REOLINK 4K PoE NVR 8 Channel PoE NVR, Pre-Installed 2TB (Up to 12TB) Hard Drive 4K/5MP/4MP HD 24/7 Video Surveillance Home Security Camera System Recorder for Reolink IP Cameras, RLN8-410

For the most part, this is an excellent NVR device. Just make sure you give it a thorough test run before the 30-day return period expires. In my RLN8-II, I had a faulty main board. I had to return the 410 NVR, but it does a good job for the price (plug). Most people don't want to spend a lot of time learning technical details about networks and IP cameras, so they play) on the hardware and software side of things. If your NVR does not have a built-in fan, I strongly advise you to purchase an electronics fan (similar to the ones that attach to a PC cpu) to help vent the heat from the metal housing of the NVR. This NVR's main board has a built-in two-pin port for powering your fan; just make sure you get the right male connector. Also, keep in mind that this Reolink NVR (model RLN8-A) is a Reolink NVR (model RLN8-A) and not a Reolink NVR Most third-party (ONVIF compliant) cameras are compatible with the 410. Simply enter "12345" (not "123456") as the password, rather than the password for the 3rd-party NVR to which the cameras were originally connected. Go to the NVR's menu screen and select "IP Channel" from the drop-down menu. If the "Status" for the camera you're trying to connect says "INVALID PWD," move your mouse over the columns until you see "Password" and enter the password for that camera, which is "12345. " That's the end of the story! The RLN8- is a Reolink model. All IP POE 3MP Swann, Qcam, and 410 have been confirmed by me to work. ONVIF-compliant Amcrest cameras (which include the majority, if not all, of the three brands). br>br>Best of luck!.

After conducting extensive research, I determined that Reolink offered the best combination of features for my needs. I do wish, however, that I could give three stars. Because there are so many negative aspects, I gave it a five-star rating: * Utterly Awful Fan - br>br>CONSbr>* Utterly Awful Fan - br>br>CONSbr>* Utterly Awful Fan - b Noctua NF-100 should be used instead. A4x10 FLX, A4x10 FLX, A4x10 FLX, In just 3 minutes, you'll have your system up and running. The one that comes with it is fantastic. A high-pitched sound can be heard from two rooms away. It's possible that a less expensive fan will suffice, but why risk it? br>* No Streaming in the Browser - Although it claims to work in a browser, it only supports Internet Explorer, which we all know isn't enough. Reolink emailed me to confirm this. br>* HDMI interface built-in is EH - I don't use it, but I imagine it'd be a pain if you weren't using it to show the cameras. For example, the included mouse (which is good) connects via USB, but you can't connect a keyboard (which is strange). This makes entering nearly any password a chore. It's a lot easier to use the apps over the network. br>br>PROSbr>* Excellent desktop app - I had no issues downloading clips that other reviewers had complained about. br>* Android app is excellent - Fortunately, you can point it to any port you want, so the NVR can run on a port other than 80 if you want. br>* Motion detection that is automatic - I haven't used the alerts or push notifications yet, but they appear to work. br>* Detection of plug-and-play devices - If you don't trust the 'cloud' options, this is a decent NVR if you know what you're getting. br>br>If you don't trust the 'cloud' options, this is a decent NVR if you know what you're getting.

Q was already in my possession. Until the NVR went out, I had POE cameras installed at my home. So, instead of buying a brand new expensive system, I ordered this Reolink NVR to see if my existing cameras would work with it. They didn't, but I did have one other camera on my network that this Reolink NVR picked up. As a result, rather than connecting my Q-, I'm going to connect my Q- Instead of connecting the cameras directly to the Reolink NVR, I used a POE switch and all of the cameras came up. I can even access my cameras from my home office using a browser. br>br>So, yes, Reolink is correct, my Q-series cameras can be accessed through a browser. br>br> See cameras did not work with the Reolink NVR when connected directly, but if you have a POE switch on your network and your new Reolink is on the same network, you can use your existing POE cameras. br>br>Here's how I'm connected. br>Gateway (Router) is a term used to describe a computer network that connects two or more computers together. Connect to a Netgear switch via an uplink TP-Link Uplink POE Switch with Link Reolink is connected to a Netgear switch directly. POE cameras that are directly connected to TP-Link can be seen here.

I read in other reviews that the cooling fan in this unit is extremely loud, so I ordered the NF- Other reviewers suggested using a 4x10FLX fan in conjunction with this unit. So, the unit arrived today, and when I removed the cover, I discovered that there was no fan installed at all. On the CPUs, the heat sinks are enormous. Due to all of the previous noise complaints, I assume they are cutting corners and doing this instead of installing a quality fan. So, as previously stated, I proceeded to install the suggested fan. It wasn't difficult, but it was a little difficult because there were no instructions. It was simple to set up. Mounting the new fan to the case was a breeze thanks to the rubber pull through mounts that came with it. Because the case only has two holes, the fan can only be mounted in two places. Rubber isolators are on every corner of the fan body, so this isn't a problem. It had a good enough grip on the wall. br>br>At this point, the wiring is in order. Once I figured out where to plug it in on the board, it was a breeze. A three-pin connector is included with the fan. Only two pins are available on the board. Thankfully, the fan's box included a 3 pin to 2 pin adapter. I connected everything, turned on the unit, and the fan began to run strong, smooth, and quietly. It was dead silent with a ton of air blowing out the side of the case when I tried it again after the cover was on. This should keep the unit alive for a longer period of time. I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary, but I do know that electronics like to keep cool.
