  • 180° surveillance test: These 4 Reolink cameras secure your home seamlessly

    180 Grad Panorama Ueberwachung Reolink www.commaik.de - 180° surveillance test: These 4 Reolink cameras secure your home seamlessly

    Reolink 180-degree cameras in the test: I tested four current models with dual-lens technology – the Argus 4 Pro, Duo 3 PoE, Duo 3 WiFi and Duo 3V PoE. The focus was on 180° field of view, image quality, night vision, WLAN vs. PoE, motion detection and smart home functions. The article shows which Reolink surveillance camera is really convincing, what is important when buying and which solution is best suited for which environment. All cameras were installed, tested in everyday use and linked to the Reolink app. The test provides real experience – compact, practical and with a clear recommendation.
