noisy. But yes the Trackmux is a much more refined camera.
Was für ein Schrott!
Thanks!! So awesome!
It's not polite 2 film the public
Welcome to Earth.
Nur bla bla bla.... keine Ahnung von der Kamera
Coooyon?
