    I like the portability of the cameras. Once you set them up to your WiFi, which was easy and had instructions, you can plug them in anywhere within signal range. You can add a micro SD for recording footage too. You can turn on the speaker part to hear and talk however, it is kinda distorted so I deducted 1 star for sound quality. Picture quality is good. Not HD but good. You can re-direct the camera view with your phone which is helpful.I put one in my living room facing the front door and one in my laundry room to watch my cats at night. Overall, I really like these cameras. (This photo of my cats is zoomed in)

    Was relatively easy to install and pair to the app on my phone. Quality is good enough for keeping an eye on the house. They offer 1 month renewable cloud storage (so you have to renew each month, but it's free so you can't beat that).

    Edit: Months later cloud storage no longer recognized camera and would not allow me to add it again. Months after that wifi connection keeps failing. I tried restarting camera, resetting router, hard reset of camera (only to be unable to add camera due to wifi connection failing). I noticed troubleshooting mentions wifi password cannot have special characters. Ours does and it had worked fine until then. I sent message 1 week ago through their customer support form on their website and no response.. Pretty disappointed in customer service and the fact that this camera has become useless. Very frustrating having to wait to get support (and not being able to speak to a person to resolve it immediately). Considering cameras are used for security, I'm not sure I would recommend this anymore.

    Edit #2: Support did contact me back and we worked through the problem. Our wifi has split 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Both are named the same thing and after an internet outage it looks like the camera was trying to connect to the 5ghz. I had to rename the 2.4 ghz and reconfigure the connection on the camera.

    These cameras are fantastic, I have already purchased one in the past and needed more for around my home to watch my dogs while at work. The camera quality is amazing. The app loads fast and gives clear sound and video. Unlike other cameras you do not have to subscribe to any monthly plan which is what I was looking for. For storage you can choose to put in your own SD card. Set up was easy with my already existing account and sharing the account and camera to my wife’s phone was easy as well.

    ... depends a lot on what you have to start with.

    I ran Digi-Watcher for twenty years on a WinMe Dell Dimension with a Microsoft LifeCam that, for most of its life, served no other purpose. Loved it, because it did a common thing uncommonly well: motion-sense, e-mail notification with pix, stored video and sound, etc. It was exceedingly flexible and exceedingly reliable. I could easily disconnect it from the network when I didn't care to be live-streamed.

    My old Dimension finally kicked the bucket, leaving me with a gap in my indoor home/office surveillance coverage. Enter the Reolink E1. I found it much less flexible and only marginally more capable than my old system, but I finally made it work in a way that suits my needs.

    I was wary of downloading an app to my phone just to set up another device. I would have preferred to use a browser, but the E1, unlike higher-end Reolink cameras, doesn't support that. Reolink provided a lightweight APK file that asked for only limited permissions, which I found encouraging. I also discovered later that I would use the phone app much more often than I would have expected during my comings and goings.

    Thanks to the commenter here who advised using an ethernet cable connection to perform the initial setup of the E1. I've got several WiFi networks available to me at this location, and l use them to isolate certain devices and applications from one another. Nevertheless, my E1 couldn't find any of them at first. I needed to connect a cable from the E1 to the desired network and to get my phone on that network at the same time. Afterwards, the E1 was able to connect to WiFi without the wire and to be controlled, of course, irrespective of which network the phone was on.

    The E1 makes a fuss if a network's password contains any non-alpha-numeric characters. I wasn't about to change that password for one device. Somehow after multiple tries, I got the E1 to accept it. Entering that long password also took multiple tries due to mistyping. There was almost no way to confirm what I had typed before hitting Enter, so I could never be sure of the cause of a failed connection: mistyping, weak signal or something else. (The use of the ethernet cable simplified those possibilities.)

    To send e-mail notifications when it detects motion, the E1 uses a single e-mail address to send a message to itself! This means that it wants to know your e-mail password! I ended up setting up a new single-purpose e-mail address for the E1. It recommends Gmail or Yahoo(!) (My Thunderbird client receives and categorizes incoming e-mails for multiple accounts all-at-once.)

    I was accustomed to taking my old camera off the network when I didn't need it, but that's not the easiest option with the E1. It can be finicky about finding the WiFi network later. Now I might just use the PTZ function of the phone app to point it toward a wall that receives no direct sunlight when I am home (and make sure its microphone is off.) This arrangement does not provide the same level of isolation as I am used to, but in casual use it beats fiddling with the network router or disabling a WiFi network extender (for now.) Even so, it sometimes produces dozens of spurious notifications/day due to the sun moving in and out of the clouds. I am reluctant to decrease E1's motion sensitivity any further than I already have. Ultimately, the easiest solution seems to be to place something decorative and opaque (like a hat or a sock or an inverted flower pot) over it when monitoring is not needed. The cover is unambiguous, and it obviates the need to use the app's PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom, though the E1 does not zoom) feature to reposition the camera constantly. It does still seem to “phone home” once per night at 2:00AM if nothing else has been going on.

    So, in the end, I spent many hours setting up my first E1 for the most basic functionality and then configuring it and the network to suit my work habits. If it remains stable, convenient and secure, it will be a good tool. If I decide to add additional Reolink cameras, I'll probably devise a way to connect and disconnect them to and from the network as a group (probably using a network extender with a unique WiFi SSID.)

    Used to have "Furbo" that threw treats and watched the dogs--but the connectivity was TERRIBLE. Maybe some of that is on my internet service, but it disconnected one time after a year and I never could get it to reconnect--and it was expensive!! This thing was a fraction of the price and obviously doesn't throw treats, but it's all I needed to keep an eye on our pups while were gone and unlike the Furbo, I can place it anywhere in the house (i.e. not right next to the router) and it still works great. I love that I can rotate the camera remotely from the app, it records and saves videos when it detects movement, I can talk to the dogs through the camera if I need to, the picture is pretty good and it's small enough it doesn't stick out like too much of an eye-sore on the entertainment center with all my decor. You can also set the sensitivity to determine how often it sends notifications to your phone. Just perfect, I'm so happy with it and it gives me peace of mind when I can't be home.

    It's a good device and compatible with a previous Argus Model I bought 2 years ago.
    The setup is the same and quite easy.
    However, the light in night mode needs to be constant in the room because the contrast is not good in the dark area.
    The quality is less good that the Argus, and the reference point was lost already twice within 1 week of usage. Not a big deal, but just to reprogram it. So far so good
