I Added a Solar Camera to My Homelab Security Setup

Can the new Reolink Solar Floodlight Camera actually replace a traditional homelab security setup? I tested it to find out

In this video I take a look at the new Reolink
All-in-One Solar Floodlight Security Camera and see if it’s actually good enough to be part of a real homelab security setup.

I test the install process, solar charging, floodlight brightness, motion detection, image quality, mobile app experience, and whether this camera can realistically replace a wired security camera system.

Most solar cameras make big promises… but this one genuinely surprised me.
