I have had a Reolink solar powered camera for a while to watch for "critters" under my deck that would try to tunnel under my sun room. I could catch them before they did any damage and the built in siren feature seemed to irritate most raccoons, opossums, and groundhogs and they would just turn and walk away. Not so much afraid but just irritated.I decided to take an extended trip to a beach house and needed some sort of "do it yourself" security. I could hide a few valuables but if somebody came in for an extended time they probably could find and take anything they wanted. Things can be replaced but while traveling loosing a computer or other items would be very inconvenient. Knowing how the Reolink devices worked I looked and found this camera. After comparing with others for features and price I decided this camera seemed like a good solution.If you need it you can even use the remote Pan and Tilt option to look around if the wide angle view is not sufficient.I have been VERY pleased with the performance of the camera and the iPhone app. The camera has a built in siren or custom audio and push notification to the phone. When I leave the house I set the push notification and siren on and if somebody enters the property it will alert me within a few seconds and start the siren. With the cloud option (free for one camera or paid for more) the video triggered by motion will be captured even if somebody tries to disable the camera. Beyond the cloud option the camera will also capture videos to an SD card.I had a question about setting the options to turn on the features I wanted when I left the house and wondered if iPhone shortcuts could activate any options. It was a few touches to find the options and turn them on or off. I could not figure it out if Shortcuts could help so I asked Reolink with a support ticket. In a couple of hours I got a reply and said that Shortcuts would not work but there was a feature called Scenes that could help. Sure enough I created two scenes, one to arm the camera motion sensor and siren and one to disarm then. I replied with a thank you and suggested that maybe an iPhone shortcut could be used to activate a scene and again in a couple of hours they replied and said they would pass on the suggestion to their development group for consideration. You could not ask for more. Their support was VERY knowledgeable and quick and went beyond just a simple answer.If you are looking for a reliable camera with a very useful assortment of features at an excellent price you should consider Reolink products.
