## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this camera work if i power it over ethernet, using, for example a tp-link tl-sf1005p?**
A: Hi, this is a POE camera and it can be connected to a POE switch via a single network cable to get this camera work.  Please make sure that the PoE injector/switch is 802.3af compliant (48V) and supports active mode.

**Q: can the RLC-520A be rotated via the software at any time?**
A: Hello. RLC-520A doesn't support PT, so you can't turn it by software. But you can manually adjust the orientation of the lens. If you have any concerns, please contact us by Amazon message.

**Q: Will it work with motioneyeos and a raspberry pi please?**
A: Dear Customer, We are sorry that we can't give you a positive answer as we haven't tested on third-party software like motioneyeos and raspberry pi. and we recommend you use the Reolink security camera with Reolink software to avoid incompatibilities.

**Q: Rlc-520 poe vs  this model   520a 
after an hour of studying the two different cameras i cannot see the difference except price was the difference**
A: Hello, I have the 520a. Both cameras have motion detection with variable sensitivity, but the 520a has two extra motion detection modes: person detection & vehicle detection - which you can select independently if you wish. Hope this helps. Regards.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Minidome with benefits
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 May 2023*

Got a relatively large home CCTV system of 9 cameras, mixed brands, recording 24/7 on a HikVision NVR. Mostly bullet cameras as felt easier to site and point where wanted as typically minidomes can be adjusted pan and tilt only (no twist like a bullet camera, typically…)Due to where the camera was going I opted for a minidome as more discrete. Ordered an alternative cheaper brand initially, but first one unstable (returned no issue), second one glitchy and also unstable so returned too. I’d skipped the Reolink minidome initially as wasn’t the cheapest, but as I already have a Reolink bullet which works like a treat and has rock solid firmware it seemed the obvious choice.Not sure if I had missed it in the description, but opened the box to check and inspect and had a pleasant surprise… Other cheaper minidomes typically have limited flexibility when installing as can pan and tilt (I.e. Left/Right and Up/Down) but that doesn’t always get you exactly where you want. However with this Reolink, it also has a twist ability.That might not sound like a big thing, but it basically means you get the flexibility of where you want to point the camera just like a bullet but in the neat and discrete package of a minidome. 🙂 Win Win!Second very significant point I noticed was that on many other cheaper minidomes, you remove the dome/cover with an allen/torx key, install/fix the camera then re-install the cover. This typically results in allowing moisture/humidity into the camera during install, and also means you don’t have a watertight seal to the elements. I’m turn this increases the chances of having condensation inside the camera which not only obscures the image but can also shorten the lifespan of the camera over time, even if packed with silica gel.The Reolink camera however doesn’t have either of those issues. Reason being is that to install the camera, you have a separate mounting plate which the camera clips onto, and the camera is sealed and doesn’t need to be opened or tampered with reducing or eliminating any issues from moisture/humidity.So, in short, really very impressed with the design and overall package of this minidome. Given that it gives the same benefits of a bullet but less intrusively due to being a minidome I will be looking to use these in the future.On the firmware side, I already have 1 Reolink bullet so was confident on that side but compared to the cheaper alternatives, the Reolink (Not generic IP camera firmware) firmware is responsive, simple and solid. As a mention, whilst there isn’t an option to change the codec from the standard h265 if you check the Reolink website there is a h264 rtsp feed which you can use for older equipment that doesn’t support h265 so this camera should be able to work on almost any NVR or viewer. 🙂And lastly the one I purchased was a 5MP (All my other cameras are 8mp/4K) but this provides a very clear image for a 5MP in my opinions and there is very little difference in overall image quality vs my 4K cameras.So overall 10/10 and very good value for money, will definitely be buying more in the future. 👍🏻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fully Configurable
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 September 2026*

Everything a CCTV Camera should be, great quality picture and works with DVR Recorder on a fixed Local IP Address, and most importantly you have full control over the configuration of the camera, would defo highly recommend Reolink.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera let down by the mounting system.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 October 2024*

Right, the good bits.Image quality great day or night, setup of reolink cameras are probably one of the best.The android app and pc app work fantastic and easy to use.I use blue iris and can confirm rtsp and onvif work fine.Customer services is probably the best I've had in the past 10 yrs.Now the bad bit:The mounting system isnt good at all, after following the instructions to the T. The camera would rotate super easy my kids 80gram air filled plastic ball moved it without any effort.I did contact reolink customer service who sent me out another before I sent the faulty one back at my request (there was a reason).Unfortunately the replacement was the same.To save messing about with returns etc I asked reolink if I could put a small screw in the replacement through the bracket and just kissing the body of the camera to hold it in place and asked if I did this would it affect my warranty to which I was told it wouldn't.It's pretty obvious this is a design flaw in this particular model (i do have other reolink models and they are all fantastic).Great camera all in all bit cant give 5 stars it loses one for the design and one for me having to use a screw to rectify it, which I shouldn't have to do!**UPDATEAfter seeing this review Reolink customer services has been in touch apologising. As an apology they have sent me a £5 refund.It's great to see a company actively looking at reviews of there products, once again really impressed with Reolinks customer service.I have given an extra star to reflect the customer service aspect. I know this is a product review but customer services is such an important part of a product too.
