Published May 7, 2026 • Updated May 11, 2026 - 4 min read
As cameras and security systems continue to evolve, protecting your sanctuary is now simpler than ever. However, with so many options available, finding the right set-up for your place can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to.
With the next-gen range of Reolink security cameras and some handy advice from The Good Guys home security expert David Linehan, you’ll be set up for success in no time.
Let’s get started…
Questions to answer before buying home security cameras
Shopping for a home security camera isn’t just about features – it’s also about finding what helps you feel safe, comfortable and in control at home.
“With so many great options available at The Good Guys, the key is getting clear on what suits your lifestyle first, then matching the tech to your needs,” says David Linehan.
Start by thinking about how you want your system to work day to day, he suggests, and ask yourself these questions:
Do you want a hardwired set-up, or is a wireless security camera the easier option for your space?
Are you monitoring indoors, outdoors or both?
Do you need full perimeter coverage, or just a clear view of your front door?
Is your Wi-Fi reliable, or would a 4G-enabled camera give you more peace of mind?
Once you have a clearer picture of what matters most, choosing the right camera becomes much simpler – and you can start exploring options, including the latest Reolink security cameras, that tick all your boxes. Here they are…
For porch protection: Reolink Wireless Battery Doorbell 2K with Chime
When choosing where to place security cameras, a high-traffic area such as the front porch makes a lot of sense. A Reolink doorbell camera lets you keep a keen eye on the entrance to your home with a 4MP picture and head-to-toe vision range; plus, with two-way audio, it allows you to answer from anywhere.
With AI detection for cars, people and packages, and with smart home integration, it’s like having your very own concierge at the front door.
For the full package: Reolink Argus 4K PT Ultra Solar
If you’re looking for a Reolink camera that can do it all, the Argus PT Ultra Solar might be the pick for you. With an ultra-sharp 4K resolution and 360 degrees of Automatic Motion Tracking, it provides highly detailed footage with fewer blind spots.
Plus, you can be confident that this camera will be up and running when you need it most – thanks to the attached solar panel, Dual-Band Wi-Fi and weather-resistant design.
For total coverage: Reolink E321 3MP HD Indoor WiFi PT Security Camera
Home safety isn’t just about what happens outside the house. If you’re worried about what your pets are getting up to when you’re gone, an indoor camera might be a good fit.
A Reolink E321 3MP HD Indoor WiFi PT Security Camera offers 355 degrees of horizontal range and 50 degrees of vertical range with a 3MP HD picture. It also includes night vision and smart detection for people and pets, so you can keep up with what’s happening in your home at all hours.
For non-stop connection: Reolink Go PT Plus
If reliability is the key to your peace of mind, a camera such as the Reolink Go PT Plus might be the answer. A 4G wireless connection, solar-charging and a weatherproof design make this home security camera an always-on hero for those with spotty internet or who live in rural homes.
The camera also comes with close to 360 degrees of range, 5MP Super HD picture quality and colour night vision to cover every angle with high clarity.
Is Reolink a good brand?
Reolink is a long-running and trusted brand offering cameras and security systems with a focus on innovative tech and user-centric design. Here are some of their products’ top features…
Easy to install
Not sure how to install security cameras? It might not be as hard as you think with Reolink’s user-friendly mounting bracket design. Reolink cameras can be mounted on a range of surfaces including walls, ceilings, corners or poles.
For solar-powered systems, the panel can be mounted on the camera or separately, depending on where you can find daylight.
No subscription required
If you’re looking for an easy way to back up your security footage, Reolink offers a cloud storage option for a monthly subscription. However, if you’re happy to manage your own data, you can store all video locally with no ongoing costs.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for easy backup
If you’d rather your camera data was stored safely on a local server, you can do this on many FTP-enabled Reolink cameras. This means that if your cameras are damaged or stolen, you’ll still have the footage. Just check if your device is FTP compatible and follow the set-up guide online.
