1. Supported Camera Types & Key Features

NVR models differ in the types of cameras they support, as well as key features. The sections below explain which camera types and functions are supported by each NVR.
  • Wired-Powered Cameras (Non-battery-powered cameras)
    Most Reolink NVRs support all wired-powered cameras (including PoE, plug-in Wi-Fi, and plug-in 4G models) except those with very high resolutions.
  • Battery-Powered Wi-Fi Cameras
    Some NVR versions support battery-powered cameras after upgrading to firmware version 3.5 or later (camera firmware updates may also be required).
  • Key Features and Technical Specifications
    •  Smart Person/Vehicle Detection: Advanced detection features enhance system efficiency on select models.
    •  Maximum Single HDD Capacity: Varies among models, ranging from 4TB to 16TB.
    •  Interface Information: The NVR models feature either New UI or Old UI interfaces.

The tables below show NVR models, hardware versions, supported Reolink cameras, and key features. You only need to check the NVR hardware version and know the resolution and type of your Reolink camera to determine whether it supports the corresponding features. Select your NVR model below to view the relevant information accurately.

3. Important Notes

  • System Information Accessible Only on NVR Monitor: Once the camera is connected to the NVR, camera's system information can only be viewed on the NVR's monitor with HDMI/VGA cable connected, cannot be accessed via the Reolink App/Client. For detailed instructions, refer to How to Find out Reolink Device System Information.
  • Hardware Version Compatibility: Even NVR models with the same name may have different hardware versions, and firmware is not interchangeable between these versions. Always ensure you select the correct hardware version when upgrading. For detailed instructions, refer to Reolink Firmware Update Guide.
  • Accessing Battery-Powered Wi-Fi Cameras: After adding a battery-powered Wi-Fi camera to the NVR, standalone access via App/Client is no longer possible.
  • OMVI Series Cameras Support: Some NVRs are not compatible with OMVI series cameras. For detailed compatibility information, refer to Section 4 in FAQs - Reolink OMVI 3i PoE.
  • Duo Series Cameras Support: Some older NVR models (with Reolink old versions) have not been fully adapted to support the Duo series, limited to 6MP for preview, playback, and recording. For detailed compatibility information, refer to Which NVR Can Work with Reolink Duo Series Cameras.
  • 12MP Cameras Support: Some NVRs and certain 12MP camera models are not fully compatible. The resolution must be lowered when viewing the camera in single-view preview. For more details, refer to Which NVR Can Work with Reolink 12MP Cameras.
  • Elite Series Cameras Support: Some NVRs are not compatible with Elite series cameras. For detailed compatibility information, refer to Which NVR Can Work with Reolink Elite Series Cameras.

Reolink NVRs offer a wide range of hardware versions and features to meet diverse user needs. Whether you require stable PoE/Wi-Fi camera support or the flexibility of battery-powered cameras, Reolink has a solution for you. We recommend verifying hardware versions and firmware updates to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
