We Install Reolink 4K 8-16MP
Security Camera Systems
4KGUARD does not install WIFI security cameras nor do we recommend them because of vulnerabilities like the above article talks about. We only recommend hard wired systems for the best security that cannot be tampered with. If we install a hard wired system at your home and you would like a WIFI camera added to a location that's not a high security concern, we do have WIFI cameras that work beautifully in conjunction with the hard wired systems we install. WIFI cams are good for things like doorbells or watching kids play in a secured area but wired cameras are best where security is a concern.
Reolink Systems Just Work - PERIOD
Its why we install them
There are no subscription fees with a Reolink home security camera system. The system includes a Network Video Recorder (NVR) with its own internal hard drive that can store surveillance footage at your home for up to a year. Let us install a Reolink Home Security Camera System you can rely on to keep your family and property safe. Once installed and set up at your home, using it is just as simple as using a RING camera system but Reolink systems are 10 times better and less expensive overall.
For comparison, Reolink cameras are 4 times more clear than Ring cameras.
Some Reolink cameras have optical zoom lenses that can be zoomed in, focused, and set to remain zoomed in on an area several hundred feet from where they're installed. Other Reolink cameras can provide 360 degree coverage along with customizable preset guard patrol options; it's like having your own 4k guard roaming your property.
Watch this amazing demo from the Reolink App on a smart phone. The camera is a 4K 8MP security camera from Reolink. It has 360 degree capability with numerous other features and this demonstration was done remotely on a phone from another state while the customer was travelling. Watch how it zooms in on a car tag across the street at night at a distance of approximately 200 feet. Just so you know, a Ring camera cannot do this, yet the Reolink camera being used in this demonstration cost less than $200.
The other videos show a much farther day time zoom. If you need a camera to watch a far away location like a gate in the distance or a garage or shed far from the cameras location, we have a great solution for you that you'll absolutely love.

There are basically 3 types of security cameras
1) WIFI cameras - which we do not recommend due to a weak signal or intermittent signal loss.
2) HD 1080p cameras - most WIFI cameras are 1080p resolution.
3) 4K cameras - This is the best security camera you can buy today, but keep in mind the higher the mega pixel, better the resolution. That why we only install cameras that are at least 8-16 MP.
We only install Reolink security cameras that are 4K resolution with 8-16 mega pixel clarity because they are the best bang for your buck. They range in price from $95 to below $300 when on sale. Purpose of the higher mega pixel is so when you blow up an image, its more clear. If you blow up a 1080p resolution image from a wifi camera it will become very blurry. This will leave you with telling the police, "The blurry man" came by and they won't be able to help you.
8MP to 16 MP in 4K resolution is the preferred security camera parameters if crystal clear images and video are important to you.
We know security cameras can be a complex subject but they don't have to be with our help. We only focus on two things for our customers:
High quality cameras at a reasonable cost
Easy to use interface
If a security camera and system interface is too complex for the average homeowner to use, it becomes a useless solution and a waste of money to install it. We will only install what we value and use ourselves.
The System We Like
Reolink 4K Cameras with 8MP or Higher with Color Night Vision
Reolink 4K 8MP cameras produce astounding video clarity of 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is 4 times the clarity of WIFI 1080p cameras. They're equipped with motion detection which can tell the difference between humans, cars or animals and custom settings allow you to choose which type of motion turns it on and which doesn't.
Features We Like:
5-16X Optical Zoom Technology lenses can be set to remain zoomed in where needed. Placed on a house, they can be set to focus at the street level or even across the street with precision.
Have a long driveway? Set the zoom to only focus on the end of it bypassing a great distance between the house and the focal point of interest.
Expandable capacity hard drives. Reolink NVR's (network video recorder) can accommodate 24/7 recording for months at a time or you can set the cameras to only record when motion is detected. Motion only recording saves hard drive space and becomes easier to locate when browsing hours or days of footage.
Easily search and find what happened. Instantly grab a still shot or video clip and download it to your computer or use your smart phone to text it to someone moments after it occurred.
Two way talk and built-in siren. The siren can be set on or off to trigger with motion or triggered manually to let someone know they're being watched.
On camera microphones can be turned on or off when the cameras are recording.
Infrared black and white or color night vision for enhanced clarity in the dark.
Manually turn on camera lights at anytime with one touch in the App or computer interface. Set lights to turn on when there is motion; this is what turns night footage into color.
Another Reolink camera we like allows you to manually pan it 360 degrees to keep an eye on everything in a complete circle. This camera at a cost of $200 beats any competitor camera by far. It's capabilities are phenomenal for a security camera and is our number one pick. Custom set predetermined areas for this camera to focus on and it becomes a roaming guard watching and recording your property. Laying in your bed with phone in hand you can click buttons in the app to quickly view predetermined areas all around your property within 360 degrees of the camera.

Save recorded footage for months or up to a year
How long will footage be saved?
The best option for a Reolink NVR (network video recorder) has a pre-installed 2-4TB hard drive and will accommodate up to 16 cameras recording in 4K resolution with an astonishing 8-12 mega pixels. For comparison, a ring camera is 1080p resolution which is way below 0 mega pixels and a world away from 4K.
For example, 5 cameras set to record motion only will save approximately 4-6 months of recordings before it starts erasing the oldest footage. Upgrade the preinstalled hard drive to save footage up to a year and beyond. No need for a subscription like other camera systems, you store the footage at home where its safe & secure.
While the system can record 24/7, we do not recommend it because if you need to find a recorded event, you'd have to watch a lot of footage just to locate what you're looking for. With motion only recording, you can locate an event within a couple of minutes or even seconds after it happened.
RULE: The length of time recorded footage can be saved to the NVR will always depend on how many cameras you have, how much motion is happening in view of the cameras and what size the hard drive is. Expansion is always an option.
