4K+ Ultra HD 12MP PoE Security Camera Outdoor with Spotlight, Human/Vehicle Detection, Color Night Vision, Two-Way Audio, Motion Alerts, RLC-1212A

Updated 26/06/2025 - unfortunately this camera failed recently, it stopped showing an image in the App and my NVR and the web UI became inaccessible. A factory reset did not help. I completed a support request on the Reolink web site and within a couple of days they approved a return for replacement. All in all a 10-day turnaround which is awesome and so refreshing to see a manufacturer standing by their products! Original review - This is my 14th Reolink camera, I have various models. This one has a slightly narrower and shorter FOV than some of my others, but at 12MP it means it's a higher pixel density and therefore a higher quality image. For my particular application (looking across front of house towards front door and driveway) the FOV covers more than enough area and the higher quality image means I can zoom in digitally and still get a very good image.

Easy setup and very good visually. Picture quality is excellent and the night vision is impressive.

I've been using Reolink cameras for a long time now, have six in total. Just upgraded my front 4k with the 12mp. Better quality video and has a wider POV. Person, pet and vehicle detection has gotten better. Easy to setup and install. Would highly recommend.

Very easy set up. Good app. Only negative is that it’s not compatible with Reolink cloud storage. Bought a second one after the success of the first one.

Got this to cover our cars but found the field of view a bit too narrow so it now covers our side of the house. Quality is good and the siren and microphone work very well. The LED light also seem good but I have floodlights so could not see any benefit.

Bought to add to my reolink system really easy to set up and picture quality is fantastic, day or night.

I bought these so I can move away from the five laggy Nest cameras and increasing ambivalence of Google to what was once an excellent product. First off, these are excellent cameras. They were easy to set up and worked first time off a PoE switch. I originally bought these to use with Synology's Surveillance Station but the non-native setup (which was excellently covered by a Reolink help article) was eclipsed by the fact that the majority of useful features in Synology's Surveillance Station (face, numberplate recognition, exclusion zones) are only available in two new products supporting Synology Deep Learning NVR with a good £200 added to the price. It took me a good couple of hours to find this out. I went to Reolink's app which in hindsight I should have done right away because it is good. Responsive and has excellent person and pet alerts. However, there are flaws. Firstly I get an alert on my phone and watch but no image on either. When I click the alert I just get dumped in the live view but I want to see what triggered the alert, not what is happening now. Second, with an SD card fitted I can go into recordings but they are in time order so I then have to scroll to the current time. If there are a lot of alerts, this is a poor experience. These should, by default, be in reverse time order and unfortunately I can find no way of sorting. If you can look past these two issues, these will serve you well. For me, I'm questioning whether to keep my Nest cameras, despite Google's intention of wrecking them. I'll still keep the Reolink cameras I bought in the hope that a future app update will resolve these issues and earn five stars.

This is definitely a step up from older HD reolink and the really bright spotlight is great. Using the spotlight turns the night time vision into colour. Only downside, is that its still too sensitive to rain and cobwebs despite adjusting the settings to trigger after say 2 seconds. Software these days should be able to filter this out? Maybe reolinks next update will have AI :)

