I SWITCHED from 4K to 2K Security Cameras – Reolink CX410

I SWITCHED from 4K to 2K Security Cameras – Reolink CX410

Today, I switched my 4K Reolink NVR cameras to the Reolink CX410 which is only a 4MP 2K camera. I downgraded the resolution to get better quality footage at night.

    Hey can any one recommend a good 24/camera with good night vision

  2. @mrprfct7069 on January 18, 2025 at 11:01 pm

    I am in TX as well. Have you tested the RLC 1224-a? If so, how does the night vision compare to the cx410? I only interested for night vision clarity

  3. @chicosuabe79 on January 18, 2025 at 11:01 pm

    I thought the 12mp camera was better but it’s a lie, I use Reolink

  4. @DelAramAbbasi-cf7uj on January 18, 2025 at 11:01 pm

    Hello, what do you recommend for a shared garage?

  5. @cliffclavin2503 on January 18, 2025 at 11:03 pm

    You need to do a video for us folks who live in cold weather. Every one of my real length cameras fails every night for the last week. If the temperature gets down below 20°F I can no longer access any of my real estate cameras. My Lorex cameras work just fine. I would never ever recommend real cameras for anybody who lives in a colder climate.

    Can I add a Reolink wide angle 4k camera to my Swann 8580 NVR

  7. @dmac2890 on January 18, 2025 at 11:05 pm

    Nice videos I like your details and value your opinion. Do you like the CX410 better than the eufyE330 camera? Who has the better app?

  8. @shaqdeez1 on January 18, 2025 at 11:05 pm

    Can you install this without internet?

  9. @weelass1968 on January 18, 2025 at 11:07 pm

    Hi, I’ve just purchased 2 CX410 cameras for the front and back garden and looking for a bit of advice as new to installing cameras. As the are POE cameras I’ve also purchased the ethernet cable but not sure what POE injector to buy. Can you recommend the best one please. Not planning on buying a NVR at this time. Thanks

  10. @jeremynewell9903 on January 18, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    I bought the CX410. Problem is that anything at distance is way too pixelated.

  11. @edwardebersole7298 on January 18, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    I prefer the color version. How much does these cameras cost and what are they called again? I am looking to eventually buy myself an NVR since I am going to be a first time home owner. I do have a Reolink account.

  12. @Samzep on January 18, 2025 at 11:09 pm

    Hi do you keep hdr off ?

  13. @ACAIDC on January 18, 2025 at 11:12 pm

    The CX410 does look pretty good. However, you haven’t tested it in total darkness. You still have your landscape lights and the floodlight above your garage turned on @4:00. Those will dramatically improve the image quality of any camera at night.

  14. @geomatrix5452 on January 18, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    An excellent upgrade! Before and after REALLY tells the story with no questions! 👍👍

  15. @lerodman on January 18, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    I was watching a very informational ad in between and I wanted to keep watching. It was going over the technology behind the color technology for reolink anyone know what video it was I hit skip but I guess it was not an ad coming up

  16. @sharhondaantionette1519 on January 18, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    How low can I mount the cameras ?

  17. @TauseefKhanb on January 18, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    I purchased and installed these cameras today.I am getting too many false notifications.I have set the sensitivity to low and enabled all the options suggested to avoid false notifications but I still keep on getting these notifications

  18. @theoverallhandyman5571 on January 18, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    How can I get this with Reolink 4g cellular options. No wires or WiFi. Love your channel

  19. @yojomojo6262 on January 18, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    Is this available as a dome camera set rather than a bullett style cameras?

  20. @SF-fm7ov on January 18, 2025 at 11:22 pm

    LH Please do a video on how settings such as resolution affect camera picture and quality on Reolink cameras.

  21. @awangazley on January 18, 2025 at 11:24 pm

    Sir, would this camera work if it connected via direct router? Via PoE injector?

    I bought the cam but it doesn’t want to connect to the internet (my wifi is working well). What to do?

  24. @antoniosever5535 on January 18, 2025 at 11:28 pm

    Hi LifeHackster, did you have trouble with any of these spotlights turning off and on every few seconds? It won’t stay on. I tried poe and with power adapter.. Thanks

  27. @ruudje2777 on January 18, 2025 at 11:35 pm

    It is a shame that they use the old H.264 codec for this 2K camera instead of the much more efficient H.265 codec as used in the 4K cameras, which allows you to write almost twice the amount of footage on the SD card.

