Reolink is the brand Canadians search for once they have decided against a monthly fee and are willing to run a cable. Its catalogue on Amazon.ca is wide and badly named: RLC numbers, Duo, TrackMix, E1, Argus, Go, two hubs and a doorbell in three power variants. This page is the map: which Reolink line fits which house, which box records it, and how Reolink reads against eufy and Lorex on what the listings say. It does not re-argue PoE against Wi-Fi, NVR against DVR or local storage against the cloud: that lives in our best security cameras in Canada guide.
The short answer
- Whole house, cables possible: the RLK8-800D4 kit, 8-channel NVR, 2 TB drive, four 4K turrets, expandable to eight, as listed. Add an RLC-811A for the long driveway or a Duo 3 PoE for the front.
- One or two outdoor spots, an outlet nearby: the TrackMix WiFi, dual lens, auto tracking, Wi-Fi 6, plug-in.
- Nowhere to drill, no outlet: Argus Solar or Argus PT Ultra on a microSD card, plus the Home Hub once you own three or more.
- Cottage with no Wi-Fi: the Go PT Plus, 4G LTE with the SIM in the box, solar, 32 GB card pre-installed, as listed.
- Indoors: E1 Pro for most rooms; E1 Zoom for a large room or a shop. Front door: the Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen), battery or 8 to 24 VAC, the only Reolink doorbell in stock that day.
How we picked, and what we did not do: we have not bench-tested any Reolink product. Every specification on this page is quoted from the manufacturer’s Amazon.ca listing, checked November 8, 2026, and every product linked was in stock in Canada that day. Where a listing leaves a number out, we say so. Links to Amazon are affiliate links; BranchéQC may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not write prices by hand: the button says “Check price” and the Amazon page is what counts.
Is Reolink sold in Canada?
Yes, and in depth. On November 8, 2026 Amazon.ca had in stock every line this page covers: RLC PoE bullets and domes from 5MP to 12MP, the Duo dual-lens cameras, 8- and 16-channel NVR kits, the TrackMix, the E1 indoor cameras, the Argus family, the Go 4G cameras, the battery doorbell and both hubs. Reolink also sells direct from its own site, which this page does not quote. Read ten of these listings and three phrases recur: “no subscription fees” on every camera and both hubs; local storage, a card up to 512 GB, a Reolink NVR, the Home Hub, or FTP and NAS; and a free Reolink app and PC client for iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. Whether that model suits you better than a cloud camera is the security camera guide’s question; from here on we assume you said yes.
Reolink PoE cameras: RLC-810A, RLC-811A, Duo 3 PoE
The RLC-810A is the reference Reolink: 4K 8MP at 30 frames per second, 100 ft infrared, person and vehicle detection, microSD up to 512 GB, and one Ethernet cable carrying power and video to a PoE switch, injector or Reolink NVR, none included, as the listing repeats twice. It also states, in capitals, that this is not a Wi-Fi camera. Buy it when a cable can reach the spot.
The RLC-811A adds a varifocal lens: 5X optical zoom without giving up the 8MP, 123° at the wide end, colour night vision with spotlights, a siren, two-way talk and time-lapse, as listed. One inconsistency: the title says microSD up to 512 GB, the feature text 256 GB. The 811A is for a long rural driveway or a lot line where a plate must be read at distance.
The Duo 3 PoE replaces two cameras with one: two 4K sensors stitched into a 180° panorama, 16MP in total, F1.6, eight infrared LEDs to 100 ft, IP67, and a Motion Track feature the listing describes as drawing a target’s complete path in one picture. Across the front of a bungalow it covers what a bullet on each corner would. Sister listings in stock the same day: the RLC-820A and RLC-520A domes, the 12MP RLC-1224A, the CX810, the vandal-proof Duo 3V.
One sentence on installation, because the rest belongs to the sibling guide: pulling Ethernet through exterior walls is low-voltage work a homeowner may do in most provinces, but a licensed electrician or low-voltage installer wherever the cable shares a wall with 120 V wiring; in Quebec a licensed contractor from your region can quote the run through BranchéQC, and the security camera guide has the province-by-province detail.
Reolink NVR kits: RLK8-800D4 and the RLN8-410 recorder
A Reolink NVR is a small computer with a hard drive and PoE ports on the back. The RLK8-800D4 kit bundles an 8-channel recorder, a 2 TB drive and four 4K turrets with infrared to 100 ft. The listing calls it plug and play: cable each camera to the recorder, up to 330 ft, and it records 24/7, overwrites the oldest footage when the drive fills, expands to 16 TB, backs up to USB or FTP, and shows on a monitor or in the app. It grows to eight cameras with any Reolink PoE camera; the listing names the 520A, 510A, 810A, 820A, 811A, TrackMix PoE and Duo 2 PoE. The 16-channel RLK16-800D8 was in stock the same day.
