If OzBargain led you to make a purchase pls throw a comment in, as id like to push for an OzB code from them but sort of need to know how much bargaining power I have entering that discussion

Mods if there's an appropriate avenue for this otherwise please advise

Up again along with a bunch of other deals to be had.

Still THE cheapest entry point to the ColorX range to date, and a very capable camera for the price.

As has been noted in the past, and stands true for any ball va turret cameras of the same breed, this doesn't quite perform as well as a CX810 under low light. However I wouldn't recommend this as your basis for your security system either (for all the reasons you'd buy it, it's cheap, plastic and sub optimal for capturing light - which means regular deals till they clear out the stock)

Code is good for 5% sitewide. I have at my disposal 6% for select products but (despite their use in past deals) I can't post because rulez. I suggest you hit up your favourite reolink friend and see if they can help out if that 1% extra is a must-have! (they don't stack with the above code either).

Broadly generic Reolink 30-42% off sale items, check site for more deals. Seems items are on 24hr countdowns but 29 more days seems to be the sale period based on Renewed countdowns (otherwise known as semi educated guess work ).

For those who like real bargains Reolink Renewed has some new faces. On offer are;
RLC510a
RLC810a (Blk)
RLC823a
and as always
2k E1 Pro's for peanuts ($46-7 after discount, less in qty).
For those that don't know, Reolink Refurbished means an As New, unused product (guaranteed), with full warranty. Either carton damage, returned intact, sold then cancelled etc. items, QC'd and packaged in plain boxes. These aren't used goods as one would usually expect.

    What happened to Reolink on AliExpress? The official Reolink Store shows store specific coupons to collect, but 0 items.

    That's where I bought all my stuff from in recent months…

      Currently not on sale? Await the next?
      Very rare there's crossover between the two in terms of competition for price. AliExpress is also brilliant at providing model numbers in 0 locations. With something like E1 range, with 2 series identically named, 8 products I think now, all with varying capabilities, made me shudder.
      Outdoor CX however, you won't see it on AliExpress, nor cheaper CX options

      • team teri on 02/10/2025 - 10:35

        It's just weird. Their AliExpress store shows zero items that ship to AU, but plenty to other locations.

        In terms of price: I got a CX810 for USD63 (~AUD 95), and it qualified for ~15% cashback back then. Similar price for Duo 2V. Can't see anywhere close to those deals from the AU shop.

          At least compare apples for apples.

          Last AliExpress price
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/920383

          Currently $106-7.

          2v would've been at least 20% greater than a CX810, far from similar. If you wish to say I'm wrong upload your invoice screenshot ahead of time, and I'll stand corrected.

          You will rarely see concurrent sales events between the two suppliers, certainly not with the same products. That said I'd expect AliExpress store to be quiet for the month and hit rather hard with everything else in Octobers sales

            @parad0x: Looks like we're talking past each other.

            I never implied that I can get a better price right now for any of the products you've listed.

            I did however, after taking into account cashbacks, get much better prices for the products I actually wanted (NVR, CX810, Duo 2V, 810A, 810WA) in August and September via AliExpress.

            Being a patient person, I would have been happy to wait, assuming they sell again via AliExpress.

            Based on @Clear's comment below, that may or may not happen… In that case I may or may not get that additional camera that is a nice to have but not essential for my system. I am quite glad though that I've got almost everything I needed, and all via AliExpress.

            • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 12:08

              @team teri: To some extent id agree. Actual cost when coming out of the manufacturing region will always win out (but the list price as per my apples reference), has a few dollars in favour of the wait, evidence of those strings having tightened. Amazon is always a dark horse never to be counted out for a freak sale - my feeling from my dealings with the company is Amazon is where we will be hunting future reolink specials

            @parad0x: As to the Duo 2V, since you doubt either my honesty or my maths, here's the screenshot

            Part of what is shown as Aliexpress Coupons was their internal cashback from the purchase of the Reolink NVR, part were genuine (available to everyone) Aliexpress Coupons. Hence the 'similar to the USD63' price.

            • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 12:10

              @team teri: 81usd VS…. 60 odd right?

                @parad0x: What do you mean?

                $81 was the headline (sale) price. Brought down to $73 by a Reolink store coupon. Brought down to the low $60s by Aliexpress coupons available to everyone at that time.

