IP security camera Reolink Fisheye P520 6MP dome, 2560×2560, 180° fisheye, PoE/DC, microSD up to 256 GB

The Reolink Fisheye Series P520 6MP is an indoor/outdoor PoE fisheye IP security camera that delivers a full 360° panoramic view using a single dome unit. With a 1.98 mm fixed focal length and a 180° viewing angle horizontally, vertically and diagonally, the camera covers large areas and supports multiple display modes including quad view for monitoring four adjusted focus spots. The P520 records in 6MP Super HD, supports wired Ethernet connectivity and can be ceiling- or wall-mounted.

Advantages

The camera provides seamless 360° coverage with one device, reducing the need for multiple cameras. Multiple display modes give flexibility to view the scene as a single panoramic image or split into separate views such as quad mode. 6MP Super HD captures finer details compared with typical 5MP fisheye models. Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation by carrying power and data over one cable. Built-in person detection improves alert accuracy, two-way audio enables real‑time communication, and varied storage options include microSD (up to 256 GB), NVR and FTP support.

How to use

Mount the dome camera on a ceiling or wall in a position that provides an unobstructed view of the monitored area. Connect a single Ethernet cable to enable both power and network communication via PoE; configure the camera using the Reolink software or compatible NVR to select the desired display mode (panoramic, quad view, etc.) and set detection zones. Insert a microSD card or configure NVR/FTP storage if local or remote recording is required. Adjust audio and notification settings to enable two‑way talk and person detection alerts.

Recommendations

For best coverage and detection accuracy, install the camera centrally within the space to minimize blind spots, ensure stable PoE power and network connections, and place the unit at a recommended height for your use case (ceiling mounting for wide-area surveillance, wall mounting for targeted angles). Regularly test alerts and periodically review recorded footage to confirm optimal placement and settings.
