Full Reolink PoE Security System Install

Full Reolink PoE Security System Install

For this project, we installed a complete Reolink PoE (Power over Ethernet) security system for a residential property, delivering reliable surveillance with local recording and crisp 4K video quality.

Scope of Work:

6 Reolink PoE cameras (4 outdoor, 2 indoor)
Ethernet cabling run through attic and basement
Exterior-rated RJ45 terminations with weather-sealed enclosures
Wall-mounted PoE switch setup
NVR installation and configuration for 24/7 recording
Remote access via Reolink app with user training included
Why It Matters:
PoE systems offer unmatched reliability compared to wireless cameras—no batteries, no lag, and no subscription fees. With all footage recorded locally, the client maintains full control over their system.

Client Result:
The homeowner now has real-time access to every angle of their property—day or night—with motion alerts and remote viewing from their phone. Another home, smart and secure.

Project Tasks

  • NVR installation

    Installed a Reolink 4K NVR in the basement with direct Ethernet backhaul for maximum reliability and bandwidth. Final setup included hard drive formatting, remote access configuration, and LAN/static IP assignment.

  • Attic Switch

    Added a PoE switch in the attic to serve all second-story camera drops. Power and connectivity were routed from the main switch using a pre-run line through existing conduit.

  • Camera Installs

    Mounted and wired Reolink 843A and 820As cameras with RJ45 seals. Exterior runs were sealed with black silicone for weatherproofing. Final placement focused on key entry points and minimizing ladder access for future maintenance.
