Reolink Go with Live View! Wireless! (Review) 

Very good review with good info. Been checking into the reolink for a while for nuisance wildlife work but i think your review has convinced me to go ahead and get one. Thanks

I manage several farms and have five of these cameras. I've found them to be very reliable and easy to use. They've survived two northern Illinois winters without issue. 1. Go to a T-mobile store and have the SIM card activated on the spot with the camera. One of the main complaints with these cameras is the initial cellular set up. 2. The solar panel only needs a few hours a day to charge so it doesn't need to have the perfect angle to catch light. The battery is quite large and can go without charging for a month. 3. The camera doesn't have the same response time and range as a dedicated hunting camera. It can be used for hunting but it is really a security camera. This doesn't bother me since I don't use it for hunting. Before buying REOlink I investigated using cellular hunting cameras and found them to cost twice as much with features I didn't need. 4. The camera and solar panel are surprisingly inconspicuous. I thought they'd be obvious but aren't. 5. Get the cloud subscription package and skip the SD card. The video gets sent straight to the cloud and it is easy to review and download.

Very well done Jason. Thanks for sharing.

Great video I just got a reolink go PT.Giing to set it up tomorrow.The hunting farmer sold me on it👍💯

Thanks for talking about the sim card. This information is really helpful.

Liked your video and your demeanor, got talked into a 2 gig plan at T-Mobile as it seems the only choice now. I will be shopping for a cheaper way now, thanks.

Jase, great review. Checking it out now! Good hunting.

For the Sim card plan, I got a tablet data plan from my phone company for an extra $10 a month for unlimited data which was great because I have the free seven day cloud storage. I recommend that you activate your free seven day cloud storage it makes it a lot easier to access the video footage and it gives you a thumbnail.

Great review. May look in to one of these for our house down south

Greetings from the US. Thank you for the helpful video. Great camera and alarm system to boot. My pre-recorded warning message is: THAT'S A DAMNED GOOD WAY TO GET SHOT. LEAVE NOW!!!

Great job with this review 👍

I don't know why more hunters like you aren't excited about the talking feature! Have you never had a camera stolen? Getting live feed and then being able to yell at the dude trying to steal your camera would be super useful!

I bought one and plan to buy another so that the two cameras can watch each other in my pole barn. I am hopeful that by placing them to watch each other it will make it impossible for a thief to come from behind to steal one without being seen. And I do like the speaker feature because it works like an intercom. When a family member can't find something, I can tell them where to look using the camera which saves me a 3 mile trip to the barn. Thanks for your video. I had no clue how to get a sim card for this camera. Reolink should have been more helpful with that in their booklet.

Thanks for sharing brother

Be aware that you might need a Sim Card Adapter to that the Sim Card fits snugly. I have a Google Fi Sim and if you insert it without an adapter it fits poorly and likely won't work. Nothing in Reolink about this in the setup I'm sorry to day. And yes, a thumbnail really needs to be implemented to make the app in line with today's technology. Excellent video.

Great review!

Great review mate

We have 3 of the Go PT’s Love them!

I got one. It works great. Be aware that if you get a t-mobile 2GB Sim card and set it in an area where it will be roaming, you will only get 200MB of data per month. Great camera though.

Great vid, I bought a PT to set up on deer trails hunting a brute and the tech will help hopefully. I'll be hanging it perhaps this weekend waiting on the data package. Read in comments you planned to buy a PT did you? Working well? Just curious here...thanks again

Does the PIR sensor only record when it detects something with heat? You showed a clip of a branch with snow falling, did the PIR trigger that recording? or did you have other motion detection settings enabled.

Nice review, which model did you purchase and did it include the sim card and the solar panel?

I wonder if it automatically updates the firmware as I have to do it manually on my cellular trail cameras using a sd card.

Great review Jase! I work for our state's Dept of Natural Resources as a biologist and we are looking for a cellular camera to monitor certain nesting birds on the marsh. My question is how much detail can you see in the lower res video that is sent to your phone? Is there anyway you can download the high res video file via cell (even if it uses more of your data)? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Sold!

Hi Jase. Great video. You might have covered it but I just want to make sure before purchasing. Does it still record video to the sd card when there is no cellular reception?

I just bought 4 of the PT cameras and the SIM card has made me do a lot of research too on them ! Let me know how your data held up or if you need a bigger plan ! I don’t get a lot of pics from my game cameras that I have out now but I don’t know how they compare to the reolink with videos ! I wrote this as I was watching your video and I see you did touch on the data later in the video! I’m still shopping for the best deal for a SIM card so if you find something better please let me know !

I'm more interested in the live view. Looking around the farm, Does that use data while viewing?

Nice review i wish to have one here in the pholippines

Whats the range from your house you have them at or is just the cell tower hookup that matters

Great review. Can the camera be disable by the phone and later activate again?

Great review - So there's conflicting reports. Will an AT&T and Verizon sim cards work or not? I can't get a straight answer. Also, does the memory card even have to be inserted? I dont really want to record anything i just want a live view.

