Reolink RLC-1240A 12MP vandalproof PoE network camera

12MP vandalproof PoE dome camera

The Reolink RLC-1240A is a wired network camera built for outdoor surveillance. Its IK10-rated metal housing resists physical impact while IP67 sealing handles rain and dust. A single RJ45 cable carries both data and power through PoE, simplifying installation on walls or ceilings. The camera records continuously to a microSD card up to 256 GB or to a compatible NVR.

Sustained 20 fps 12MP streaming

Under continuous load the sensor maintains a steady 20 frames per second at the full 4512x2512 resolution. The 2.8 mm lens provides a fixed 145° field of view without mechanical pan or tilt, so the image remains stable during long recording sessions. Integrated 3000 K warm LEDs activate automatically in low light, delivering colour footage instead of switching to infrared monochrome. ONVIF and standard streaming protocols keep the feed compatible with third-party recording software around the clock.

12MP resolution at 4512x2512 pixels

The defining specification is the 12-megapixel CMOS sensor producing 4512x2512 pixel video. This resolution determines whether facial details or licence plates remain legible across the 145° viewing angle. Buyers who need higher pixel counts or motorised zoom should consider other models, while the fixed lens and single Ethernet port limit use cases requiring variable focal lengths or redundant network paths.
