Reolink sent this camera out for me to test, but these are my own thoughts after using it on my property.
Keeping an eye on acreage is a whole different deal than watching the front porch. In this video, I’m testing the Reolink OMVI 3i PoE security camera on my pond lot / barn lot to see how well one camera can cover a wide outdoor area.
This is a real-world look at the Reolink OMVI 3i PoE mounted out by the pond, wood yard, outdoor shower, driveway entrance, and barn lot. I show the panoramic view, PTZ controls, app controls, desktop app, tracking, presets, patrol points, night footage, SD card recording, and how I may tie it into my NVR setup later.
This camera was sent out by Reolink for testing, but this is my actual setup and my real use case on the property.
