So great I bought two more!

We're snowbirds, and we wanted to have a way to see the outside of our places when we were away from them. We already had interior security cameras in both places, but had been procrastinating on an outdoor camera, not wanting to pay monthly fees. I have a flowering pink dogwood tree in front of the living room window up north, but each year when we got up there it had already blossomed. I wanted to be able to see the tree in bloom, and all the other early season flowers that come up around it. This was one of the main reasons I wanted an exterior camera. (also just to check on the outside of the property in general.) I did some googling and checked reviews on Amazon and came upon the Reolink Argus Pro. It seemed to be a perfect fit. I ordered it and the solar panel since would be gone for months at a time and not able to charge the battery. The camera and solar panel arrived and were so easy to set up. I mean *really* easy! I downloaded the app on my iPhone and just followed directions. Within five minutes the camera was functioning. I popped in a 16 GB micro SD card and I had my husband install the camera outside our living room window while I looked on the app to make sure I could see everything I wanted to see. We played around with different settings for a while, deciding to allow push notifications but not emails. The push notifications were enough. If you set the app to send emails of alerts, you get a nice snapshot along with the email. The solar panel keeps the camera charged between 98 and 100% at all times. That too was very easy to install and mount. Setting up the Reolink client on my laptop was a little more tricky, because the instructions aren't really as clear as they could be. For the Argus Pro, you have to enter the UID number, not the IP address. Then, you leave "admin" as the username, but you use the password you set up for your camera as password. A little non-intuitive but with help from customer support I got it. Customer support is only online, but they are very patient and responsive. Remember they're in a different time zone so you'll hear back from them the day after you email them. Be patient. They *will* get back to you! Our son was over and saw us install the camera and promptly went to Amazon and ordered one for his place. He loves it too. We then ordered a second one for our other place. We installed that one yesterday and added it to the app (very easy) and to the Reolink Client on the laptop. The photo I've attached in the view of both cameras in the Reolink app on the laptop. It's just so cool! The two year warranty is another good selling point. This is really a great little camera. The phone and PC apps are really well thought out and the company is very responsive. I highly recommend! Get the micro SD card. It's only five bucks and change for a Kingston 16 GB card here on Amazon. Get the solar panel if you don't want to charge the battery every now and then. Both are worth the extra money.

Outstanding. Easy to setup and install. Update 1/2019

Set the camera up in about 3 minutes. App controls are self-explanatory and feature rich. Paired it with the solor panel outside to watch my boat remotely in case of storms, flooding, etc. See picture. Update January 2019: Added a second outdoor camera with solar panel. Operating both at sub-freezing temps for several weeks and sub-zero for several days. Both working flawlessly with very slow battery drain. A little sun keeps these running without need for wired charge. Outstanding performance.

Rare that I leave a 5 star review, but...

This camera met and exceeded all expectations. Installation is a breeze. Battery life is great. It's been on a week now, and is at 88%. My guess is 60 days battery life before recharge. Access time is relatively fast; about 2-3 seconds. Customizable alerts; you can have it alert you 24/7 (but not record 24/7), or at any other interval. It's not recording all the time, just when there is an alert. You can have it alert you by message through the app and by email as well. By email, you get a quick snapshot of what's happening, but you can also access the unit through the app to get a video recording of the alert, as well as a live feed. Also, you can customize the alarm with a recording, which scares the hell out of my dog. It feels sturdy, and the mount is secure. I have three different types of monitors at my home; doorbell, inside and this one for exterior. This is my favorite.

