            @carra23: Yeah you can't take each thing in isolation. I use the check-in apps because I see they have a positive use - and that one data point on its own isn't really a problem. When companies/governments can access multiple streams of information (location, purchasing, web history, etc) then it becomes a concern for me.

            I can assure you that if you look into some of the most surveillance heavy governments in the world at the moment, hardly any of them embraced the QR check in idea early. Because they don't want to watch everyone, just be able to watch the people that they seem important. QR codes are so far away from that.

        When people think of these problems, they usually think "Who cares if the Chinese government can see my dog in my backyard".
        The problem is it's more "There is an unsecured computer on my network that works as an entry point for a bad actor to do pretty much anything".

        For example, a few years back there was an internet-connected fish tank temperature sensor that was used to steal from a Casino: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/07/2…

        "Who cares what my fish tank temperature is?"
        Well… its not the fish tank temperature they are after..

        I will be honest. If one has vLAN, and the technical know how , they would not opt for this system. If they don't have vlan, then it's moot. :) VERY few people would have vlan at home let alone know what vlan is.

      Which one ? The complete kit is seriously easy to install as it used POE - run an ethernet cable, drill a hole in eaves pull cable through, screw in. Plug other end of ethernet into back of unit and 3 mins setup (basically to name the cameras) and you are done.

      I actually have these connected to the internet via NoIP as I'm boring as AF so don't care what the CCP find and its brilliant.

                  @CachePC: Apparently HDMI isn't covered by the regs and I would guess most wall mounted TVs would have a GPO on the wall behind the TV and connect to the network via wifi. I guess though, if you were chasing a CAT6 cable into the wall along with the HDMI, you would technically need to be licensed. No idea about the average installer although you'd think those companies would consider this.

                  All gets pretty frustrating when you're expected to pay someone else hundreds of dollars for things you could do yourself

                  +1

                  @CachePC: No they arnt. You can freely install coax if intended for antenna, hdmi, speaker wire and even low voltage cable but if its something that can be connected to the telecom network like catx, this includes 2/4pair phone line then its technically illegal and a data cabler or sparky with a open cabler endorsement is needed if it's going to be concealed cable in fixed structures, with cameras the installer would also need a security licence to carry out the job.

                  Completely legal to do it if your running the cable across the floor but if its under or in wall/ceiling then it's a no. The main reason for this is people running it close to electrical cable, not setting line droops that can cause fires and send feedback and actually made data lines live with power from improper installation somewhere up the line

        • 2023 on 22/12/2021 - 21:52

          Depending on the brick/roof combination they're some of the easiest installs.
          When running power/data I always try and run down external first.

          Extention bars for 1.4 noggin/double noggins with insulation is the worst.

              @Genepi: Ahh, INTERNAL.
              Yeah that's not going to happen, best to pick the least noticeable place and run duct from ceiling down.

            • DoesntEvenMatter on 21/01/2022 - 10:02

              @Genepi: Unlikely to have plaster just stuck on. There would be a frame and cavity behind it where you can run. But yes the easiest way to run cable is on the external walls so you don't be meet with noggin/firebreaks.

              Outside wall. ¦bricks¦ [frame/cavity] gap to runs |plaster|

              So you'd have the camera on your eves fed you into your roof space. Take off a few roof tiles and you should see the gap between the bricks and frame. That's where yiu feed the cable between. If it's next to a window you'd be meet with plywood that you'd need to drill through after going through the plaster.

              • Genepi on 22/01/2022 - 22:08

                @DoesntEvenMatter: Thanks for the help but yeah it's just plaster straight on the brick - no frame or cavity between.

    • boretentsu on 21/12/2021 - 07:30

      Yes it's possible. If the titles are accurate then the 4 that come in the kit have person vehicle detection while the individual units don't. You would need to plan where to put which ones based on expected traffic and triggers.

