E1 Zoom

I have a Reolink E1 Zoom and like it. I used to have a Wyze, but Reolink has been better overall. Here's a video from the camera on my QT tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcCyE0Ol7Ug. The only issue is that during the day I need coral lenses (attached by a tape), but at night IR mode reflects o

I bought wireless Reolink cameras (E1 Zoom, TrackFlex), as it'd be cost prohibitive to drag PoE. It's a bloody mess with Frigate. There are all sorts of encoding issues and I'm having to do software re-encoding for it to work. Also, the Frigate-based autotrack doesn't work. The cameras themselves ar

Night vision and detection is great. We use one of them as a nursery cam and it catches every little movement of our 7 month old (sensitivity turned all the way up on purpose). Here is a list of issues we had with Eufy: Constant and by constant I really mean constant disconnections when trying to ke

Reolink RLC-811A has 5x optical zoom and adjustable/auto focus at true 4k. You are out of any "bird camera" territory. Birdfy and Birdbuddy cameras have a purposely close focus range.

The typical recommended brand for privacy focused cameras is Reolink. They have a number of WiFi cameras. I recently got a few E1 Zooms to use with Frigate (over RTSP) and they work pretty well. I've seen some complaints about poor RTSP performance for some models, forcing you to use HTTP streams in

Reolink and Frigate have been nightmares for me. The Reolink cameras seem to have broken frame sequencing, so I have to transcode my streams. I have them working, but only through a lot of grief (and my E1 Zooms only operate at 1440p). My NVR is running on a GMKtec M3 Ultra (Intel Core i7-12700H wit

Fair enough. Maybe reolink E1 zoom, the 5 MP version has ONVIF/RTSP or RLC-810WA if you want higher resolution. Don't expect much from the performance at night, IR models from reolink do not perform that well at night (lots of ghosting compared to what you have) but they are excellent at day. The CX
