3/23/2025 : It was pretty easy to set up with the Reolink doorbell. I played with the options, quite pleased with the results. I do wish that (1) after 5 minutes of an event push notification, pressing the notification would take me to the event recording instead of the live view, (2) the iOS app would remember my filter preferences when I go to playback, otherwise I always have to set it (I almost always just care about people, not motion). Works solid on my network through LAN, and connects with doorbell through home wifi (I turned hub wifi off). Looking forward to setting up everything with poe, for more peace of mind. I can definitely recommend this as a great option for home camera security. The Reolink camera video and audio quality are excellent compared to other competitors!

Con - Instructions are weak, no wiring info and resetting the setup for each camera. Pro - Once you figure it out, It works great! Everything works better, faster and clearer than just using client alone. Another odd plus, if you clear the drive HD and still use the SD cards in the cameras. You can pull the cards and review the other days footage. Kind of a back up of the cleared back up.

I originally purchased several different versions of Reolink cameras over the holidays. These purchases included the RLC-823S1W, Trackmix, Argus PT, Argus PT Ultra, and several of the Duo 2 in both plug-in and solar versions. Over the course of two months the only issue I encountered is the Trackmix lost connection at one point, but that was corrected by unplugging the device. I decided to invest in the Home Hub Pro because I liked the idea of constant recording by my plug-in cameras. What followed was a lot of frustration and several hours lost of troubleshooting devices that had never caused an issue before the Home Hub Pro was implemented. It changed my fully positive view of Reolink and prompted me to write a review to warn people away from the device. There were so many issues that it is easier to list them as bullet points:- LAN Error: I installed the device on Tuesday afternoon and immediately had problems getting it to register in the same LAN. I used the same spare port and even the same ethernet cable that I had used when originally configuring the other cameras as standalone devices. None of those had issues registering as being in the same LAN when adding to the Reolink app or the Reolink client on PC.- Difficulty Adding Devices: The instructions walk you through adding devices already on the LAN. Since the Home Hub Pro kept acting as if it was not on the LAN, the devices did not show in the app correctly to connect to it. There is another step that allows you to add based on cameras already in the app itself, but it took multiple attempts to push the blue Connect button before they would add. It would repeatedly give an error about not being in the same LAN, but after multiple attempts it would eventually add it successfully. Every camera had this issue when being added. The Argus PT Ultra first worked this way, but then instantly lost connection. It never worked with the Home Hub Pro despite being compatible.- Offline Every 6-8 Hours: The primary issue that began the frustration is how the Home Hub Pro would randomly lose connection and display the red light roughly every 6-8 hours. I did not realize the Home Hub Pro acted as a single point of failure, so when this happens all cameras stopped responding. I estimate every 6-8 hours because by Wednesday morning it was offline and had to be unplugged to work again. It was then offline again by the time I got off work, lost connection again shortly before I went to bed, and was then offline again Thursday morning. Not having cameras during the most sensitive times of being asleep or away from home is unacceptable. That alone was enough to frustrate me and help me decide within two days I would be returning the device. I kept it connected until a 250-foot cable arrived to fix the problem (explained below). That took a couple of days, and within that timeframe the random disconnects continued.- Push Notification Errors: Two errors were occurring for this topic. All original settings of the cameras get reset after you add them to the Home Hub Pro. Annoying, but a quick fix. One of the problems was that I only had them configured to show people and animals, and those two would never trigger even when I stood in front of the cameras. However, it would notify me every time a vehicle was detected on our street, which means I was getting flooded with unnecessary irrelevant notifications and would miss any important ones like a person on the property. That is another major flaw. The second push notification error I noticed was that I would still receive them even when the Home Hub Pro was showing as offline. The way I even discovered that issue is because I received a notification, but when I selected it there was no way to view the feed due to the entire camera system being offline.- Cannot Transition Back to Previous Wi-Fi: The Home Hub Pro broadcasts a wi-fi signal, but it is weak compared to what I was using. There are instructions for switching from the Home Hub Pro wi-fi to your other connections. It does not work. The cameras see the connection, but changing to it results in an error stating the change cannot be made because the Home Hub Pro does not recognize the camera as being on the same LAN. That means when deleting the device from the Home Hub Pro in the app it does not prompt to switch the camera back to standalone use. That means you have to completely delete them from the app and add them manually back. That should have been a simple process since I had saved the bar codes of the cameras to my phone and had access to the UIDs, but then that led to the next issue.- Passwords Changed Without Authorization: Somehow the Home Hub Pro changed the passwords and/or username for every camera. I created a special password for these cameras, but not even one worked. That means they could not be added back to the app or client without resetting the devices. That is extremely inconvenient, because removing some of these cameras to reset and plug back in to the router for configuration was going to be very difficult. For example, the RLC-823S1W is bulky and heavy, so removing it from a corner of the house that required an extension ladder to install was going to be a challenge. That is why the 250-foot ethernet cable was mentioned earlier. I decided it was easier to buy a very long cable and run it to each camera long enough to configure it after resetting and connecting it back to my wi-fi network. This is also where I learned that resetting the devices does not reset everything about them. Apparently, resets do not erase your SD card, which is a good thing, but it also remembered the name of the Home Hub Pro broadcast and initially tried to connect to it first even though it was unplugged and back in the box at this point.I know things can go wrong with technology and perhaps I received a lemon, but the lost time trying to troubleshoot a brand new device and the frustration of having to reconfigure all of my cameras has changed my viewpoint of Reolink products. The Home Hub Pro became a single point of failure that caused issues with cameras that had worked flawlessly for two months. The most common recommendation I found online was to make sure the Home Hub Pro is running the latest version of the firmware. Unlike the cameras that saw updates upon initial configuration, the Home Hub Pro stated it was the latest version when a manual check of the website shows that is not the case. As of when I encountered the issues in April 2025 the latest firmware release was v3.3.0.369_24112931 from December 2024.I cannot recommend the Home Hub Pro to anyone as there are clearly issues they still need to correct. I opted to return it back to Amazon and simply leave the cameras working as standalone hardware that records only motion to the SD cards.

