Okay, so after playing musical chairs with 10-12 security cameras, this black beauty and its discontinued sibling (RIP RLC-511WA) stole the show. The 511WA had a weird mounting issue – like a wobbly toddler refusing to stay put. But this RLC-510WA? Chef’s kiss for discretion.

First off, it’s BLACK. Not that flashy white scream-of-the-neighborhood nonsense. Want ninja mode? Check. No glowing night lights means burglars won’t even know they’re being filmed while tripping over your garden gnomes.

Now, the sensitivity settings? Genius. By day: hungry for action. By night: ignores bugs like they’re spam emails. My timeline went from looking like a rave party (thanks, fireflies) to only showing actual threats. Storage win – my 256GB card now lasts 25 days instead of 2!

PC software auto-launches like a loyal butler, and playback filters let me stalk… I mean, review footage by people/cars/mystery beta animals (coming soon!). Pro tip: adjust brightness settings unless you enjoy shadowy figures that could either be a burglar or your sleepwalking neighbor.

Cons? No WDR means faces at night are basically potato quality unless they’re kissing the lens. And spiders might photobomb your crime footage like unwanted influencers.

Final verdict: If James Bond needed DIY security, he’d swipe right on this camera. Just don’t expect Oscar-winning night cinematography.
