REOLINKE1 Pro 3K PT Wi-Fi Indoor Camera for Baby & Pet Monitoring, Auto Tracking, 5MP Night Vision Enhanced by F1.6 Aperture, Person/Pet/Baby Crying Detection, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, Two-Way Audio

This was easy to plug in and get working. I already had the app loaded on my phone, from my 4-cam/8-channel NVR system. Plug this camera in to the network and power it up, set it up. Unplug the network and power, and put it anywhere there is a power receptacle. Instant WiFi cam!Mammy Cam. Got this for Mom. I can watch my 89 year-old Mom from anywhere my phone is. I can see the whole room, or zoom in on the bed. I can see if her eyes are open in the darkened room. (Almost creepy... but now I can know that I might need to check on her comfort.) I could not zoom in and read the light writing inked onto a post-it on a wall 8 feet away. But that may be asking too much? Image is otherwise more than acceptable.PT works from a control-circle showing on the phone screen. (Don't recall whether I tried a 'swipe' in a direction, to do this.) Z works by spreading two fingers that are touching the image on the phone, standard Android zoom. Viewing on the phone offers three resolutions. "Fluent", a middle offering, and the Hi-Def. The highest/finest seems to use phone data, even though it was connected to my home Wifi. Does not bother me, but thought I'd mention it.I also loaded the PC app to my home (gaming) computer. Mouse over the picture, drag left, right, up, down, or scroll the mouse wheel to zoom. Easy. Faster response than the phone. Response seems instantaneous. (Add a second for the phone.) Have not received sound yet, but I know this is a setting somewhere. I believe I left this turned off at set-up, wherever that setting was, as I was worried about feed-back when I was setting it up. Now I want it… I’ll find it… just got a mic, too. More work to do.On both apps, the camara and the NVR seem to register as two different (NVR?) devices.- My NVR 'device' offers me the 3 cams that I currently have it set up to see (a few more are waiting for install), and this camera offers me... this. The NVR can be set up to register and record this camera, also. I just haven't gotten there yet.- This camera will also act as it's own individual NVR device and will record to/ play from it's own memory card (which you provide - up to 256G, was it?), which it seems can also be accessed from the app, when installed. (I don't have a card in mine - yet?) When I get to setting it up on the NVR, it will record to there. It can also record to an FTP server. (My NAS has an FTP server I can run, to make this happen, and 11 TB of storage.)More to try, but so far, very good.

I recently purchased three Reolink E1 Pro monitors to keep an eye on a family member who recently had some health issues. I am extremely impressed, satisfied and so happy that I selected this product. The product arrived in perfect shape. The setup of each monitor was extremely easy. The phone app was easy to find and install on my Android phone. Voice prompts from the monitor and also the app guided me through the whole process quickly and easily. Setup was a breeze and had me monitoring in just a few minutes.. The phone app is very easy to use, which is another huge asset in using this product. I set up one monitor in the living room, kitchen-dining room area, and bedroom. I can view each room separately or I can monitor all three rooms at once. Monitoring during daytime or evening is easy due to the great resolution of the monitor. I can also turn on the sound and hear all communication going on in a room. The Reolink monitor also allows me to return communication (two-way). There have been a few instances where my family member has said my communication was a bit garbled, but that may be due to user error on my part by being too close to my phone when speaking. Most times communication from my end is heard well. There is a second or 2 delay in receiving my voice communication but I am heard and can hear the family member extremely well. Also the monitor has amazing room surveillance coverage in that I am able to remotely move the monitor so that I can see all parts of a room from ceiling to floor and left to right. Technology is amazing!!! This product has given me a sense of well-being when I can't be with my family member in person. It also has given my family member a sense of safety and well-being in that they dont feel alone. Whether this device would be used for baby monitoring, covid monitoring, the elderly monitoring, security or any other needed reason for monitoring, I highly highly recommend this product. You get a lot of bang for your buck along with a huge sense of relief in being able to oversee any situation clearly without actually being in the room. This is a great product that I highly recommend. I am beyond satisfied with my purchase.
