I installed a 4 camera Reolink system into my house a couple of years ago now and have had zero issues with it.
I'd recommend the brand without hesitation, simple to setup, control and maintain.

Totally agree with this having the same system. We have 5 poe cameras, a doorbell, and a couple of cameras on wifi, and they all integrate with the phone and pc apps without issue.

Yep agree, I have 6 Reolink poe cameras on my house. Never had an issue in 4 years.

4thed.

4 POE Cameras plus doorbell and recorder - works fabulously. Ever so useful too.

Have two NVR's - one Reolink, the other Hikvision.

Hikvision high end cameras, but less accessed cameras.

Reolink for the lower end cameras, but usually accessed cameras - e.g. alerting if someone walks down the driveway, or approaches the door.

Hikvision overlaps all round the house so not reliant on the reolink. Reolink is more user friendy for alerts and accessing live stream so the missus likes it more.

Thanks all - looks like I need to be seriously looking at Reolink...

Are there any specific Reolink camera models that are more popular than others?

I'm set on getting the Reolink POE doorbell (to add to Home Assistant) plus 2 or 3 cameras. Considering the RLC-520A (for the wide field of view) and/or the RLC-833A (for the switchable nightvision).
