Hi gaber. Sorry no E1 Pro deal at the moment.
I owned both TPLINK and Reolink, based on my experience, Tplink is more reliable in terms of signal dropout.
I've had good performance from the Reolink E1 Pro, C1 Pro & RLC-410W units from Reolink so far… I would say 'most' are within around 20m from the router (line of sight through various walls, kitchen appliances..etc)… TP Link might very well be better but just wanted to let you and others know.
Out of interest how far away did you have issues with the Reolinks? Did you find they just dropped offline (can't connect) or what was happening?
The reason for the question is I did have an issue with 1 of the camera's (RLC-410W), it was dropping out, long story short… installed the latest firmware update and it's been rock solid since then so Reolink might have had an issue with at least this model and older firmware (although it only happened to 1 of the 4x RLC-410W units I had but updated them all to the latest to be sure).
Good luck!
yes, i have the RLC-410W and got the random dropout issue. Connection is within 30m and no wall. It was connected to the 5G and random unaccessable and now is connected to 2.4G. When you click details of the camera on mobile app, it still sometimes says not reachable.
I have both e1 zoom and e1 Pro cameras and they do need quite a strong signal to be reliable. In my experience, - 60db is OK, - 70db there will be continual drop outs. Annoyingly, whereas other brand cameras will reconnect their stream to Blue Iris when they reconnect to wifi, the reolink cameras do not. I wish reolink would fix that in firmware.
How do you check the db rating on Reolink?
I've checked on my router and the worst camera is showing -62dBm, I do connect them onto a separate wifi segment (so it's isolated from my normal LAN) and use the 2.4Ghz band for all the camera's as it have more than enough bandwidth for my needs and goes further than 5Ghz which I use for our internal LAN devices for maximum speed… never had an issue with this…
Thinking back with my old ISP supplied router we did have a few times we could not connect but it was very rare and normally re-try and it then worked but though it was just the rubbish router and since using a single Asus AX88U router all devices have been rock solid, not a single dropout or connection issue… Perhaps your devices are further away or being hit by obstacles if you are seeing -70dBm?
Last time was $60 delivered on Amazon.com.au
So TP-Link is reliable of always dropping out? Or…
what is it? surely this should be in the title.
thanks @Twix for the update.
Really after a deal on the E1 Outdoor units when they ready :-)
Bought 2.
Any promotion for RLK8-820D4-A?
That's not a good price yet. Ebay has it for $715 after applying the discount code. When will the next discount in Amazon?
Does this code works for every Camara or just this particular model
Only E1 Zoom
Any deals on the E1 pro?
