If you choose to install a separately purchased hard drive, please ensure it is a Surveillance-Grade HDD with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM or lower . Higher RPM drives (e.g., 7200 RPM) may cause overheating or compatibility issues. This PoE Network Video Recorder can integrate Human/Vehicle Detection, PTZ, Auto-Tracking, Two-Way Talk, Motion-Triggered Spotlights, Siren, etc features from all Reolink IP cameras, allowing you to build an intelligent & cutting-edge system on your own. 1x USB 3.0 Port for Data Transfer Need to backup a large capacity of footage to your device from time to time?

Review: No inbuilt PoE or HDD but works great when set up - Solid, reliable recorder. Set it up with 3x 4TB WD drives and it's been running 24/7 without a hiccup. Interface is clean, footage retrieval is straightforward, and it integrates well with Home Assistant. 36 channels gives plenty of room to grow. Important note: no built-in PoE — cameras connect over your network, so you'll need a separate PoE switch. Worth knowing before you buy.
Review: Easy setup works like a dream - Bought this to work with my 2 new cameras, once I’d installed the hard drive it setup and connected to my cameras very fast. There’s no deviation from what the camera sees quality wise and the image recorded and that’s the same with the sound. It’s very easy to use and is the perfect nvr for my Poe cameras! It’s worth noting that it’s compatible other camera makes, but if your using it for Poe cameras you will need a Poe injector as this doesn’t provide power over Ethernet directly

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If it is recommended that each PoE Switch connect no more than 4 POE cameras then how do you attach the 36 cameras that the RNL36 can support?**
A: Hello. For RLN36, you can connect 4 PoE switches, and you can connect 36 cameras in total. We recommend connecting 9 cameras to each switch.

**Q: What is the maximum number of cameras that can be attached to any of the PoE switches?**
A: Hi, It is recommended that each PoE Switch connect no more than 4 POE cameras.

**Q: Can the Reolink 4K PTZ PoE RLC-823A camera connect and take power via network port to the NVR or does it go via switch?**
A: Hello. RLN36 doesn't support PoE. So you need to connect the 823A to this NVR via a PoE switch.

**Q: Will that nvr support different brands of the ip cameras for example d-link ones?**
A: Hello. Afraid not. Reolink NVR is designed for the Reolink camera. We recommend using the Reolink Poe camera and adapter wifi camera with this security NVR.
