REOLINK Home Hub Pro, Centralized Control for up to 24 REOLINK Security Cameras, up to 16TB HDD Storage, 2TB HDD Included, AES-128 Encryption, 16MP Streaming, Wi-Fi 6, 120dB Siren. No Monthly Fees

I've been using the REOLINK Home Hub Pro for the past five months, and I can confidently say I am extremely happy with my purchase. It has become the central nervous system of my home security, managing all my Reolink cameras with absolute precision and no issues whatsoever. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was evident. Setting it up was straightforward, and integrating my existing Reolink cameras (both wired and Wi-Fi) was surprisingly seamless. The promise of no monthly fees for storage was a huge draw, and the included 2TB HDD, expandable up to a massive 16TB, means I have ample local storage for all my 24/7 recordings without worrying about subscription costs or cloud vulnerabilities. The centralized control for up to 24 security cameras is a game-changer. I can view and manage all my cameras from a single interface on the Reolink app, which is incredibly convenient. The 16MP streaming is fantastic, providing crystal-clear live views and playback, allowing me to zoom in on details with impressive clarity. The Wi-Fi 6 connectivity ensures that my cameras have a stable and fast connection to the hub, even those further away from my router. I've experienced absolutely no lag or drops in connection, which is crucial for reliable security monitoring. The AES-128 encryption for stored data provides peace of mind, knowing my footage is secure and private. And while I haven't had to rely on it frequently, the 120dB siren is a powerful deterrent, offering an extra layer of security that can be triggered manually or automatically by smart detection events. In five months of continuous operation, this hub has performed flawlessly. It's truly a "set it and forget it" solution that just works. If you have multiple Reolink cameras or are planning to expand your system and want robust local storage, advanced features, and absolute reliability without recurring fees, the REOLINK Home Hub Pro is an investment you won't regret. It has exceeded my expectations in every way.

7/2/2025 : I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! It has been ROCK SOLID for the past few months! I have not missed a single visitor or package! I was able to remove false notifications almost completely! And all for NO SUBSCRIPTION! Reolink are making some amazing devices! This is their newer style of NVR, and I highly recommend you doing your research, to figure out specifically what you need. This is definitely the future direction. I have one camera and one doorbell camera, and this has worked out perfectly so far, I have not felt a need to upgrade the hdd! Super snappy notifications. I recommend this system 2000% 3/23/2025 : It was pretty easy to set up with the Reolink doorbell. I played with the options, quite pleased with the results. I do wish that (1) after 5 minutes of an event push notification, pressing the notification would take me to the event recording instead of the live view, (2) the iOS app would remember my filter preferences when I go to playback, otherwise I always have to set it (I almost always just care about people, not motion). Works solid on my network through LAN, and connects with doorbell through home wifi (I turned hub wifi off). Looking forward to setting up everything with poe, for more peace of mind. I can definitely recommend this as a great option for home camera security. The Reolink camera video and audio quality are excellent compared to other competitors!

I’ll be honest — when I first looked at the price tag, I gave it that “Really, Reolink?” squint. But after getting hands-on with it, I’ve changed my tune. It’s actually a solid little hub that plays surprisingly nice with Home Assistant (and that’s no small feat). Setup wasn’t too painful either — definitely more “plug and sip coffee” than “bang head against wall.” Performance-wise, this thing is snappy. The hub keeps everything talking nicely and feels well thought out overall. I really like the option to connect cameras directly to the hub’s onboard WiFi — it does noticeably speed up response times… when it works. Unfortunately, if your camera’s more than about 35 feet away (especially on the 5GHz band), things can get a little hiccupy. You know that “camera offline” message that makes your heart drop? Yeah, you might see that if your setup’s spread out. My biggest gripe though? When you add your cameras through the hub, it changes the camera passwords. On its own. Without telling you what they are. It’s like it just goes, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got this,” and locks you out of your own camera. I don’t get a warm, fuzzy feeling about not having direct access to my own devices — that’s not exactly “user friendly,” Reolink. All in all, though, it’s a good product — stable, responsive, and a great companion for a Reolink camera setup, especially if you’re integrating with Home Assistant. Just be aware of the WiFi range quirks and the password mystery act. ⭐ Verdict: 4/5 stars – Great performance and integration, slightly sketchy WiFi range, and a weird password party you weren’t invited to.