Nice hub for my 10 cameras. 4 WI-FI and 6 POE. Not having to worry about SD cards in each camera is such a big bonus. It's great to have all the cameras recording constantly and not just when motion is detected. I put in an 8TB hard drive and it works perfect with the hub. The included 2TB is good but with the amount of cameras I'm running, it sucked up storage quickly. The included 2TB Toshiba drive is however, VERY quiet compared to the Seagate I replaced it with.Set up of the hub was ridiculously easy. The app runs very smoothly on my phone both at and away from home. Cameras do seem to load quicker and be more stable when away from home. Picture quality to be honest, appears the same. I don't see how a 4K image can get any better unless you're going from an older phone to a newer one.My only caveat is that when my eero router runs updates (which in my case seems to be weekly), I get the red ring on the hub telling me there's an issue- I don't know what the issue is (perhaps going offline while the update downloads?) but a simple "reboot" from the app and the hub returns to its happy blue ring self. Nowhere in the manual is there a good explanation for the red ring and what causes it to appear, hence the loss of a star.I've had the hub pro now for about 6 months. I highly recommend it especially if you have a lot of cameras.

This hub absolutely amazing! I was worried that I would not have any control or be able to access my cameras, but there's an interface for the hub, web client, and the app all sync and work well. I also noticed that viewing my cameras through the hub opened within seconds, which was a big jump from my NVR. The ability to add more cameras whether it be wi-fi or wired compared to the NVR is very impressive. Reolink did a great job with this unit. Thanks again.

This hooked up to our 5 cameras and 1 doorbell camera easily! Recording 2T without a monthly subscription. Very happy!

Ok product. Had to reformat the ssd that came with it twice already. The wifi range is also no good. Can barley connect to my camera in the drive way from about 10yards away. Needs a better wireless connection and doesn’t even load half of the drive way videos. What’s the point in that. Camera is more for looks than functionality. Did a ton of research before buying Reolink and now I kind of regret it.

Great Products and Customer Service
