It also supports ONVIF and RTSP stream however at the moment you can only access the sub-stream since it doesn’t support streaming in H.265, and the sub-stream is only in 360p. The siren and spotlights both complement each other, but you can tweak their settings depending on where you live, so as not to make your neighbors uncomfortable. As a fitness fanatic who loves running and cycling, I also have a keen interest in fitness-related technology, and I take every opportunity to cover this niche on my blog. My diverse interests allow me to bring a unique perspective to tech blogging, merging lifestyle, fitness, and the latest tech trends.

Cache ― model pl310: hardware controller that manages the data/instruction cache (it sits between the RAM memory and the CPU). It speeds up execution by not having to keep fetching instructions from RAM (very expensive). U-Boot partition (file u-boot.bin) ― contains the U-Boot bootloader, size 0x18000 starting at 0xc0000. At first I wasn't able to get them loaded into BlueIris but after requesting the latest firmware I was able to load them as a generic camera. I was not able to use the Reolink built in profile. I have the cameras sending the best quality picture and I have the server, network, and storage to handle that. Edit #1: Today was a nice sunny day in Missouri. Typically this would mean a LOT of false-positive motion detection alarms. Today most of the alarms I received were my dog going outside or myself grilling. This was with the motion detection set to 30, on the RLC-520 a day like this on 30 would mean hundreds of alarms due to swaying tree limbs.It is not the task of this series to delve further into all hardware devices, so the hardware section ends here. In summary, let’s end this article with a couple of thoughts. I am not a hardware expert, so take everything in this article with a grain of salt. For more specs of the RLC-810A camera, please refer to Specifications Installation of RLC-810A Connection Diagram appfs partition ( appfs.ubifs.bin file) ― contains the set of application-specific files, size 0x1500000 starting at 0x2700000. The two models are the RLK8-510B4-A and RLK8-810B4-A. These are 8-channel NVRs with the 510B4 being designed for 5MP while the 810B4 can handle 4K. They both come with a 2TB HDD built-in.

The object detection works well, I would say it is maybe not quite as accurate as Eufy or Sentry AI (with Blue Iris), but it is close. So far I feel like the RLC-810A does a better job with motion detection. Although it does say "Person alert" when my dog is in frame, but I treat my dog like a kid, so maybe the camera is onto something. Now that either the Reolink RLC-810A or Reolink RLC-811A has been integrated with the Reolink app, you should already be seeing the Livestream from either camera. You can begin to play around with the camera’s features and settings.

Home-Assistant Integration:

Hardware: Please include better screws. Carefully installing this I already stripped out one of the Phillips head screws, even with pre-drilling the hole. This is really helpful to prevent false alarms and I think it worked ok, I didn’t have any false during the time I tested the camera. When any manufacturer wants to market a product in a certain country, it must comply with certain laws that regulate the use of frequencies and the impact it has on frequencies already in use. For the United States, the regulatory body that verifies each product and certifies its safety is the FCC. The commission has its own mark that certifies that the electromagnetic interference from the device complies with appropriate limits. The Reolink RLC-811A has just one model. It looks just like the RLC-810A but with some added features. Beginning with, it has a lens specification of f-2.7 to 13.5 mm, and F-1.6 to 3.3, while its field of view is 105° – 31° horizontally, and 55° – 17° vertically. The camera’s night vision range is a 30-meter distance with 4 infrared LEDs. In addition to this, the Reolink RLC-811A is designed with spotlights (5 pcs, 6500K, 450 Lumens) to enable colored night vision.

As we review the Reolink RLC-810A vs. Reolink RLC-811A, you will get a full understanding of both, and in the end, be able to make an informed decision. You can see a rubber joint around the MicroSD card slot that is meant to protect the card from rain, dust, and humidity. I tightened the two screws and installation is now complete. We just need to configure the camera to complete the setup, notably the Motion detection. Even though the Reolink RLC-810A is an 8-megapixel camera, it does not have spotlights and this may be a deal breaker for you.If there's anything else people would like me to test beyond the standard image performance, motion detection, please let me know and I'll be sure to include it as part of this write-up. Asides from these, every other feature of the Reolink RLC-810A models is the same. The primary selling point of the Reolink RLC-810A is its 8 Megapixels video resolution (3840 x 2160, 25 frames/sec). The camera delivers impressive 4k video feeds in the daytime and at night, it comes through with its 18 pcs infrared LEDs. Viewing the clips can be slow, sometimes loading it is instantaneous, other times it just hangs for a while.
