As part of AliExpress 11.11 sales, the following NVR and camera packages can be had for ATL pricing, if you tick all the boxes. “All the boxes”includes taking advantage of their price drop for singles day, an automatic seller discount, using an AliExpress code, a Reolink Direct code and a coins balance which you may or may not have. It does not include up to $60 more which you may receive from your cashback provider of choice if it is deemed eligible - so the final price may be even cheaper. Given the amount of coupons and discounts already being applied to a sale price item, it’s entirely possible that the transaction will be deemed ineligible, so treat it like a bonus, if you get it.
As briefly as possible, Reolink are a perennial OzBargain favourite due to their solid build quality, bang for buck and zero subscription fees. You can buy direct, from eBay or Amazon, or for a considerable discount from AliExpress. And because they are shipped from NSW, no additional GST is payable on the quoted AliExpress price, albeit they are priced in US dollars by default, so pay in $US with you currency conversion fee free credit card for best rates.
They’ve got a heap of cams, NVRs and combos on sale, but for the purposes of this post on concentrating on one-stop shop NVR and 4 cam packages. And because it’s OzBargain, I’m focusing on the value segment of the market. These are midrange 8MP and 5MP cams which are a couple years old - so are no competition for the latest 12MP and 16MP advanced commercial cams, but are accessible via the NVR or phone app by default and include microSD card slots in addition to the NVR storage. They are reliable, well built with mature firmware including AI functionality with Car/Person/Pet detection and hit that resolution vs file size sweet spot to ensure you have sufficient detail to identify intruders without exhausting the modest but upgradeable 2TB drive too quickly.

2TB RLK 8CH NVR + 4 x 520D4 5MP Turret cams = $US270.00
Minus $10 seller discount, minus $10 store coupon REOLINK1694 minus $40 AliExpress coupon minus 2970 coins = US$180.30 = AU$274.10
Note, in the 8MP range, there are three other choices in turret and bullet designs. It’s generally a matter of personal preference, but turrets generally work better when mounted under soffits, whereas bullets generally work better mounted off walls. The two slightly cheaper options are crippled to ensure they only work with the included NVR, so pay the extra $15 bucks to get the 810A (bullet) or 820A (turret) over the neutered B800 or D800 options.
Granted, you’ll pay a little more if you use the above links and do not have the necessary coins to max out the discount. You can’t link to the coins page in AliExpress app, so ensure you navigate to coins to get the $11 discount rather than the max 5% it caps out at on their main linked page.
Hopefully you’ll qualify for the extra cashback too. If I do, a 4 x 8mp cam + 2TB NVR will have cost me just $328. It’s my intent to use the great reddit support group below to use it as the basis for two seperate systems - one for the folks using the NVR plus 2 of the cams, and one for myself using a SFF minipc running free NVR software Frigate using the other 2 cams. I’ve already got some Duos and Trackmix’s that I’ll use for the different setups thanks to previous OzBargain deals, but there’s some great prices available for other cameras for anyone else looking to max out their other 4 vacant channels. Check out The Hook Up’s channel on YouTube for some great comparisons of their entire camera lineup.

Apologies for the long blurb - I’ve done my best to condense some of the most valuable info of garnered over the past six months since picking up my first Reolink Argus Solar cams after previous deals. Welcome to the wonderful world of CCTV and NVRs…
