What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the title and feature copy describe 5MP/3K video, but the technical field for effective video resolution gives only “5.0”. The zoom ratio is listed as 10:1 without clarifying implementation, and solar-runtime claims depend on conditions not established here. Confirm the exact configuration and recording options for the selected listing.

Frequently asked questions

Does the camera record locally?

The listing says it supports local recording to a microSD card up to 512 GB or a Reolink Home Hub. The card is not included.

Does this camera need Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is listed as its wireless connection. The listing describes app-based remote viewing, so suitable Wi-Fi coverage is relevant to placement and use.

What resolution does it record?

The title and feature copy claim 5MP/3K, while a technical field says “5.0” for effective video resolution. Confirm the exact video specification for the selected listing.

Is solar power enough to keep the camera charged?

The listing claims solar charging and gives a sunlight-dependent runtime claim. Actual charging depends on the installation and sunlight, so the claim should not be treated as a guaranteed runtime.
