The Reolink RLC-810A and Reolink RLC-811A are both PoE cameras and if you are a newbie with PoE connections, you may not like the idea that you have to deal with cables. But again, a lot of users like PoE connections as they believe it is more reliable. First sensitivity, and a new setting specific to RLC-810A camera: Motion Zones. This allows you to cover the areas where you don’t want to receive alerts. As you can see above I draw on my neighbor’s house since I don’t need to know when they get in and out of their house. The only problem: It does not work for me. Maybe I didn’t use the function correctly… Another difference is that you can use this as a standalone camera since it supports 24/7 recording and motion recording directly to the SD card. Loader partition ― component in charge of loading the operating system, memory area 0x0 of size 0x40000. Oddly, by default, the 4K model was set to 2304×1296 for the resolution. To achieve this resolution it actually crops the shot, which in turn changes the overall field of view considerably, being much narrower than I had expected.

Kernel partition (file uImage.bin) ― contains the Linux kernel image (initrd), size 0x480000 starting at 0x28000. If you just receive your new camera and are not familiar with the camera, you can have a look at the below video about the unboxing, setup and installation of the camera. The biggest issue I have, which all of them do, is certain objects will trigger false positives. The clothes drying on the washing line in windy weather is a particularly bad trigger for all my cameras. Price and Alternatives This is really helpful to prevent false alarms and I think it worked ok, I didn’t have any false during the time I tested the camera.

For this review, I used some microSD cards as well as Blue Iris. I have not used a Reolink NVR so can’t comment on what the experience with that is like. The approach of “more instructions to execute, less complex” is the approach chosen for RISC architecture and allows more limited energy consumption (less complexity, less current used). This characteristic makes RISC and ARM the preferred architecture for most embedded devices. The primary selling point of the Reolink RLC-811A is its 8-megapixel video resolution (3840 x 2160, 25 frames/sec), 5x zoom, and powerful spotlights that provide colored night vision. The two models are the RLK8-510B4-A and RLK8-810B4-A. These are 8-channel NVRs with the 510B4 being designed for 5MP while the 810B4 can handle 4K. They both come with a 2TB HDD built-in.

The RLC-811A obviously edges the RLC-810A with its spotlights, zoom, and CMOS sensor, but aside from these both cameras can rival. If there's anything else people would like me to test beyond the standard image performance, motion detection, please let me know and I'll be sure to include it as part of this write-up. It also supports ONVIF and RTSP stream however at the moment you can only access the sub-stream since it doesn’t support streaming in H.265, and the sub-stream is only in 360p. In the interests of transparency, all applications are publicly visible and anyone can view the test results ― including the internal pictures of the product. Since I do not have a Reolink product, I preferred to consult and inspect the images already available in the FCC archive. FCCID allows one to explore all applications received by the FCC. Just type in Reolink to access the certifications from Reolink Innovation Limited, the company that owns the hardware produced. As we review the Reolink RLC-810A vs. Reolink RLC-811A, you will get a full understanding of both, and in the end, be able to make an informed decision.
