![]() ![]() I searched online and settled on the Netgear GS108PP. In terms of power needs, online it says that the cameras require: IEEE 802.3af, 48V Active. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet High-power PoE+ Unmanaged Switch with FlexPoE (123W) I am running Unifi access points, so I am also able to segregate the 510WA by giving it a unique SSID and piping that into the CCTV network. If you are running a simple router/firewall from your ISP, then I would probably go with a managed POE switch, so you can use Vlans to keep things orderly. I didn’t bother to go managed as I have a NIC dedicated to CCTV on my pfsense box, and so am already capable of separating the cameras out on to their own network for security purposes. I decided to go with an 8 port POE+ switch from Netgear. Now in order to power these puppies, I needed POE. I actually struggled to find the slot on the 820A, but you have to rotate the camera as far down as it will go, exposing the slot at the back. Reolink RLC-510WAĪll of the units have the ability to record to micro SD, and the slots are accessible after removing two screws, which should help make it secure in the event of a casual thief or nosey child. The 510WA is slightly larger than the 810A. The 810A is smaller than I expected, at least judging by the photos and marketing materials you see online, it’s decent in weight, and again feels pretty robust. The 820A is about the size of a softball / small grapefruit and feels well made. I would assume anyone buying these would want POE anyway, but just in case! The 510WA did come with a psu, and will not work with POE (this didn’t bother me, I wanted wireless in this instance). There looks to be a provision for powering them via mains, but it’s not included. Neither the RLC-820A nor the RLC-810A came with a psu, so keep this in mind. ![]() ), and a grommet/assembly to seal the cable connection. I don’t want to go through full unboxing details here, there are plenty of those on Youtube, but in a nutshell they all came with a manual, ethernet cable, hardware for mounting (pair of screws and rawplugs, template FIxing the Reolink Camera Dispaly in Home-Assistant RMTP/Sub The boxes came well wrapped and securely packaged. In this post, I’m going to walk you through the simplest (IMO) way to connect them up and get them running. I decided to order three different Reolink variants, as well as a Netgear POE+ switch to power it all. I posted previously ( here) what I was looking for in a camera and my reasons for ordering etc. So my cameras finally arrived from the far east, and I was anxious to get them up and running. ![]()