Semplicemente le migliori a questo prezzo. Utilizzabili con NVR via switch, oppure con NVR poe, oppure in modalità standalone e scheda di memoria o infine con switch non Poe ed alimentazione 12v separata via alimentatore d.c. Visione diurna eccezionale, si distingue un viso in modo nitido a più di 10 metri che in alta definizione (selezionabile) si porta fino a15 metri. Tantissime regolazioni possibili tramite l’App proprietaria che, per chi smanetta un po con i settaggi, teova davvero la messa a punto perfetta. Ho letto commenti di scarsa precisione sul rilevamento o altro ma, istallandole ho capito che sono frutto di cattive ed approssimative regolazioni e posizionamenti delle camere stesse. Visione notturna spaziale. Selezionabile a colori o bianco e nero poco cambia se non il led acceso o spento. Il led poi, puó essere regolato aia in luminosità che in selezione programmata per accensione da rilevamento o da programmazione oraria. Facilissima l’istallazione e semplicissimo l’abbinamento. Immediata la condivisione su più dispositivi e possibilità di regolare diversamente su ogni device le opzioni. Imballaggio di qualità con istruzioni, kit di fissaggio ed impermeabilizzazione dei connettori, adesivi di segnalazione cavetto dati certo, utile solo per prova ma comunque utile per la configurazione a banco prima dell’istallazione. Istallate da poco più di una settimana, attendo di verificare il mantenimento delle prestazioni e del regolare funzionamento e semmai, aggiornerò la recensione. Per ora posso solo dire Reolink 🔝 e consigliare senza dubbio queste camere a chi cerca un sistema di video sorveglianza per casa, ufficio, capannone o attività di tipo simil professionale.

Définition au top ! Facile à installer et à paramétrer. Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Possibilité multiples pour enregistrer en local ou en distant. C'est ma 8eme caméra reolink et je ne regrette pas.

Bonjour Le raccordements de la fiche RGI n'est pas le même que sur les caméras que j'ai qui fonctionne depuis 4 ans je ne savais pas qu'il existait plusieurs différences de câblage

Ich nutze die Reolink RLC-1212A seit einigen Wochen zur Außenüberwachung meines Grundstücks – und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Kamera liefert eine beeindruckende Bildqualität in 12MP (4K+) – bei Tageslicht gestochen scharf, mit hoher Detailtiefe, und selbst bei Zoom erkennt man Gesichter oder Kennzeichen deutlich. Die Farbnachtsicht in Kombination mit dem Spotlight funktioniert erstaunlich gut. Sobald Bewegung erkannt wird, schaltet sich das LED-Licht automatisch ein und liefert klare Farbbilder auch im Dunkeln – ein echter Vorteil gegenüber herkömmlicher IR-Nachtsicht. Was mir besonders gefällt: Einfache PoE-Installation: Strom und Daten über ein einziges Kabel, sauber und ohne zusätzlichen Stromanschluss MicroSD-Slot & NVR-kompatibel: Ich nutze sie in Kombination mit einem Reolink NVR, die lokale Aufnahme ist stabil und zuverlässig Zwei-Wege-Audio: Mikrofon und Lautsprecher bieten klare Verständigung – ideal, wenn man mal per App durch die Kamera sprechen muss Personen-, Fahrzeug- und Tiererkennung: Funktioniert sehr präzise, Fehlalarme werden stark reduziert Zeitraffer-Funktion: Ein nettes Extra für Bauprojekte oder Wetteraufnahmen Robustes Gehäuse (IP66): Läuft bei mir bei Wind, Regen und Hitze völlig unbeeindruckt App-Anbindung (Reolink App und Client) ist schnell und stabil. Push-Benachrichtigungen kommen verzögerungsfrei, Zugriff per App auch von unterwegs jederzeit möglich. Fazit: Die RLC-1212A ist eine der besten Kameras in dieser Preisklasse. Exzellente Bildqualität, smarte Funktionen, solide Bauweise und durchdachtes Bedienkonzept. Wer eine zuverlässige PoE-Kamera für den Außenbereich sucht, macht hier nichts falsch.

Connaissant la marque depuis longtemps, j'ai acheté cette caméra pour contrôler l'entrée de mon logement. elle fonctionne en POE donc un câble réseau suffit (pas besoin de cordon d'alimentation) que je branche sur un switch POE bien sûr. J'ai également pris une boîte de jonction pour avoir le câble protégé et caché. J'ai eu quelques petits souci de réglages mais le SAV a été hyper réactif à chaque fois que j'avais des questions. Cette marque propose plusieurs types de caméras qui iront pour toutes configurations. Je recommande et reprendrai, si besoin ces produits. Merci encore
