I am about to get another set for my friend ... this scares me a little bit. How did you notice that half of the IR LEDs are dead? It becomes noticeable that night vision is strongly impaired, or half of the "dimmed" red dots are gone?Corwinjino wrote: ↑ I installed the system last year. In 6 months, 50% of IR LEDs died.
After some ticket communication and troubleshooting, Reolink reimbursed half of the cameras' cost to settle the issue.
Just be aware, the IR LEDs don't live long. You may need an additional separate IR light.
Was this for one camera or all 4?Corwinjino wrote: ↑ I installed the system last year. In 6 months, 50% of IR LEDs died.

The IR LEDs on all of mine have been fine and they're 3 years old now. Manufacturing defects happen in iPhones too, doesn't mean all iPhones are trash though..mCorwinjino wrote: ↑ I installed the system last year. In 6 months, 50% of IR LEDs died.

I looked at lorex, swann(my sister has it) and reolink and went with reolink, the quality of the image was much better and the app was more useful. Reolink also has ptz and other cameras you can add to the nvr, i went with a 5x zoom and can read road signs at 240ft away.
Which Reolink? I am building a new house and was going to run ethernet to camera locations so I could upgrade to a POE system if needed, but was just planning on using some Wyze V3 cameras in the locations for a budget video security system.
I have 6 cameras - 4x 820 series from the set and and 2x 520 series bought separately. 1-9 out of 18 red IR dots dimmed or completely black now on all 6 cameras.

Seems to be a good deal, however, I mixed over the NVR. NVR is fine for Reolink cameras, but I have 6 Dahua cameras and 5 Axis cameras besides and it is hit and miss getting them to work with ONVIF on this NVR. No issues with my Dahua NVR.
AI seems to be working pretty good in regards to Vehicle and Person detection. What I don't like is you need to actually go to the NVR and add any cameras. No a big deal but, can do this directly from the Dahua NVR web interface.
Lorex seems to have some good deals on the go now with the extra 25% off and Extra 5% for first order sign up. (Email and Text). Brings a comparable system down to the same price as the Reolink.
My friend has 2 Lorex systems - 16 Channel and 8 Channel. No issues so far.
Reolink has deals on all the time. Lorex may take a little longer.
Best of Luck.

I have the same system about a year now. No issues.
Had a different Reolink system for 5 years before that and no issues.
Simple and user friendly. No issues so far.
They perform well. No issues or video degradation.
Nah. They always go on sale. I wouldn't sweat it.
