Cellular Security/Trail Camera ReoLink GO PT Plus Review

[@mcmuskie2563]

Great explanation thank you!

[@JaseOutdoors]

Thanks for writing!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Thanks for the info. We are developing a chunk of land for summer RV use and was thinking this may be great to keep track of it during the winters while gone. Is it still doing a good job for you?

[@JaseOutdoors]

It's been the best cam so far! Seriously, I never have to touch it. Stays charged and working all year long!

[@grahamtomkins3467]

Good video. Did it Detect the squirrels and record them . Thank you

[@JaseOutdoors]

It has detected squirrels and rabbits, sometimes even bugs that fly past it. Hah

[@grahamtomkins3467]

Thank you. I live in England. Was not sure to get the new keen one. But this one is £100 cheaper so will go for it thank you again

[@JaseOutdoors]

Hope it works well for ya!

[@francisokeoma2543]

Please dear, can you do video of reolink duo 4g camera?

[@JaseOutdoors]

I'll see what I can do but I have a few other cameras to do first. Thanks for writing!

[@jamesjackson7463]

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VERIZON… I spent 2 hours on the phone today attempting to add two REOLINK GO PT Plus cameras to my Verizon account. The IMEI numbers on the cameras would not be accepted on line with Verizon and I got the error message to contact customer support. Customer support told me Verizon would not support these cameras on their wireless network and told me to try two different cameras the names for which the Verizon tech provided. If you want to use your Verizon account to manage these cameras, look for another camera!!

[@JaseOutdoors]

That is correct 😁

[@MT-bz4gz]

I have an extra active phone sim card that i am not using much. Can i use this sim card or do i need to get a camera specific sim card?

[@JaseOutdoors]

You can use whatever sim card you'd like.

[@petraammann-m7g]

Really helpful review - thank you! I love where you live... all the deer an bunnies - too cute!

[@JaseOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@pauljohn6546]

flexiboom sim cards are NO!!!!! good. I constantly have to take the battery out and put it back in order for it to work...

[@JaseOutdoors]

Hmm... Interesting. Haven't ran into that issue

[@doraphillips1462]

trouble shoot to get camera to connect to iphone. the camera is recording as we have check the card. it will not connect to iphone, galaxy android not any one. plz help

[@JaseOutdoors]

I'm not sure how to help, sorry. I would contact customer support and see what they can do

[@bonddav007]

the past few weeks i have been having trouble connecting. have you had a issues?

[@JaseOutdoors]

I'm having the worst time ever! Hah. Prolly couldn't even buy a turkey at this point

[@peterjones4163]

Best Reolink Go PT Plus review I have watched out of 20 videos. Thankyou You live in a beautiful spot 👍

[@JaseOutdoors]

Greatly appreciate that!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great review. I just got one of these. I can't figure out where the recordings go when I manually tap the record button. Maybe just onto the internal card? But I can't seem to access them from the app or the cloud service. Any idea? Thanks. -Ed

[@JaseOutdoors]

It should put them in a folder called 'capture' in your gallery, where all your phone photos are stored. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@scottkepler672]

Does it light up red at night with an IR light

[@JaseOutdoors]

yea, has low glow LED's

[@basilkey2949]

Had mine out a couple month's now and it works great. The play back sucks. Be ready to set awhile if you try it. EVERTHING ELSE works great. I have 3 to full bars all the time. Always have to try to connect 2 or 3 times before it connects But it connects. Do not expect fast play back to see what triggered the camera. I have mine so high so the local kids (16 feet) can't get to it so easily that it only alerts me if something is right under it. I would like detection to be better. The solar panel has done great this summer to keep the battery full. Will have to see what winter does here in Alabama.

[@basilkey2949]

I have mine so high that it hardly give me an alert. The spypoint cam lets me know if anything is there. The spypoint is higher also than the last one. ( Destoryed with a stick by kids from the ground) The kids destroyed my last spy point cam that was lower. The reolink works as it should and play back has got better. I have it so high that the local kids can not get to it easly also.

[@deanhuggett5613]

I get 100G of data per month yes 100 gyg and never use anything near that, do you have to put a sim card and the sd card into the camera gt plus to use it via my smartphone or can it be used without a sim card thanks and ps great video 👌

[@dalewalker2379]

I have 5 of the reolink go pt's. Had them for a year now. I use Redpocket sim cards at $10 each a month for 1gb. I camoed my cams and mounted them and the solar panel to a treated board with a strap on it. That way, I can move them any time I want.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing! I really like these cams for trail cameras! I still have to camo mine. Good tip to mount them on a board. Thanks for watching!

