Reolink Duo 3V PoE - 16MP UHD IK10 Vandal-Proof PoE Camera with 180° Panorama

The Reolink Duo 3V PoE is a 16MP dual-lens dome security camera that covers a full 180° panorama with a single device. Its IK10 vandal-proof, IP67 weatherproof housing is built for exposed outdoor spots, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) means one cable carries both power and data. It adds colour night vision, person, vehicle and animal detection, Motion Track, two-way audio and local recording with no monthly fees.

The Reolink Duo 3V PoE is a dual-lens dome camera for outdoor and indoor video surveillance. Two 4K sensors are stitched into one 16MP image (7680 × 2160), so a single camera watches an area that would normally need two. The dome is rated IK10 against impact and IP67 against weather, and the camera is powered and connected by one Ethernet cable.

KEY FEATURES

• 16MP Ultra HD: 7680 × 2160 at 20 fps, sharp enough to read the licence plate of a parked car from up to 16 m.
• 180° panorama: a wide, stitched view without the blind spot between two separate cameras.
• IK10 vandal-proof dome: withstands heavy impacts and tampering.
• PoE power: IEEE 802.3af, one cable for power and data.
• Colour night vision: F1.6 lens and six spotlights, plus infrared night vision up to 30 m.
• Smart detection: tells people, vehicles and animals apart to cut false alarms.
• Motion Track: one image shows the whole path a person or vehicle took.
• Two-way audio: built-in microphone and speaker.
• Spotlights and siren: active deterrence when motion is detected.
• No monthly fees: record to a microSD card (up to 512 GB), a Reolink NVR or FTP.

WHEN IS THE DUO 3V POE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

Choose this camera when you need to cover a wide area from one mounting point and the camera will hang within reach of people.

• Building entrances, shop fronts and facades: the 180° view covers the door and the pavement on both sides at once.
• Car parks, driveways and yards: 16MP resolution keeps plates and faces readable across the whole width of the scene.
• Low ceilings, passages, garages and stairwells: the IK10 dome is hard to break, turn away or pull down, which matters wherever the camera can be reached by hand.
• Schools, warehouses, residential blocks and public areas: vandal resistance and a wired connection suit sites that need dependable recording all day.
• New builds and renovations with network cabling: PoE keeps installation to a single cable per camera.

ADVANTAGES OVER A STANDARD SECURITY CAMERA

• Replaces two cameras: a typical single-lens camera sees roughly 90° to 110°. The Duo 3V PoE sees 180°, so you buy, mount and cable one device.
• Four times the detail of 4MP: 16MP lets you zoom into a recording and still recognise a face or a plate.
• Tougher housing: a standard bullet camera can be knocked aside or smashed. An IK10 dome is designed to survive that.
• Colour at night: spotlights give a colour image where an ordinary camera shows only black and white infrared.
• Fewer false alerts: person, vehicle and animal detection replaces simple pixel-change motion detection.

IK10 VANDAL-PROOF: WHAT IT MEANS

IK is the international rating for resistance to mechanical impact, and IK10 is one of its highest levels. It corresponds to an impact of 20 joules, about the same as a 5 kg weight dropped from 40 cm. In practice, the camera keeps working after a hit from a stone, a bat or a ball, and it is much harder to disable on purpose. Together with the IP67 rating, the camera is protected against vandals, dust and heavy rain.

180° PANORAMA: WHAT IT MEANS

The camera has two lenses side by side. Their images are joined into one wide picture, so you watch a whole street front, yard or hall in a single view. There is no gap between cameras where someone could pass unseen, and you manage one video stream instead of two.

WHAT IS POE AND WHY DOES IT HELP?

PoE (Power over Ethernet) sends electrical power and network data through the same Ethernet cable. The camera needs no power socket nearby and no separate power adapter.

• Simple installation: one cable per camera, up to 100 m long.
• Stable connection: a wired link is not affected by weak Wi-Fi, thick walls or interference.
• Reliable 24/7 recording: a wired camera handles continuous 16MP recording without dropouts.
• Central power: all cameras are powered from one PoE switch or NVR, which can be backed up by a single UPS.
• Safer outdoors: low-voltage cabling, no mains socket outside.

Note: the camera needs a PoE source (IEEE 802.3af), such as a PoE switch, a PoE injector or a Reolink PoE NVR. These are sold separately. A 12 V DC adapter can be used as an alternative power source (not included).

TWO-WAY AUDIO: WHAT IT MEANS

The camera has a built-in microphone and a speaker. You hear what is happening at the camera, and you can speak through it from the Reolink app on your phone or computer.

• Talk to a courier or a visitor at the door without going there.
• Warn off an intruder in real time, which often stops an incident before damage is done.
• Record sound together with video, so the footage carries more evidence.

Note: two-way audio means sound travels in both directions. A camera with one-way audio only has a microphone, so you can listen but not answer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the Reolink Duo 3V PoE need a monthly subscription?

No. Live view, alerts, smart detection and local recording work without any fee.

Can I use the camera without an NVR?

Yes. Insert a microSD card of up to 512 GB and connect the camera to a PoE switch or injector on your network.

Is the Duo 3V PoE suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It is rated IP67 for dust and water and IK10 for impact, and it operates from −15 °C to +45 °C.

How wide is the view?

180° horizontally and 53° vertically, from two lenses joined into one image.

Does it record sound?

Yes. It has a microphone and a speaker, so it records audio and supports two-way talk.

What is the difference between the Duo 3V PoE and the Duo 3 PoE?

Both offer 16MP and a 180° view. The Duo 3V PoE has a dome housing with an IK10 vandal-proof rating, which makes it the better choice for places within reach.