The recorder alone, the RLN8-410, carries the most useful fine print in the catalogue: it works only with Reolink cameras, PoE or Wi-Fi on DC power; battery-powered cameras are not supported; it runs with or without internet through its own DHCP; eight cameras; an extra 8 TB drive over eSATA, all as listed. That line about battery cameras is why Reolink sells a second box, below.
Reolink TrackMix and E1 Outdoor Pro: plug-in Wi-Fi outdoors
Between a cable and a battery sits an outdoor outlet. The TrackMix WiFi is Reolink’s dual-lens pan-tilt camera for that case: a 104° wide lens keeps the yard in view while a second lens gives 6X hybrid zoom to 50 ft, the head pans 355° and tilts 90°, auto tracking follows people and vehicles, spotlights give colour at night, Wi-Fi 6 on both bands, all as listed. The listing’s own use case is a driveway where the camera follows the delivery driver instead of watching one fixed frame. The wired twin, the TrackMix PoE, had no in-stock listing on November 8, 2026; the RLK8 kit names it as compatible, so check again for a wired build. The E1 Outdoor Pro is the single-lens alternative: 4K, 3X optical zoom, Wi-Fi 6, 355° pan and 50° tilt, plug-in power, as its listing states. Both feed a Reolink NVR, since they run on DC rather than a battery.
Reolink E1 Pro and E1 Zoom indoors
The E1 Pro is the indoor Reolink most Canadians buy: 5MP at 2880 × 1616, an F1.6 lens, 360° pan-tilt with auto tracking, and detection of people, pets and a crying baby, with no monthly fee, as listed. Its storage list is the longest on the page: a microSD card up to 512 GB, which the listing says holds eight days of continuous recording at the default bitrate, a Reolink NVR, the Home Hub or Home Hub Pro, and FTP or a NAS over RTSP and ONVIF. The title names Alexa and Google, and setup runs over Bluetooth.
The E1 Zoom is the same shape at 4K with 3X optical zoom, Wi-Fi 6, 64 preset positions and up to 12 days on a 512 GB card, as listed: the one for an open-plan main floor, a workshop or a small shop where a face must be read across the room. Both E1 listings sell themselves as baby and pet monitors as much as security cameras, and neither mentions a physical privacy shutter.
Reolink Argus: battery and solar
Argus is the no-cable family, and on Amazon.ca in November 2026 it reads differently from the names people search. The Argus Solar is the fixed 3K 5MP camera: a SolarEase panel the listing says keeps charging under eaves or trees, one hour of sun claimed for up to 24 hours of use, PIR plus AI detection, IP67, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, and recording to a card up to 512 GB or the Home Hub with no subscription. The Argus PT Ultra is the one that turns: 4K 8MP, a motion spotlight, 355° pan and 140° tilt with auto tracking, a siren, and a detachable 3 W panel the listing says needs 20 minutes of sun a day. Multi-packs of both, and the magnetic 1080p Argus MagiCam, were in stock the same day.
What we did not find: an in-stock listing titled Argus 3 Pro, Argus 4 Pro or Altas PT Ultra. Those searches returned the two cameras above and a 16MP dual-lens camera Reolink now labels Elite Pro. The Argus PT Ultra is the closest in-stock relative; this page will not quote a listing it could not read.
Reolink Go PT Plus: 4G LTE for the cottage
The Go line is for places with no Wi-Fi at all. The Go PT Plus listing is written for off-grid homes, construction sites and farms: 4G LTE with a pre-configured SIM in the box, activated in the Reolink app, solar and battery power, 5MP colour night vision, 355° pan and 140° tilt with auto tracking, a pre-installed 32 GB card, an optional 7-day cloud, and an IP64 housing the listing says stands up to rain, snow and sun. The smaller Go PT S Lite, also in stock, has a non-removable SIM with 100 MB of trial data and plans bought in the app, 4MP, and a claim of up to three months on a full charge, per its listing. Neither hub records a 4G camera: the Home Hub Pro listing excludes 4G devices in so many words. The running cost nobody lists is the cellular plan.
Reolink Video Doorbell: battery, PoE and Wi-Fi
Reolink makes three doorbells. On November 8, 2026 only one had an in-stock listing on Amazon.ca, the Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen): 2K 4MP at 2048 × 2048 in a 1:1 head-to-toe frame, HDR, detection of people, vehicles, animals and packages with no subscription, dual-band Wi-Fi, a voice changer. Its power line is the useful one: battery, up to 10 months per charge claimed, or wired on 8 to 24 VAC, which the listing says unlocks 24/7 recording with pre-recording. Storage is a card up to 512 GB, the Home Hub, an NVR or FTP, with Reolink Cloud optional; the free plan caps rich notifications at 25 a day, as listed. The chime is not included, and the listing is emphatic: Chime Plus, not the older Reolink Chime, and no third-party mechanical chime.
