Reolink E340

With the Reolink E340, I can monitor my entire living room with just one camera. It's easy to install, and it automatically moves when someone walks by, but it only works with a wired connection.

Easy installation and always-on power The camera is lightweight and not too large. This makes it easy to set up without drilling holes. I do need to place the camera near an outlet, as it requires a wall plug. This means I can't place it anywhere, but I don't have to worry about battery life. I then easily connect the camera to my phone via the Reolink app. This camera has an SD card slot, so I can save the footage to a micro SD card and watch it later. There's also a cloud subscription option for a fixed monthly fee.

Rotating camera with smart detection This camera rotates almost completely and tilts up and down. I set it to automatically track movement in the app, but I also move it back and forth manually. This means I only need one camera to secure my entire living room. I also configure precisely what the camera recognizes. There's an option to detect all movements, but I can also choose to recognize only animals or people. The camera also recognizes the sound of a crying baby, so it also functions as a baby monitor. Because I can configure the camera so precisely, I don't receive unnecessary notifications.

Built-in microphone and speakers As soon as I tap a notification from the camera, I'm taken to the app and can immediately view the footage. The camera records in 4K resolution, so the images are very sharp. The built-in speakers allow me to speak loudly through the camera. This way, I can, for example, reassure my dog when he barks. The camera also has a built-in microphone, so people can talk back to me. This way, I can leave the house with peace of mind.

I was a bit apprehensive about reinstalling everything, but after opening it, it was up and running in no time. It connected and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. Works straight away. Great!

Having used the E340 for a week now, I can say that the installation was quick and easy, the software works well, and the image is sharp.

I am very satisfied with this system. It functions well and sends immediate notifications when motion is detected. Additionally, there is the option to use cloud storage. There is currently a free version available that needs to be renewed monthly, but fortunately, that can be done with the push of a button.

I purchased this system to secure my basement, and it fully meets my expectations. The image quality is good even in the dark, and I consistently receive a reliable notification on my phone whenever motion is detected.