[@basilkey2949]

Thanks to you I am doing the same to a board. Great idea. I'm going to add 2 straps to mount it. Simple and fast.

[@basilkey2949]

I did the same with the board. But two straps and an external antenna on top. I put the solar panel on a small board with a strap so I could mount it in a better place for sun. Works great.

[@dearchery4149]

How high can this be mounted on a tree? Could it be 15 feet and still get good video?

[@dalewalker2379]

@@dearchery4149 15 ft. Is a little high. I'd recommend 8-10 feet. Any higher and your just shortening it's motion range

[@toddhines-e9n]

Can you send the pictures to a cloud

[@JaseOutdoors]

The videos are stored on the cloud

[@toddhines-e9n]

@@JaseOutdoors okay thanks

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Glad to hear your voice is recovering well. Good review on the Plus. We’ll call you the deer whisperer if you continue to walk up on deer like that 😁

[@JaseOutdoors]

Thanks! Yea voice is doing much better! haha, yea I'm sure he won't do that 4 years from now, prick! lol Thanks for taking the time to watch! It was a bit long

[@ronin_11b94]

Is there a camera that I can buy with no subscription? How is there no such thing? This is why china is better than us.

[@JaseOutdoors]

No, not really. There are some trail cameras that give 100 free pics per month, but that's about it

[@WildNatureMedia]

Thanks for this excellent review! I need a WiFi camera that does the same thing. The area where I want to set this up doesn't have any cellular service. I'll be beaming a WiFi signal from a cabin for about 1,000 feet. I welcome your input. Thanks again!

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@WildNatureMedia]

@@JaseOutdoors Do you have a recommendation for a WiFi camera? Like I mentioned, I don't have cell service in the area I want to deploy the camera. This will be for wildlife only.

[@davidolds1972]

Maybe you can tell me how the heck to get in touch with the reolink people. I can't get them to message me ,call me. nothing.

[@JaseOutdoors]

I've only ever delt with them through email and they've been pretty responsive, but not for everyone I guess. I'd just go to their support section on their website and email them and keep emailing them. Sorry I don't have a better answer

[@altonreid9726]

Fantastic review. Have 2 GO PT Plus and solar panels on the way.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that! Yeah solar panels are the way to go!

[@barrysurdex5521]

Is there any way to view the videos from your PC? Also does the cloud use your data up when viewing your videos? Trying to figger out a way to let my dad view them also without using data up. Thanks

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yes you can view them from a PC! Can monitor several cams at once. You use data everytime you watch a video or a live view. You can download the videos to your phone and share them from there

[@justinflott5133]

Tough question: I wanted to get 2 Reolink Go PT plus cameras…. They are out of stock and will not be in stock prior to my trip to my property. (9hr drive) if you had to choose would you get 2 Go Plus, 2 Go PT, or 1 of each.

[@JaseOutdoors]

The Plus is probably best bet, but if u have a big area and want to be able to look around, I do like the GO PT's

[@underdogoutdoors]

Great to hear your voice is back!

[@JaseOutdoors]

Still cracked a few times. Lol. But yea, it's back! Appreciate that bud!

[@thawesnerd]

thanks for your efforts will the camera move around by itself and track the movement upon detecting

[@JaseOutdoors]

No, it does not track the movement. I think there's some out there that does but not this one

[@justinflott5133]

Looks like I might have missed my opportunity to get a couple of these. They’re out of stock…..

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yes, but they told me they should be back in 2 weeks or so

[@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210]

great video. I am looking for a great trail cam. I have ATT iPhone Any idea best place to buy and approx price?

[@JaseOutdoors]

So you're looking for a cellular camera?

[@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210]

@@JaseOutdoors yes sir. ....i had a Arlo cellular security camera but it stopped working. Im looking for a cellular trail cam that sends me photos to my phone--hunting also ...ATT. thanks so much!

[@jerryrfields]

You did not mention that the camera has a red infared glow at night. That is important. Also, it has no GPS.

[@scottkepler672]

That's what I was wondering .not good

[@JaseOutdoors]

It's a low glow infrared. Hardly noticable

[@ANTLERONE1]

where can I get a REOLINK KEEN, camo model?

[@JaseOutdoors]

In the description to the Keen cam I posted, there's a link you can preorder them. Not sure if they started shipping yet or not.