The Chime Plus listing confirms the other two exist, a Video Doorbell PoE and a Video Doorbell WiFi V2 or higher; neither had an in-stock listing that day, so this page quotes neither. Whether your door wants a wired or a battery doorbell at all, and what your transformer can drive, is the doorbell camera guide’s subject.
Reolink Home Hub or Reolink NVR: which box
The question the search results never answer. The Home Hub listing describes a central point for storage, alarms and management of up to 8 Reolink battery Wi-Fi cameras and doorbells, two microSD slots up to 1 TB each, recordings kept when the Wi-Fi goes down, event summaries, a siren, AES-128, Wi-Fi 6, no monthly fee. Its title says no third-party support, and the feature text tells you to contact Reolink if an older camera will not join. The NVR, quoted above, takes PoE and plug-in cameras and refuses battery ones. So: an Argus and doorbell household buys the Home Hub; a cabled household buys the NVR; a single camera buys a card and neither.
The Home Hub Pro listing bridges the two: wired, wireless, PoE and doorbell cameras up to 12 devices, excluding 4G, a drive bay up to 16 TB plus a 512 GB card slot, a 120 dB siren, and a note that battery cameras record on alerts only, as listed. Two PoE cameras on the garage and two Argus on the shed is its case. In stock that day; quoted without a card to hold this page at twelve products.
The Reolink app, the PC client and the smart home platforms
One app for every line, and the listings agree: free, for iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, live view, playback filtered by person or vehicle, motion zones and, on the NVR, local viewing with no internet at all. The PC client matters more here than with most brands, because a Reolink system usually has a hard drive to manage. Platforms, by listing, because they differ: the E1 Pro title says Alexa and Google; the RLC-810A mentions streaming to a TV with voice commands; the battery doorbell lists Google Assistant, IFTTT and Home Assistant through the Home Hub; the E1 Pro and E1 Zoom list RTSP and ONVIF for a NAS, the usual door into Home Assistant; the Home Hub title says no third-party support. No Reolink listing we checked names Apple Home, HomeKit or Matter. Tying cameras into a house run from Google Home or Alexa is the smart home automation guide’s subject.
Reolink in a Canadian winter: what the listings say
Here is the honest part. Not one Reolink listing we checked states an operating temperature range. The Duo 3 PoE and the Argus Solar list IP67 and “all weather conditions” or “harsh weather”; the RLK8 kit lists an IP66 aluminum shell; the Go PT Plus lists IP64 and names snow; the TrackMix and Argus PT Ultra say nothing about cold at all. For contrast, Lorex’s V3 4K PoE dome listing states −40 °C to 60 °C. Reolink may publish ranges on its own site; Amazon.ca does not carry them.
What that means in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Saguenay or Halifax. A PoE or plug-in camera has no battery and draws its power from the warm side of the wall, the most cold-tolerant design there is; mount it under the soffit so snow does not sit on the lens. A battery Argus is the one to watch: lithium cells deliver less below −20 °C, the solar claims assume sun on a clean panel, and no listing promises a minimum temperature. Expect fewer days per charge from December to March. The general rules on batteries in cold are in the security camera guide; what a power cut does to all of this, our Hydro-Québec outage map shows.
Reolink vs eufy vs Lorex, on listed specs only
We have not measured any of these. Here is what each maker says about its own hub or camera on Amazon.ca, side by side.
| Claim on the listing | Reolink | eufy | Lorex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wired PoE line | RLC-810A, 811A, Duo 3 PoE, NVR kits | Not in the hub listing | 4K add-on PoE cameras to a Lorex NVR |
| Hub for battery cameras | Home Hub: up to 8 devices, 2 × 1 TB microSD | HomeBase S380: 16 cameras or doorbells + 34 sensors, 16 GB built in, up to 16 TB drive | n/a on the listings checked |
| Recorder for wired cameras | RLN8-410: 8 cameras, 2 TB, PoE only, no battery cams | n/a | Lorex NVR required, sold separately |
| Subscription for local recording | No, every listing | No monthly fee, as listed | No subscription, as listed |
| Operating temperature stated | No, none of 12 listings | No, on the S380 listing | −40 °C to 60 °C on the V3 4K PoE dome |
| Encryption named | AES-128 on both hubs | AES-256-GCM and ECC-256 on the S380 | Not stated |
| App | One Reolink app and PC client | eufy Security app | Two apps, Classic or Connect, not interchangeable |
| Hub Wi-Fi | 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 | 2.4 GHz | n/a |
Reolink vs eufy is wired against wireless. eufy’s HomeBase S380 listing is the bigger wireless hub on paper: 16 cameras or doorbells plus 34 sensors against Reolink’s 8, a drive bay against two card slots, facial recognition and a 100 dB siren, as listed. Reolink’s answer is the PoE catalogue eufy does not list, an NVR with a drive, and a Home Hub on Wi-Fi 6 where the S380 lists 2.4 GHz. A house you can cable, Reolink. A house you cannot, read our eufy in Canada page first.
