E1 Zoom

The Reolink E1 Zoom is the indoor camera I used for my living room, and it was honestly super easy to get into Home Assistant. You get pan/tilt control (355° pan, 50° tilt) and 3x optical zoom, which makes it great as a pet cam or general indoor security cam.

Pros

+Easy initial setup in the Reolink app
+Wi‑Fi connectivity (no PoE required)
+Pan/tilt plus 3x optical zoom for flexible indoor coverage
+Supports SD card so you’re not forced into cloud recordings
+Works well in Home Assistant via RTSP

Cons

-Requires a power connection
-RTSP setup requires adding YAML and restarting Home Assistant
