Choose around the installation

Reolink RLC-520A fits

An outdoor wired network with a suitable PoE switch or injector.

Reolink RLC-520A does not fit

A Wi-Fi-only installation or a purchase based only on the model name.

ANNKE C800 fits

A fixed outdoor view on a wired PoE run.

ANNKE C800 does not fit

A Wi-Fi installation or a purchase that assumes every C800 pack is the same variant.

Plan the cable and PoE source together. The inspected US page calls for active 802.3af power. A network cable alone does not supply it. Confirm the switch or injector specification and the cable route before buying.

ANNKE sells C800 in single and multi-camera packs and in bullet, turret and zoom forms. Match the exact form, lens and pack before ordering. A family name does not settle the supplied hardware.

Check the exact hardware before buying

Reolink documentation differs between revisions and regional pages. Record the hardware identifier, firmware and selected stream codec. The inspected US H.264 listing cannot settle the codec for every RLC-520A offered by a seller.

One exact US Amazon Bullet variant was qualified on 2026-10-28; turret and other C800 packs are not covered by that link. Manufacturer RTSP wording does not establish CameraViewer playback, audio or recording access.