                Brought down to an actually paid USD49 by Aliexpress cashback - from another Reolink purchase.

                Then another ~15% cashback from TopCashback on the USD49…

                • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 12:17

                  @team teri: Apples with apples. I don't quote my affiliate prices as savings, as like coins and coupons vary from month to month, price of one relative to the other removes personal level fluctuations (sure if you nabbed it cheap kudos) but I don't see that as the yard stick for comparison due to the fluctuations from one day to the next or person to another.

                    @parad0x: The $49 would be what you describe.

                    The $63 was available to everyone on that day (and ~15% cashback off that). Simple as.

                      @team teri: If you purchased both cameras at the same time, would the price be <20% variance. That's the closest comparison you can hope to call such, as next month particularly will probably out do previous months

                • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 12:19

                  @team teri: Do remember we (I tend to believe) are the minority who squeeze every available offering so a subset based on that doesn't represent the whole

                  @team teri: I didn’t have as big an “internal cash back” as you, but my 2v purchased from AliExpress on 16/6/25 was listed at US$74.83 and cost US$55.72 after coins and coupons.

                  And that discount was on the skinny side compared to various cams I’ve got through AliExpress over the past year. Checking through my reams of purchases, below is the cheapest US price (add circa 50% for AUD) I’ve paid, before any cashback rebates, of which there’s been many;

                  8ch NVR + 4x 820A - $249.05
                  36ch NVR - $104.82

                  830A - $64.39

                  CX810 $36.57
                  CX410 $46.56
                  White wifi doorbell - $55.63
                  Black wifi doorbell - $56.41
                  HomeHub - $60.20

                  Argus Ultra + solar panel - $60.00
                  Duo 3 - $50.90

                  AliExpress is the only place to buy Reolink. Here’s hoping they replenish their stock soon. You can never have enough cameras, including the countless unboxed spares…

                    @UncleRico: @UncleRico Thanks for that. Very impressive list.

                    The closest I got to any of your purchases might have been the 36Ch NVR. I paid US$116, got US$14 internal Aliexpress cashback (which was used on the order for my Duo 2V), and AUD30 on Top Cashback.

                    I hope I don't need too many spares, with 2 1/2 years warranty.

                    Re stock: since they ship from AU, I have to assume it's the same stock they sell via their website and Amazon. Just a matter of allocation to different sales channels.

                    Let's hope for the best. I've got a bay window that isn't fully 'on camera'. I'd need 2 more cameras or another Duo to cover it. But with roller shutters those windows aren't the easiest entry point for a burglar, hence the lower priority.

                    • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 17:49

                      @team teri: It’s 100% the same stock from the same warehouse as you get when buying direct from Reolink or Amazon. Delivered with identical wrapping in under 48 hours (to Sydney at least). Don’t feel bad about my bargain basement pricing - it led me to buy more than I’ll ever need and I only listed the cheapest price I paid for each model - there were many occasions I paid a bit more.

                      I’ve been holding out for a couple of CX820 since their release, but the couple of times they’ve briefly showed up on AliX, they disappeared before I could do my coins and coupon shuffle. Since my previous deals have averaged 30-40c in the dollar for pricing - and have now fitted out 4 houses (albeit one with largely redundant solar battery cams), it looks like I may have reached the end of the road. In my low priority areas, I’ll drop in some of my spare 510A and 520A’s. As long as you’ve got decent ambient or IR lighting, they’ll do a job.

      Reolink are enforcing stricter pricing control on their products. The big issue they were having is that people in Australia were buying from AliExpress instead of local channels like Amazon where they've invested a lot of time and money. Not to mention Aliexpress and Amazon have seperate internal teams at Reolink that would be competing with KPIs etc. I know the Amazon team hated the AliExpress team shipping their AU stock cheaper.

      • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 12:00

        That's the thing people miss, Reolink is not one whole with many sales locations but a trident now with a beyond obvious Amazon shift recently even from front line prrsales @ reolink.com. I was asked twice in two separate conversations today if I'd taken a look at Amazon…. Ahhh no, dealz be here right now so Amazon wasn't my goto choice

      • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 17:53

        @Clear We should feel partially responsible, my friend! There were certainly plenty of great deals available over the last couple years. I doubt I would have entered into their ecosystem if I hadn’t stumbled on one of your early deals, and I like to think we’ve helped a few other purchasers grab or grow some cost-effective CCTV systems in the meantime. I never benefited from any affiliate pricing or commissions but I did land some very solid consumer-grade gear.