[@justinflott5133]

Awesome. How big of a micro Sd can you put in the camera?

[@JaseOutdoors]

I know it takes a 64gig card but not sure what the max is. I'll see if I can ask them and get a better answer. The files do end up being pretty small so a 32 gig card does last a pretty good while

[@jamiegoguen7384]

The official website says 128 Gig max

[@JaseOutdoors]

👍👊

[@justinflott5133]

I hope that all of the pt plus models come with a solar panel that is black on the back along with a black cord and mount

[@JaseOutdoors]

The solar panel I received is all black but the camera itself will be getting a custom paint job by me. Any color in the woods will be better than white. Hah

[@mikefarhat2230]

Can you talk through this camera?

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yes, you can but there's a delay that makes it a little difficult to have a conversation. But it's good to yell at people or things. Hah

[@phillipketron9632]

How well does the tracking work. The video included doesn't appear to track well. Do you have better tracking video? Thank you

[@JaseOutdoors]

Not exactly sure what you mean by tracking. The cam doesn't follow the movement in unfortunately

[@phillipketron9632]

OK, I thought when your video started following the UPS van it had motion tracking. Thank you for the response. I appreciate your video!

[@JaseOutdoors]

I think ReoLink has a version that can track motion though. Not sure what model

[@jugganaut33]

@@JaseOutdoors: any Reolink with “trackmix” in the name can follow vehicles or people

[@MrGreeklion]

Once a video file is sent from the camera, can it be viewed even if the camera goes down (loses power, memory card stolen, etc..) Or does it rely on that connection to access the memory card stored in the camera to work?

[@JaseOutdoors]

Good question! It can be view if the cam is off. Basically they're uploaded to the cloud and you view download them from there. Thanks for watching!

[@raymassey8178]

@@JaseOutdoors there is a additional fee for storing in the cloud

[@JaseOutdoors]

Nope

[@jsecure1569]

How does the camera work in brushy areas? Does it pick up a lot of movement of the brush during windy times?

[@JaseOutdoors]

There is a sensitivity slider and a false motion button that helps with that, but I mostly use mine in food plots so I haven't had that trouble

[@basilkey2949]

@@JaseOutdoors It works much like a deer cam with motion. Has to be clear of anything that moves. And you can adjust it some in the cam.

[@_manasikara]

A great review mate. Thanks.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that!

[@davidludtke9606]

I just checked all three of my Reolink that I bought and have never worked properly at this latest one you have in your hand has never worked the video has been bleached out where you can’t see what the images and I just checked all three of my real link on my phone it’s 3:30 in the morning and none of them connected all say connection failed and that’s what I get 90% of the time the new one of your hand does connect but no video worth a crap I have 120 feet away on my gate one and it does connect probably 20% of the time

[@JaseOutdoors]

Hmm... Did u try a different sim card? I'm guessing you don't have great reception. I have trouble connecting to this camera because it's at a very low reception spot. I'd try contacting them and see what they say. Hope there's a solution for ya

[@stevenwagner4790]

They need it in camo!!!

[@JaseOutdoors]

They have it! Look for my video with Keen Ranger by ReoLink

[@Dr3am0fLight]

Thank you for this great and detailed review! Just ordered one PT Plus and wanted to know how the app and the interface with its possibilities looks like. This was very helpful. Do you think the camera could last even longer without the IR Leds turned on at night? Thanks!

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that! I'm not really sure about lasting longer because I've only had mine for a year and a half and I've never had any problems yet. Hope it works well for ya!

[@Dr3am0fLight]

@@JaseOutdoors OK nice. Yeah it does help, thanks!

[@basilkey2949]

You must have the IR Leds turned on at nigh to record at night. If you get good Sun for 4 hours or more the cam works great. Me, I do not log on and just set there and watch. That runs the battery down. I long on and look around then log off.

[@Dr3am0fLight]

@@basilkey2949 There are some streetlights at this place where I want to place it. So maybe I don't need to use the IR. But thank you for your experience with this cam. Yeah, that's all I wanna do. Just watch maybe for a minute or two and then log off. So it should be good I guess.

[@basilkey2949]

The IR lights only come on when needed. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. The cam use very little power to detet motion when just setting. Once motion is deteted then the ( At night ) IR lights come on and it starts recording and send an notication if set up. All this is using more power. Then back to setting to deteting for mointion using very little power.

[@flunsphar]

Hi - any way of shielding the red lights at night? Also if I use camo tape can I tape the Annennae and leave the end open? Great video thanks
