Great doorbell camera
A fantastic camera. Easy to set up, full of features to customise to your preferences and no subscription required to receive email or push notifications. The thing I like most is that the chime rings inside without the visitor having to push the button and I get notified on my mobile if I am in the back yard or away so I never miss anything. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that I can't read car licence plates in my driveway but it is 20 metres away and for the price I can't complain.

At a glance
The Reolink 2K Wired PoE Video Doorbell with Chime is a dependable wired doorbell camera for households that want stable front-door monitoring, smart alerts, and local recording without subscription fees. Its key strengths are PoE connectivity, clear day-and-night footage, and compatibility with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Reolink NVRs. The main limitation is that wired PoE installation is less convenient than battery or simple Wi-Fi alternatives.

Things to consider
This model is best suited to homes that can support PoE wiring, so it is less flexible to install than battery-powered or basic Wi-Fi video doorbells.
Smart home integration score
8/10 - Works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and compatible Reolink NVR systems for flexible home monitoring.
Rental suitability
Low to moderate - best for properties where PoE cabling can be installed, so it is less renter-friendly than battery models.
Package delivery monitoring fit
7/10 - Good for entry monitoring and visitor detection, though the black version prioritises wider horizontal coverage rather than a head-to-toe package-focused view.
Night vision performance
8/10 - Delivers clear night-time footage suitable for routine front-door monitoring in low light.
Key benefits
- Power over Ethernet: Uses a single cable for power and network connectivity, helping deliver a more stable connection than many wireless setups.
- Included Chime: Adds an in-home audible alert so visitors can be heard even when your phone is not nearby.
- Night Vision: Captures clear front-door footage after dark for around-the-clock monitoring.
- Two-Way Audio: Lets you speak with visitors remotely through the built-in microphone and speaker.
- Smart Person Detection: Sends more relevant alerts when someone is detected near your entry.
- Local Storage Support: Records to microSD cards up to 256 GB or to a compatible Reolink NVR, reducing reliance on cloud subscriptions.
- Smart Display Compatibility: Works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for convenient door checks on compatible smart home devices.
- Pre-Recording Support: Captures 6 seconds before motion events, giving extra context around activity at your door.
Q: Is this doorbell suitable without Ethernet cabling at the front door
A: No. This model uses Power over Ethernet, so one cable handles both data and power. It suits homes with an Ethernet run to the entry and is less practical where only battery or Wi-Fi style placement would work.
Q: Will the black VDB2K01WD show head-to-toe parcel drop-offs clearly
A: Not fully. The black VDB2K01WD uses a 4:3 image shape that favours wider horizontal coverage at the door. It can still watch the doorstep, but it is not the head-to-toe view style some parcel-focused doorbells use.
Q: Do I need a subscription to save doorbell recordings
A: No. When using a microSD card, this doorbell supports capacities as large as 256GB, or it can record to a compatible Reolink NVR. Ongoing recording does not depend on a monthly cloud plan, but storage hardware is still needed.
Q: Does this Reolink doorbell work with Apple HomeKit devices
A: No. This model is listed with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support, but Apple HomeKit compatibility is not listed. It is a better fit for homes already using Alexa or Google smart displays for visitor checks.
Q: Can it read car number plates from a driveway
A: No. Reolink VDB2K01WD is built for front-door monitoring rather than long-range plate capture. Its 5MP video can identify visitors near the entry, but plate clarity falls away with distance, angle, lighting and moving vehicles.
Q: Can I use it without a Reolink NVR installed
A: Yes. Reolink VDB2K01WD can work without an NVR by recording locally to a microSD card. A compatible Reolink NVR is useful if you want centralised recording across more cameras, but it is not required for basic doorbell use.