        @parad0x If you need proof positive of the value in discount codes for the OzBaragin channel, check back to some of the former deals listed. There’s literally hundreds of upvotes from people who invested in the ecosystem. Any small over-and-above discount (like 6% which I’m sure you could list in the comments?) will help motivate the thrifty amongst us…

          • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 18:51

            @parad0x: You don’t what, exactly?

            I’m not having a go at you, but some of your comments (such as those in your back and forth with @team teri) are difficult to decipher. I love seeing people post a good Reolink deal and will be disappointed if their use of the AliExpress channel is ending, but some of your comments regarding “apples with apples” pricing and “this is an actual sales event”, not part of a rotation are… peculiar. We’ve seen this same pricing many times before and it is far from the cheapest that the ColorX range have been available at.

    PoE gubbins must be expensive compared to Wi-Fi gubbins …

    As has been noted in the past, and stands true for any ball va turret cameras of the same breed, this doesn't quite perform as well as a CX810 under low light.

    I've been looking at the CX820. Perhaps I should research the CX810 as well.

    Seems items are on 24hr countdowns but 29 more days seems to be the sale period based on Renewed countdowns (otherwise known as semi educated guess work ).

    I've been tracking some prices for a couple of weeks now, and they have different discounts, but usually end-up within a couple of dollars. They often remove discounts on the weekend …

    • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 10:18

      This is an actual sale event as opposed to the regular rotations that occur

      x1x bullet
      x4x dome

      MegaPixel xx

      xx Special features (zoom level, led types, spotlight etc)

      xxx a- AI enabled

      That covers the typical reolink range naming conventions, which become less useful with each Argus Atlas or other easily confused similar named new variant that is chaos, but consumerism at play

    Any recommendations on a battery powered outdoor camera?

    Don't need all the bells and whistles, just want something fairly basic that alerts me when people are detected (preferably without a compulsory subscription), and lasts a decent while before needing a re-charge.

    • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 11:15

      Reolink, spend what you can afford, never worry about subs, never worry about battery (always purchase with solar panel)
      Argus Pt Go might be the cheap entry option. Head to the website and click battery powered cameras et voila. Honestly, cheapest will have more bells and whistles than you'll need but that's a hard to avoid consequence of consumerism as put forth by our friendly authoritarian/totalitarian neighbours. If you want the new wireless battery free model you must also have the lot upto said feature

    • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 17:36

      Argus 3 Pro is the pick of the bang for buck bunch. Much better than the Argus 2E which lacks lights and decent night vision, or the Argus 4 Ultra which is great but 8mp is not a huge improvement for the extra price premium. Beyond that it’s the law of diminishing returns where you start paying serious money for a more advanced battery cam when you would get a much better outcome paying a cable to mount a POE or wifi cam. If you want to squeeze extra utility out of any Argus cam, save some bucks and just get the cam without the 3w/5w panel and buy a $10 / 10w solar panel with USB-C fitting from AliX and set the sensitivity on the cam to max and it will record virtually every movement and seldom run out of battery. I’ve upgraded all of my original Argus’s and got tolerable results for a family member who was adamant they didn’t want a hard-wired solution.

      As always, POE and wifi are infinitely better for pre-recording incidents, rather than what a battery camera sees 4-5 seconds after it wakes up. And the Reolink NVRs have an undocumented feature where any 8ch system can have a bonus battery cam whilst still filling 8 spots with wifi or POE cams. Can be very handy if you have a nearby tree or pole and what a wide angle shot peering back at your premises from somewhere where cabling isn’t viable.

      • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 18:53

        Good tip on the panels, I've never thought to look because they're not my target but I don't imagine reolink selling a $20 solar add on which is more than enough for an upgrade as you stated.

        That 8ch hole, only for 8s? I assume somewhat documented (reddit and the like, I took undocumented as formally) they're obviously aware, but it must be by design right?

        • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 18:56

          Yeah, it’s an undocumented feature - so may not work depending on how much bandwidth your 8 cams are consuming, but I’m yet to find anyone who tried it on current hardware without success.

