The Reolink CCTV Camera Systems set — four outdoor PoE cameras with an 8-channel NVR and a 2TB hard drive — comes in at number nine in this guide at £679.99, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 297 ratings. The finding for this one is arithmetic. The name and all four camera bullets say 12MP, while the same listing's Video Capture Resolution field reads 2560 x 1944. That is roughly 5 megapixels: under half the number in the title, and short of 4K (3840 x 2160) as well.

It is not the only figure that disagrees with itself. The bullets promise a 97° viewing angle and the spec table says 93 degrees; one bullet claims the cameras "capture even more details than 4K cameras" while the resolution field sits below 4K. What does hold together is the package: eight channels, cameras powered and fed data over a single Ethernet cable each, colour night vision with motion-activated spotlights, person and vehicle detection, two-way audio, and a 2TB drive expandable to 16TB. Buyers are divided on the headline number too — one review describes the picture as 4K, another counts four 12MP cameras after a year of use. Everything on this page, including the specs and the quotes from buyers, is taken from the Amazon listing itself and not from testing we have carried out.

## Questions people ask

**Is this a 12MP system?**

The Reolink listing says 12MP in the product name and in the camera bullets, but its own Video Capture Resolution field reads 2560 x 1944, which is about 5MP — less than half the figure the title uses.

**Does the £679.99 price include cameras?**

Yes. The Reolink set is advertised as four PoE cameras plus an 8-channel NVR — unlike the Reolink RLN8-410 listing at £289.99, whose published box contents are a recorder, power adapter, USB mouse, HDMI cable, 1m network cable, quick start guide and screws, with no cameras at all.

**Is a hard drive included?**

Yes. The product name states a 2TB HDD and the easy-to-install bullet repeats it, adding that storage can go up to 16TB.

**Why do the viewing angle figures differ?**

The Reolink bullets say 97° and the spec table lists 93 degrees. The listing does not explain the difference.

**How are the cameras powered and connected?**

Corded electric via PoE: each camera connects to the NVR with one Ethernet cable that carries both power and data. The listed hardware interface on the NVR is USB 3.0 Type B.

**How is the Reolink set rated by buyers?**

4.4 out of 5 from 297 ratings, with 68 five-star and 4 one-star ratings in the published breakdown.
