Much better than I was expecting!
on October 24, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently decided to swap out my Nest Cameras for something new. After much "research" I decided on Reolink Cameras. As luck would have it, Best Buy started carrying Reolink Cameras so I of course bought them from here.
The Duo Camera is quite an interesting camera. The FOV allowed me to swap out two cameras for one. Now instead of one camera on each side of my garage exterior, I have one (the Duo). I ended up mounting it higher than my previous cameras but the picture quality is still great. In fact it's better than the two (Nest IQ outdoors) cameras it replaced.
Now I can't say how it could be improved but I really dislike the mount. It was a pain that I ended up making a separate hole for the cable, instead of just being able to hide the cables behind the camera. I thought that was the reason for the hole in the mount but it was too small for the plugs to fit through.
The Reolink app is not as user friendly as the Nest App but it's better than the Google Home App (for cameras). I'm already getting used to it so before I know it, I'll forget about the little quirks.
Speaking of Google Home, I have a bunch of Nest Hub displays, large and small. While you can watch your video feed on them, it doesn't load up as fast as with the Nest Cameras. Also, the feed won't continue indefinitely like it does (or used to) with the Nest Cameras.
I thought about getting an NVR to use with the Duo and the other Reolink cameras that I purchased but apparently you lose the ability to have the camera feed on the Nest Hubs. Instead, I purchased 256GB micro sd cards (from Best Buy of course) and so far, things have been working fine.
The Smart Night mode works really well. The camera transitions quickly from regular night vision to color night mode as soon as the built in spotlights turn on. Even if there isn't any other source of light, the image quality is great.
The Duos Detection is also something that has greatly impressed me. There has been several times when I've reviewed video clips and it took me a bit to find the person that was detected.
Unlike my other Reoilnk Cameras, the microphone on the Duo isn't too bad. Maybe it's position blocks some of the noise but I can have the sound turned on without it having a lot of wind buffeting.

Your new go-to card + adapter combo, the Micro SD PRO Plus + Adapter makes capturing seamless 4K video on compatible phones or drones a breeze. Plus, the expanded storage provides you the freedom to play more high-performance and intensive games on your tablet or gaming device. It~s all the extra space you need from a brand you can count on.

I ordered several of these to use with my newly purchased (from Best Buy) Reolink Cameras. They load up the video clips quickly and do what they are supposed to.

Bought this so my nephew could buy some DLC for a game he plays on his laptop. The email with the code took a little longer than usual but it was still relatively quick.

Reolink 16X Zoom PT Camera is a fascinating 4K PoE PTZ camera that pans and tilts to auto-track persons, vehicles, and animals like cats and dogs. You'll never miss key information with its 16X optical zoom, high-quality infrared night vision, smart accurate alerts, and flexible storage options of a micro SD card (supports up to 256GB) or a Reolink NVR.

WoW! I really like this camera.

Recently decided to swap out my Nest Cameras for something new. After much "research" I decided to go with Reolink. As luck would have it, Best Buy started carrying Reolink so I of course ordered from here.
The RLC-823A 16X is a GREAT camera but it won't be great for all situations. The FOV is much smaller than the average security camera so it's best to mount it up high and/or a bit away from what you want to view. I mounted it just below a second story window.
Be advised, this is a BIG camera. Much larger than my Nest IQ outdoor cameras and other Reolink Cameras. However, it was pretty easy to mount. The included bracket is metal and thus keeps the camera very sturdy.
The App is not as user friendly as Nest's App but it is much better than using the Google Home App for cameras.
Speaking of Google Home, I have a bunch of Nest Hub displays, large and small. While you can watch your video feed on them, it doesn't load up as fast as with the Nest Cameras. Also, the feed won't continue indefinitely like it does (or used to) with the Nest Cameras.

The zoom is of course really good. The controls however are not. They aren't bad but don't expect professional level joystick control movements.
The microphone picks up a lot of background noise but it's no worse than my other Cameras. Like with my previous cameras, I have the volume turned off so I don't have to deal with the noise. I bought my cameras to keep an eye (not ear, lol) out around my house.
I tried to attach a couple pictures but for some reason or another, the site won't let me. I even made the files smaller but I continued to get a "Sorry, the upload failed" message.

For me, this is a huge improvement over wired. I work in an out of my vehicle all day. Having to plug and unplug my phone constantly was beyond annoying. Even though my phone is new (Pixel 7), it seemed as if my USB C port was taking too much wear and tear. I started to have issues with Android Auto so I decided to try this out.
I have it set to launch Android Auto automatically but for some reason or another, it sometimes takes longer than usual (around 30 seconds) or doesn't connect automatically at all. Not a big deal but still a little annoying if I've already begun driving.

If you liked the previous game(s) then it's very likely you'll like this one.
One feature I like that was changed from the previous game is that now the co op mode seems to be available full time.

With room to hold three devices at once ~ a smartwatch and two phones, or a smartwatch, earbuds, and phone ~ you can power up your ecosystem all at once**. So when you~re done for the day, just put your devices down in one place to be ready for tomorrow.

Bought this to be able to charge my phone, ear buds and watch simultaneously during the night.
However, I now wear my watch to monitor my sleep, this means charging it in the morning while getting ready, so it's not as fast as I'd like it to be. Not a big deal though. I just use the charger that my watch came with when I need it too be charged quickly.

I've had "fast" chargers before but nothing like this. It is great being able to get plenty of juice from short charging sessions.
Bought three of these to replace older (slower) chargers.

Much better than the PS4 camera records in 4K so it’s definitely a good peripheral to be more interactive online. Affordable so you can stream via twitch or YouTube with no issue.
