Reolink Duo Series Surveillance Cameras Review: Duo 2 and Duo 3
Reolink Duo cameras are a real gift for those who want to see everything that happens around them, whether at home or at work. Thanks to two lenses that work together, they cover a huge space, as if giving eyes to the back of the head. There are two models in this series – Duo 2 and Duo 3, and each has its own character. This review will tell you how they differ, where it is better to put them, what benefits they bring and how to understand which one you need.
Reolink Duo 2: What kind of camera is this?
Reolink Duo 2 is the case when you get a good result for reasonable money. Two lenses give a viewing angle of 150 degrees - it's like unfolding a newspaper and seeing the whole yard at once. It shoots clearly both day and night, thanks to infrared light and the ability to recognize that a person or just a branch is swinging in front of her. It is easy to configure it through the application: turn it on, connect it - and you can watch what is going on there, or save the video to the card or in the cloud.
This camera is often taken for home – to put it near a gate, garage or in the backyard. She doesn't think about the settings, she just does her job, and for most this is exactly what she needs.
Reolink Duo 3: What is better?
Reolink Duo 3 is the next level. The viewing angle here has grown to 170 degrees – almost like a bird in flight. The image is even clearer, and at night she sees in color, which adds details: not just silhouettes, but real pictures. Smart functions are also more advanced here – the camera better distinguishes people, cars or dogs without jerking you through every little thing. Plus, it is friends with smart systems and gives more options for recording.
This is placed where it is necessary to be monitored seriously – on large sites, warehouses or near offices. It is for those who want not just a camera, but a real assistant.
Where are they mounted and for what?
Duo 2 is a favorite of homeowners. She is clinged to watch the children in the yard, check if someone else is spinning at the door, or take care of the car in the parking lot. It is simple and unpretentious – I put it and forgot.
Duo 3 is taken for bigger things. On the farm to see the whole field, or near the business, where several entrances and corners need to be kept in sight. Its intelligence and broader overview make it ideal for complex tasks – such as recognizing a car number or a face at dusk.
What is the use of them?
Both cameras are peace in the pocket. Due to the wide corner, they replace several ordinary ones, so you do not need to hang the house with iron. At night they see everything they need and recognize who is walking there - you don't have to get up because of each cat. Videos are always at hand on the phone, and notifications come when something is really important. For home, it is the safety of loved ones, and for work, it is protection from uninvited guests or losses.
What problems do they solve?
With them you forget about the typical sorrows. A narrow angle in the old camera? There is no such thing here – you can see everything at once. Constant signals due to wind or birds? Smart filters cut off unnecessary. Does the darkness spoil the picture? Night vision saves. And most importantly, you don't need to put a bunch of devices, one Duo closes a large area, saving nerves and wallet.
How to choose?
To choose between Duo 2 and Duo 3, first think about what you need. For a small yard or house Duo 2 – ideal: inexpensive, simple and reliable. If the area is large, you need smart things or a better picture in the dark – take Duo 3, it will work every cent. Take a look at the budget: the Duo 2 is lighter for the pocket, but the Duo 3 is worth it where the requirements are higher. And don't forget about the place – whether there is a place to attach and whether there is Wi-Fi. In any case, with Duo peace is guaranteed, just choose your option!
