The current revision sold under the \"4K\" listing records at 3840 x 2160 (8 megapixels) and connects over dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). It records to a microSD card in the camera, to a Reolink NVR or Home Hub, or to an FTP\/NAS target, with no subscription required for any of those paths.

Reolink's older E1 Zoom spec sheet describes a 5 MP (2560 x 1920) camera with 802.11a\/b\/g\/n WiFi and a 128 GB microSD limit, and Reolink's current page describes the 4K model as \"170% more pixels than before.\" Both revisions share the same 3x optical zoom lens, 355-degree pan, and 50-degree tilt. If a listing or box says 5 MP, you are looking at the earlier version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLocal storage vs cloud recording\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E1 Zoom records locally by default and does not need a subscription. A microSD card up to 512 GB sits inside the camera and holds motion clips, scheduled recordings, or continuous 24\/7 footage. For longer retention, the camera can feed a Reolink NVR or Home Hub, or push clips to an FTP server or NAS on your own network. Reolink Cloud is a separate, optional service and is not required for live view, alerts, or playback from the card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the E1 Zoom supports RTSP and ONVIF, it can also stream into self-hosted NVR software that accepts those standards. RTSP is a standard that lets a recorder pull the camera's video stream over the local network; ONVIF is a standard that lets third-party software discover the camera and control its pan and tilt. That keeps your footage on hardware you control. If you set up a camera network, pairing the recorder with a router that supports a separate guest or IoT network is a good step; see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wireless-routers\"\u003ewireless routers\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/modemguides-blog\/how-to-change-dns-on-router\"\u003eguide to changing DNS on your router\u003c\/a\u003e for isolating smart devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"mg-cross\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mg-cross-kicker\"\u003eDo you need optical zoom?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mg-cross-text\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/reolink-e1-pro\"\u003eReolink E1 Pro\u003c\/a\u003e uses the same pan-tilt body with a fixed 4 mm lens and 5 MP (2880 x 1616) resolution.

The earlier E1 Zoom revision was 5 MP (2560 x 1920) with single-stream 802.11n WiFi and a 128 GB card limit. Check the resolution on the listing or box to tell them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the E1 Zoom work with WiFi 6 routers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The current revision supports 802.11ax on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and connects to any WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router. It also connects to older 802.11ac and 802.11n routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the E1 Zoom with a third-party NVR or Home Assistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Reolink lists RTSP and ONVIF support for this model, so NVR software that accepts RTSP streams can record it, and ONVIF-aware software can control pan, tilt, and zoom. Keep the camera on a known, fixed firmware if you rely on third-party integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the E1 Zoom work outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Reolink lists it as an indoor camera with an operating range of -10 to 55 C and no weather rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size microSD card does the E1 Zoom take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReolink's specification table lists support up to 512 GB.
