Yeah I've seen a few of his videos. I wish there were more reviews of these and other surveillance cameras, but I can't seem to find a whole lot. There's this guy, the crosstalk solutions guy, "the hook up" has done a couple tests, and the lawrence solutions guy focuses mostly on the hardware and software, not so much the image quality and real-world testing.

Maybe I'm overthinking this too much, but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible about expectations, quality, user experience, etc. if I'm going to recommend systems to people. Supposedly my Cloud Key Plus unit will arrive today so I can start testing the UI and such, which I think is the real selling point for Protect.

Are you using the same coding for both cameras during these tests? (h264,265, +)

Also, the key frame rates on the reolinks I have (RLC-520) are really low, like .25 for the substream and .5 for the main stream, so motion detection could be slow and imprecise. Did you compare motion sensing of the reolink vs unifi cameras?

I watch videos from those guys too.

Let me know what you think about the CK2+ as a NVR. I might wind up going that route as well. My problem with it (other than no RAID) is that it only accepts 2.5" drives which limits your upgrade choices. Surveillance/NAS drives only come in 3.5" and large capacity 2.5" drives have a higher premium and usually only sold by 3rd parties on Amazon or Newegg for some reason.
