Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic View, Motion Track, F1.6 Color Night Vision, Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, 2 Way Talk, Supports 24/7 Recording

I just got this to replace the same thing I had in a wireless version, since I have decided to go POE and run ethernet to each point rather than relying on wireless and power bricks. I like that all I had to do was remove the old one from the mount, as they use the same mount, so I had just one screw to remove and tighten again on the new camera to get it up and running. Wide angle is great, although in certain lighting situations you can see the line between the two cameras, but mostly you don't see it in the course of normal daily use. Great clarity, and works well at night also since my sidewalk is only about 25 or so feet from the garage this is mounted on. Spotlight at least makes people aware that they're monitored at night. The wireless version of this would drop randomly despite having as strong a signal as possible, whether on my own mesh or on the Reolink's own 2.4GHZ. Once I moved to POE and replaced the wireless version of this with the POE version, not a single drop. Works well.

A couple years ago, I purchased the Reolink DVR with 4 cameras, and had them mounted on the 4 corners of my home. 2 in the front yard facing each other so I can see the whole area, and 2 in the back yard facing each other. I've always wanted better side yard visibility since I've had a few instances now of people crossing through my sideyard and even contruction people working for a neighbor who were in my side yard. So, I bought this on sale (thank you Amazon and Reolink) to cover the back yard, and repointed the ones on the corners to see the side yard. You can see in the screenshot above, I can now see all of my yard and have a great view of the backyard. The clarity is nice. I also like the floodlight feature on it as well as the 2 way communications available. The siren COULD be louder, but I won't be using that much (hopefully). As I've mentioned in previous reveiws, I love that it's a POE camera since it won't need batteries and can't be jammed by a FlipperZero or other wireless jamming device. It can't be disabled without you first having been recorded. That being said, I would recommend pairing it with the DVR for that purpose. It can take up to 256GB of memory in an SD card, but that can be removed. If paired with a DVR indoors, they can take the camera or remove the card, but they're still recorded securely in your home! Also, if you're like me and have your network equipment on a battery backup, cutting power to your home won't kill this camera. It will run on the juice being supplied across the network! Sweet! If you're not interested in that, can't get network cables to the location you plan to mount it, or just prefer wireless still, then go for the wifi version of this camera. I'm still impressed with the rest of the features enough to suggest it! For the techies out there like me, it plays nicely with all the IOT services. Apple Homekit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and (my favorite) HomeAssistant all play well with it! In Alexa and HomeAssistant (the two I've tested the most with it) even the options to send voice back to it, trigger the siren, and trigger the flood light are all available! I'm already testing automations in HomeAssistant now! For the price, this is a great camera. My only complaint is a nit-picky one, and that is that in the DVR dashboard it comes across a bit small because it's panoramic. I hope they add layouts in the DVR to accomodate these later! Until then, I'm still satisfied. It's been worth every buck!

This is a great camera. First of all you don’t need a subscription like other brands because you’re recording locally and not the cloud. The camera works perfectly for I needed it for and that’s for 24/7 security, the motion detection is really good and can detect pretty far, and the sensitivity can be adjusted on the nvr or app. Setup was simple if you do it on the NVR. The brightness of the light is brighter than I expected.

This is a great, high definition camera sporting a 180 degree field of view with minimal distortion. It uses the same mounting bracket as the Duo 2 and can be dropped into an existing setup easily, **BUT** vertically, the FOV is not as tall as the Duo 2. For my application, I am still able to see everything I need to, but this is an important difference to note. It's maybe 5 fewer degrees vertically. Horizontally, you can still see an impressive 180 degrees with only minor distortion in the center of the picture from stitching the two camera feeds together. This camera easily connects to AgentDVR, and AgentDVR is even able to use data from the camera's AI motion and object detection to tag videos (with keywords including "detected", "vehicle", "people", "animal") or trigger recordings. FTP recording also works very well, although I had trouble with Auto/PASV transport and had to set it to Port to get it to work properly. This camera performs extremely well during the day. It's able to read the license plate of a moving vehicle from about 50 feet away with almost perfect clarity. At ~25mph the vehicle almost looks like it's not moving. At night, performance is still impressive, you can read the license plate of a stationary vehicle but a moving vehicle will only be a blur. You can still make out a good amount of detail if you adjust the image settings, but there's only so much you can do for night surveillance. I have had some problems getting the camera to switch between day mode and night color mode. The street outside my house has LED street lights, which I guess is bright enough to confuse the light sensor. Weirdly, though, the camera has no problem switching from day to black-and-white (infrared) night mode... I've tried editing the manual picture settings for color night mode, and it's definitely not kicking in; only changing the picture settings for day mode affects it. It's a bummer because the settings that maximize clarity in my situation are a LOT different for day and night mode. The reason this review is for four stars instead of five is a mix of the reduced vertical field of view and the weirdness switching to night mode. I wish it was made clearer that the field of view is reduced (even just a screenshot showing what the field of view actually is, not necessarily directly comparing the two), and not being able to adjust the color night mode is annoying. Despite these negatives, it is still a fantastic camera with amazing picture quality, and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

Love theses cameras, thank you

I was a bit concerned at first when an internet connection and my phone were required for initialization. This camera comes locked down at first, you need to go to server settings and enable http for config and updates via browser and enable rtsp/onvif for use with a 3rd party security app like Blue Iris 6. Image stitching looks great. Night vision is okay but my application is in a dark rural environment with no artificial light that is normally found in cities. I don't let my security cameras access the internet. They are on a seperate network so I'm glad these cameras function in my network environment.

I purchased three of these REOLINK Duo 3 cameras. For my use case, they have proven to be perfect. They are clear and vibrant during the day and at night the image satisfies my expectations. I did have an issue with one of the cameras when the IR light failed - though it only reduced visibility marginally as IR from other cameras had overlap. I am thoroughly impressed with Reolink's customer service and warranty procedure. The online customer service agent was thorough and genuinely wanted to help. Shout out to Frank (Australia) who was proactive in ensuring my claim was processed quickly. Reolink dispatched a replacement the same day I posted the faulty unit back to them. I found it to be a very positive returns experience. In total I have seven Reolink cameras with a need to add another four cameras. I won't hesitate to order from Reolink again. I hope others find my review helpful.

Camera is exactly as stated. Works great
