I subscribed when I think he was at less than 10K or 20K subscribers I think and due to his reviews, I have been able to make my home surveillance decision purchases and now my home has more surveillance cameras than the "White House" :) You've come to LH and his reviews are not biased and as he states it the merchant product giveaway does not come with strings attached. He tells it like it is.

This is pretty good! How is the wifi connection at 5MP? Optical zoom is nice too, you will be able to see license plates with this. Night vision needs some improvement though, you can only see license plates and people clearly during the day. Also, no wind buffeting noise from the mic, probably because the mic is protected with a foam cover similar to pro mics to eliminate wind buffeting.

E1 Outdoor was first advertized with auto tracking. But now it's not shown as part of the specs. If you buy one it may not have auto tracking. I bought one several months ago. It did not have auto tracking. I was able to download a different firmware version that had it but I don't know if it's still available on Reolink site. Auto tracking works but sometimes stops far left/right and won't go back to preset position. I have to manually use the PTZ control to put it back to preset position. It also gets a little out of preset alignment sometimes and I have to recalibrate it. I hope Reolink fixes this with new firmware update. Also, it cannot look 90% straight down so it can't track someone walking directly underneath it close to a wall or around a corner. I agree the night vision isn't great, blurry with movement. I wish it was POE. Overall it's a good fun inexpensive PTZ camera and I like all the things it can do. Thanks LifeHackster for another great informative video. I want to buy a Reolink 823A PTZ when it's released assuming the auto tracking is dependable.

The new pricing is only if you go with the second tier of monitoring, which includes the internet backup (if your internet goes down, with an internet outage or so), the new base station can provide wifi to the cameras until your internet kicks back in (if you don’t have power outage to the cameras). That’s the only thing that makes it cost extra. If you keep your current plan, you can just use the new base station for an additional “Eero” and that’s it. That’s my understanding.
