An Amazing upgrade from the DUO 2
I am absolutely thrilled with my experience with the REOLINK Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE camera! This device has truly surpassed my expectations in every aspect, and I can confidently say that it’s a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the REOLINK Duo 2 PoE.First and foremost, the image quality produced by the Duo 3 is simply stunning. With its 16MP UHD dual-lens system, every detail is captured with exceptional clarity and precision. Whether it’s daytime or nighttime, the images remain crisp and clear, ensuring that I never miss a single detail.One of the most impressive features of the Duo 3 is its dual-lens setup, which provides a wider field of view compared to the Duo 2. This means that I can cover more ground with a single camera, reducing the need for multiple devices to monitor my property effectively. Additionally, the PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality ensures a reliable and stable connection, eliminating any worries about Wi-Fi signal strength or reliability.Installation and setup were a breeze, thanks to the intuitive design and user-friendly interface of the accompanying app. Within minutes, I had the camera up and running, and I was impressed by the level of customization and control it offered. From adjusting camera angles to setting up motion detection zones, the Duo 3 provides ample options to tailor the device to my specific needs.Another standout feature of the Duo 3 is its advanced motion detection capabilities. The improved algorithms ensure that I only receive alerts for relevant events, minimizing false alarms and providing me with peace of mind knowing that I’ll be notified of any suspicious activity promptly.In terms of durability and weather resistance, the Duo 3 excels yet again. Constructed with high-quality materials, this camera is built to withstand the elements, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest conditions.Overall, the REOLINK Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens PoE camera is a remarkable piece of technology that delivers exceptional performance and reliability. With its superior image quality, wider field of view, advanced features, and rugged construction, it’s undoubtedly a worthy upgrade from the already impressive Duo 2. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in need of a top-of-the-line surveillance solution.

After using for several weeks, I recommend it as a great wide FOV PoE camera for the price!
The PRO’s upfront are it’s cheap, and you get a nice wide FOV with a stitched image from 2 camera sensors. Low-light sensitivity is pretty good, not amazing, but pretty good. It’s great for putting on a corner or covering an area like a backyard setting. The camera mount works well and was easy to flip it around to get the angle needed for best picture. The siren is plenty loud enough, and also the light triggered by motion is suitable to get a great color picture during nighttime, and the IR emitters also do not create blooming of near objects to the camera, it does a GREAT job of picking up depth of field at night. The Reolink support staff are also far more responsive than several of the other vendors I have seen by far. I will also caveat this review that my impressions are based on my experience with using this camera with the BlueIris NVR software running on a PC that is setup for surveillance and with extra GPU cards for video processing.The CON’s:1) In BlueIris you can get 1-way audio, but you can’t get 2-way audio. You have to use the ReoLink app and be liveview connected for it to work. I would give this product a 5-star review if 2-way audio was working in blueiris!2) The image quality is either a bit blurry when you zoom in, or full of edge fringe highlight artifacts if you set the sharpness factor higher, so it is somewhat of a faux high resolution setting. I will adjust the sharpness setting and post pics for the extreme sharp setting. First 4 pics are the best image quality settings I was able to achieve, last pic is example of what higher sharpness setting does. Keep in mind folks, this isn’t a $4000 camera, for the price paid this is really just a nit, and given the full resolution it beats the Amcrest cameras I replaced it with.3) Many of the features they list aren’t present in the H265 video stream received by BlueIris. The motion detection, highlighting of objects, etc. all appear to be functions done inside the ReoLink app itself and not the camera. BlueIris does it’s own motion detection, but it would have been nice to rely on distributed processing and just triggered via ONVIF event instead vs putting more load on the BlueIris NVR.4) The camera gets quite hot, it even has a wavy line pattern on the area where it radiates the heat. Hopefully this camera will hold up during the high heat in summer. It’s the hottest of any PoE camera I have used to date.5) Also the alarm/siren function appears to not be triggerable via blueiris, and would be great if there was a way to trigger via a http POST sent to camera. Inside the Reolink app camera settings, the siren is activated by motion or off, but this isn’t sufficient in my use case. I need to be able to set time of day when siren will be active and also sensitivity for object size based on time of day. This is really more of an area where work could be done to make BlueIris integration better and not so much a camera flaw.6) BlueIris appears to have problems with the large resolution of the stitched image. I have seen other BI users comment on this as well, and the BI android app CRASHES as soon as you select the H265 stream based cameras, but they work fine in UI3. I am going to call that a BI issue, but you should be aware if you rely on the android BI app that it has issues with these camera streams.

This is an excellent camera. Picture, sound qualities are excellent, however, the vertical field of view is too narrow, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of five. Previous revision of this camera has a vertical field of view of 60 degree, but it is only 55 in this new version. I also have that constant glare in the lense at night.

I have the duo 2 and the image is way sharper than the duo 3, unless I got a bad unit. Sadly I will be returning it just beware. Like I said I might have gotten a bad unit.
