Key documented points
3840 × 2160 8MP video at up to 15 fps; 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi with microSD storage up to 512 GB and no hub required; PIR plus person, vehicle and animal detection; rechargeable 21.6 Wh battery

Strengths

Reasons to shortlist it

  • 3840 × 2160 8MP video at up to 15 fps
  • 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi with microSD storage up to 512 GB and no hub required
  • PIR plus person, vehicle and animal detection; rechargeable 21.6 Wh battery

These are documented characteristics, not a claim of hands-on performance testing.

Compromise

Who should look elsewhere?

Solar charging requires a compatible Reolink panel and battery life varies with activity, settings and temperature. Reolink Cloud availability varies by country.

If that trade-off conflicts with your priorities, compare an alternative instead of forcing a fit.

Evidence freshness

A date should tell you what was actually checked.

This product has deeper specification research. Australian Product Guide separates substantive review from retailer, source, image and price checks rather than collapsing them into one artificial date.

How APG assesses this product

Evidence, suitability and retailer context in one place

APG applies the same evidence, suitability, retailer and imagery checks across its maintained product catalogue. Where APG has a useful classification but not a manufacturer-verified fact, that distinction stays visible.
