Review: Very nice NVR with lots of features - Overall the features of this NVR are good for recording Reolink cameras and playing back video. You have the option to select the events you want to see, people, vehicles, animals, or all motion. The set-up is easy. The one feature that caught me by surprise was that the NVR acts as a DHCP server and reassigns the attached cameras to its own subnet. This causes issues trying to to use rtsp. The software has a defect, when the NVR is rebooted, cameras randomly do not reconnect, which are on that subnet. WiFi cameras always reconnect, just the wired cameras have the issue. I sometimes have to unplug and replug a camera several times to get it to be reconnected to the NVR. I have multiple camera models, and this issue happens with all of them. Update: March 31, 2025 - The reconnection issues have been resolved. Support had me upgrade to the most current firmware. Also, I reconfigured my LAN so that all of the PoE switches now connect directly to the back of the NVR. All of the cameras reconnect now just fine after a reboot. The latest firmware also has some nice enhancements. I am changing my rating to 5 stars.
Review: Best NVR on the market. - I mistakenly bought this thinking it had PoE, but realized its better that it doesn't. It has 3 bays for HDDs and I am running 12 TB of storage with 6 cameras, and ready to add even more. It has up to 32 channels which is more than enough even for a business. Been using it for 7 months now and I am very happy with Reolink products. I keep going back and forth if I want to switch to Unifi Protect, but Reolink just makes it SO EASY to use. Once you plug in a camera on your network, the NVR automatically detects it, it asks for its username and password, and then its added to your NVR. CCTV and Security doesnt get easier than this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have rack mount brackets for direct mounting to standard networking racks (not on a shelf)?**
A: Hello. Sorry. We do not have rack mount brackets to sell. The size of this NVR is 330mm*45mm, you can buy the stand according to this size.

**Q: Can my existing rln8-410 be plugged into this box and act as one of the four poe switches?**
A: Hello. It is regret to tell you that RLN8-410 NVR can't connect to this security recorder RLN36 directly. You can only connect the POE Switches (by seperate power) to the LAN ports of the RLN36.

**Q: Can you use Reolink cameras that are already connected to an existing network?**
A: Hello. Yes, Reolink cameras except battery-powered cameras can be added to this 36 Channel Network Video Recorder. Please make sure that this NVR and the camera are under the same network. Feel free to contact us via Amazon Message if you need further assistance.

**Q: Can this be set to only record motion or does it only record continuously ?**
A: Hello. This NVR can support both ways. You can set up the recording schedule to record motion, record continously, or both. Please contact us via Amazon Message if further help is needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to set up.
*by M***R on December 29, 2024*

So, I really only have 1 Reolink camera, it's the POE doorbell cam (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7S1HMPC/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams). I've had it for approximately a year now and have been using it with a 256GB SD card. So far, I have been happy with the performance. I have Wyze cams all over the place, but they aren't as reliable as I need them to be, so I decided to start replacing them with Reolink cams. I was debating whether I should get a kit with cameras, NVR and pre-installed HDD or with this one 36 channel. Since I have about 18 Wyze cams, I decided it would be best to get the 36 channel NVR. I bought a 16TB Toshiba N300 Pro HDD (https://www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop?ref=ppx_yo2ov_mob_b_pop&orderId=112-8633424-2744236&lineItemId=jhqmsvmonrmtqups&shipmentId=Qkflgn1S8&packageId=1&asin=B09TQ6ZZPV). Over the next 6 months I'll buy 2 more HDDs. The NVR was super easy to set up, it connected to my camera right away. Having 36 channels makes this NVR great value for the money spent. It connects to the camera quickly and it's picture quality is great. The NVR is very quiet even though it has a NAS HDD.
