Reolink E1 Zoom Review

The Reolink E1 Zoom is the indoor pan camera we prefer when 3x optical zoom matters, or when you may add an NVR. Most homes should buy a Tapo C225 instead.

Reolink E1 Zoom vs Tapo C225

Prefer the Reolink E1 Zoom when you want 3x optical zoom and a path to an NVR. Prefer the Tapo C225 when you want starlight night vision, a shutter, and an easier app.
