The BEST just got BETTER! - Reolink CX410W WIFI Security Camera Review

Im worried about the sd card slot. it doesnt have a cover.what if it rains

how do these CX serie cameras react to infrared light?

Dear Reolink, We need the CX in a dome format. Put me in for an order of 3. :)

Could use a windscreen on the mic.

Once they drop the full 360° PTZ POE version, I'll replace all static mount cams. Great review as always a very informative watch.

Any idea how long before the 4k version POE or WIFI will come out?

Do you find Reolink wifi better investment than Eufy? Thanks

Hello I have 1224 and in the dark it’s great and that’s just with street lights in colour only no need for spot lights
What’s this like without the spotlight on

Greetings. You think you get to review the New Reolink Argus Track 4k Solar camera ? I trust your reviews.

Just a heads up, the PoE version does have HDR option on its latest firmware version. It's quite helpful if the spotlight turns on, and it is monitoring something very close, as it stops faces etc being washed out when the background is very dark.

Now they need to add notification tones to each camera now

Good review. i have this camera sitting in my office, waiting to be deployed...with like 4 other Reolink products lol.

Does the WIFI version also support POE or can be powered through Ethernet? Or it can only be powered using the adapter? I know the question doesn't make sense but I have a strange use case for it. Thanks!

Can you review the new RLC 823s2?

That is sick how good the color is in total darkness.. Game over crooks ! Now for price point 89 bucks vs Rings Stick up cam Pro of 180 bucks .. tHE CX410 WIFI KILLS IT ON EVERY LEVEL !

My old issue is that my outdoor power is limited . why would anyone buy ring at this point?

i bought a very similar reolink camera and while it does say it is waterproof -- it was not true since water went into the camera.
so have you encountered any water seeping into the reolink cameras that you currently are using?

Are you going to test the Reolink Argus Track?

Dumb question but why switch from PoE to WiFi?

hey man, any chance you're doing a review of the new RLC-823S2 ?

Does this offer 24/7 recording ?

How does the color sensor react to supplemental IR lighting.. you have some in your yard but not sure if the were on on not.

Excellent review

One question, if I hang up the cam upside down, so the antennas are going down, can I change the video picture on the e.g. ipad by 180 degrees?

Would you take this one or Tapo colorpro camera? And which one has a better microphone for better 2 way communication?? Thanks!! Great video keep it coming.

You have ✅ all the boxes! Thanks so much for your working effort! Always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ worth

i notice reolink poe cameras have worse audio quality than the Reolinks that get power from outlet

I can not change focus. It is fixed ?

Do I have to connect this to some power outlet outside? I mean that can be difficult?

What is the purpose of the sd card? If the camera gets stolen and you don’t have a nvr then you lost all footage correct?

Can you test the maximum wifi distances. I have a pretty long yard and aluminum siding on my house, i am having trouble finding cameras that get a strong enough signal for the back.

As usual, another great review. I'm finally at the point of wanting to replace my NEST cameras and I think this might be it. There is a lot to like about this camera. And for the cost of a 1 year subscription to NEST AWARE it pretty much covers the cost of the reolink NVR.

One comment on the audio that I'm hoping you can suggest to all of the camera manufactures: If you listen to the THUNDER sounds whenever the wind is blowing it is super annoying. And it would be so simple for them to somewhat fix by applying a simple audio filter (in software) to remove all frequencies below 120Hz. Feel free to ask me for more info on this if you like.

Also, can you clarify one thing for me. If I have the Reolink NVR can I view the live and recorded footage from my office computer's browser? Or is it limited to just mobile devices?

Thanks again for what you do.

I have my wi-fi NVR with 4 cx410w and 1 trackmix wifi. The trackmix is farther away from the NVR but I noticed that it has full wifi signal and the cx410 w only has 1 bar you think you could find out and give me an update on why this is happening I did send a message to reolink but they never answer back thank you for all of your videos they have been really helpful

Nice Cam but I need my rich notifications so I can see if it's worth opening at that point or not. ( Tree moving....cat walking around) My 20 dollar wyze gives me that and my wyze sees at night perfect....and my wyze is the smallest camera out of all of them. Camera company's need to do all of this great stuff in a smaller package. Thanks for the review I send everyone to your channel. 🍕🇺🇲

I need help in where to stage the cameras outdoor, can you help us if we email you a video?

Good question for you. If you want a great security camera for day night, good quality which one you will buy. ?????

How about lorex?

Mr. Life Hackster, thank you for your amazing reviews. I bought my Tapos because of it. I would please ask you, to refer or comment on your reviews if the cameras send a notification when offline, i.e. in a power outage, or if switched off. My Tapos do not, and I wonder if any of them do. Thank you.

Love to see the review of cx810

This is a great review. I might get it! I have one question, though. Do you know if they fixed the notification speed? Thank you!

Hi I love your videos, you are doing this properly. I have a question - I bought some Wyze V3s but I am having connection issues with the wifi, the clips are slow to load and the video is choppy and unreliable. Moving the thing closer to the wifi router is not possible and I really don't want to do ethernet so I'm wondering if a model like this one with the larger antennaes maybe would help. Have you done any testing on wifi ranges on any models? I can't find anything on this.

hi i'm looking on amazon at this setup just wanted to get your opinion REOLINK
RLC-81MA Dual View PoE Camera, IP Security Camera System, CX410-2K PoE Security Camera Outdoor with F1.0 Aperture, 2xRLC-81MA and 2X CX410 Bundle 1x RLN8-410 NVR

Hi Lifehackster, thank you for the video.
If I wanted to change my Ring Spotlight Cam Plus wired with this reolink WiFi, how can I connect the Reolink to the electrical grid without using the charger? Is there any way I can power it up using the wagon tools you used with the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus wired?

Hi sir, what is the best of the best Reolink camera wired I can buy. Money is not an issue but I want the best of the best, please can you guide me, I watched all of your reolink videos but I can't seem to find the best, thank you

Will you be doing a review for the CX810 any time soon? From what I've seen they haven't made any improvements to the mic, which is a shame

Dumb question, do I need to connect an ethernet cable to this even if I’m using wifi connection?

Some information about this camera that I have been unable to find.

Does it camera have a black & white-mode?

How does it handle IR-lights? Does it see into the IR-spectrum, might there even be an IR-cut filter in the camera?

Can I set this camera up without a smartphone and instead with my laptop. I ask because I only have a prepaid cell-phone that I rarely use WiFi internet on that prepaid phone.

Does the camera work with the cloud?

I seem to be jumping from one ecosystem recommenced here to the next, also recommended here. Can someone please recommend if Reolink is the one to go with for a mixture of wireless (ABMBIENT light efficient) and wired? Mostly wireless. Not real happy with Eufy at the moment.
