Today I’m excited to review the new Reolink Duo 3 PoE Camera! This is not the first video surveillance camera from Reolink I’ve reviewed and the reason I keep going back to Reolink is because they are one of the best cameras on the market, compatible with Synology Surveillance Station and Synology hardware, and full of exciting features that make video surveillance an inspiring experience. The Duo 3 PoE is an industry first, a 16MP UHD 180° Panorama Camera. The Reolink Duo 3 PoE breaks the mould from the usual dome/bullet-style outdoor security cameras. Its tough casing, sharp edges, and black/white color scheme result in a uniquely modern-looking camera that intrigues and appeals.
An Industry First: 16MP Ultra HD Panorama Camera

Smooth 20 fps
The default frame rate of the Duo 3 PoE is a smooth 20fps which means it can capture 20 images in a single second of video. Users can get a smooth live view and playback and, at 16MP, it provides 4 times the clarity of the regular 4MP model. This Reolink camera achieves ultra-high resolution, and doesn’t compromise on fluency.
Equipped with Two 2.8 mm/F=1.6 Lenses

Upgraded Dual-Image Stitching Algorithm

Basing on Laplacian Pyramid Blending technology, Reolink developed the exposure equalization technology. Every camera is calibrated with a uniform light to eliminate differences between the 2 lenses. Also, the manufacturing process was optimized to ensure that camera components other than the lenses are completely shielded from light. After these optimizations, the algorithm can achieve a standardized assessment of ambient light, enhancing the consistency of the brightness and color in the whole image.
