In my latest smart home project, I replaced the Reolink RLC-810A cameras with the more advanced Reolink Duo 3 PoE model. I was particularly interested to see if the Duo 3 PoE’s impressive 180° coverage could actually improve the monitoring of my driveway and carport. With its 16-megapixel resolution and 2-way communication capability, the Duo 3 PoE promised superior technology and more comprehensive security. But would all the effort and financial investment really be worth it? I would like to explore these questions in this blog post.
