REOLINK 4G LTE Cellular Security Camera Review! [2024]

[@KrAsHSSyKo]

The SIM card you used was it a specific sim from a phone carrier or one from REOlink

[@FeelinTechToday]

it was the sim card I used in my phone

[@nesto4evr]

That sounds pricey. So does that mean you need a SIM card if you have more than one camera? 🤔

[@FeelinTechToday]

yes, each camera needs a sim

[@chitollano]

@@nesto4evr you can get a tablet internet sim carriers have them for 10-30$. that would work

[@steveaga4136]

@@KrAsHSSyKo well that was a good question, one is replink one is scndisc same result

[@jacobsebastien3910]

I have the grey one exactly like this one coming in today 🎉

[@SkyBear0509]

Hi did you just use your regular monthly plan SIM card ? Or has to be a prepaid sim?

[@FeelinTechToday]

yes, I used my prepaid tmobile sim. but it works with any sim that has data.

[@shezbada9950]

Hi, can we manage 2 cameras on a single phone? Thanks

[@FeelinTechToday]

yes, but not at the same time

[@oneal94]

Their customer service is non existent. If it does not work out of the box, return it quickly. You will never get anyone on the phone to help you.

[@FeelinTechToday]

that's why I buy from Amazon. even if the brand customer service doesn't answer, Amazon will help. I had a vacuum cleaner that stopped working 2 years after purchase but the brand didn't exist by that time. Amazon refunded my money. 😇

[@TriHuynh-nc6wn]

You can email them. They will reply.

[@jaro8684]

Does reolink app has adverts like in cheap cameras?

[@FeelinTechToday]

not sure

[@tommycastro7357]

How much is it ? And how much does it cost for 12month service?

[@FeelinTechToday]

please check the link in the description

[@Salty_004]

So how do you put data on the SIM card?

[@FeelinTechToday]

it has a separate micro sd card

[@joemasello1464]

I don't understand the point of using wifi to review a 4g camera. Some areas only have cell tower data connection

[@FeelinTechToday]

this camera doesn't work with wifi at all, and in this video I used a Sim card.

[@XxPuffyWolfxX]

How much data usage were you seeing?

[@FeelinTechToday]

didn't really check since I'm on unlimited plan. but it only use data when you use the app to monitor the video feed

[@SkyBear0509]

@@FeelinTechTodaydoes it use data if you go to the app and check the recorded video?

[@FeelinTechToday]

yes, since it doesn't have any wifi module. any communication is through sim card

[@Sam24288]

if i ordered two cameras do i have to have two sims?

[@FeelinTechToday]

yes

[@jamietallman]

Ha, it shows 100% Wire Free on the box and immediately shows a wire for the solar panel.

[@FeelinTechToday]

it's wireless not wire free

[@robinenbernhard]

I was stupid enough to buy two of these pieces of 💩who needs a camera that starts recording 8 seconds after the trigger of motion detector waste of my money and the last time I take a recommendation from a test/ an advertorial.

[@aleksandrasvileisis1981]

The camera has internal memory. And although it starts showing 8s later - it doesn't lose a second. On the contrary. When motion is detected, it can start recording a few seconds before the motion occurs.

[@steveaga4136]

@ hi, thanks for that comment - it’s intriguing, trouble is that isn’t what happens on either of my units. Indeed if what you said were true( for my units) I would not have made the comment. And if the best way to recognise who came up the driveway is to see their arse dispersing as they leave the property the camera is brilliant, sadly being a bit old school I expected a picture of the face or at least the person coming onto the property not disappearing after, for an exaple. Delivery.

@@steveaga4136 Hi, (sorry for the bad English, it's not my native language, I'm writing with google translate), first of all, maybe it's a sensitivity issue: in reolink app, click settings >> Detection Alarm >> Sensivity > Motion Detection (must be 80-90%), Smart Detection Person (OR AND) Vehicle OR AND pet (70-80%) or maybe you don't want it to react to animals, it's a pet - 20-30%, save; Alarm Delay 0 , save ; Object size - you need to play here :) , save.
