This camera boasts Ultra HD 4K resolution, offering 1.6X clarity over 5MP and 4X over 1080p, ensuring every detail is captured perfectly in live streaming and playback. Enhance your security with advanced features including smart human/vehicle/pet detection (pet detection requires latest firmware and is in beta, detecting only cats and dogs) to minimize false alerts, and audio recording for comprehensive monitoring. Choose from multiple recording options: continuous 24/7 recording, motion-triggered recording, or scheduled recording, with storage available on a microSD card (up to 512GB, not included), Reolink NVR, or FTP server. Receive real-time motion alerts via push notifications or emails, allowing you to view LiveView, review critical moments, and manage your system from anywhere using the Reolink App or Client. Installation is simplified with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, enabling simultaneous video transmission and power supply through a single network cable for a reliable plug-and-play connection.
This Reolink 4K PoE CCTV Security Camera is designed for homeowners and small businesses seeking high-definition surveillance with advanced detection capabilities. Its key benefit is the Ultra HD 4K resolution, providing exceptional clarity for detailed monitoring, coupled with smart detection to reduce false alarms. A potential caveat is that advanced pet detection is in beta and currently only supports cats and dogs.

FAQs
What is the maximum storage capacity for the microSD card?
The camera supports microSD cards up to 512GB.
Does the camera support audio recording?
Yes, the Reolink 4K PoE CCTV Security Camera is equipped with audio recording capabilities.
How is the camera powered?
The camera uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, meaning it receives power and transmits data through a single Ethernet cable connected to a PoE-compatible network device.
Can I use this camera without an NVR?
Yes, you can use the camera standalone with a microSD card for local storage or connect it to a network for remote access via the Reolink App or Client.
What is the difference between 4K and 1080p resolution?
4K resolution offers significantly more detail than 1080p. It has 4 times the pixels, providing a much clearer and sharper image, allowing for better identification of objects and individuals.
How does the smart detection work?
Smart detection analyzes video feeds to differentiate between humans, vehicles, and pets (beta). This helps reduce false alarms caused by non-relevant motion, such as swaying trees or changing light conditions.
Is the microSD card included with the camera?
No, the microSD card is not included with the camera and must be purchased separately if you wish to use it for local storage.
Troubleshooting
Camera is not connecting to the network.
Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends. Ensure your network switch or NVR is functioning and providing PoE power. Try a different Ethernet cable or port.
No video feed or intermittent connection.
Check the Ethernet cable for damage. Restart the camera and your network equipment. Ensure the camera's IP address is not conflicting with other devices on the network.
Motion alerts are too frequent or not triggering.
Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the Reolink App or Client. Refine the motion detection zones to exclude irrelevant areas. Ensure firmware is updated for optimized detection algorithms.
Cannot access camera remotely.
Verify your internet connection is stable. Check that remote access is enabled in the camera settings. Ensure the Reolink app/client is updated and logged in correctly. Check router settings for any port forwarding issues if not using P2P.
Pet detection is not working.
Ensure the camera's firmware is updated to the latest version that supports pet detection. Confirm that you are trying to detect cats or dogs, as these are the only supported animals in the beta. Check that pet detection is enabled in the detection settings.
