Reolink RLK8-800D4 – 4 X Security Cameras + NVR – Features Review

Today we are going to be checking out an awesome security camera system kit in a box. It’s another Reolink product, and for those of you who follow my channel know I love using their products because of their quality hardware, easy to use app with remote access, simple install and setup process and awesome price-point. This is a 4K system, including 4 turret style cameras and a Network Video Recorder (NVR). Today we’ll dive into the box and see what’s included and talk about the system specifications. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!

This will be the first of a few videos I will be presenting on this system. Today is all about introducing you this system’s components and their purpose. We’ll also discuss the technical specifications, so you know exactly what you’re getting if you purchase this system. This setup will cost you $530US but often goes on sale for under 500. Product links will be in the description, including a link to buy this setup directly from Reolink (with free shipping). I sometimes have coupon codes from Reolink, so keep an eye out for those too in the description.

Looking at the NVR, which is model number RLN8-410. It offers 24/7 recording of up to 8x4K security cameras. It comes pre-installed with a 2TB hard drive which is expandable to 2x 4TB drives. To put that into perspective, with the 4 cameras included, recording at 4K, you can store about a week’s worth of continuous recording on a 2TB drive. This system maxes out an 8TB, which gives you about a month. Once the disc is full, oldest data will be deleted and replaced with new.

Let’s pop open the cover and see what’s inside by removing the side screws and one on the back. No need to remove the 2 on the front, they are for the front panel:

• Right off the bat, there is no internal fan as expected. Perfect! That means less noise. After running the unit for a few hours, with 4 cameras, the internal components hit a maximum of 41.7C or 107F. I’m ok with that. No fan required here.
• They have a 2TB Seagate drive installed with a SATA connection, which is a decent brand of drive: Seagate. The maximum capacity for this slot is a 4TB drive. I’ll link a suitable 4TB upgrade below. With a maximum of 4TB inside and 4 outside, this NVR will support a grand total of 8TB.
• This is obviously an indoor device but it can be installed in a garage or shed as long as it’s protected from the dust, humidity and the cold. Keep in mind that its operating temperature ranges from -10c – 55c or 14F – 131F.

Like I mentioned, there are 4xD800 4K cameras included. If you require additional IP cameras, Reolink offers several other styles and resolutions. On the Reolink site, they tell you if the camera will work with their NVR, like this one here does. But the Argus indicates that it will not work, so keep an eye out for that prior to ordering additional cameras.

That covers all of the specs and features of the hardware included in this very impressive 4 camera, 4K system. Reolink definitely has some top-quality gear here. I have obviously been playing with the system for some time now and if you are considering some security cameras or an out-of-the-box security solution with and NVR, make sure to consider this one here.
