The Reolink RLC-511W is the outdoor camera I used for my backyard view, and it’s a really solid value for the price. It’s IP66 weatherproof with 4x optical zoom, and once you grab the IP from the app, dropping the RTSP stream into Home Assistant is basically plug-and-chug.
Pros
- +Very affordable for a 5MP outdoor camera
- +IP66 waterproof rating for outdoor installs
- +Wi‑Fi connectivity (no PoE required)
- +4x optical zoom
- +Supports SD card recording
- +Integrates into Home Assistant via RTSP
Cons
- -Requires a power connection
- -Needs manual RTSP configuration in Home Assistant
