A Detailed Look at Each Reolink Camera Range
The Reolink Go range (Go Plus, Go Ultra) is the 4G battery-powered line: ideal for areas without WiFi or mains power. The Reolink Argus range (Argus 3 Pro, Argus Track) covers the WiFi battery segment, with rechargeable batteries and solar panel compatibility. The RLC range is the wired line: high-resolution PoE cameras for permanent installations, available as bullet (RLC-810A, RLC-823A) or turret (RLC-820A) formats. The Duo range features dual-lens cameras offering a 180° field of view from a single unit, available in WiFi or PoE versions.
The TrackMix range introduces AI-powered auto-tracking: the camera pans mechanically to follow a moving person or vehicle within its field of view. The Doorbell range (Video Doorbell WiFi, Video Doorbell PoE) covers video doorbells with wide-angle vision, two-way audio and visitor detection. Finally, the E1 line groups compact indoor cameras with motorised pan-tilt, ideal for affordable home interior surveillance.
How to Identify the Right Reolink Range for Your Project
Choosing the right range comes down to three key questions. First: do you have a power source at the installation point? If yes, choose the RLC (PoE) or E1 (WiFi mains) range for maximum reliability. If not, consider the Argus or Go ranges depending on WiFi availability. Second: do you have reliable WiFi coverage at that location? If not, only the Go (4G) range applies. Third: what is your primary use — perimeter surveillance, tracking moving subjects or access control at an entry point? Each answer points to a specific range and model within the Reolink ecosystem.
For multi-camera projects, combining a Reolink NVR with RLC PoE cameras is the most scalable and cost-efficient long-term solution. Start with 4 cameras and add further units up to 8 or 16 surveillance points on the same recorder, with no cloud subscription and local storage on a standard hard drive.
Frequently Asked Questions — Reolink Camera Ranges
Are all Reolink ranges managed from the same app?
Yes. The Reolink app (iOS and Android) manages all ranges without distinction. View Go, Argus, RLC and E1 cameras from a single dashboard with centralised notifications.
Can the Argus range operate without a solar panel?
Yes. Argus cameras run on their built-in battery alone (1 to 3 months depending on usage). The solar panel is an optional accessory to remove the constraint of manual recharging.
Do RLC PoE cameras require a specific Reolink NVR?
No. RLC cameras work with any standard PoE switch or ONVIF-compatible third-party NVR. The official Reolink NVR offers plug-and-play integration and simplified configuration.
Is the Duo worth the investment compared to two separate cameras?
The Duo covers 180° from a single installation point with a single power cable, reducing installation costs and the number of fixings required. Ideal for wide entrances, garages or facades with a central blind spot.
Does the TrackMix follow subjects automatically outdoors?
Yes. The Reolink TrackMix uses AI detection to follow a human figure or vehicle within its field of view, with motorised pan-tilt rotation — covering a far wider area than any fixed camera.