I originally purchased several different versions of Reolink cameras over the holidays. These purchases included the RLC-823S1W, Trackmix, Argus PT, Argus PT Ultra, and several of the Duo 2 in both plug-in and solar versions. Over the course of two months the only issue I encountered is the Trackmix lost connection at one point, but that was corrected by unplugging the device. I decided to invest in the Home Hub Pro because I liked the idea of constant recording by my plug-in cameras. What followed was a lot of frustration and several hours lost of troubleshooting devices that had never caused an issue before the Home Hub Pro was implemented. It changed my fully positive view of Reolink and prompted me to write a review to warn people away from the device. There were so many issues that it is easier to list them as bullet points: - LAN Error: I installed the device on Tuesday afternoon and immediately had problems getting it to register in the same LAN. I used the same spare port and even the same ethernet cable that I had used when originally configuring the other cameras as standalone devices. None of those had issues registering as being in the same LAN when adding to the Reolink app or the Reolink client on PC. - Difficulty Adding Devices: The instructions walk you through adding devices already on the LAN. Since the Home Hub Pro kept acting as if it was not on the LAN, the devices did not show in the app correctly to connect to it. There is another step that allows you to add based on cameras already in the app itself, but it took multiple attempts to push the blue Connect button before they would add. It would repeatedly give an error about not being in the same LAN, but after multiple attempts it would eventually add it successfully. Every camera had this issue when being added. The Argus PT Ultra first worked this way, but then instantly lost connection. It never worked with the Home Hub Pro despite being compatible. - Offline Every 6-8 Hours: The primary issue that began the frustration is how the Home Hub Pro would randomly lose connection and display the red light roughly every 6-8 hours. I did not realize the Home Hub Pro acted as a single point of failure, so when this happens all cameras stopped responding. I estimate every 6-8 hours because by Wednesday morning it was offline and had to be unplugged to work again. It was then offline again by the time I got off work, lost connection again shortly before I went to bed, and was then offline again Thursday morning. Not having cameras during the most sensitive times of being asleep or away from home is unacceptable. That alone was enough to frustrate me and help me decide within two days I would be returning the device. I kept it connected until a 250-foot cable arrived to fix the problem (explained below). That took a couple of days, and within that timeframe the random disconnects continued. - Push Notification Errors: Two errors were occurring for this topic. All original settings of the cameras get reset after you add them to the Home Hub Pro. Annoying, but a quick fix. One of the problems was that I only had them configured to show people and animals, and those two would never trigger even when I stood in front of the cameras. However, it would notify me every time a vehicle was detected on our street, which means I was getting flooded with unnecessary irrelevant notifications and would miss any important ones like a person on the property. That is another major flaw. The second push notification error I noticed was that I would still receive them even when the Home Hub Pro was showing as offline. The way I even discovered that issue is because I received a notification, but when I selected it there was no way to view the feed due to the entire camera system being offline. - Cannot Transition Back to Previous Wi-Fi: The Home Hub Pro broadcasts a wi-fi signal, but it is weak compared to what I was using. There are instructions for switching from the Home Hub Pro wi-fi to your other connections. It does not work. The cameras see the connection, but changing to it results in an error stating the change cannot be made because the Home Hub Pro does not recognize the camera as being on the same LAN. That means when deleting the device from the Home Hub Pro in the app it does not prompt to switch the camera back to standalone use. That means you have to completely delete them from the app and add them manually back. That should have been a simple process since I had saved the bar codes of the cameras to my phone and had access to the UIDs, but then that led to the next issue. - Passwords Changed Without Authorization: Somehow the Home Hub Pro changed the passwords and/or username for every camera. I created a special password for these cameras, but not even one worked. That means they could not be added back to the app or client without resetting the devices. That is extremely inconvenient, because removing some of these cameras to reset and plug back in to the router for configuration was going to be very difficult. For example, the RLC-823S1W is bulky and heavy, so removing it from a corner of the house that required an extension ladder to install was going to be a challenge. That is why the 250-foot ethernet cable was mentioned earlier. I decided it was easier to buy a very long cable and run it to each camera long enough to configure it after resetting and connecting it back to my wi-fi network. This is also where I learned that resetting the devices does not reset everything about them. Apparently, resets do not erase your SD card, which is a good thing, but it also remembered the name of the Home Hub Pro broadcast and initially tried to connect to it first even though it was unplugged and back in the box at this point. I know things can go wrong with technology and perhaps I received a lemon, but the lost time trying to troubleshoot a brand new device and the frustration of having to reconfigure all of my cameras has changed my viewpoint of Reolink products. The Home Hub Pro became a single point of failure that caused issues with cameras that had worked flawlessly for two months. The most common recommendation I found online was to make sure the Home Hub Pro is running the latest version of the firmware. Unlike the cameras that saw updates upon initial configuration, the Home Hub Pro stated it was the latest version when a manual check of the website shows that is not the case. As of when I encountered the issues in April 2025 the latest firmware release was v3.3.0.369_24112931 from December 2024. I cannot recommend the Home Hub Pro to anyone as there are clearly issues they still need to correct. I opted to return it back to Amazon and simply leave the cameras working as standalone hardware that records only motion to the SD cards.

