Not only is the Reolink app extremely user friendly compared to other manufacturer apps, but it\u2019s got a ton of options for dewarping both live view and recorded footage including the dual panoramic view and hemispheric view that Blue Iris offers as well as a quad view that lets you individually focus on 4 separate points of interest within the 360-degree video. As for recording and playback, Reolink\u2019s built in person detection works very well and is a huge step up from the contrast-based motion detection you find on most cameras, and the Reolink app makes it extremely easy to find person detection clips stored on the SD card.  Reolink also makes a Wi-Fi version of the 360-degree fisheye camera called the FE-W that may be even more ideal for this kind of camera since it\u2019s important to install them as close to the center of the room as possible and being wireless gives a little more flexibility in placement.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KPFPuXm2u7I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/KPFPuXm2u7I<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-10451 products type-products status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry rec_category-360-degree-fisheye-cameras\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\">Amcrest IP12M-F23-80-EW (Dahua)<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\" class=\"is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block has-medium-font-size\"><div class=\"value\">Best Outdoor ONVIF<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group indent-me acf-content is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">MSRP:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$759.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Common Price:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$759.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Link: <\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44BbUoa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/44BbUoa<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-4daaf377\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"is-acf-field is-textarea-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"value\">The Amcrest IP12M-F23-80-EW, an outdoor rated 360-degree camera with a 1.85mm focal length and a super high resolution 12-megapixel 1\/1.7\u201d image sensor.  In my testing the Amcrest had 180 degrees of vertical and horizontal field of view and output a very clear true fisheye image. The Amcrest was extremely simple to set up with DHCP and ONVIF enabled by default, as well as Dahua\u2019s new more user-friendly web interface.
