RLC-843A - Reolink Smart 4K PoE IK10 Camera with 5X Optical Zoom
Description
Description
The Reolink RLC-843A is a 4K 8MP PoE IP camera engineered for exceptional durability and clarity. With an IK10 vandal-proof rating, this camera ensures no fear of physical damage outdoors. It resists impacts up to 20 joules, so a firm kick or thrown object won't crack the housing. Pair that with IP67 weatherproofing—the camera seals out dust and withstands heavy rain or snow. Perfect for high-risk areas such as entrances, driveways, storefronts, parking areas, and other high-traffic locations where detailed footage, reliable AI detection, and all-weather performance are essential.
The RLC-843A 1-Pack supports 5X optical zoom, color night vision, person/vehicle/animal detection, and more. Reolink promises 4K 8MP Ultra HD resolution—that equals roughly 3840 × 2160 pixels, four times more detail than 1080p. Unlike standard dome cameras, the RLC-843A combines 4K resolution with 5× optical zoom, allowing you to capture fine details without sacrificing image quality. The motorised varifocal lens provides precise control, enabling you to zoom in for astonishing detail or zoom out for a broader perspective.
Empowered by advanced smart detection technology, RLC-843A distinguishes between humans, vehicles, and animals, keeping you informed of true threats and important events. Smart AI detection minimises false alarms from moving shadows or passing wildlife, ensuring you receive accurate, actionable alerts. Stay connected to your home with two-way audio even when you're away—whether it's greeting a visitor at the door, instructing a delivery person, or deterring potential intruders, you are in control.
Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, this IP camera can transmit videos and be charged simultaneously via only one single network cable, making setup easy and quick. The entire setup takes under 15 minutes for most DIYers.
