What video resolution and frame rate does the Reolink RP-PCB8M deliver?
A: The Reolink RP-PCB8M delivers 4K Ultra HD video at 3840x2160 resolution (8 Megapixels) at up to 25 frames per second (fps). The mainstream frame rate can be configured between 2 fps and 25 fps (Default is 25 fps), while the substream runs between 4 fps and 15 fps (Default is 10 fps).
What type of lens and field of view (FOV) does the camera feature?
A: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.7-inch CMOS image sensor and a fixed f=2.8mm / F1.6 wide-angle lens. It delivers a wide 125-degree diagonal field of view, covering 105 degrees horizontally and 56 degrees vertically to monitor expansive indoor or outdoor areas.
Which video compression codecs and bitrates are supported?
A: The camera supports dual codecs: H.265 (HEVC) and standard H.264. The mainstream bitrate is adjustable from 2048 Kbps to 9216 Kbps (Default is 7168 Kbps), while the substream bitrate ranges from 64 Kbps to 512 Kbps (Default is 256 Kbps).
Does the RP-PCB8M support optical zoom or motorized pan and tilt (PTZ)?
A: No. The RP-PCB8M is a fixed-focal bullet camera with an f=2.8mm fixed lens (Optical zoom is NA). It does not have motorized pan, tilt, or zoom. Viewing angles are adjusted manually during installation via the 3-axis mounting bracket, though digital zoom can be performed through the Reolink software.
What is the benefit of the F1.6 aperture on this model?
A: The large F1.6 aperture allows significantly more ambient light to reach the 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor compared to standard F2.0 lenses. This enhances low-light imaging sensitivity, resulting in cleaner daytime images in shadows and brighter, more detailed color night vision when illuminated.
Night Vision, Spotlights & Active Deterrence
How far does the infrared (IR) night vision reach on the RP-PCB8M?
A: The camera provides clear black-and-white infrared night vision at distances up to 30 meters (100 feet). It uses 2 high-efficiency 850nm IR LEDs paired with an automatic IR-cut filter that switches between day and night modes based on ambient light levels.
What are the specifications of the built-in spotlight?
A: The camera features 1 built-in high-power spotlight producing 700 lumens of light at a 6500K daylight color temperature. When activated in low-light environments, it illuminates the monitoring area to enable full-color night vision.
What lighting modes are available for the spotlight?
A: You can configure the spotlight into three distinct operating modes via the Reolink App or Client:
Always On: The spotlight turns on automatically when darkness falls and remains illuminated all night.
Alarm-Triggered: The spotlight stays off in standby (Using IR night vision) and flashes or turns on only when motion, people, vehicles, or animals are detected.
Manually Off: The spotlight remains completely disabled, allowing the camera to operate exclusively in covert IR black-and-white mode.
Does the RP-PCB8M support two-way audio communication?
A: Yes. The camera is equipped with a built-in microphone and an integrated high-output speaker. This enables real-time two-way audio conversation with visitors or delivery drivers directly through the Reolink App or Client software.
Can the camera sound an audible siren automatically during an intrusion?
A: Yes. In addition to triggering the 700-lumen spotlight, the built-in speaker can be configured to broadcast a loud siren alarm or custom voice prompt automatically when a person, vehicle, or animal triggers detection rules, creating an active deterrence barrier.
AI Smart Detection & Perimeter Protection
What smart target detection capabilities are built into the camera?
A: The RP-PCB8M features on-device edge AI algorithms capable of recognizing and distinguishing between:
Person Detection
Vehicle Detection
Animal / Pet Detection
General Motion Detection
What advanced Perimeter Protection features are supported?
A: The RP-PCB8M incorporates commercial-grade perimeter security analytics, including:
Line Crossing Alert: Detects when a target crosses a virtual line drawn across a driveway, fence, or doorway.
Zone Intrusion Alert: Flags when a target enters a designated restricted perimeter zone.
Zone Loitering Alert: Detects when a target remains or lingers within a defined zone past a pre-set duration threshold.
What abnormal event detection features are available on this model?
A: The camera includes smart event detection algorithms capable of identifying:
Forgotten Object Detection: Alerts when an unattended package or object is left behind in a monitored zone.
Object Removal Detection: Flags an alert when an established object (Such as equipment or a vehicle) is moved or removed from the designated area.
Can detection sensitivity, target sizes, and alarm delays be customized?
A: Yes. For person, vehicle, and animal detection, you can fine-tune maximum and minimum object size filters (To ignore tiny pets or distant background traffic), adjust numerical sensitivity levels (1 to 100), and configure alarm delay times to prevent momentary false triggers.
What recording modes and schedules can be configured?
A: The camera supports three flexible recording schedules:
Motion-Triggered / Smart AI Event Recording (Default): Records video only when motion or AI events are flagged.
24/7 Continuous Recording: Uninterrupted round-the-clock recording (Best paired with an NVR or large MicroSD card).
Scheduled / Timer Recording: Records only during specific time windows designated by the user.
Power, Connectivity & Network Protocols
How is the Reolink RP-PCB8M powered?
A: The camera supports two power methods:
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Conforms to IEEE 802.3af standard (48V active PoE via Ethernet cable).
DC Power Adapter: Powered via an external DC 12.0V 1A power supply (Power consumption is under 12W).
What physical network interface does the camera feature?
A: The camera features one 10M/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port on its tail cable. It is supplied with an outdoor waterproof connector lid to seal the cable joint from rain, snow, and moisture penetration.
Which network protocols and standards are supported?
A: The camera supports a comprehensive suite of networking protocols: HTTPS, SSL, TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, IPv4, UPnP, RTSP, RTMP, SMTP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, FTP, P2P, and standard ONVIF.
How many user accounts and simultaneous video streams does the camera support?
A: The RP-PCB8M supports up to 20 user accounts (1 administrator account and 19 general user accounts) and up to 12 simultaneous live video streams (2 mainstreams and 10 substreams).
Can the RP-PCB8M integrate with third-party software and smart platforms?
A: Yes. Thanks to native ONVIF and RTSP streaming support, the camera integrates smoothly with third-party VMS platforms and software such as Home Assistant, Blue Iris, Synology Surveillance Station, and QNAP. It also natively supports Google Assistant for casting live video feeds to compatible smart displays.
Storage Options, App Setup & Management
What storage options are available for recorded video footage?
