$10 cheaper than Reolink's website.
Seems like a good deal.
Compatible with HA
CamelCamelCamel.
You’re a Google search away from getting the answer yourself.
I'm with you on this one, Eth.
Anyone would reasonably expect someone to do their own research into the details of my HA compatibility statement instead of expecting randoms on a deal thread to provide it before purchasing.
Ademos probably lives a pretty frustrating life…
Mate, a tamagotchi is "compatible with HA" if you do some light soldering. A smart fridge is "compatible with HA" if you're doing the API bridge. It's an overly broad statement, and HA is not a turn-key ecosystem like google home, etc.
It's entirely on you that you didn't define the meaning of "compatible" in context of a system designed for extensibility.
In what sense?
There's a full-featured and official Reolink integration in Home Assistant - I assume that's what they're referring to.

Fantastic info, an officially supported plugin? Yeah that's pushing me over the line, I think. Neat.
I have reolink cameras set up as a separate dashboard in HA and it gives you still images that update every 10 seconds. You can also utilise the motion sensors in the cameras as sensors in HA as triggers for whatever you want. Pretty neat, but i use the Reolink to view my cameras remotely.
@Dan Stennett: Might not be the right place, but do you have a preferred tutorial for getting the go2rtc view to be displayed on a dashboard?
I have go2rtc installed as an add-on and it seems to be working fine, but I am not sure I'm seeing the WebRTC feed or one direct from the camera when I view the dashboard.
@klaw81: Here's a pretty good vid that explains how to set it up.

Has been working perfectly for me with no lag.
I also use the frigate card which shows which protocol it's using to stream to the card
Pedestrians will hate the camera and lights following them at night.
The visual equivalent of saying "keep on walking…" haha
You can tell the camera to ignore people who are outside specified areas, if you want.
You can also adjust the camera's responses to motion/people detection so it only uses IR at night and doesn't spotlight people as they walk along the footpath.
Does this still not support the patrol function?
Na I have this on my parents house and it is the only downside imo
I have the eufy floodlightcam s330 which has the patrol/cruise mode but not exactly the same camera
Can it capture number plates on the street (20m)?
What is the difference between the one on ebay?

Amazon model #: PCDUOB8K01
ebay model #: PCTMXPT4K01
I've tried to google and look on the official Reolink website but couldn't find the model numbers.
The Amazon listing appears to have the wrong model number, and/or a lot of websites are using copy/pasted incorrect information.
A search indicates that model PCDUOB8K01 might be Reolink's new Duo 3 camera, but there appears to be some conflicting information around.

It’s a decent camera. We have the wifi version. Lately it’s been disconnecting. Still troubleshooting if it’s a router or camera issue. As often the router or wifi signal needs the restart not the camera.
I like the motion detection alarm siren. If anyone walks down my driveway at night, jumps the gate and gets too close to the house, an alarm will go off and the spotlight will follow em. The AI makes it so it doesn’t do it with animals
In what sense? As you can make HA do almost anything with almost any device if you're savvy. Does it have built in integrations?
