Reolink 6 12MP camera system.
Found this on special over boxing day period and was too good to miss out. Good coverage with 6 camera, comes with 6 x 18m ethernet cables and mounting options. Reolink has the best value to image quality ratio so happy with all though wok probably upgrade storage to maximise review time.

At a glance
This Reolink PoE security system is a strong fit for households wanting broad, reliable coverage across entry points, driveways and outdoor areas. Its main strengths are detailed footage, local 2 TB recording, night monitoring and two-way audio. It is best for buyers comfortable with a wired installation, as it is less flexible to set up than simpler battery or plug-and-play camera options.
What it’s great for
- Whole-home perimeter monitoring
- Driveway surveillance
- Front door monitoring
- Outdoor area coverage
- Local video recording
Where it works best
- Detached homes
- Townhouses
- Large residential blocks
- Garages and driveways
- Front and back outdoor areas
Who it’s for
- Homeowners
- Families
- Renovators
- DIY home security buyers
- Users wanting local storage without subscription fees
Things to consider
This wired PoE system offers stronger reliability than many wireless kits, but installation is more involved and it is less convenient to reposition than battery-powered or fully wireless alternatives.
Smart home integration score
8/10 - Works with Google Assistant and Alexa, making it easier to view and control within a broader smart home setup.
Night vision performance
8/10 - Up to 30 m night vision supports clear after-dark monitoring for common residential outdoor areas.
Outdoor weather suitability
Well suited to outdoor home monitoring such as driveways, entry points and yard-facing positions.
Pet & package monitoring fit
Good for front door and yard monitoring, with motion alerts and two-way audio useful for checking deliveries or activity around pets.
Installation ease
6/10 - PoE wiring improves reliability, but setup is more involved than wireless cameras and may take longer in larger homes.
Key benefits
- 6-Camera Coverage: Helps monitor multiple entry points and outdoor zones at the same time for broader property visibility.
- PoE Wired Setup: Power and data run through one Ethernet cable per camera, reducing cable clutter and supporting a more stable connection than typical wireless setups.
- 2 TB Local Storage: Keeps recordings stored on the included hard drive so you can review footage without relying on a cloud subscription.
- Night Vision: Supports visibility up to 30 m, helping maintain surveillance after dark in driveways, yards and entry areas.
- Motion Detection: Sends attention to movement around the home so you can check events sooner instead of reviewing hours of footage.
- Two-Way Audio: Lets you speak to visitors, delivery drivers or anyone near the cameras through the connected system.
- Flexible Camera Placement: Cameras can be mounted in different positions to suit varied home layouts and common security blind spots.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility: Works with Google Assistant and Alexa for easier viewing and smart home integration.
Q: Does this Reolink system need Wi-Fi for each camera to work
A: No. Reolink PS6KD05-8 uses PoE, so each camera gets power and data through one Ethernet cable back to the NVR rather than over Wi-Fi. That gives a stable wired setup, but camera placement is limited by where those cables can be run.
Q: Can I add more cameras to the 8-channel NVR later
A: Yes. Reolink PS6KD05-8 includes 6 cameras and an 8-channel NVR, so the recorder has room for 2 more compatible cameras. Expansion is only useful if those extra camera positions can also be reached with suitable cabling.
Q: Will I need a monthly subscription to save recordings
A: No. Reolink PS6KD05-8 records to the included 2TB hard drive, so everyday footage can be stored locally without a cloud plan. Recording time still depends on how many cameras are active and whether recording is continuous or motion-based.
Q: How long does the 2TB drive keep recorded footage
A: Storage time varies. With 6 cameras recording at 12MP, the 2TB drive will fill faster on continuous recording than on motion-only recording. This system suits buyers who want local storage and may add capacity later for a longer recording history.
Q: Is the night vision strong enough for a long driveway
A: Yes, for many homes. Reolink PS6KD05-8 has night vision reaching 30 metres, which suits typical driveways, front yards and side access. Detail is strongest when the subject is within that range and the camera has a clear line of sight.
Q: How involved is installation for six PoE cameras in one home
A: Installation is more involved than a battery system. Each of the 6 cameras needs its own Ethernet run back to the NVR, so the main job is planning cable paths. PoE avoids separate power at each camera, but it is still a wired setup.
Q: Can it work with Google Assistant or Alexa at home
A: Yes. This system works with Google Assistant and Alexa, which suits basic voice-assisted monitoring in a connected home. Its main focus is still wired local surveillance, so it is less about broad smart-home automation than app-based camera management.
