Reolink E1 surveillance cameras: Overview, models and selection tips
Reolink E1 series surveillance cameras are like a little assistant who is always on guard of your peace. They are small, easy to work with and at the same time know everything you need for safety. I've seen people with them sigh with relief – finally you can not worry that something will go wrong at home or in the office. These cameras are great for both an apartment and a small shop when you want to keep everything under surveillance without unnecessary hassle or high costs. In this article, I will analyze what are the models in the E1 series, how they differ, where it is better to put them, what they give and how to choose the one that will be yours.
What models are in the Reolink E1 series?
The Reolink E1 series has several options – each camera has its own character, but they are all about convenience and reliability. First of all, the basic Reolink E1 is a kind of simple work: the picture is clear, and the camera itself rotates 355° to the sides and 50° up and down so that you can look into every corner. Then comes Reolink E1 Pro - a slightly cooler option, with a better picture and the ability not only to listen to what is happening, but also to talk through it - for example, to remind children not to be mischied. And finally, Reolink E1 Zoom is already the top of the line, with a zoom that brings everything closer so that you can see every little thing, and the quality does not suffer. All of them are small, easy to attach and connect via Wi-Fi, but each has its own special "chip".
How are they different?
The difference between the models is in the details that can be decisive. The basic E1 is an economical option with a good picture day and night thanks to infrared lighting. E1 Pro adds clarity (up to 2K) and the ability to communicate – for example, ask the courier to leave the package outside the door. And E1 Zoom is already for those who want to look at the little things, because zoom allows you to zoom in on the face or number of the car. All models support writing to a memory card or to the cloud, but older versions work faster and give more control through the app.
Where and why are they used?
Reolink E1 cameras are real station wagons. At home, they are placed to take care of children or pets when you are at work. I, for example, know people who check through E1 Zoom whether the cat took something from the table – and the picture is so clear that you can see every mustache! In the office, they help monitor the order or record who enters the office. And in small shops or cafes, it's an easy way to secure your property without bulky systems. Their compactness and swivel mechanism make them ideal for rooms where there are many corners and areas to be covered.
What is the benefit of using them?
These cameras are like your eyes where you are not. They give peace of mind: you always know that everything is fine at home or at work. If something goes wrong – movement in the frame or noise – the camera sends a notification to the phone, and you have time to react. For parents, it is a way to be closer to their children, for business owners – saving on security. And they are also simple: put, connect to Wi-Fi – and that's it. No wires throughout the apartment or complex settings. Plus, writing to the cloud or on a card means that important moments are always at hand.
Tips for choosing
Choosing a Reolink E1 camera is not so difficult if you know what you need. If the budget is limited and you just want to monitor the room – take the basic E1. It is inexpensive, but it does its job at its best. For those who value clarity and want to communicate through the camera (for example, calm the dog), it is better to take the E1 Pro – the difference in the picture is noticeable. And if you need to control the little things – say, see who is behind the door – E1 Zoom with its zoom will be perfect.
Think about the place: for a small apartment, E1 is enough, and in an office with several zones, Pro or Zoom is better. Check Wi-Fi – these cameras like a stable signal, so the router should be nearby. And don't forget about memory: a 64 GB card or a cloud subscription is your stock of records. If you plan to place the camera where there is a lot of light or shadow, all models will cope thanks to night vision, but Zoom will give more details.
Why is Reolink E1 worth considering?
The Reolink E1 series is about the balance between price, quality and convenience. They are not overloaded with unnecessary functions, but give everything you need for safety and comfort. I myself saw how people were happy to put such a camera at home – and they sleep more peacefully, and joke that now they have a “spy”. Choose a model for your tasks, and these little assistants will not let you down!
