Reolink Argus 3 Pro 4MP/2K+ Wire-Free Smart Security Camera with Spotlight, 2.4/5GHz WiFi, 6000mAh Battery, Person/Vehicle Detection, Time Lapse

I purchased this product one and a half years ago and found that the battery doesn't recharge properly anymore. The recharging time was getting longer and longer as time went on and finally, it couldn't be recharged. The warranty is not covered since it's been 6 months. Also, it was very annoying to get it down from the high wall and to recharge it every 1 to 2 months. Loading the video is also very slow. I recommend not to buy this product.

used for a month or so, Paired with the solar panel, playback is slow to load but good quality on the high setting (guessing this might be better with cloud storage?). Motion capture to start recording is fairly hit and miss, probably only starts recording 50% of the time when a car pulls into the driveway and the amount of false positive recordings is massive - had to turn the phone notifications off. This maybe an issue with the camera being too high? Good night vision and the LED spotlight is fairly bright too.

overall the camera is somewhat useful and fairly decent value for money. Hardware: 5 stars - Software 2.5 stars. Hope there is a update to firmware?

Has mine for 8 months. Still 25% battery life left. It was triggered while we were in Australia and it was good to see the “interloper” was the neighbour looking after our place! If the manual is followed, set up is easy. Can’t fault this product. Has mine for 8 months. Still 25% battery life left.

I have four Reolink cameras set up outdoors on the wet West Coast.
All four are running on Solar panels, and the batteries stay topped up.
The oldest is now 3 years old and I have had no faults.
Once you have the sensitivity dialed in, these cameras are solid! I have four Reolink cameras set up outdoors on the wet West Coast.

We have now used this camera for about 7 months, so we have seen how this camera performs through winter (rain) and summer (heat). We connected the camera to the Reolink solar panel for wireless usage and have not had to take it out to charge ourselves (not even once). However, having said that, we keep the camera on a low to medium sensitivity setting. We couldn't keep the sensitivity level high because we live on a very busy road. At the high sensitivity level, the battery drained much faster than the sun could recharge it. Overall, Argus 3 Pro is a very reliable camera, and we are happy with the resolution - You can read car plate numbers...view more We have now used this camera for about 7 months, so we have seen how this camera performs through winter (rain) and summer (heat).

Overall, Argus 3 Pro is a very reliable camera, and we are happy with the resolution - You can read car plate numbers even if they are quite far away. The auto light on the camera is also very useful at night - You won't need separate outdoor lights. The light on this camera is very powerful. I think there could be more improvements to the app (i.e. showing a quick video with the app notification like Google does), but other than that, quite happy with the purchase.

I am totally new to security cameras but I am very impressed with the features it provides, especially for the price. Reasonably OK to install on my wife's phone and my laptop PC. But even though I am a product engineer (retired.), I found it time consuming to install (along with the wireless Reolink Solar Panel). With a swiveling mounting base, I thought it could be simply mounted under the eves in any position required and out of the weather but the base does not extend far enough down under the eves to the mount point on the camera to enable about a 90 degree pivot of the camera. Should have been supplied with a simple steel 90 degree...view more I am totally new to security cameras but I am very impressed with the features it provides, especially for the price.

Should have been supplied with a simple steel 90 degree angle bracket with holes pre-punched. And a punched plate for the Solar Panel to be mounted on the roof is also required. I fabricated a plate which slipped under a bottom concrete roof tile curved edge and fastened the outer end to the top edge of the gutter with 2 self-tapping screws. I bought a 200 x 80 x 1mm flat steel repair plate with multiple punched holes in it from Mitre 10 ($7.00) which I snipped to size for this. More thought about installation is required by Reolink.

Didn't check the compatibility, which cannot work with NVR. But is all good that I put indoor, and with SD card. The battery surprisingly last long. Would said it not suitable for outdoor, because is wireless, and easy to move around and put anywhere I want in the house, but it also mean easy to get stolen if is out door. Video quality quite good. Didn't check the compatibility, which cannot work with NVR. But is all good that I put indoor, and with SD card. The battery surprisingly last long.

Very good all round, except special care is required when connecting the USB socket, it is very easy to find the cover boot pushing the connector back off.

Good detection and is a small flood light during the night. We got their cloud offering thou there is a bit of a delay on notification but that is given as it is all wireless.

Definitely a good little camera for the budget savvy consumer. Bonus that the night vision is clear too. We’ve had it installed almost a month now and we’ve ironed out a few kinks. Had to get a wifi extender as the footage was quite patchy and the only place we could put it was in a wifi dead spot. I would DEFINITELY recommend buying the solar panel to go with it. It’s got great features for its price bracket. Definitely a good little camera for the budget savvy consumer. Bonus that the night vision is clear too.