Bought this camera kit to keep an eye on a loved one going through dementia. Works like a charm. Easy to setup, cameras were easy to connect. Visual and audio clarity is spot on, no issues whatsoever. Cameras are set to notify me of activity, which is a nice reminder that the loved one is up and moving around. Really a good buy, looking to expand with more cameras. I don't really use the pan and tilt regularly, though I did use it in the beginning to setup the camera field of view, it's a bit touchy and not really alot of fine control, but was doable.

Testing a migration from a heavily invested Arlo build-out. yes, the Reolink App can run in Linux using Wine, not CrossOver Office (currently). Works great. 24/7 recording. Kind of quirky where you have to select each stream to use "High" to get better quality while watching live streaming, but works as expected. Lots of configurable options. The HDD in my unit failed after a week. A Toshiba drive. I'll probably get a WD Red or Purple as a permanent HDD, but for now i threw in a spare Seagate 2TB and its working fine. I cant fault Reolink for another vendors crap HDD. There are no Rich notifications on phone app unless you use a doorbell cam. I don't use the Hub WiFi. I use it to pair new cameras, then switch to my home WiFi mesh and turn off the Hub WiFi.

You buy these devices and expect them to work out of the box correctly. No. That's not today's world. You have to fight and fight with these things to get it to work. The Home Hub Pro needs to be connected to a hard wired connection to a LAN. Can't use the WiFi. No. We're in 2001 here. WiFi isn't fast enough for video apparently. After you juggle with that (meaning you have to purchase a WiFi Access Point with a LAN connection). Then comes working with the cameras. The Home Hub Pro is basically a WiFi Router (#smh). But don't connect your devices to the 5ghz network it provides. They don't work on that one. No one tells you that. You just have to "know". Then you get the device to connect but.... it's not REALLY connected. Takes about 12 hours (overnight) for the devices to finally connect and be usable. The rest of my outrage is as below. I stand by it and AMAZON post this or I'll post the whole thing to X and every other social media I can find saying YOU wouldn't --- NO WIFI?!?!? Are you SERIOUS? The device HAS to be connected via Ethernet LAN Cable. A 3 FOOT LONG ETHERNET CABLE? ARE YOU SERIOUS??????????????? And then from AI: Many of the Home Hub Pro units come pre-installed with a Toshiba DT02ABA200V (2 TB) as the “stock” drive. It works out of the box, but it’s not ideal for heavy 24/7 video surveillance. I haven't even turned this thing on and I'm ticked at it. This is over priced.

Reolink is by far one of the easiest cameras to install and configure (and I've been doing this for almost 30 years). Set-up was a breeze, no monthly fees whatsoever, and a huge variety of cameras to choose from. I'll definitely be using the Home Pro Hub and Reolink cameras much more in the future.

Reolink one of the very few not trying to sell you monthly subscription you see what you want to see no delay with advertisement. Most other companies give you 6 seconds of viewing after the advertisement, drive you nuts when you need to view an event quickly. They sell you the camera and then decide what you can watch, In the meantime they sell advertisement on your camera, they should give the camera away and run their commercials, none of this nonsense money grab using Reolink and the Reolink works as well if not better than competitors, there is just no matching Reolink, their pro hub for local storage works very well.

Excellent product and quality

No issues installing. Install hub first before setting up cameras. Did not try the WiFi feature as all my cameras are POE. If you want continuous recording, upgrade to a larger capacity drive. For motion activated recording the 2TB drive will do. The HDMI port is a nice touch and allows you to attach a large screen to the hub. Have recommended this to friends.

Using the Reolink Home Hub Pro as the central hub for my Reolink setup. Setup was straightforward overall, and newer cameras connected easily through the app. The interface is clean and feels more organized compared to running standalone devices. Build quality feels solid and more like a small network appliance than a basic consumer device. It runs quietly and has been stable once configured. Performance has been strong with supported cameras , centralized recording is smooth, playback is responsive, and having everything in one place is much more convenient than relying on individual SD cards. One thing to note: I was not able to connect some older models (like the E1 Pro) to the Hub. They continue to operate as standalone cameras with SD cards. If you’re mixing older and newer Reolink devices, compatibility is something to double-check before buying. Overall, it’s a solid upgrade if you’re running multiple newer Reolink cameras and want centralized storage and management. Just confirm compatibility with older models first.
