I have found that with the previous version (v3.0.0.124_20112601) there is much less lost frame and no connectivity problem. If the phone doesn't respond, please tap Input UID/IP and then manually type in the UID (16-digit characters under the QR code of the camera). Then tap Next. Reolink products have always been famous for exceptional picture & video quality, and the company did not fail with the RLC-820A. It records high-definition footage and captures the tiniest details day and night. Reolink RLC-820A 4K PoE Camera Review Summary It’s 123w total, capable of up to 30w per port, so should be more than adequate to power these. Set Up: All these additional elements have made the RLC-520A a bit taller than the RLC-520, but, at its 4.13 x 3.74 inches (10.5 x 9.5 cm), it won’t really matter that much, especially since it will most likely end up being mounted outdoors. I am not entirely sure whether the extra-ruggedness was truly needed, but it’s definitely a welcomed addition. The IP66 rating is still there, so the camera will survive in case it’s targeted by powerful jets of water (powerful storms) and it’s also dust-proof. I doubt that you can put the RLC-520A on a pole, so it’s far more protected against lightning strikes than other devices, but I would still take all the necessary precautions to make sure your camera will survive a lightning storm (add some surge protectors).

At the moment I will still tweak it, but not fully as that will be done when the scaffolding comes down. You can replay saved videos to find vital information and filter them by detection modes. Plus, conveniently control the timeline and locate the parts you want to see. Motion Zone

Neither the RLC-820A nor the RLC-810A came with a psu, so keep this in mind. There looks to be a provision for powering them via mains, but it’s not included. I would assume anyone buying these would want POE anyway, but just in case! The 510WA did come with a psu, and will not work with POE (this didn’t bother me, I wanted wireless in this instance). Unsurprisingly, the Reolink RLC-520A shares the same design with the RLC-520 since it’s supposed to be a replacement for the older series. The wide field of view of the 2.8mm lens means the DORI distance is probably about 2m - though I've not done the calculations.

In the Reolink App it does not matter what mode I run it in on, it show perfect footage with audio.Step 4. Once the camera is installed, you can adjust the angle up and down 70 degrees or 360 degrees horizontally.

The 18 infrared lights also worked like Reolink claimed, allowing the RLC-820A to deliver high-quality images at night. It gave us a view of up to 30m, and we could see every detail visible in daytime shots. Aside from that, there was minimal noise, thanks to the 3D-DNR technology. The camera supports three kinds of storage mediums and recordings. RLC-820A can record by scheduled recording, motion detection, and continuous recording.To set up the camera, you need to connect the camera to a PoE switch/injector for network connection. After that, you may finish the initial setup via both Reolink App and the Client. I don’t want to get too much into the recording aspect or stream quality settings as I will cover those in a future post. I will be looking to manage these under some other software, but I did want to get these into Home-Assistant. There are several ways of doing this, with snippets of code and integrations. some are more difficult than others. Fortunately for us, someone has already written a very nice integration for us which takes away all the pain! We will also discuss one of the best product features in our Reolink RLC-820A 4K PoE Camera Review: recording options. The 833A seems to have better detail. For example, if you look at the bushes against the house across the street, the 833A seems to have slightly more definition.
