Common questions
How far can the REOLINK RLC-823S1 4K PoE PTZ Camera, 5X Optical Zoom identify someone?
REOLINK does not publish both a sensor resolution and a focal length for this product, and DORI distance cannot be derived without both. Rather than estimate one, this sheet leaves it out. If you have the manufacturer datasheet to hand, the DORI calculator on this site works the distance out from those two figures directly.
What is the infrared range of the REOLINK RLC-823S1 4K PoE PTZ Camera, 5X Optical Zoom?
REOLINK does not publish an infrared range for this product, so this site does not state one. An invented figure would be worse than no figure, because a reader would plan a camera position around it. Where a maker does publish a range, treat it as the distance its own lamp reaches in ideal conditions rather than the distance at which a face stays identifiable.
What specifications does REOLINK publish for this product?
Resolution: 8 MP, Optical zoom: 5 x. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.
Is the REOLINK RLC-823S1 4K PoE PTZ Camera, 5X Optical Zoom worth buying?
Five times optical zoom multiplies pixels per metre at the far end of a drive by five, which no amount of sensor resolution on a fixed wide lens will do. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits
Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
