The Reolink 8CH 4K PoE NVR kit is a wired surveillance bundle: an eight-channel network video recorder with a 2TB hard drive already fitted, plus PoE cameras that take both power and video down one network cable. It sits at number two in this guide at £529.99, on a 4.3 average from 1,958 ratings. Its numbers are the ones that hold together: the title promises 4K, the bullets spell that out as 3840x2160 (8MP), the spec table lists the video capture resolution as 4K, and the 2TB storage claim in the bullets reappears in the specs as 2TB.

Two things inside the same listing do not line up. The detection bullet offers people, animals and vehicles, while the spec table's special-features field lists person and car detection only, with no mention of animals. And the only 330 ft figure in the copy is the maximum PoE cable run of 100 m — the spec table then gives 330 feet as the night vision range, the same number doing a second job. The listing also never says how many cameras arrive in the box, only that the NVR supports up to eight. At £529.99 it is not the cheap way into 4K here: the lowest-priced set in this guide, with four 8MP cameras and a 2TB drive, is £279.99. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing — its specs, its bullets and its buyer reviews — and not from any testing we have carried out.

## Questions people ask

**How many cameras are in the box?**

The listing does not say. It gives the Reolink NVR as an 8-channel unit that supports up to eight Reolink PoE cameras, and names compatible models including the RLC-520A, 510A, 810A, 820A, 811A, Duo 3 PoE and TrackMix PoE.

**Does it come with a hard drive?**

Yes. The Reolink bullets say the 2TB drive is pre-installed and records 24/7 across all cameras, with support for expansion to 8TB and a 16TB system total.

**What resolution does it record at?**

The Reolink bullets state 3840x2160, described as 4K 8MP and four times sharper than 1080p. The spec table lists the video capture resolution simply as 4K.

**Can it see at night?**

The spec table for this Reolink gives night vision as night colour with a range of 330 feet. Note that 330 ft (100 m) is also the figure the bullets give for the maximum PoE cable run, so the same distance appears twice for two different claims.

**Does it detect animals as well as people?**

The Reolink bullet says the AI identifies people, animals and vehicles, while the spec table's special-features field lists person and car detection only.

**Is £529.99 the lowest it has been?**

The listing shows £529.99. One reviewer says they bought it on offer at £399; that is that buyer's own purchase price, not a figure the listing quotes.