    • Elyxar on 21/12/2021 - 09:30

      The NVR will take any POE camera from Reolink. You can mix and match all you like. The ones with an A at the end have the AI feature built into the camera for tagging things as people or cars (mostly works). You could buy the cheapest 4 camera set 1080P and add a pair of 4K/8MP or even go 12MP for your most crucial areas. They will use up a lot more of your hard drive but will be better. I get 25 days of recording on the 2tb HDD from 1 x 4K camera before it starts recording over the earliest recording. You can expand the HDD.

      • 2023 on 22/12/2021 - 21:56

        On that, don't expand drives with standard pc, unless you want to be replacing them within 12months and like serious lag when reviewing footage.

    • Elyxar on 21/12/2021 - 09:36

      The NVR does support Smart detection. If the system has an A at the end that should mean that the cameras included in the package have the Smart detection (AI) built into them. So RLK-520D4-A does but RLK-520D4 does not.

      Check out Frigate NVR, which performs people and vehicle detection (+ more) and integrates into Home Assistant. Great project. It has camera recommendations… which are not Reolink!

      Personally I have 6x Reolink RLC-520A and they work well with Frigate and HA, but many Reolink models do not play nice with open standards as some of their internal streaming code is very old (2013 old).

      • jjsnacks on 21/12/2021 - 06:55

        What hardware are you running it on?

        • stokesy77 on 21/12/2021 - 07:05

          An old HP t730, running Debian and Docker for HA, Frigate and many other containers.

          It does need some processing power; any NUC-type computer will run Frigate, although the key is to get a Google Coral for the detection, which at the moment are hard to find. There are hardware recommendations in the docs too. eg. A Raspberry Pi will run a couple cameras for testing, but it's not recommended for long term use.

      In the app there's the ability to select the quality and that might help. I didn't realise this until much later as I thought it was set to the advertised MP by default which it was not.

    • Elyxar on 21/12/2021 - 09:42

      Unfortunately even a 4K camera isn't going to reliably read number plates at a distance. Reolink give you the best (daytime) picture quality for the price range. If you want to read things at range you will need to go to 12MP or get cameras with zoom capabilities and possible pan and tilt also.

    • Elyxar on 21/12/2021 - 09:50

      Eufy are battery/wifi cameras. Easy to install because no cables. They can miss things and you have to charge/change the batteries.
      A POE NVR system has network cables going from the recorder to each camera both powering the cameras and transmitting the picture/sound. Harder to install but will record every second from every camera connected. Can still false trigger on leaves and rain etc and can miss the occasional movement (in my experience) but it will still record it to the hard drive so you can view it if you know when or view the recording on high speed.

    also how do you run power to this camera? is it just a normal wall plug?

      That's for a different use case. If you can't run an ethernet then it will be more convenient, but, it costs twice as much.

      Wifi outdoor cameras are largely pointless as you need to run power to them, you may as well just run an ethernet cable.

        I have a lot of GPOs in my house, and wifi reaches everywhere comfortably, but the nearest ethernet port is on the modem in the living room. Also, you need PoE for these, so unless you already have a PoE router then you need to add in an injector or switch to power it. Finally, lots of outdoor wifi camera (not this one) are battery and solar - so no power required.

          I find I don't have any power points outside near were I want to put cameras. I could run a cable from inside to outside but I'll always have a plug pack that runs out a window and someone could knock, or just unplug because they want a power point. Basically just a crappy solution overall. On the flip side passive PoE injector pairs are only $2.50 on ali express or $6 for a 48V injector. Note you technically need to buy power bricks anyway as they don't come with one. From there you can get an 8 port PoE switch for $100 or go the DVR for $200. If you get a kit the DVR is probably cheaper than that. Going cabled also saves constant bandwidth over your wifi (assuming you have a DVR). As for battery cameras, I take your point there but I'm not a big fan of battery cameras for various reasons. The only time I think wifi cameras are good is when you want to have one mobile inside the house or really just for indoors in general.
