Someone close to me want’s to install some security cameras with the goal of a simple and relatively cheap surveilance system, ideally over wifi and with phone integration and maybe also a doorbell.
I’ve heard people recommend Reolink and the features and price seem good. Im just a bit concerned about them tracking any data.
It was shown that the Ring doorbell app collected data without the users knowledge or consent, and there was also a scandal with Anker’s Eufy cameras.
So my questions are: What do you think of Reolink as a company? Are they trustworthy and how happy are you as a consumer? Is there any red flag or “gotcha”, I might have missed?
Sounds like a solid plan! Note that you can also get BlueIris apps on Android and ios for a fairly low cost - still need the server + BlueIris server software, but being able to roll over in bed and check the cams in the middle of the night on your phone or tablet is indispensably convenient.
