REOLINK Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE Security Camera with 180° Panoramic View, Motion Track, F1.6 Color Night Vision, Person/Vehicle/Animal Detection, 2 Way Talk, Supports 24/7 Recording

Used to use Blink, but will never go back!
Originally had the Blink battery cam system, and after a while, it would just get annoying having to up every two weeks to change the battery.Enter in The Reolink Duo3! The camera has great quality (far better than the one on the blink system), and the night vision is great too–you can use the IR or even the light on the cam (which is all an option available via the app).The sound quality is great as well… it can even pick up conversations from the sidewalk. It looks like a regular cam, and the size is similar to one… but it gives you 2 cams in one with the 180 degree view. This is one of the best features of the cam.The setup wasn’t that easy though. It took 2 days for my father and brother to install (I’m currently injured and can’t do anything physically demanding, otherwise I would’ve helped too). The reason for the lengthy of time was because of the way my father wanted to set it up on the house. Had to run the wires through the attic and all the way to the basement (where the router is located). He wanted the cam, so I bought it, and he’s very satisfied with it.We even have the stoage system (dvr) as well. It’s a great addition to the system and boosts its functionality. At the end of the day, my father said that it was worth all of the labor he and my brother did, because it is the best camera system he ever had.BTW- We had 2 Blink cams setup on the right and left corner of the house. Now, we just have this one Reolink cam that covers more than the two Blink systems were able to cover together. Seriously, this is a great security cam. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a great security system!

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.

This is an excellent camera. Picture, sound qualities are excellent, however, the vertical field of view is too narrow, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of five. Previous revision of this camera has a vertical field of view of 60 degree, but it is only 55 in this new version. I also have that constant glare in the lense at night.

Attached picture for field of view. Coming from the Blink world, this is a great upgrade. Very easy to set up. The hardest part is running the ethernet cable. The attached screenshot is from my samsung phone at work. Pretty much plug and play. I would recomend, paired with an NVR of course.
