REOLINK5MP Wireless Security Camera Outdoor, 2K+ Spotlight Color Night Vision Indoor, Solar/Battery Powered, Human/Car/Animal Detection Surveillance, 2.4G/5GHz WiFi, Home Hub Compatible, Argus 3 Pro

So I have cheaper Camaras currently and they just miss some motion due to the delay in turning on so it's gotten pointless. I tried the tapo Camara by tp link (C425) but it wouldn't stay connected to the Internet. I spent hours trying to get it to work and then returned them. The reolink Argus 3 Pro was just as easy if not easier to setup and is always connected. I've had it for over 24 hours and have put it through some testing.You will need an SD card to see time stamps and footage without paying for a plan. I like that I don't have to pay for this feature. The timers still turn the Camara on when there is motion, but it won't alert you. The Camara not only picks up motion, but sound which I really like. It hasn't disconnected once on me. The alert is delayed a few seconds, but the recording is not. It starts recording before I get the alert. Battery seems fine. I put it through quite the day with testing and messing with settings and drained the battery maybe 12%, but that was with a whole day of checking on it and messing with it. The app isn't as good as tp links, but gets the job done. I think there is room for improvement in this area, but it's not bad at all. Overall, it's better than my zumimall cameras and better than the tapo ones. I just ordered two more because this thing is sweet! Hopefully I don't have to charge it every week or I may buy the solar panel for the outside ones.Edit: I'm adding screenshot of the battery life for all 3 Camara's. One is in my sons room, one at the front door, and one in my back yard. This will alow you to see how many minutes it spent on and recording and where the life is now. I have all the Camara's on the high resolution setting. I am placing my sons Camara on the charger now that it's below 20%. Front door and backyard are fine, even through the heavy use during the break my kids had.

You need to get this camera! The battery version is simple to set up and can be used anywhere, inside or out. No wires, clear, sharp pictures... I have two and am thinking about getting more. You can't beat the price or quality for $69.00.

Pros: 1. It has pan and tilt mode allow you a very good range of movement on the head remotely. 2. Wireless works very well. 3. With the solar panel you can have it out there all year. 4. The app works fairly well and can record very well too.Con: 1. the picture quality is considered good but not great. 2. Motion detection is a hit or miss, can be unreliable.

This is my third Reolink camera, 2 in 2021 and one in 2022. I returned the previous two. This one is a Pro 3 and I like it better.I have also bought, and returned, a nest camera, a blink, a ring, an Arlo because they were lousy.Reolink Pro 3 Positive pointsImage quality is very goodEasy to install and add to your wifiSupport is decent considering they are somewhere in China or Hong Kong. It will take a day or two to respond.Reolink Pro 3 Negative pointsThe battery charge last less than a week and stops working at about 15% charge. You can set the sensitivity to a lower setting but you will miss over 75% of the action. This defeats the purpose of the camera. I have it set it to minimum and still have to charge it weekly. Leave on a week’s vacation and you will miss lots of recordings. By the way, none of the other cameras’ batteries last that long either, even the ones that claim to do so!Bottom line is that none of the battery operated cameras function the way the manufacturer tells you, or the way the reviewers tell you. Are they lying? Maybe exaggerating! they review these units with optimal set ups. In other words, their routers, their wifi, is a one to one set up for review. They can control the distance to the camera and every other aspect. We, the normal users, do not have similar capabilities. We can’t control the distance between the router and the camera, we can not control the bandwidth, and we have a dozen other pieces of equipment sucking up bandwidth from yours router, e.g. iPhones, iPads, tvs, games, etc. etc.Keeping that in mind, is it worth it to have a battery operated security camera? Only you can answer that. Is something better than nothing? You decide, but be aware that the unit will not likely operate exactly, or even close, to the way you expect!

The battery sure last long, have it in the attic and I can see what happens upstairs. Thanks

As expected works well outside

This is my first security camera so I did my research before deciding to get this after watching reviews on Youtube.Pros:- Image quality is one of the best considering it's a battery only.- Night vision is amazing, I can see cars license plates around 30 ft to maybe 40 ft and it's still clear.- It has PIR detection but it doesn't have zoning monitoring which can be a downside.- 128GB micro sdcard storage (don't know about you, but I'd rather keep the storage on an sdcard rather it going to a cloud storage or something)- 1440P resolution (LOOK AT THE CONS FOR THIS)- IP67 resistantCons:- IT DOES SUTTER IN BOTH PLAYBACK AND LIVE FEED. BUT IT CAN BE FIXED IF YOU PUT THE QUALITY TO EITHER BALANCED OR THE LOWEST QUALITY WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF GETTING A 1440P CAMERA.- The two way talk has a delay for me anyway but over it works somewhat.- The audio captured in the video can be choppy, maybe an update will fix this later on?- There is a notification delay when it detects something. I already put the setting from 15 to 8 seconds and it's still slow at notifying. By the time someone is detected they have already walked by maybe 3 feet away.Overall I'm happy with this security camera, I'll probably get the solar panel added to this so I don't have to keep taking it off everytime just to charge it.
