Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I have three Reolinks. One doorbell, and two of the cheaper wireless with a solar hookup. All three have the max SD memory card they'll take. As with any product, you'll get lots of variation, but so far all of them have done well enough for me.
Issues:
They aren't the highest res (newer models are better)
We had to get a wireless extender to reach the farthest one, and there still can be some stutter for the higher bitrate
For one solar panel it took a year and some drop in charging to realize the first spot wasn't the best for all seasons, but now they stay 100%
Caveat is that batteries and solar do have a lifetime, but going on 4-5 years now and no notice of difference yet
The app/client is okay, could be better, and doesn't have the greatest support, but it works ok for my basic needs. I've heard you can use other ways to get the signal, but haven't tried.
I'd buy them again. Can't speak for the higher end ones if they're worth the extra features.
