Reolink cameras sold by Amazon.com

Home        Programming links and tips

Be aware many of the Reolink Cameras are built in China and have an exotic way of 'drilling thru ' the router's firewall setup using Amazon's ' cloud '. We have people investigating the network usage and protocols but can not get information from Reolink on the programming yet. Be careful with any ' intelligent 'camera due to the video, picture and audio capabilities that can be misused by nefarious parties that may want to compromise sensitive areas.

Every vote counting location should be equipped with inexpensive wireless cameras similar to these to detect the fraud going on right now.

I was investigating using the inexpensive versions of the Reolink E1 cameras for different projects and needed a way to power them without needing the AC 5vdc adapter that comes with them. ( I wanted to be able to put them in a car close to the house and also have them act as a inexpensive burglar alarm... with siren and email notifications or silent if you wanted to configure it that way )

This cable adapter was referred to me by Reolink network support personnel... they did not have an actual cable like I was describing but the technician found this cable assembly that may work like I needed. It is not a Reolink object for sale and not supported by Reolink but may work for this project application )

Setting them up is fairly easy... I even installed the PC software on my girl friend's PC from remote access.
These also do not need any special changes to your routers for remote access from your phone or from a PC.

No, I do not work for Amazon or Reolink<G>.... I just needed something so that I could see around my home when I'm not there so I made the decision to invest in these. The outside battery powered cameras are more expensive but I never have to worry about dead batteries or wire that can be cut.

There are also cameras that have CELL PHONE ACCESS so you do not even have to have a WiFi connection to send video and sound and to possibly set off an audible alarm or talk to the intruder if needed... a little more expensive and you would have to pay a additional cell phone bills but also less dependent on internet service at the location.
