E1 Pro

UPDATE! I got Reolink E1 PRO for 39 pounds (I'm based in the UK) and it's working great. I've set up Home Assistant like some of you suggested, and integrated the camera easily. (Turned off UID, so that it all stays local)

Not for indoor use but I’m using the Reolink RLC-510A, the Reolink TrackMix PoE P760 (PTZ works great in Frigate), and some cheap old IPCAM cameras. I always had problems with Wi-Fi connections, so I switched back to PoE for all cameras.For indoor use you can go with the Reolink E1 Pro (around €50)

nursery You don’t need a nursery (yet) you need a small cot that goes into the master. Otherwise someone has to sleep in the nursery or get up to tend to the kid every 1-2h Philips Avent baby monitor works well. You can also use a WiFi camera like the Reolink E1 pro. A baby monitor is designed to sc

So I have 5 cameras and a NVR (Network Video Recorder, essentially a 2TB hard drive for the cameras). 4 of the cameras are hardwired to the NVR with POE ethernet and have pan and tilt autotracking, the doorbell uses WiFi and is stationary. I have about a week of 24x7 video storage in 4K and then eac

Amcrest and Reolink have a couple of WiFi+Ethernet cameras that sit on tables, like E1 Pro ( this one is not PoE, has a power cord and a separate Ethernet cord) How would the E1Pro be any different than what I already have? Where would be the gain in security if it’s not PoE? The "Po" in "PoE" isn't

For the indoor cameras, I keep them wired into the mains, so there’s no need to recharge them every 6 to 8 weeks. In terms of connectivity they use an internal SD card for recording and you can connect them to your WiFi and your phone. The doorbell camera is wireless, but that one does need charging

This is for pets and I'm guessing you can't drill holes because you are/will be renting as you say, so the best indoor camera for that is going to be a Reolink plugged in Wi-Fi camera. Reolink is the best Wi-Fi camera provider for residential use, IMO. You want plugged in because battery powered cam

If the camera is going inside, the reolink e1 pro would probably do pretty well. It can record to a reolink nvr (obviously), frigate, or you can just put an SD card in it

If you want a proper CCTV setup ignore marketing and focus on the fundamentals. I have run multiple systems and I have also been burned by cheap cameras that look good on paper but fail badly at night. This is what actually matters. What actually matters for image quality Sensor size This is the big

If you don't have a burning itch to get into the UniFi ecosystem: return it and buy a Reolink. The dirt cheap Reolink E1 Pro will work for your purpose but if you can swing it, I highly recommend buying a more expensive (read: less shitty) model.
