About Reolink RLC-423 PTZ IP camera: IP camera outside and inside

Both Reolink RLC-423 PTZ IP camera models are equipped with a sturdy, IP66 weather and water-resistant housing. (Tip: do you want to know exactly what this certification entails? Then also read our blog What is an IP code? ). With this sturdy housing, the Reolink RLC-423 is therefore a suitable IP camera for outside and inside. Characteristic of these cameras is the extensive PTZ function (Pan Tilt Zoom) with 4x optical zoom and the particularly sharp image quality of 3072 x 1728 resolution (5.0 Megapixel). The night vision is also razor-sharp and, just like the motion detection, has a range of no less than 57 meters. In practice, this means that with this camera you can look unprecedentedly far and wide. You really don't miss a single detail.

The RLC-423 can rotate, tilt and zoom in and out endlessly.

The PTZ IP camera for monitoring an outside area

And that makes these cameras extremely suitable for securing a large outdoor area around your home or business, where you cannot and / or do not want to place too many cameras, but do have to bridge a large number of meters. Because you can control the camera and zoom in, it is very easy to completely film a large area. The camera can be operated via the free app (iOS and Android) and with Reolink PC software.

PTZ IP camera: wired or wireless?

With the two different types you can connect this PTZ IP camera both wired and wireless outdoor security cam: the RLC-423 5MP Outdoor PTZ IP Camera PoE and the Reolink RLC-423WS 5MP Outdoor WiFi PTZ IP Camerahave almost the same functionalities, with the biggest difference that you connect the first type to your internet network via PoE (Power over Ethernet) and the other model via WiFi. What is most suitable for you depends on the situation. The advantage of PoE is that you do not need a power adapter to make the camera work, because the power supply runs through the network cable. A 'wired' connection to the internet is often also more stable than a WiFi connection. However, a disadvantage of this is that you are forced to draw a cable between the camera and your router / NVR. This can be more difficult to install than the WiFi version. And that brings us back to the advantage of the RLC-423WS: with this type you only have to connect a power adapter, and no network cable. This is usually easier to achieve than PoE. The disadvantage, however, is that you do not have to place the camera too far from a wall socket (an extension cable of the 4.5-meter power adapter is included) and that you need a stable WiFi network.

HD CVI Camera system

HDCVI camera sets supplied complete

HDCVI camera systems ensure a fresh and lively image and contain no annoying delays. Just like analog cameras, HDCVI cameras are very reliable and easy to use. The images can be viewed via a free app on your smartphone, tablet or computer. This way you can monitor your property wherever you are. HDCVI is also an excellent replacement for old analogue installations. This type of camera technology is compatible with your existing coaxial cables and / or UTP cabling.

HDCVI resolutions

Different types of resolutions are available: HD, Full HD, 2K and 4K. An HD camera image corresponds to a resolution of 1280x720 pixels and that guarantees a very good image. The higher you go, the more pixels in the image. This provides sharper images with more details.

P2P cloud technology

The CVI systems in our range are all equipped with P2P cloud technology. P2P means that you are going to access the surveillance camera via the cloud of the manufacturer. Port forwarding no longer needs to be applied. The problems of a changing IP address are solved with this. The app can be scanned easily via a QR code. The apps are mostly available for Android (Google) and iOS (Apple).

Difference between an IP and CVI camera system

With an IP camera system, the cameras have their own IP address. Installing an IP camera system therefore requires some computer knowledge. If you have cameras with the same IP addresses, this must be changed via IP configuration. CVI cameras do not have this; you connect the cameras directly to the DVR recorder and you have an image. The CVI cameras will also not burden your network, so you will not be bothered by delayed images. A CVI camera system does not have these problems either. CVI gives a smooth image.

HDCVI tribride en Penta-brid recorders

The CVI recorders work with three different techniques. The recorders are suitable for analog cameras, CVI cameras and IP cameras. New in our assortment are the Penta-brid recorders. These recording systems even support five techniques; namely analog, AHD, TVI, CVI and IP.

Cabling

For distances of more than 30 meters it is best to use a UTP cable in combination with a video balun . If you want to transmit the 12V power supply, you must take into account the length of the power supply. Transmitten up to a length of 60 meters is no problem. If the length is longer than 60 meters, we advise you to place the power supply at the camera work.