          They actually have 13 channels available on the NVR8. 8 dedicated, 4 secondary channels for dual lens cams like the Trackmix or Duos, and the undocumented extra channel which can only be used by unwired connections - ie. wifi or solar battery. Plenty of folk use this bonus channel for wifi doorbells in addition to 8 POE or wifi cams.

          • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 19:02

            @UncleRico: Ahhh so not just battery but Wifi encompassing, handy to know, thanks for the tidbits! (didn't know about the secondary, but it makes sense. Be royally peeved to get a 4ch DVR because you spent extra and bought dual channel cameras. Do you have a duo? I suspect now that two independent channels are available as though they were individual cameras (or less functional?) and no stitching done in the NVR?

            • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 19:11

              @parad0x: Early firmware versions showed Duos as two distinct channels, but current versions stitch the two feeds together and display as one. My understanding is that whilst the different versions appear differently onscreen, both methods consume one of the extra four secondary channels to achieve this. I only know this from forums since I only have Duos (2v and 3 POE) and NVRs (8ch and 36ch) with the current hardware version and firmware.

              • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 19:12

                @UncleRico: Understood, all seems logical to be that way, but thanks again. And hey, that's software progress from reolink that may have actually happened!

                Just saw maybe bandwidth limitations on the 9th? What makes you say that? Sorry for the questions but you've been a trove of reolink undocumented features :D

                • UncleRico on 02/10/2025 - 19:32

                  @parad0x: Just the fact that it’s not a documented feature, so would seem logical that it may not always work. Whilst every report I’ve seen of it had it working fine, one theory about why Reolink wouldn’t spruik it themselves, is that having a heap of more fully featured or higher megapixel cams, could consume extra resources / processing power / memory / bandwidth required to utilize the bonus channel. Note also that plenty of people have tried to add a 10th cam, but I’ve never heard of it working, so hard limit seems to be 9 feeds with at least one via solar or powered wifi (since it only has 8 POE ports).

    • parad0x on 02/10/2025 - 11:38

      I'd suggest you refer to the manual for POE functionality to start with, but yes most POE cameras require power provided for them as single injectors aren't a terribly common way to deploy cameras. Why increase the cost of every camera by $20 if a $40 product is good for 8 and 90% get stuck with the bugger who installs them (I have more Unifi PoE injectors than I care to even sell)

      • Dvbargain on 02/10/2025 - 11:56

        I'm not quite understanding your response at all parad0x.

        I understand PoE, I have multiple Reolink PoE cameras hooked up to a PoE network switch.

        So what I'm hearing is they aren't PoE compatible and they don't come with an individual PoE splitter to use a PoE cable and split it at the cable end into data/12v DC input to the camera.

        Bugger.

        Thanks to the other dude who linked a similar PoE camera

          Yes, according to the specs (looks like for across the E1 series) if you want it to go PoE you will need a PoE splitter.

      The closest camera to the one in the OP (ie. PTZ, ColorX sensor and PoE) is the CX820.

      However that is a 4K sensor as well, so the base price is ~$155.

        Manual ptz also…

        Confirmed no poe ? Just to cross the box on my suspicion

        I stopped being lazy and rtfmd

    yeah better go with POE otherwise you need two cables to each camera (unless you want to use WIFI which may be unreliable outdoor)

    cannot find some info about this camera. Does anyone know if you need subscription to view all videos? and can solar panel connect to it?

    • klaw81 on 02/10/2025 - 14:15

      No subscriptions required, but optional if you want to store footage on the cloud service rather than on a local storage device (NVR, SD card, NAS etc.)

      This device requires WiFi or ethernet cable for data. It requires DC 12v power. Solar panel is not possible without an external battery.

    the $5 off code stopped working by the time I entered my payment details… do I have to hand in my ozb license if I just buy it anyway without the $5 off?

  • Sheepishly on 02/10/2025 - 13:03

    How is this compared to the Xiaomi outdoor camera that was posted yesterday?

    • tik tok on 02/10/2025 - 19:24

      Can you post a link? I can't seem to find it.

    Random request but anyone know of a Reolink camera to mount onto roof of my house (colorbond) and view over back fence (about 10m away). We have an access track at the back and people have had thefts from people using it at night time.

    I purchased previously due to ozb reviews / discussion.
