Bullet style camera with the same (or greater FOV) of the old RLC-410.

I wanted to upgrade some old RLC-410 cameras with a newer set of cameras featuring Human detection at a minimum (animal detection would be even better). However I realised, almost too late, that none of the newer cameras have a field of view as good as the RLC-410 in the same form factor. The RLC-510 and RLC-810 both would introduce blind spots below the cameras due to their significantly reduced (by 14-16 degrees) vertical FOV.

The current camera positions don't allow for dome or PTZ cameras to be used. The RLC-811A comes very close with a vertical FOV of 55 degrees, but it also includes a significant price jump because of a zoom feature I'd never use. Are there any other options I've missed?

Cameras MUST be POE.

@gbee_140374135459980 RLC-811A/TrackMix are quite good but before concluding have a look at the comparison sheet prepared by a moderator at the Reddit Reolink community. https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/z6caqk/reolink_specs_comparison_charts/

@joseph_1979 Thanks for that, it's very helpful. The RLC-81MA, matches the RLC-410 in vertical FOV and exceeds it in horizontal which would be perfect to replace the RLC-410 in most locations I'm using them now. It's also cheaper than the RLC-811A, by a small amount, so my budget will go a little further. Unfortunately it's not available yet in the UK.

I guess I'll put this upgrade on hold while I wait for the RLC-81MA to launch here.

Now I just need to return the unopened RLC-510 that I rashly bought before checking the FOV values.

@gbee_140374135459980 Good. Always read the specifications of the device before purchasing and check the reviews from different sites. Being an engineer, this is what I do.

[GBee_140374135459980]

@joseph_1979 Yes, I too normally do extensive research before purchasing (software engineer). This was a stupid assumption on my part, that since Amazon listing describes the RLC-510 as the 'upgraded' version of the RLC-410-5MP, that they were direct replacements with same FOV. I realised my mistake within a couple of hours and tried to cancel the order, but was told it was too late.

@gbee_140374135459980 Try to take it up with the support. They might change it for you.
