The camera can be mounted on a wall or attached to a tree using the provided strap and security mount. The PIR detection range can be customized through the Reolink App.

Product Usage Instructions

Charge the Battery

Before mounting the camera outdoors, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. You can charge the battery using a power adapter (not included) or a Reolink Solar Panel (not included if you only purchase the camera). The charging indicator LED will turn orange when the battery is being charged and green when it is fully charged. Always cover the USB charging port with the rubber plug after charging for better weatherproof performance.
