12-channel Wi-Fi 6 NVR

The Reolink RLN12W is a 12-channel Wi-Fi 6 network video recorder designed for homes or small businesses that use Reolink plug-in Wi-Fi or PoE cameras. It records continuously to a built-in 2 TB hard drive. The unit operates without a fan and connects to cameras wirelessly or through four dedicated RJ-45 camera ports. It is not compatible with battery-powered or 4G LTE Reolink cameras.

2 TB local storage expandable to 8 TB

The installed 2 TB drive provides several weeks of 24/7 footage from multiple cameras before overwriting begins. Capacity can be increased up to 8 TB by replacing the drive. Recording uses H.265 or H.264 compression to maximise available space. The system supports up to 12 simultaneous live streams (2 mainstreams and 10 substreams) for multi-device viewing.

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with four antennas

The recorder includes 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 radios and four external antennas for stable camera links over longer distances. It requires a DC 12 V / 2 A power supply and operates from -10 °C to +45 °C. Management is handled through the Reolink app or web clients on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Video output is available via HDMI or VGA for local monitoring.

Questions about this item

Can the RLN12W connect to my existing Reolink PoE cameras?

Yes — the NVR supports Reolink PoE cameras when they are powered by a separate PoE switch or individual power adapters, using the LAN port or the four camera RJ-45 ports.

How do I confirm the built-in 2 TB drive is recording correctly after first power-up?

Open the Reolink App or Client, add the NVR by scanning its QR code, then check the playback timeline for continuous green bars showing 24/7 footage on each paired camera.

What ships in the box and what must I provide separately?

The package includes the RLN12W recorder with 2 TB HDD pre-installed, a DC 12 V / 2 A power adapter, a USB mouse, and a quick-start guide; Ethernet cables for initial Wi-Fi camera pairing and any PoE switches or power adapters for PoE cameras are not included.
