Just bought some to replace old Chinese ones that were dying. Glad I picked a good brand.

I’m replacing my Lorex system with Reolink. The quality for the price is unbelievable.

I just installed two Reolink doorbells, and they work perfectly.

I have four Reolink RLC-810A cameras around my house. They were easy to install and set up. I use a used 10/100 Cisco switch for power and data, and even with 4K, it works perfectly. I didn’t want to pay for a subscription, so I record locally on my home server. The Reolink system was an easy choice.

I agree with Reolink.

I’m a 20-year network guy (not 20 years old, haha), and I agree with others about Reolink. It’s affordable and works well. It also supports Alexa and Google, though I haven’t tried that feature.

I’ve used Reolink for about four years now, with 15 PoE cameras connected to their NVR. I couldn’t be happier.

What do you mean by ‘lockdown’?

It means preventing them from sending data outside your network.

I’ve been in networking for 10 years, and I also recommend Reolink. They’re reliable and inexpensive. I would love to use Ubiquiti cameras, but Reolink offers better quality for a much lower price.

This is the way to go.
Avoiding Chinese cameras because of spyware concerns leaves you with only NDAA-compliant options, which can be expensive. Instead, learn how to set up firewalls to block cameras from accessing the internet. Brands like Hikvision and Dahua make great cameras, and once they’re secured, you shouldn’t have to worry about spyware.

I agree. I’ve installed many Dahua cameras, and most brands are made in China anyway. Unless you’re installing for the government, NDAA isn’t necessary. Plus, I’m not sure why the Chinese would care about my cat’s activities!

It’s less about the cat and more about what vulnerabilities their hardware could open up on your network.

Yes, you’re right about that.

Maybe your cat is a star in China, and you should be making money as its manager!

I work for Dahua North America, and the only service that sends data out is our P2P, which uses AWS servers in Washington. The NDAA compliance issue is more about facial recognition technology being used by the Chinese government, not cybersecurity.

It’s called Luminys. We were acquired by Foxlink, and our new products will be NDAA-compliant.
