Reolink Network Video Recorder

This NVR is optimized specifically for Reolink IP cameras. While it may support some ONVIF-compatible cameras, full functionality—especially advanced features like smart human and vehicle detection—is only guaranteed with Reolink hardware.

Exactly. Because the NVR uses Power over Ethernet (PoE), it transmits both data and power through a single Ethernet cable to each connected camera. This eliminates the need for individual power adapters at every camera location.

The 4TB storage capacity allows for continuous 24/7 recording across all 16 channels. The exact duration depends on your resolution settings and the number of cameras active, but for most standard setups, it provides several days to weeks of continuous high-resolution footage before overwriting the oldest data.

No, there are no recurring cloud fees. Because the system uses local storage, all your video data is saved directly to the NVR's hard drive. You can access and manage your footage remotely at any time using the Reolink mobile or desktop app without a subscription.

The NVR unit itself is designed for indoor use only and should be kept in a climate-controlled environment, such as a closet or office. While the cameras connected to it may be weather-rated for the outdoors, the recorder must remain protected from the elements.

Your security system will continue to function normally. The NVR records footage locally to its hard drive, so it does not rely on an active internet connection to capture or save video. You will only lose the ability to view live feeds or receive alerts remotely until your connection is restored.
