Yes, the antennae are built-in but in my testing this doesn’t seem to affect range noticeably. The dual-band Wi-Fi antennae are prominent by their absence.

Flip the camera over and you will find the slot for fitting the wall bracket and a sticker with the QR code for setting up the camera in the Reolink mobile app. The base of the E1 Pro has just the AC power input. The left and right sides of the body are bare but you will find the built-in speaker on the back of the lens housing. When the camera is in its default position of looking straight ahead, the SD card slot and the reset button are totally concealed! Tilt the lens up all the way using the Reolink mobile app or PC Client software and you can access the slot and the reset button. The SD card slot and the reset button are also placed here, which is actually a genius idea. The built-in microphone is placed just under the lens. If you look carefully you can see the red tinge of the Infrared LEDs under the darkened glass surrounding the lens. The black lens housing has a matte design and is super smooth to the touch. The daylight sensor is integrated into the ring-type 8 Infrared LEDs concealed smartly around the lens.

When tilting, only the black lens housing rotates up or down. So how does this Pan-Tilt camera work? When panning, the entire upper body revolves around the base. Overall, the high-quality fit and finish of the camera exudes a premium aura that belies its budget price. The tennis ball design of the body which surrounds the black lens housing is a neat design. The camera can be divided into 3 parts – the black lens housing, the white tennis ball shaped body, and the white base. It is very compact and weighs just 200 grams. The E1 Pro is different from any other Reolink camera I have seen.
