Available Options

Ever wished your home security system could keep up with your life? The REOLINK Smart 5MP 8CH Home Security Camera System is like having a vigilant guardian that never blinks. With its 5MP Super HD resolution, every detail is crystal clear—no more squinting at blurry footage wondering if that's a raccoon or a rogue ninja in your backyard.
This powerhouse comes with 4 rugged outdoor PoE IP cameras that aren't just tough; they're smart. They can tell the difference between a person, a car, and your overly curious cat, cutting down on those 'false alarm' moments that make you roll your eyes. And with a 2TB HDD ready to go (expandable up to a whopping 12TB), it's like having a DVR for your life, recording round the clock.
Think of the NVR as the brain of the operation, compatible with up to 12MP Reolink cameras—whether they're PoE or WiFi. It's like building your own security squad. Smooth 25fps live viewing means you're watching in real time, not some choppy slideshow. Plus, you can set up motion zones because, let's face it, you don't care about the squirrels in the far corner of your yard.
These cameras are built like tanks, shrugging off temperatures from a chilly 14°F to a scorching 131°F and laughing in the face of rain thanks to IP67 waterproofing. And when something's up, you'll know—whether it's a buzzer, email, or a push notification that makes your phone buzz like an angry bee. Remote access? Absolutely. The Reolink app turns your smart device into a command center, so you can check in from anywhere—because peace of mind shouldn't have a zip code.

I picked this up from the store for convenience, and wow, it really exceeded my expectations! As a stay-at-home dad, I wanted something reliable to watch over our home and little one, and this system delivers. The reality is it's like having an extra set of eyes that never sleep. The live view is smooth, no lag, and the ability to customize alerts means I only get notified when it matters. It integrates well with my smart devices, and the build feels durable—perfect for UK weather. Very happy with this purchase; it gives me peace of mind every day :)
- Pros: The setup was incredibly easy, just plug-and-play, and I was up and running in no time. The video quality is very sharp, making everything clear even from a distance, which is great for keeping an eye on my garden and my kid playing outside. I love that it can tell apart people, cars, and animals, so I'm not getting constant false alerts. The remote access through the app is seamless, letting me check in from anywhere, and the storage is huge right out of the box, with room to grow if needed.
- Cons: The initial cost seemed a bit high for an impulsive buy, but it's paying off. Sometimes the notifications can be a bit too frequent, but tweaking the motion zones helps a lot. The weather resistance is solid, but I haven't tested it in extreme cold yet, so we'll see how it holds up over a harsh winter.
