Good

Love the Reolink NVR system. Adding cameras is easy and customer support is always there for you. This camera has a little problem with over exposure (facing a glass door with sunlight) but otherwise clear and easy install.

Excellent value for the money, especially if you buy the 2-pack. Setup was relatively painless - and this was incorporating a switch, router AP, and a wireless bridge! I've contacted technical support a few times with questions and responses are very fast and accurate. I highly recommend these cameras!

DEKCO 2K WiFi Surveillance Security CameraMost recent update: DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL. I have ordered many and they all have problems. However, the cameras, when working properly, are great. But you can't get them anymore. So... look on Amazon for the "5MP" version which is just barely different but not really. It's nearly the same and it works perfectly. I just ordered 4 more for my mother's house and they all work flawlessly, albeit they all struggle with connecting to Apple phones. The rest of this review was written BEFORE I bought the 5MP versions so keep that in mind. The following review is for the version you're seeing here on this page.Update: So the other cameras I bought that I hadn't installed yet all failed. All of them got stuck at the initial setup stage with just a blinking green light (which is not defined in the user manual). So I had to send all the cameras back except the one I was already using which still works. I also looked in the Questions and Answers area on Amazon on this product and I found out that I'm not the only one going through this. So apparently this is version 2 of their product which is a complete bust. Version 1 worked great. You can't buy version 1 anymore. So... I don't recommend you buy this product anymore. I've taken it down from a 4 star to a 1 star.Here is my original review:This review is for the DEKCO 2K WiFi Surveillance Security CameraSo let me just start by listing off all the things wrong with it. I'll get that out of the way first.1. The screws they give you are really cheap. It's easy to break them. Get better screws and you won't have to drill your holes first.2. The motor mechanism that turns left/right/up/down will burn out eventually. Try not to use it too much. It's not a video game. If it moves too much because it's tracking motion, it will eventually run out. And when looking down, it won't be able to look back up unless you go out there and turn it up yourself.3. The setup process can be a bit finicky sometimes. I've had to go through the exact same setup process four times until it finally took.4. The quality and volume of the microphone and speaker leaves a lot to be desired.5. The cloud option isn't very useful.6. There is no zoom feature. But you can "pinch" to zoom on your phone but that only lets you zoom in on the image on your phone. The camera, itself, doesn't actually zoom.7. Even with a porch light, when pitch black outside, the night vision only works to about 10-15 feet at best.I want to say that I really do like this camera. I like it so much that I went from purchasing 1 to purchasing 4 total (so far). I really wish it offered "starlight" technology instead of relying on the red lights because red lights attract bugs and thus sets off the motion detection all the time.I HIGHLY recommend getting a 2 or 3 year protection plan. After all, this device is made in China.I recently installed another one of these and it will be a little exposed to the weather. So we'll see how that goes. (edit: has gone very well)

Fantastic product recommended

The media could not be loaded. I tried a blink outdoor wifi camera in our sump well but as soon as the steel cover dropped, so did the signal. Our house was strangely built on a spring, and without a sump pump the crawlspace fills like a swimming pool in a few days. The rain gutters and footer french drain all go in this deep, dark well.Sump pumps only lasted a few months with constant on and off cycles, even with a timer, so I have this great camera with a POE net switch ($25 or so) setup outside so I can remotely check the level and start my pump when there are two feet of water in the sump. It can evacuate 700 gallons a day when it rains.The camera was easy to install with the turret screwed on a wood board. It has great sound, so I can hear when the pump is almost running dry and stop it. The app is also very easy to use, I can check on things a few times a day when we are half a country away in Iowa. The sump itself is in Washington State. I hope this keeps working in the humidity and weather, so far so great.

Impossible to install microSD card. The screws covering the microSD card slot are non-standard and can’t be removed. The screws appear to be Philips-head but are too shallow for a standard Philips screwdriver. The slots do not extend to the edge of screw head, so a slotted screwdriver does not work. It appears the screws were installed with a screw gun and on impossible to turn with normal force. The shallow screw head slots don’t allow a good grip. I have a dozen small screw drivers used for all kind of electronics and none of them fit the shallow slots in these Reolink screws.

Ive had 6 of these installed for about a year now with zero failures. For the price they are hard to beat
