  • Reolink Home Hub: Central storage & monitoring center

    A man looks thoughtfully at three security cameras, each with arrows pointing toward a white Reolink home hub device on a grey background. www.commaik.de

    The Reolink Home Hub is an innovative surveillance camera storage and management unit that enables easy and efficient management with local storage for up to eight cameras. Especially for users who do not require a complex NVR infrastructure, this home hub offers a compact and powerful alternative. In this article, I will go into detail about the functions, setup, advantages and disadvantages of the Reolink Home Hub.

  • Reolink Duo 3 PoE surveillance camera tested against 2 RLC 810A

    A man stands thoughtfully next to a large question mark, with three Reolink security cameras and the Reolink logo displayed on a gray background, highlighting Reolink’s commitment to smart security solutions. www.commaik.de

    In my latest smart home project, I replaced my two Reolink RLC-810A cameras with the Reolink Duo 3 PoE surveillance camera with dual lens. I was particularly interested in whether the 180° detection of the Duo 3 PoE 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 or were the two old camera models better? I would like to explore these questions in this blog post.

    The Reolink surveillance cameras offer many functions. But what settings do I need to make step by step to get the most out of my security camera? And what is the difference between the settings on the network video recorder (NVR) and the camera? I would like to describe the setup and configuration of my Reolink PoE IP camera in more detail in the following article. You can also watch the entire installation process at

  • Install Reolink RLN36 NVR | Install hard disk and set up camera

    Reolink NVR device on a gray background with large "Reolink NVR" text above it; a hand can be seen in the background installing a hard drive inside the Reolink security system. www.commaik.de

    To monitor my property, I had set up a camera surveillance system. Nine Hikvison and Trendnet cameras monitored every nook and cranny on the site. The data was stored on a QNAP NAS. The system ran cleanly and stably – but also at the capacity limit. The amount of data from the cameras was simply too large and I had to think about how to future-proof my surveillance system. I therefore decided to set up a Reolink camera system and store the data on an NVR, a network video recorder. In this post I show you how I went about it.
