FAQs

What is the best position to install the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi for optimal coverage?
Due to its ultra-wide field of view, this camera is best suited for large, open areas. Installing it in a tight or enclosed space may result in walls or ceilings reflecting infrared light at night, which can affect image clarity.

What are the advantages of a dual-lens camera?
This camera features two lenses that deliver 180° ultra-wide views in 16MP UHD. Instead of using multiple single-lens cameras to monitor a wide area, one dual-lens camera saves installation time and offers seamless panoramic coverage with minimal distortion. Both live view and playback are merged into a single image.
