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.

Prefer the UniFi G5 Flex if you already run UniFi Protect. Prefer the Reolink E1 Pro if you want a plug-in camera tonight. They are not substitutes.

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.

Best Pan and Tilt Indoor Cameras

The eufy S350 is the pan-and-tilt camera we prefer when the second lens matters. The Tapo C225 is the one we prefer when the budget does. The Reolink E1 Zoom is the one with real optical zoom.
