Reolink Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, Argus 3 Pro+Solar Panel, 2.4/5GHz WiFi Camera, Battery Operated Security Camera with Person/Vehicle Detection, 2K Color Night Vision, Two-Way Audio, IP65

These cameras are amazing and do exactly what you need. I have gradually built a whole home cctv system with them and can view my property from anywhere in the world. I did have a problem with one of my cameras a year or so ago and Reolink were great and sorted it out for me, great customer service.Since then the cameras have been trouble free providing high quality images that you can really zoom into. First Class.Currently great value for money, the solar panels provide more than enough energy to keep the cameras fully charged, even in the winter, clear bright images and footage, very easy to set up.

Still going strong after 2 years of regular use. Brilliant camera and picture quality still miles ahead of Ring.Software interface is relatively basic but it works consistently and streams live in 1-2 seconds. Very configurable settings, and best of all there are no subscription charges.Service support is also very good from Reolink.Highly recommended.

It was a great camera however could not get it set up at the caravan site. 5g internet and every camera was the same

I bought this camera for video surveillance just to focus on the drive away, however, i encoutred multiple issues with it. Many times i try to connect to the camera and it fails to connect and required multiple tries in order to connect. The WIFI signal to my router is strong and the camera is only few meters from it. It stopped working during the snow time battery went flat i understood that the sun wasn't there to charge the battery but the solar panel also is not adequate for charging very slow. I had to remove the camera to charge it at home. A next vague of cold came and the camera stopped working completely i removed the camera to charge it again but the battery wasn't taking the charge and basically the whole camera become useless. I advice the buyers to check a more reliable product.I am unable to contact amazon to seek support.

I bought this the other day to replace a battery operated reolink camera, that is starting to give faults. Sadly after trying everything including reset twice, and rebooting my WiFi, and reinstalling the app, it just would not connect. I have just returned it for a full refund. It would be an excellent camera if it had worked on my WiFi network.

Simple to install, very effective in use.

Ok so you read the reviews, you watched the youtube videos, everyone says this camera is great......yeah in the very short periods and circumstances they probably set it up in, it probably would have been.Ok reality is though, good image quality is the only thing this camera has going for it, well kind of I mean yes it's good, but not CSI "enhance", "enhance" style good. But it's definitely better than say your average Blink camera, probably not enough to make a difference when it comes to making a positive ID if you need to provide footage to the police, but you'll at least be able to tell if it's someone you recognise or not even at max distance.Not that the video quality actually matters, and here's why: Most of the time this thing will be hanging dead and lifeless with a flat battery, with you too worried to lay a finger on it if you can avoid it, because getting it pointing just right was such a nightmare the first time.Here is why, the solar panel does nothing when it's cloudy, and let's face it England is hardly famous for it's fine weather. Yesterday we got a bit of sun and 1pm amazingly the battery had gone from 0% to 21%. The day before, it was cloudy... and the camera didn't even get enough charge to turn on once. As I type it's 10:52, on a dry but cloudy day, and my camera is a useless decoration on the side of my house and no charge. Now I know what you're thinking, you're thinking but Mr APOC286 that's because you're an idiot who didn't point the panel south, and put it in a position where it'll be in the shade all day. And I wish you were right, because then I might have a way of fixing the problem. Unfortunately for Mr APOC286, he is only an idiot *sometimes* and this is not one of them. No I pointed it south, in fact I didn't just point it south, I used the same state of the art technology used in such modern advances as the sundial to determine the optimal direction, and mounted the panel away from the house on a raised post, so literally the only thing that gets between the sun and my panel are houses on the other side of the street, and no I don't mean the houses directly opposite, I mean way down the street, since my street runs in a mostly southernly direction.So ok, why not just take it down and charge it. Well when I was researching this purchase that was my thought too, that if say the weather got really bad for days/weeks, I could just bring it in and pop it on charge. This was before I discovered the mount is useless. It relies on a screw tightened ring, to push a metal ball into a rubber cup, and the friction between the two is supposed to hold it in place. Except it doesn't, you can't really tighten it enough to generate enough friction, and I don't mean I'm too puny, and that surely the application of more brute force is all that's required. No for my fingers are mighty, I mean the screw thread literally bottoms out preventing you from tightening it further. This means getting it in position, especially if mounting it near the 7ft Reolink recommend and a good height and horizontal angle to capture someone's face becomes incredibly difficult, and by the time you've fanangled it enough to stay roughly in position, you never ever want to touch it ever again, as even the slightest interaction like say the removal and refitting of the micro usb charging lead and it's waterproofing rubber ring will have it pointing off in entirely the wrong direction. I guess if you want it pointing pretty much just down, it's probably fine, but if you want a more horizontal angle then just forget about it, life is too short for that kind of messing about in crap weather (because if the weather wasn't crap you wouldn't be messing about trying to charge it in the first place). Oh and goodluck if you set this thing up in a way that needs a ladder rather than just a bit of a stretch...Now what might make those issues more bearable is a good battery life. Yeah... umm nope... dead within about 24hrs if you want it to cover from from house to street, of a roughly 5m long garden. This could maybe be extended, if motion zones were a thing with this camera, because you could at least only have it record when something moves in areas of interest, saving battery life for when it actually matters. However despite being a feature on potato cams like the Blink indoor cameras that don't even have object recognition, the Reolink software is entirely bereft of this feature, so if it see's something move it's recording it, even if it's a part of the frame you don't care about, but can't exclude without missing things you do care about.I suppose what else is there to say? I suppose the motion detection does work, I don't have recording after recording of just empty footage, and *most* of the time it picks up things that I would want it to. My wife and houseguest, have managed to get past it a couple of times without being picked up, but most of the time, it works, when you want it to work, it even has a half decent chance of telling the difference between a person and a car.The wireless performance is kind meh I guess. Most of the time, when it works I don't have a problem connecting to it, but it does disconnect reasonably frequently, and sometimes it takes more than one go. It's usable, and despite the disconnects it streams video quickly to my phone or PC. However, the number of walls between it and my mesh wifi network, is a grand total of 1, and that wall is bay window. In fact there is actual line of sight between the mesh AP and the camera via the window. Based on this I'm attributing this not to wireless reception, but just a little manageable quirk.If I was maybe being exceptionally kind I would say that I would consider this camera in a mains, or POE, powered variety. But as a battery powered device, using solar charging I'm afraid it's a fail. I would return it, but annoyingly the box fell apart, and it got mistakenly disposed of, so I'm stuck with it. Since this just uses micro usb to connect to the panel, I think I'm going to look into a better panel and see if maybe that salvages things, so this isn't an entire waste of money. I might also have a go, at 3d printing a better mounting solution as well.

Ridiculous price for what you get. Please read other's reviews they are accurate in my opinion. The support team take you around in circles only to tell you a few months later that your 2 year warranty has expired, but they will give a discount on another newer model. No thank you, had enough of Reolink Quality. Reviews of 2023 still relevant today.
