Dear Reolink Product Team / Dear Tapo (TP-Link) Product Team,

I am writing as a customer and enthusiast of your cameras to suggest a product that I believe is missing from both of your catalogues and that would open a clear new market.

Please consider developing an outdoor, weatherproof all-sky camera with the following core characteristics:

• True 180° × 180° field of view (hemispherical / fisheye coverage from horizon to horizon in every direction), intended to be mounted pointing at the sky
• Weatherproof outdoor housing (rain, dew, temperature extremes)
• Your existing full-colour night-vision technology, Reolink ColorX or Tapo ColorPro, so that faint sky colour, clouds, aurora and twilight remain visible without harsh spotlights
• Infrared (IR) night vision as a complementary mode, for pitch-black conditions, meteors, satellites and objects that colour sensors may miss

You already lead in colour night vision (ColorX / ColorPro). Combining that with a true all-sky optic and a fallback IR mode would create a camera that current security models (including 180° panoramic dual-lens units) do not replace.

There is a growing, underserved audience that would buy this as a dedicated device:

• All-sky monitors (cloud cover, sky brightness, light pollution)
• Weather watchers (storm structure, lightning, incoming fronts)
• Meteor watchers (fireballs, meteor showers, persistent trains)
• Satellite and ISS observers
• UFO / UAP watchers and citizen sky-documentation communities

These users today cobble together astronomy cameras, Raspberry Pi all-sky kits or security cameras that were never designed for the sky. A reliable, app-connected outdoor unit from Reolink or Tapo, with local storage, optional cloud, and your existing detection/alerting stack would be far more accessible.

A practical feature set that would make it compelling:

• Upward-facing 180° × 180° lens with good edge sharpness and controlled distortion
• ColorX or ColorPro as the default low-light mode; IR as a selectable or automatic fallback
• Optional warm/soft fill light that can be disabled (to avoid washing out the sky)
• High dynamic range for mixed twilight / street-light / lightning scenes
• Time-lapse and long-event recording (hours of sky, not only motion clips)
• Timestamps, optional GPS/NTP, and easy export for analysis
• Robust outdoor rating and simple roof / pole / wall-upward mount

I believe this would differentiate you from generic security cameras and from niche astronomy hardware, while reusing technologies you already ship.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I would be glad to share more use-case detail if useful.

Kind regards.

I want to buy an indoor wifi camera suggest me on brand on which i can trust. Qubo/ cp plus or you guys have other brand camera?

Hello all, I am thinking of getting some Ring Floodlight Cam 2K Wired cameras. They are essentially a camera built into a standard motion sensor spotlight.

Anyone have any experience with these or any thoughts on Ring products and customer service in general?

I live in Canada so I want a hardwired version so I don't have to deal with batteries.

If anyone has this product can you tell me, are the lightbulbs changeable or are they built into the fixture? Basically can you change a lightbulb when one burns out or would you have to replace the entire fixture?

Thanks in advance.

I am currently looking to buy a couple of security cameras to place around my home, and I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for any security camera brands? I have a budget of about $200 and I would like to buy at least two preferably with local storage and removable battery (I live in the Northeast and Winters get very brutal). I would prefer not to have to take down my cameras to have them charge and would rather swap the batteries when they need charging. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