Reolink vs Lorex is closer: two PoE-first brands with no subscription, one of them rooted in Markham, Ontario. The Lorex listings carry two cautions Reolink’s do not: each add-on camera requires a Lorex NVR, and each is tied to one of two Lorex apps, Classic or Connect, which the listings say are not compatible. In Lorex’s favour, the stated −40 °C on its V3 dome is the only cold number on this page. A Reolink RLC-810A, by its listing, records to a card, an NVR or FTP and needs no Reolink recorder to work.

Every figure is the manufacturer’s own. Where a listing gives no number, the table says so.

BranchéQC’s verdict on Reolink
Reolink is the brand to buy when the footage stays in your house and you are prepared to run a cable or add an outlet: the RLC cameras and the RLK8 kit are the clearest no-subscription wired offer on Amazon.ca, the E1 Pro is a sensible indoor camera, and the Go PT Plus solves the cottage with no Wi-Fi. The costs are a catalogue that needs this page to decode, two hubs that do not overlap, a doorbell line of which only the battery model was in stock, and listings silent on operating temperature in a country where that is the first question. If you cannot drill, eufy’s hub lists more; if you want a cold rating in writing, Lorex gives one. Everyone with a cable path and a hard-drive habit, Reolink.
Frequently asked questions
Is Reolink sold in Canada?
Yes. Every product on this page was in stock on Amazon.ca on November 8, 2026, from the RLC PoE cameras and the RLK8 NVR kit to the Argus solar cameras, the Go PT Plus and the Home Hub. Reolink also sells direct from its own store; this page quotes only Amazon.ca.
Does Reolink need a subscription?
Not for recording. Every Reolink listing we checked says no subscription or no monthly fee for local storage: a microSD card, a Reolink NVR, the Home Hub, or FTP and NAS. The Go PT Plus and the doorbell mention an optional cloud on top, and the doorbell's free plan caps rich notifications at 25 a day, as listed.
Do I need the Reolink NVR or the Home Hub?
By camera type. The RLN8-410 NVR listing works only with Reolink PoE cameras and Wi-Fi cameras on DC power; battery cameras are not supported. The Home Hub takes up to 8 battery Wi-Fi cameras and doorbells. The Home Hub Pro claims both, up to 12, excluding 4G. A single camera needs neither: a microSD card is enough.
Reolink vs eufy: which is better?
Different houses. Reolink is PoE first: cameras on a cable to an NVR, plus Argus battery cameras on a Home Hub. eufy's HomeBase S380 listing is a wireless hub for 16 cameras or doorbells and 34 sensors, up to 16 TB on a drive, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, no monthly fee. Cable-friendly house, Reolink; no-drill house, read our eufy page too.
Reolink vs Lorex?
Lorex is rooted in Markham, Ontario and also sells PoE cameras and NVRs without a subscription. Two listed differences: a Lorex add-on camera requires a Lorex NVR and one of two Lorex apps, Classic or Connect, not interchangeable; and Lorex's V3 4K PoE dome states −40 °C to 60 °C, where no Reolink listing states a range.
Can a Reolink Argus take a Canadian winter?
The listings do not say. The Argus Solar lists IP67 and harsh weather; the Argus PT Ultra lists a 3 W panel and 20 minutes of sun a day; neither states a minimum temperature. Treat a battery Argus at −30 °C in Winnipeg or Saguenay as untested by the maker, and expect fewer days per charge.
Reolink doorbell: PoE or Wi-Fi?
On November 8, 2026 the only Reolink doorbell in stock on Amazon.ca was the Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen): battery or 8 to 24 VAC wired, Wi-Fi, no PoE. The Chime Plus listing confirms a Video Doorbell PoE and a WiFi V2 exist, but neither was in stock. Cat5e at the door, wait for the PoE listing; bell wire or nothing, buy the battery model.
Does Reolink work with Google Home, Alexa or Home Assistant?
By model, as listed. The E1 Pro title says Alexa and Google; the battery doorbell lists Google Assistant, IFTTT and Home Assistant through the Home Hub; the E1 Pro and E1 Zoom list RTSP and ONVIF, the usual route into Home Assistant. No Reolink listing we checked names Apple Home or HomeKit.
Which Reolink camera for a cottage without Wi-Fi?
The Go line. The Go PT Plus listing includes a pre-configured SIM you activate in the Reolink app, runs on battery and solar, pans 355°, and is written for off-grid homes, farms and construction sites, with a 32 GB card pre-installed. Check cellular coverage at the lake first.
