Customers say
Customers praise the security camera’s high-quality video, complete 180-degree view, and ease of setup, with one noting it comes with everything needed for installation. They appreciate its advanced motion detection capabilities, particularly its ability to detect people and cars, and its bright floodlight feature. The functionality and sound quality receive mixed reviews – while the camera works well with Blue Iris, some find it unusable, and though it has sound capabilities, customers report poor audio quality.

Wow – what an upgrade
I bought this to replace a 10 year old camera. I think the other camera was either 720p or perhaps 1080p. It worked – but had a limited field of view and night vision on it was just ok. People often could evade being detected if they walked up a certain part of my yard. The camera could not see it.The Duo 3 far exceeded my expectations. It easily sees 300% more of my yard than the old camera. Plus, the resolution is way better. No more delivery people will be able to sneak past this field of view with this camera.I am also using this with software called Frigate, which integrates with Home Assistant. Frigate was easy to set up. (My old camera worked with it as well).Other features the new camera has compared to my old one: microphone, speaker, better night vision, and a spotlight. I may not use the audio capabilities, but nice to have if I change my mind.The spotlight is reasonably bright. I like having this so if it detects motion at night, it will turn on. Useful for people walking up to the door or perhaps to spook a prowler.The app does not require an account. I downloaded it, installed it, and am able to watch my camera. I think I can set up an account and probably some type of paid plan, but have yet to be prompted by it. Very nice! I do not want to deal with another account. (Since I use Frigate as my nvr, I also do not want any paid services).I bought this on sale. I think it might have been cheaper than the camera I replaced from 10 years ago. Still amazed at how good it is.

Great for a back or front yard
A couple years ago, I purchased the Reolink DVR with 4 cameras, and had them mounted on the 4 corners of my home. 2 in the front yard facing each other so I can see the whole area, and 2 in the back yard facing each other. I’ve always wanted better side yard visibility since I’ve had a few instances now of people crossing through my sideyard and even contruction people working for a neighbor who were in my side yard. So, I bought this on sale (thank you Amazon and Reolink) to cover the back yard, and repointed the ones on the corners to see the side yard.You can see in the screenshot above, I can now see all of my yard and have a great view of the backyard. The clarity is nice. I also like the floodlight feature on it as well as the 2 way communications available. The siren COULD be louder, but I won’t be using that much (hopefully).As I’ve mentioned in previous reveiws, I love that it’s a POE camera since it won’t need batteries and can’t be jammed by a FlipperZero or other wireless jamming device. It can’t be disabled without you first having been recorded. That being said, I would recommend pairing it with the DVR for that purpose. It can take up to 256GB of memory in an SD card, but that can be removed. If paired with a DVR indoors, they can take the camera or remove the card, but they’re still recorded securely in your home! Also, if you’re like me and have your network equipment on a battery backup, cutting power to your home won’t kill this camera. It will run on the juice being supplied across the network! Sweet!If you’re not interested in that, can’t get network cables to the location you plan to mount it, or just prefer wireless still, then go for the wifi version of this camera. I’m still impressed with the rest of the features enough to suggest it!For the techies out there like me, it plays nicely with all the IOT services. Apple Homekit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and (my favorite) HomeAssistant all play well with it! In Alexa and HomeAssistant (the two I’ve tested the most with it) even the options to send voice back to it, trigger the siren, and trigger the flood light are all available! I’m already testing automations in HomeAssistant now!For the price, this is a great camera. My only complaint is a nit-picky one, and that is that in the DVR dashboard it comes across a bit small because it’s panoramic. I hope they add layouts in the DVR to accomodate these later! Until then, I’m still satisfied. It’s been worth every buck!

Great for home assistant
Reolink has great integration with home assistant, and it’s been getting better. They are now my camera of choice for my home system and recommendations. Setup took 10 minutes with a reolink NVR. The field of view is great for wide areas.

Excellent camera, not a 1:1 replacement for the Duo 2
This is a great, high definition camera sporting a 180 degree field of view with minimal distortion. It uses the same mounting bracket as the Duo 2 and can be dropped into an existing setup easily, **BUT** vertically, the FOV is not as tall as the Duo 2. For my application, I am still able to see everything I need to, but this is an important difference to note. It’s maybe 5 fewer degrees vertically. Horizontally, you can still see an impressive 180 degrees with only minor distortion in the center of the picture from stitching the two camera feeds together.This camera easily connects to AgentDVR, and AgentDVR is even able to use data from the camera’s AI motion and object detection to tag videos (with keywords including “detected”, “vehicle”, “people”, “animal”) or trigger recordings. FTP recording also works very well, although I had trouble with Auto/PASV transport and had to set it to Port to get it to work properly.This camera performs extremely well during the day. It’s able to read the license plate of a moving vehicle from about 50 feet away with almost perfect clarity. At ~25mph the vehicle almost looks like it’s not moving. At night, performance is still impressive, you can read the license plate of a stationary vehicle but a moving vehicle will only be a blur. You can still make out a good amount of detail if you adjust the image settings, but there’s only so much you can do for night surveillance.I have had some problems getting the camera to switch between day mode and night color mode. The street outside my house has LED street lights, which I guess is bright enough to confuse the light sensor. Weirdly, though, the camera has no problem switching from day to black-and-white (infrared) night mode… I’ve tried editing the manual picture settings for color night mode, and it’s definitely not kicking in; only changing the picture settings for day mode affects it. It’s a bummer because the settings that maximize clarity in my situation are a LOT different for day and night mode.The reason this review is for four stars instead of five is a mix of the reduced vertical field of view and the weirdness switching to night mode. I wish it was made clearer that the field of view is reduced (even just a screenshot showing what the field of view actually is, not necessarily directly comparing the two), and not being able to adjust the color night mode is annoying. Despite these negatives, it is still a fantastic camera with amazing picture quality, and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

Works great. I put it above my garage and it can pretty much see up and down the street

Fantastic quality image and full 180 coverage. only comes with a short RJ45 cable. Bright lights and great audio.recommend buying some microphone wind protectors for best results.

Good picture. the fact you can record on the unit and no subscription required is a game changer. connection from your phone is almost instant. I recommend the Duo 2 however, the Duo 3 has lower vertical field of view and higher bandwidth.

I’m using this camera with 3rd party software called Milestone XProtect. The camera picture is very good and comes with several options to downgrade the view/recording stream to save space and extend recording time. It was easy to mount/install, but I have had some problems with recordings. In some cases, the recordings will stutter or will fail to record motion. I still have to troubleshoot more, but my guess is the issue arises from the software I’m using and not the camera.

I have 7 Reolink cameras now in various models. I started out with Wyze cams, but I replaced all of them with Reolink because I hate the subscription format for anything. I started with a Duo 2, added a Doorbell camera, 2 Trackmixes and a Fisheye. I still needed 2 more. The Duo 3 came out so I got that, but for my last one, I ended up getting another Duo 2. If I could go back, I would get rid of the Duo 3 and replace it with a Duo 2. The vertical field of view on the Duo 2 is far greater than the Duo 3. I know the Duo 3 is supposed to be much higher resolution, but I don’t see much of a difference. Where there is a difference though is the price. I would probably pay more for the Duo 2 than the Duo 3, but luckily the Duo 2 is a lot cheaper than the 3, so big bonus.
