I’m working with support to see if this can be fixed as my cameras are badly off focused at max view (VERY blurry) that being said once that issue is fixed I’d say the only upgrade needed for this would be not only PT for tricky but true PTZ for tracking. I hope they offer this option in a future update as I feel the video quality is awesome and would be even more awesome with good auto focusing and zoom tracking. Thanks for the review :)

My camera was doing okay but at some point after a firmware updated it now constantly goes out of focus when switching from daylight to night mode. Unless I manually refocus it the video is completely useless. Once refocused it stays in focus all night long and also stays in focus when transitioning to daylight mode. It seems it is only the transition from daylight to night mode that messes up the focus and it will never recover on its own without manual intervention.

Yes I completely agree with you, I have noticed the same thing. The only time the zoom function happens automatically is in Patrol mode where you can set the zoom level to the point you want to check but it is a static zoom whilst at that point then backs off to the zoom level set for the next point. What is really annoying is the Patrol mode does not continue once you set it and log out of the camera. Once you log out the Patrol mode stops and the camera reverts to the monitor point only and then tracks from there.

Hello Lifehackster! I dig your reviews. I felt compelled to subscribe so, I did. Mr. Lifehackster I am new to the surveillance camera hobby i.e lifestyle and I am learning as I go. I am in the market for outdoor surveillance cameras with great zooming. I am attracted to the Reolink RLC - 823A for its 16X zoom capability and clear picture. Your review on the Reolink RLC - 823A has me convinced this is the camera I want. However, sadly, I must have WIRELESS cameras that will utilize the wi fi in my house. Can you help me with any advise on high performance WIRELESS cameras that have great zoom and clarity that also records and takes snapshots? Cams that I can operate through my Android phone when I'm working out of town? Will using outdoor wireless cameras slow down the wi fi where I can not watch Netflix or use my laptop in my home? Will I need a stronger router? I apologize for all of these questions Mr. Lifehackster but, I'm not super knowledgeable about wi fi routers or outdoor wireless cams. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Ty mucho!

This would be good for rocket launching from cape Canaveral if it could track it.

No motion tracking, and audio quality is poor. Still waiting for another solution...

Bit disappointed in this camera, I purchased it thinking that I could set it on Patrol mode and it would continue in that mode until it was triggered by an event being either a person or car or pet and it would switch to tracking that object then when finished it would go back to Patrol mode but that doesn't happen. When the tracking finishes it then forgets it was in Patrol mode and simply goes back to its monitor point. Also regardless of an event or not the moment you set it on Patrol mode it will only stay on that mode so long as you are on the camera, the minute that you switch off of the App or the PC Client then Patrol mode stops and the camera goes back to the set monitor point.

Although I see great value in your pointing out this I feel that patrol mode is a big mistake. The camera motors will be over worked if you had it on patrol mode 24/7. The camera would probably last one year (understandably I might add)... Maybe that is why it is the way it is.
