Someone close to me want’s to install some security cameras with the goal of a simple and relatively cheap surveilance system, ideally over wifi and with phone integration and maybe also a doorbell.

I’ve heard people recommend Reolink and the features and price seem good. Im just a bit concerned about them tracking any data.

It was shown that the Ring doorbell app collected data without the users knowledge or consent, and there was also a scandal with Anker’s Eufy cameras.

So my questions are: What do you think of Reolink as a company? Are they trustworthy and how happy are you as a consumer? Is there any red flag or “gotcha”, I might have missed?

    Thanks for the input, I understand it would be best to cut the cameras and recording solution of the internet. Homekit sv is not an option because I don’t have Apple hardware and also not a fan of a subscription plan.

    I will definitely check out Blue iris since its widely praised.
