The length was just about right given all the facets you covered and comparing the 2 models. Glad you didn't short the parts dealing with actual use and your take on what you found. Thanks. 👍😎
Good vids. I've been trying to decide between the Reolink E1 Pro, TP-Link C200, and Eufy. I knocked Eufy off the list. Does the desktop app work on the local network (ie: NOT over the internet)?
I got the e1 it kept on saying it couldn't connect to Wi-Fi but I think it was trying to connect to reolink. Not a bad camera for the price but like you say it has missing features of the other one
Hey Will, have you done a comparison of E1 vs Wyze 2? I couldn't find it on youtube. My main sticking point is the free cloud storage and if it's useful or not. I have the Wyze Cam and the 12-second clip and 5 minutes cooldown make this camera totally useless for me. Does Neolink's free cloud storage have the 12-second clip and the 5 minutes cooldown as well? I couldn't find anything on their website. I am looking to post these cameras on the front door to see who is coming in and out of the apt.
I haven't compared it with the wyze as I cant get hold of them in the UK I can't see anything about a cooldown period, but recording time depends on the camera and the quality - support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000641926-A-Brief-Introduction-about-Reolink-Cloud-Plan
Hi, the pro E1 has the FTP, the normal one not. What is the differences when you use the service? What are the limits? Only zoon? Or other services? Thanks.
The E1 Zoom has the zoom function, FTP, and RTSP/ONVIF support, the Zoom is also 5MP rather than the 3MP on the normal E1. The E1 doesn't have the FTP or RTSP/ONVIF - other than that they are the same camera
With your setup, why not run pi zero w's with pi cameras over MotionEye, there must be compatible libraries for HA. then you could backup too a main hard-drive? would be a much cheaper option buying the parts of Banggood +no subscription required. awesome video though, thumbs up from me
Thank you - personally I think it's just easier to buy a PTZ camera, than to use a pi zero + pi camera - much quicker to setup, and if people want the subscription its there - otherwise it's not hard to incorporate in blueiris etc
Decent camera. Terrible software! No way to access it's feed over t'interweb using it's IP address. Windoze 10 software almost impossible to figure out, like it was coded by a 6 year old. 14:40 presets. How? Have you tried it? Nope. No matter what combinations of buttons you click, it doesn't move. Figure out the desktop software, actually use it, then come back with an unbiased review. I'll look forward to that.
Hi @Skysurfer, you are able to access the E1 Zoom over the web using it's IP (either directly which gives you a similar interface to the desktop client, or using RTSP); this is not a feature on the E1 however. As for the desktop client, I have no problems with it (I am on mac so can't comment about the windows version) - it's easy to use and access settings. You are correct about presets - this is a feature available on the desktop client, but not available on the E1 or E1 Zoom as of yet - I'm not sure why that is, but you're right - it doesn't work on the E series. I hope this helps you :)
@@WillSurridgeTech Thanks for the reply, good points. I was putting the port number in the address, leave it off, just the IP, & you can get the server page up, but it's using Flash. So, not going to happen... They need to wake up to HTML5. Still no chance to use the presets on Windoze. It's in my hands, so I'll persevere... :-)
