a lot also will depend on the location you are in for labor costs, as well as the construction of your building.
imho, if you are going to pay that much for labor, buy better cameras than Reolink. ( Annke has some nice Hikvision OEM dual lens cameras )
if you are able and willing, for most typical American homes you can find a way to run the cables as a DIY project if you have at least one person to help you run the cables imho
Reolink cameras .. best to use Reolink NVRs for recording. Reolink cameras have had a number of compatibility issues .. that noted, you can use 3rd party VMS products ( like Blue Iris - tho reported issues with the iFrames )
Lorex NVRs .. typically are Dahua OEM .. best to pair with a Dahua OEM camera .. Reolink you'd have to try using ONVIF and see if they've done an OK job with that code ..
Yes, Reolink camera firmware have known issues with compatibility and standards.
Direct to disk is the way to go as per BI experienced users at ipcamtalk ..
iFrames are a big issue .. as well as the ability for the cameras to maintain customized settings ( Reolink likes to cheat in low light to maximize the quality of still objects in low light image capture at the expense of moving subjects .. you can search ipcamtalk for example on this .. as well as youtube videos )
If you can afford it, look for better quality sensors from Annke Dual Lens Hikvision OEM cameras .. they often run deals and you can get a better camera that meets specs / standards better.
effective Pixels on target .. expect shorter effective ID ranges with wide FOVs ..
( see the DORI section of the ipcamtalk cliff notes .. I had done a chart of DORI ID specs in past threads I posted here at SDs .. but I have not updated that info recently )
Normally to see and read license plates you need less pixels than to ID .. still reading license plates at night can be a real challenge and you need to custom tune the cameras just to read the plates ( due to reflection issues from the plates )
Cat 5e or Cat6 is fine as long as your get good quality cable .. that is solid copper 23 or 24 AWG and proper rated ( CMR iirc ) .. do not use cheap CCA cables, or thin wires ( you get more power loss )
Hi @oharag ..
If I install this high up on home (20 feet) and centered at my entrance - what would I expect to see.
Mounting a camera which has a wide FOV high is going to give you good bird's eye images of top of heads ..
if you are new to this, buy one good varifocal 4MP camera and start playing around with different possible positions on your home ..
indeed @Caleo .. those lith batteries really burn easily ..
If you are using quality cat5e / 6 cable with in-wall / riser rated .. ( CMR ) and do not put the cable on a fire source you should have very little risks due to low voltage ..

Does this work fine with BI ? I recall some earlier threads mentioning Reolinks being problematic with BI..
Reolink Duo 3 8k user:
Configuration requires internet but its a great camera
By Tim Bingham in the United States on March 17, 2024I love this camera though I am a little disappointed in what it takes to configure it. I keep my security cameras connected to a network that has no Internet and only the server has Internet access, this is done for security so that no one from the Internet can directly access any camera. I clarify this information so that you understand the problem I had with configuration. I connected this to my camera network and the reolink software could not find it, it did not pull an IP address through DHCP so I was unable to access the camera. I plugged it up to my router that has Internet access and it started functioning properly the reolink software could find it and it pulled an IP address through DHCP. This leads me to believe something in the firmware requires it to connect to the Internet for configuration. After configuring it and setting a static IP address I was able to connect it back to my camera network and use it without Internet. Now that I can actually use it the picture quality is very good and with a few tweaks you can use it with BLUE IRIS. It can see quite far in the dark and with it mounted on the back of my carport the wide angle view between the two cameras it can see a roughly 300 foot wide section of my property while facing the tree line 80 feet from the tree line for those that don't understand that is quite impressive. see less
Also according to the 4k model, it does support Blue Iris.

Some nvrs will still work, but run at a lower resolution. Also please note that this will consume 2 free channels. Ie. If you have 6 cameras and add this, your nvr is now full.
Most reviews say from the duo 2, its an upgrade, but not a major one like youd expect.
Having said that, i plan to switch my duo 2 to another location.
The 180deg view is very nice on the duo 2.
I use them with Synology - and back them up with 128/256 mSd cards too. The Reolink app is actually better than the synology, but the synology allows me 24/7 recording.
they're not hard to install, nor is running Cat5e but if Im going to get paid to do it, for someone else, I can see why they would bill out 2-3 hours at $200 an hour for the 'inconvenience' of coming to your house drilling 2 screws, and running a bunch of wire 'so the wife doesnt see it'
My BI instance is running off an intel N100, 6W of power, handles 12 concurrent video streams no problem, including AI subject detection.
