This NVR is fantastic. Simple setup. Virtually instant detection and inclusion of Reolink cameras. Slim form.I upgraded to two 6TB WD Purple drives for 12TB storage max. Repurposed the included high-quality Seagate 4TB drive as a backup drive in my Desktop.This is actually a 24 Channel NVR with 16 channels of wired PoE and 8 more for Wifi cameras. I have it currently set up with 8 Poe cameras and 4 Wifi (including the Reolink doorbell). All work flawlessly.This integrates seamlessly and near instantly with Home Assistant. Unfortunately the NVR cameras don't appear to integrate or be available to Amazon Alexa - so displaying the non-wifi cameras on a Fire TV Stick won't work unless they're put on their own network switch (which removes the utility of the included NVR PoE switch).The integral network switch means I only need to occupy a single port on my primary network switch. I confirmed the network switch operates like any other, I can run multiple cameras off a single Cat5/6 cable from the NVR, through a PoE splitter and to at least two cameras. I did this when replacing a Duo with two separate cameras. This makes expansion simple after installation if I want a second camera somewhere and don't want to run more cable. Each camera still takes up a camera channel on the NVR and I suspect there is a bandwidth issue if you tried to run too many cameras on a single cable, but this does increase flexibility.I haven't researched if there is a way to automatically dump video files from the NVR onto a NAS for double backup. That would be a nice feature.About the only complaint in the Reolink ecosystem, and one repeated by many, is the notification for an event takes you to the camera live view rather than the motion event. You then have to navigate to find the motion event. Finding the motion event inside the 24/7 recording stream can also be challenging. The tools are there, they just aren't that intuitive.Update: Reolink appears to have listened regarding motion alerts. I just discovered, if you have notifications set up and click the notification, you are now taken directly to the motion clip! My one complaint is fixed!

I have this system setup with 9 POE cameras (5mp). The quality of the image is excellent. A few notes: the 3TB sounds like a huge amount, but with 5mp cameras set at highest setting with audio, it doesn't allow for more than about 6-8 days of recording storage. I had another 2TB hard drive (same type, brand etc. from an older NVR) that I mounted inside this NVR case- no problem. I have it all hooked up to a 4k 42" television through one HDMI cable. I have the NVR also hooked to my wireless router with a ethernet cable for remote access through my laptop or smartphones. I recommend not going small on your monitor or television. There are several options for display, which are great. I can watch all 9 cameras at one time, but with 9 cameras on a 42"- lets just say the individual camera feeds aren't huge... I like the fact that the audio monitoring comes through the one ethernet cable from each camera and also through the hdmi output to the monitor/tv. I did try a true dedicated widescreen computer monitor at first (34 or 35" screen), but it wasn't 4k and it was much more expensive than the 4k 42" tv. Advantage of the monitor- I could use my desktop computer and monitor the video feeds on the same screen by splitting the inputs. That didn't outweigh the disadvantage for me of the much more expensive screen and lack of 4k capability for future camera upgrades. It isn't clear on the description, but this NVR works with 4k cameras also. Also, while using my smartphone, I can review stored video feeds at up to 16x speed (audio only available on 1k speed). That makes it much faster if you want to review any strange situations.So, when is that important: I had a situation where we were on a trip and my back hose bib (outside water faucet) came on during a storm. I couldn't tell for sure that it was on while looking at the video feed while gone, but sure enough, it was on when I got home. The water ran for 3 days. Was it a vandal? I sure thought so, but I went back to the camera feed that covered that area and backed it up. A plastic lawn chair on my deck had blown into the faucet at just the right angle and bounced off, but turned on the water. I wouldn't have thought that was possible, but it happened. Never would have believed had I not saw it with my own eyes.My takeaways: I thought initially 4 or 6 cameras would be enough. To actually cover my house and detached carport took eight (8) cameras. The 9th is for my shop. You just can't do it with 4 or 6 cameras. The TV/monitor hardwire (hdmi) hookup only allows video review at 4X speed. Smartphone or laptop hooked up through my wireless router (or 4g) allows up to 16X review speed of stored video. Not sure why this is. Also, there is no phone number for tech support anywhere in the US. All tech support is via email. I am old school and I like to talk to a person. To me, that is the biggest downside. Supposedly, this only supports Reolink cameras. I haven't tried any other brands, but I may for the PTZ feature. I will update my review when I do. Why would I do that? Reolink only offers a 4x optical zoom camera at this time. Other makers offer up to 20x optical zoom. That would be nice. Also, the compression is a different standard (H264 vs H265). That may be why it doesn't work with other makes.All in all a very nice, easy to set up system with audio and excellent video quality. Hardest part was running the wiring.Any questions about my installation, please don't hesitate to message me.Hope this helps.UPDATE 11/17/2020I saw some reviews that state this NVR doesn't work on 4k cameras. They make two versions of the RLN16-410. I do have the 4k version. Make sure when you order it, you go with the 4k for future upgrades. Also, I added an extra internal hard drive for as 3tb for 24/7 recording does only do about 4 days with 8 cameras. To me, I like the option of having 7 or 8 days and the fact that you can occasionally format one hard drive and not lose your settings. Only issue I have had is the firmware upgrades. I haven't been able to successfully do a firmware upgrade yet. Am going to contact customer support on this today.

This is my second Reolink NVR, my first purchased 6 years ago is still humming along, powering all 8 outdoor PoE cameras beautifully. I wanted to add support for the new Trackmix cameras and add more camera capacity, so I'm upgrading my existing NVR (RLN8-410-E H3MB16) and keeping the same cameras. The hardware (NVR and especially the cameras) is great, and the apps are getting better, though they still have some work to do, like getting auto-updates working- for example, almost every Reolink product has auto updates, it reports everything is fully up-to-date, but it is not- you have to download a file and manually update the firmware. We have a tablet in the kitchen always logged in so my kids can see who is at the door. The longevity and near flawless operation warrants 5-stars, and I hope to get 6 more hassle-free years from this unit like I did my old one.

Fantastic product, never had a problem with Reolink Products, I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation

This is now my 3rd CCTV system I have invested in personally and I have installed many other systems for customers. I am very impressed with the way that that the Reolink system links up so easily. Set up is very automated and the NVR is able to see the Reolink cameras without the need to mess arounf with settings on my router.I have 3 x RLC423 POE external cameras and 3 x Reolink C2 internal cameras which of which 2 are used with a POE splitter vie ethernet and 1 wirelessly. I am amazed at the quality and speed of the system and how easily the mobile apps on iOS and Android find the system.All other networked CCTV systems I have used and installed have had to have the router settings manipulated to pick up the CCTV systems and for them to be viewed remotely.I could say so much more about this kit but basically I love it for its ease of install and setup, price, excelent video quality and the mobile app. The only slight grumble I did have (which I'm sure will be addressed in future updates) is that the PC veiwing software does not scale correctly on my 4k laptop.

I recently bought 3 of the Reolink 1440p cameras and one indoor camera and I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality. The software on the NVR does take a few minutes to learn to use, but once you have it, it's very user friendly.The image quality on the cameras is excellent both during the day and at night.We run alocal neighbourhood watch group and I have recommended the Reolink system to 4 other people and 3 of them have now bough the same system as me and are all very pleased.The installation with POE (Power over Ethernet) is very simple and makes it quick to install with only basic DIY skills. The software is good and the free to download Apple or Android app is excellent too.If you're looking for a great product that isn't stupidly expensive then this will tick all of the boxes for you.
