REOLINK 5Ghz Security Cameras Outdoor Wireless WiFi, Argus 3 Pro+Solar Panel with 5MP Color Night Vision, 2.4/5Ghz WiFi, Non-Stop Solar Powered, Human/Vehicle Detection, Home Hub Compatible

Great cameras, just wish they were a bit faster on detection
Over the last few years, I’ve purchased 4 of these cameras, all Reolink. I do really like the clarity of the images, and these cameras’ durability. I have an older one (2MP), and have since gotten more 3 of these upgraded versions. They have improved, however, as with most security cameras, they don’t pick up the recordings as fast as they should. After dark (or even in the daytime), when motion is detected, the camera’s security light comes on (at night only) instantly, but the recording doesn’t start until a second or 2 afterwards (day and night). By that time, the object has moved out of frame. This is an issue with many security cameras, but, from some of the others I’ve tried, and for the price, this is the best I’ve found. The solar panels make these completely standalone and electrical wire-free, as well as worry free too. I like the immersive option on the APP, that lets me see all 4 camera images on a single frame on my phone. Setup is fairly easy, but even easier if you’re adding to an existing setup. Initially, on my first setup, I had to lower a security option on my router setting to get these to work outside of my home Wi-Fi (I noted the setting in a previous review for the older 2MP model, but can’t remember which option it was, I will try to find it, and add it later to this review). Once that option setting was set to a lower level, I was able to see the camera’s views wherever I was when away from home. If the router setting was set to high, I could only see the camera views from my home Wi-Fi, which is not ideal when away from home. Overall, I think these are very good cameras for the price. They come with multiple ways to mount them too. If they correct the record on detection issue to make it faster to begin recording, I’d give them a 6 star review.

OVERALL A GOOD CAMERA FOR THE PRICE
I bought three of these cameras. Two for inside owl Boxes, one for outside the Owl box.PROS- Two of the three cameras worked very well for our needs.- Good quality image- Easy to download Clips that save to gallery- App allows for a lot of adjustments to cater to your needs. Examples: scheduling record times, adjust motion area, set to person, vehicle, animal, etc.- They continue to improve the app.- Excellent helpful tech support who go the extra mile for their customers. (5 stars for tech support)- No subscription necessary. Can use SD card for storage with easy access, so do not need cloud.CONS- can only extend record time 30 seconds after motion trigger. It would be great to have longer or custom options. May be because it is solar and it is trying to save battery.- We could not get the outside camera to work properly for our needs. It wouldn’t trigger when when needed it to, over triggered at other times, and could not adjust well enough for the over exposure. (Notes: (1) I had another camera not far from it that may have been somewhat contributing to problems (2) tech support worked very hard for several weeks to fix but we couldn’t get it working properly.- RMA worked with me to try a different camera off theirs to meet my needs.BOTTOM LINEI do recommend this camera. Don’t hesitate to reach out to tech support before returning if you have any problems. Just be careful if you have issues to keep an eye on your return window in case it can’t be resolved.

Quality product and very easy to install. Solar charging is great battery stays fully charged.

Easy to setup and install. Definitely get the solar panel to keep it charged. Great night vision.