How are the night time videos? How far is the detection range at night and is it pretty clear? I also noticed they have a pan and tilt version for around $50-$70 more and was wondering if you think the original is good enough for mostly wildlife detection and movement? I'm a new subscriber and I want to thank you in advance for any help you could give. I know it's not easy because you don't know my exact situation but I appreciate any input you can give

Can I just add it to my cell phone plan instead of paying for preplan cards?

Great review 👍I have had one for 6 months and it has great live view and suddenly quit recording. Has anyone experienced this you know of.

Hi thx for nice video, quick question how long it will record after movement in perimeter was spotted? 1-3min? Or longer/shorter?

So do you think one of the cheaper real link cameras would be just as good and still send the videos to your phone

Hi there! Reolink states they only run on 2 carriers, T-Mobile and another carrier, the name escapes me. Anyhow you said any SIM card from any carrier will work, is that really true? T-mobile is about $50.

i have a question: i live in Belgium and i have a farm in Hungary, it liks 12 hours driving from belgium,,,,,,,,,can i put that kind of cam in hungary and watch from belgium whats going on in my farm??

Hey Jase, appreciate the information, great video-When you signed up with US Mobile did you get assigned a phone number even though this is for a camera? Did you have any issues registering the sim card? Thx, new subscriber here.

Jase, on my reolink app icon on my phone there is a number, like 14, are these files recorded, and if so, how do you erase these?

Hi from NZ Jase - I heard they have Thumbnail now - is that correct ? Also - those test shots you did on your driveway - were you getting email alerts or txt ?? You are like me with Sim cards - activating etc can be a pain

Another thing about this nobody's brought up. Use a good galvanized screw if you're using screws to hold everything on a tree. they will rust and break...

Ciao, is it possible to share live images on RU-vid?

What's the name of that particular camera and do you have a link where to purchase it?

can this be used for youtube live streaming

dose it record the snow fall or tree movement ,,leafs blowing, putting one up for a driveway sec cam, and dont want it to record garbage ,,

Nice review. I just happen to run across your video. Huntingfarmer's videos is what got me interested in them. I've been following him closely. I wound up buying 5 of them to use as trail cams. I'm curious...where are you located? I'm impressed that they still function well even with all of the snow. Thanks for the review.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to utilize a Verizon SIM card with my Reolink Go PT?

How far away will it detect movement?

There is a similar 4G camera, but with 18650 batteries?

Do they have one with similar function that works off of internet wireless (no data plan required)?

So....I have an ignorant question. I’m moving back to the country. I won’t have WiFi and this looks like a good option. Here’s the question.......I use visible/Verizon because it works way out in my area. I notice you get a SIM card for the camera. I don’t understand, do you have to get a sim from the same carrier you’re using already? Or can you go with anyone?? How does the whole SIM card process work? Will anyone of em just pop up on your phone, etc . 🙏🏻👍

The antenna must be built in for that model?

Hi Jase. Good stuff. UK here. Do you think this cam will work in an Owl box? ie, the object animal may be within a foot or two of camera. Will that still trigger the camera and focus? Also, I read the video will continue recording if the motion continues? I may have an Owl moving about in a box for an hour at a time or more, will the video just keep recording or can it be set to time out? Much obliged. Steve.

How has this done with cold weather?

Thanks bro, just about to order myself a couple, did it record silly things at all , like the wind blowing branches? Snow falling or rain? Cheers from Aus

Can you zoom the camera in when your watching on live mode?

can i use this in -15 celsious?

Any feedback on the data usage ?

Great video. I got my Reolink go 2 weeks ago, unfortunately someone came, unscrewed it from the mount and stole it. I told him through the camera to return it but he throw it off a cliff. The dumb ass got a perfect clear image of his face for the police. I still don’t get why people steel security cameras. I guess my suggestion to anyone is to put thread locker where the camera screws onto the mount and to activate the free 7 day cloud storage.

I’m trying to figure out how to get these connected to my Verizon account I called them but they’re confused

Does it glow at night? Would an intruder notice it?

Can anyone tell me they’ve used this with Verizon wireless SIM card in North America?

What about at night?

does it work with Verizon?

Is there a camera like this but able to work with wi-fi?

flexiboom sim cards are NO!!!!! good. I constantly have to take the battery out and put it back in order for it to work...

The biggest problem I see with this camera is that it will keep recording until the motion stops. I live in a windy area and have no open fields to hunt. The winds blows the trees and bushes and limbs around to where this camera would be recording all the time. I would like to see a firmware update to allow timer recordings that start and stop after a given amount of time such as 5 or 10 seconds up to minutes.

The reolink GO PT plus works better as a trail cam

Which cellular company do you use? Is this camera T-mobile only?

I mounted it in my car i couldn't find a decent option without having to have WiFi and ever since my window was busted out with this nobody has messed with my car

Bye Bye cellular trail cameras, unless they come out with something compatible to these as I use mine for security....

does anyone else see the person in black by the tree?

Did u see when u walked to see your camera there was an animal on your right in the back

Did anyone else see that person by the tree 🌲 👀

Can you download a high res video from the app?

Greetings from the US. Thank you for the helpful video. Great camera and alarm system to boot. My pre-recorded warning message is: THAT'S A DAMNED GOOD WAY TO GET SHOT. LEAVE NOW!!!