  28. @SF-fm7ov on January 18, 2025 at 11:36 pm

    I replaced a 5M camera with the CX410. The night vision is much improved. I set up a couple of inexpensive solar warm white lights that come on at night (Amazon). No more bug problems either as the IR attracted bugs like crazy in summer. I think for the close views, the CX410 is a great choice. I have the NVR with10 cameras and will be replacing up to 7 of them with the CX410 soon.

  29. @DarrylMurphysr on January 18, 2025 at 11:37 pm

    Does it have zoom capability?

  30. @hanse.3426 on January 18, 2025 at 11:38 pm

    Hi. How can I connect the cx410 poe to the NVr WiFi?

  31. @JRidgely on January 18, 2025 at 11:39 pm

    I’m sold on these.

  32. @smallnuts2 on January 18, 2025 at 11:39 pm

    I have a reolink nvr system. I would like to upgrade to a nvr system but, cameras that have two way audio.
    Any recommendations?

  33. @MintyElder on January 18, 2025 at 11:40 pm

    I have been binge watching your channel for a while. This video made me upgrade my old bnc system with a new Reolink system with these cameras.

  34. @JoshuaXiong on January 18, 2025 at 11:40 pm

    How about at night without the light on and without night vision on?

  35. @Foxtrot1967 on January 18, 2025 at 11:41 pm

    Love your American flag.

  36. @williammelgar7553 on January 18, 2025 at 11:44 pm

    I can only see my cx 410 when I’m connected to the same wifi. As soon as I leave i only get notifications but no live view. How do I do that?

  37. @deputy_vortexx9623 on January 18, 2025 at 11:44 pm

    Opinions on having the 410 in the back yard and 810 in the front

  38. @zoomdiepie75 on January 18, 2025 at 11:45 pm

    You should try 8k cctv camera and yes , it does exist for some reason

  39. @sandiegojoey1 on January 18, 2025 at 11:45 pm

    I have 4 ring cams, I don’t want to replace them all but I want high resolution performance for my front door/porch.

    Is there a way to add this camera and keep my Ring cams? Also, is it possible to add this to my Ring network to be triggered to record by Ring?

  40. @user-ko4pe9yd4e on January 18, 2025 at 11:46 pm

    With Riolink can you access recordings from the app you are away from home? Not live stream, but recordings. If so, does this require a cloud subscription or a NVR?

  41. @BLcruise on January 18, 2025 at 11:46 pm

    Great video. I made the change from my Reolink RLC811A to the CX410. The only thing I notice is that the latest CX410’s firmware from the Reolink website removed the smart night mode from the app. Hopefully they fix that issue soon.

  42. @planbparadise2046 on January 18, 2025 at 11:47 pm

    I know the image quality isn’t the same on youtube as in reality of these products. My question is as follows: Can any of the cams read the numberplate of a car across the street????

  43. @lionscott1663 on January 18, 2025 at 11:48 pm

    Does this cameras record 24/7 without internet?

  44. @dcjgt2 on January 18, 2025 at 11:49 pm

    Got 7 and going back for 4 more cx410. Not so water friendly. How does my wired NVR connect to wireless 510wa? And is the nvr friendly with Hanwha QNV-7082R Wisenet Q Network Indoor 4MP Dome Camera?

    Thanks

    Eye spy..

  45. @Tomtrong-y1b on January 18, 2025 at 11:51 pm

    I’ve found an even better approach. Avoid Reolink equipment and you will resolve your problems. From bizarre incompatibilities (such as their NVR not working with a wireless mouse) this just isn’t worth anything. You can get HK cameras for the same money and have zero compatibility issues. I can’t stream the Reolink 811 cameras to my other NVR’s or Blue Iris. It’s just issue after issue. No more Reolink for me. It’s junk as far as I’m concerned. It’s hard to believe these people test their equipment very thoroughly. Incompatibility DESTROYS value. Reolink is the king of incompatibility.

  46. @roberthowell1794 on January 18, 2025 at 11:51 pm

    WOW just WOW, glad I found this before I bought my first camera! Thank you

  47. @lildirt1892 on January 18, 2025 at 11:51 pm

    How you show them on tv?

  48. @gicumorar6771 on January 18, 2025 at 11:52 pm

    Turn off the lights for the second one. LOL

  49. @Robert-gg2vk on January 18, 2025 at 11:52 pm

    Looks good but I need something what is not PoE. Any advice?:)

  50. @TylerDurden404 on January 18, 2025 at 11:53 pm

    can you post video comparison of text ie license plate readability of the 4K and 2K Security Camera ?
    can do black and white video comparison of the 4K and 2K Security Camera at night etc?

    does reolink 4K camera also any cameras with color night mode like the CX410?

    Also how big is the file size of the 4K vs 2K videos?
