I've been all in on Reolink since fall of 2022, and removed all of my indoor Eufy 2K cameras in 2023. I don't find the Reolink app to be any buggier than Eufy's was in 2023 and Eufy's has basically remained unchanged since 2023. I still use it for my dog camera and a camera I have at a friend's cabin. It's crazy how buggy Eufy's old 2K cameras and the app have become over the past three years. Reolink's isn't perfect, but it's a lot better imo.
A lot of people are worried about the lack of rich push notifications, but you can get them via setting up Home Assistant or Frigate NVR, or, the easiest way IMO is using the email image option and sending it to the Pushover app ($5 one time fee, unlimited pushes). The only issue you're going to hit is with how many images are being sent via your email address per day. If it's going to be more than 50ish, you'll need a domain name and a deticated email host. Luckily MxRoute has great BF deals available year round. I've been getting 1000+ images sent a day reliably for over two years now. https://mxroute.blackfriday/
This Omvi is a good camera at this sale current sale price. The 4K PT camera is very clear and detailed and features a "2x fixed zoom equivalent", I do not think it's a $299/$319 camera, however. It's just a bit buggy, and will hopefully be fixed via future firmware updates, but then again, Reolink doesn't always seem to address issues people find and have, but other times they do. You also need to mount it fairly low if you want as much usable FoV from the 180º as possible. The manual says 8-12', but if you're going above 10', you're going to want to wedge it to tilt it down a bit, or just accept you're not going to see what's within 10' or so on the ground below the camera in the middle. The 180º supports 20fps, 8192kbps, while PT supports 20fps and 7168kbps stream quality.
Watch LifeHackster's review on YouTube, there is one or two minor differences between the PoE and WiFi version, I think when it comes to the kbps recording quality, which is a bit lower on the wifi model for some unknown reason.
And if you're going to be recording 24/7 to a MicroSD card, you're going to want Samsung Pro Endurance or SanDisk Max Endurance cards, which currently cost a small fing fortune compared to last year. Normal cards are fine if you just record motion events. Haven't really tested this camera yet, but the other Reolinks tend to have a decent pre-record buffer before the detected motion event happens. I run all mine to an NVR for 24/7 recording, and have the SD cards only for motion events as backup.
After a disappointing experience with Blink I'm told that Reolink is generally favorable for Home Assistant integrations. Now I'm going to stare at this for the next few hours instead of working, lol

Altas if you want 24/7 low-FPS, or decent pre/post-motion-record solar powered 4K PT camera. It's got kind of a narrow FoV though, which can be good, or bad.

It's a great camera at this sale price. See my other reply about it.

I'm all OUT on reolink - a solar reolink camera I bought back 5+ years ago failed to capture multiple events even after changing multiple settings and mounts. What is weird is that the first 30 days was great. Everything worked. After the return period? Nope! I only caught the missed events because I have camera redundancy, at least two cameras detecting one area. I still have the camera, but it certainly doesn't detect well. Only good for active monitoring.
Support was useless, as expected.
Same issue happened with another camera brand (Arlo, I think), but I returned to Costco

That's how every battery/solar powered camera is, no matter the brand.
Their solar powered cameras are definitely shit, and very hit and miss. The Argus 4 Pro is pretty damn solid, but the rest of them, including the Altas are buggy at best.