Incredibly simple to setup and use

Simplest setup I've ever experienced in over 25 years of wrestling with technology. 2 minutes to setup and you can view video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. No messing with your router or port forwarding etc. No video recorder needed, just this little white egg. The phone app is good and the Windows client viewer is just ok. Took a little while to figure out that for the Windows client software, you need to enter the UID as "Search device in LAN" doesn't work for these cameras. But the smartphone setup, which is all that most people will use is wicked simple and fast. These are Peer 2 Peer cameras. That's what makes them so incredibly simple to setup and use. Unfortunately, there is a downside to P2P technology in that there are slight potential for security risks to your home network should a hacker gain access to your camera. The P2P setup punches a hole thru your firewall and opens a port which could potentially be exploited. Having a strong password for your camera goes a long way towards strong security but it isn't 100%. Two security risks exist. First, the obvious is that if someone hacks in, they can view what your camera sees. Depending on what you're monitoring, that may or may not be the worst thing in the world. Secondly however is the potential for a hacker to gain access to the code in your camera, reprogram it and turn it into a bot on your network to do great harm. That potential certainly exists for all P2P cameras. How vulnerable each system is will be completely unknown to us consumers. Not trying to scare anyone away from P2P cameras, just be informed and do a little research on how these things work. Many professionals who install cameras for a living absolutely recommend you do not use them due to the security risks and there have been cases of hijacked P2P cameras in sensitive installations. Of course their warnings need to be taken in the context of their business interests. All in all, picture quality is very good and you can select 1080p, 720p or a lower rez mode called 'fluent' which is still very functional for quick basic viewing and only uses about 200Kb per second of bandwidth which is great for weaker wifi signals, cameras far from the router or if you've been ratcheted down to 3G speeds. 135 degree lens gives you a wide viewing angle. Night vision is good. Camera stays off until you open the app on your smartphone at which point the camera will stay on for live viewing, snapshots or video grabs. When you turn your smartphone screen off, the camera turns off immediately in response. This is cool and excellent predictable behavior. You can set up motion detection sensitivity, low-mid-high and the amount of recording time once motion is detected. Recordings are stored on the micro sim card and can be pulled up at anytime. With the Windows client open, you can take snapshots or recordings and they are saved directly to your PC's hard drive. And the best for last.... NO WIRES. Seriously wireless. I have one in a flower bed right now and they are pretty waterproof with the rubber sleeve. Looks like you can easily get a month out of a full battery charge if there is not a lot of motion recording. I'll probably add the solar panel for some applications. It's not a perfect system, but if you are sick and tired of buying a new piece of technology, jacking around with it for hours or days, googling endlessly to figure out how to get the thing to work, becoming a short term expert on the thing only to forget almost everything you've learned in 6 months when the thing quits working and you need to troubleshoot it, this is the camera for you.

In my option this is the worlds best security cam

By far the very best Reolink cam I've ever purchased, and I've had quite a few - from the Reolink Argus, to the Argus 2, and now the pro. What makes this cam the best so far is the night vision. It's better than all the others I have. I just know I'm going to upgrade my existing Reolink cams to this model. The app is the same for all cams, so I didn't have to install anything else. As for installing the cam, it was super easy. Just had to screw it into the base, secure the base to the fixture, and had it up and running within just a few minutes.

Feell secure

My home is protected by a simply safe alarm system and now I added four Reolink Argus 2 camera's to my house. Three outside and one inside. These camera are truly worth the money. They have built rechargeable batteries that last long with proper use. I also added the SD cards in each one to store the videos. The WiFi works very well eliminating the need to have hard wired the camera's. The PIR feature detects movement and sends me an E mail and an alarm alert if motion is detected. I use this feature when I am not home. The night vision on these camera's is very good also. I highly recommend Reolink.

The best affordable security cameras on the market!

I had a few requirements when it came it purchasing security cameras for my home. I needed: 1080 picture quality Mobile live viewing/ cloud Wireless w/solar power option 2 way audio Siren Affordable The Reolink Argus Pro literally fit every criteria I needed. It’s the most affordable camera on the market for all the features it offers, I literally spent weeks looking online and in store for cameras that meet my requirement that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Fast shipping, easy set up and the app works so easy and effortlessly to access all the features I’ve always wanted. Now I have more peace of mind at home and away. Thank you for Reolink!

Argus Pro is the way to go!

It was very easy to setup and connect the Argus Pro camera. I bought two of these, one from Amazon and one from Alibaba Express. I bought the plug-in solar panels. I installed one high above my front door. I'm using the second one in my back patio it was extremely easy to set up. I always use the app when away from home. Some of the PIR motion alarms be due to squirrels, possums, cats... these work so well that I will be purchasing a third one soon. It is a nice camera, user friendly, solar panel plugs in and app allows me to connect anytime. I am trying out beta test free cloud service and also inserted 64GB card. UPDATE: Sept 9th- I am very happy with these 2 cameras. They connect with my phone or tablet app every time. Several of my relatives were amazed that the connection setup was so easy. Its pictures are in real-time and recorded videos are really clear and concise. It is easy to set up alerts. I set one up above my front door. The second one is in my back patio. I will set up a third one high above my driveway area. A solar panel keeps the battery charged 100%.

Great wireless convenience

This is the only device I could find that I did not need to pull wires for power. I bought the solar panels that is sold separately and it is very easy to install and get connected. Everything works as promised. My only complain is the sound on the device is weak. It alerts the intruder but sound is weak. Otherwise app is great. Sometime I get notifications from tree movements with wind but it catches all people.

No plugin

i have a lot of cameras ,indoors and outdoors and this camera is easy to place Any where I need it, because I don't need to be close to a plugin. The only Thing I did was to paint it flat black, white is to obvious. I paint all my outdoor cameras the same color as the house color where they are mounted.
