What the manufacturer states

These are the maker's own listing bullets, kept as the citable source for the specifications above rather than paraphrased into claims we cannot attribute.

  • 4K Ultra HD & 5X Optical Zoom & 123° Wide Angle: The varifocal lens allows you to 5X zoom in on the distant object without compromising the 8MP resolution. Cover almost every angle with the built-in wide 123° viewing angle (H: 105°, D: 123°), allowing you to keep an eye on what matters most.
  • Human/Vehicle Detection with Smart Alerts: This 811A PoE camera uses advanced AI to accurately identify people and vehicles by their shapes, reducing false alarms caused by animals, moving shadows, or light changes. You can easily adjust detection zones and sensitivity in the app to focus only on the areas that matter, ensuring more accurate alerts and fewer unnecessary notifications.
  • Full Color Night Vision with Spotlights: This 4K outdoor camera enables you to view clear images with brilliant color in live video streaming and playback. Once an intruder is detected, the camera's spotlights and siren will be triggered to warn off the would-be criminal. You could also manually activate the spotlights to stop the crime before it happens.
  • Time-Lapse Videos and Multiple Recording Options: With time-lapse videos, you can keep tracking your 3D printing, see the whole construction process in a few minutes, or capture beautiful views from sunrise to sunset. Time-lapse Videos or Recording Videos can both be saved on a microSD card (Up to 512GB, Not included), Reolink NVR, or FTP server. No hidden fee will be charged, and no extra subscription will be needed for multiple recording options.

Common questions


How far can the REOLINK RLC-811A PoE Security Camera, 5X Optical Zoom, 4K identify someone?

REOLINK does not publish both a sensor resolution and a focal length for this product, and DORI distance cannot be derived without both. Rather than estimate one, this sheet leaves it out. If you have the manufacturer datasheet to hand, the DORI calculator on this site works the distance out from those two figures directly.

What is the infrared range of the REOLINK RLC-811A PoE Security Camera, 5X Optical Zoom, 4K?

REOLINK does not publish an infrared range for this product, so this site does not state one. An invented figure would be worse than no figure, because a reader would plan a camera position around it. Where a maker does publish a range, treat it as the distance its own lamp reaches in ideal conditions rather than the distance at which a face stays identifiable.

What specifications does REOLINK publish for this product?

Resolution: 8 MP, Optical zoom: 5 x. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.

Is the REOLINK RLC-811A PoE Security Camera, 5X Optical Zoom, 4K worth buying?

The same five times optical zoom in a fixed bullet body rather than a motorised head, which is cheaper and has nothing in it that can seize. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits

Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
