Our take on the Reolink RLC-520A 5MP Outdoor PoE Security IP Camera

The Reolink RLC-520A is a wired outdoor security camera that runs on Power over Ethernet, so one cable carries both power and data. It records 5MP video, has a built-in microphone for sound, a motion sensor and a microSD slot for local recording. It suits people who already have or will run Ethernet cabling and want a dependable camera without subscription fees. Compared with Wi-Fi cameras it is more stable and needs no nearby outlet, but it is not wireless and needs a PoE switch, injector or NVR.

Questions and answers

Does the RLC-520A need a subscription?
No. It records to a microSD card or a compatible Reolink NVR, and the app works without a paid plan.
Can it work without a PoE switch?
It needs PoE power, so use a PoE switch, a PoE injector or a Reolink NVR with PoE ports. A plain router port will not power it.
Does it record audio?
Yes. It has a built-in microphone, so recordings include sound where local law allows it.
Is it weatherproof?
It is built for outdoor use. Mount it under cover where possible and protect the cable connection from water.
Does it pan and tilt?
No. The lens is fixed, so aim it carefully at installation; there is no motorized movement or zoom.
How much footage fits on a microSD card?
It depends on card size and settings. A 128GB card holds several days to a few weeks of motion-triggered clips.
Where is the Reolink RLC-520A 5MP Outdoor PoE Security IP Camera cheapest?
At Newegg, for $69.99, as of our latest check.
