Reolink Solar Security Camera Outdoor, Smart Detection, Battery Operated Camera, 2-Way Audio, SD Card/Cloud Storage, Home Security Camera, Works with Alexa, Argus Eco+Solar Panel, Black

I had this model , argus eco, Reolink camera about five years ago, and it was working well until recently, when some functions stopped working . It would no longer store recordings or send emails. I've just replaced it with a new argos eco , and it's working well, as expected. The images are clear, good quality, and the person detection is good. You don't need to run wires into the house, you don't need to drill holes and the solar panel charges the camera battery even in cloudy conditions in the winter. Set up is very easy with no messing around with port forwarding in your router-the reolink sofware does it all for you. I would say that for the money, it's unlikely you could do better. It's early days with this new camera, but so far, no complaints. Edit: After changing the sd card in the five year old argos eco that this new one replaced, I found the old one was still working fine and sent pictures by email.

I was looking for a quality outdoor security camera so I could monitor our motorhome that's now stored at the side of the house. I wanted to avoid drilling holes through the external brick walls and messing with our electric cables. It also needed to operate via our WiFi network. After much research I decided to try this Reolink WiFi camera with solar charging. Installation was very simple and neat. The length of cable attached to the solar panel allows it to be positioned up to 4m from the camera. Instructions for connecting the camera could be clearer, however connecting to the app. was reasonably easy, a little more complex disyphering the instructions for the PC client. Picture quality night and day is excellent and the pir works well. Overall I'm impressed with this camera system and would recommend it as a low cost, easy to install, security solution.

I bought two of these cameras to cover the rear garden and due to where they were going they needed to be wireless with solar charging. The cameras themselves are well made and in HD provide a really crisp and clear picture. When you have to drop the resolution they are still OK but not like HD, more on that later. Both sets of mountings are sturdy and firmly grip the camera or solar panel. It even comes with a strap and plate so you can easily fix it to objects that you dont want to drill into (posts, trees etc). They are easy to install and set up. For storage, I am using Kingston Canvas Select Plus 64 GB Class 10 cards but TBH so long as you use good quality memory cards from a reputabele company you should be fine. Just avoid the cheaper/budget brands. The big negative is to do with the way that the cameras handle their its WiFi connection. It does not seem to matter how good your WiFi is, the cameras will usualy report one problem or another. You will get repeated messages stating Playback Failed only for the next recording to work fine. When watching a live stream, it always suggests that you drop the video quality down from HD to Fluent.... regardless of the network. When looking for recording you will frequently encounter a delay as it refreshes itself. This is SO annoying and totally unneccersary. Hopefully it's something they can sort out in the future. Am I happy that I bough them? Yes, but only becasue I have others installed which are worse. In short, if they could fix the slow WiFi spped then these would have been an easy 5 stars. As it is they only get 4 due to the poor way it handles WiFi.

I bought 3 of these cameras as I did not want to get involved in installation of power lines to external cameras. So battery powered and charged by solar seemed perfect. Sadly the solar is no use in the winter. All 3 cameras failed due to dead batteries without me knowing. Notification of battery status is linked to motion detection. I did not want to be notified of all motion picked up but that meant when the battery was not getting enough charge from solar I was not notfied. However, I did not think this to be an issue given solar would keep the battry chaerged which is the whole point of getting these expensive camers in the first place. For a month all 3 were dead. My neighbour had an incident and asked for my recordong of it. When I went to retrieve it that is when I founnd the camera batteries had been exhausted for over a month. So the major benefit of security camnera was lost. The camera themselves are very good but must have a wired power source for reliability.. The solar charging is not fit for purpose. I have wasted a small fortune on these cameras. They are all installed high up and need a ladder to access them. Am I supposed to go up and down ladders every few weeks to re-chaerge them? Useless.

Although I bought this Reolink Argus Eco camera nine months ago, I waited until I could assess reliability before posting a review. The camera came well packaged with good instructions. It is well made and smart. Setup was very easy and quick. I have been very impressed with the sensitivity of the alarm, promptness of recording start after the sensor is triggered and quality of the recorded images. Audio seemed weak at the camera end i.e. I had to be very close to the camera to hear anything from the camera speaker, but maybe I hadn’t adjusted the settings sufficiently. I use the camera inside my home to monitor it during extended periods away. It’s set up to send me an email and a snapshot when the sensor is triggered. I can then watch recorded footage remotely. Battery life is excellent (still 80% charge after 2 months). Daytime viewing is crystal clear and night vision is sufficient. The Reolink app (installed on my iPad) is user-friendly and allows for a wide range of remote settings and adjustments. I can’t comment on the solar panel since I’ve not used it (the camera is indoors). Anyone wondering whether to buy this camera should look at the Reolink support site – it’s clear from the clarity and detail of the guidance there that Reolink is a quality company with good customer support.

Şu ana kadar her şey yolunda. Kurulumu kolay oldu. Alexa ile uyumlu ama bazen Alexa açamıyor nedenini anlamadım. Çözünürlük iyi. Belirli alanları alarm sınırının dışında bırakabiliyor. Çok iyi ambalaj. Çok iyi kalite malzeme. Montaj parçaları çok iyi.

Installatie van de camera is niet moeilijk. Had wat moeite om de client software aan de praat te krijgen maar de service van reolink heeft me prima geholpen en uiteindelijk was dat ook een fluitje van een cent. Wij hebben geen goede wifi connectie en toch na paar maanden nog geen enkele uitval gehad. Wel soms paar keer de app resynchen om verbinding te krijgen met de camera. De kwaliteit is prima. Ook het zonnepaneel werkt prima. Veel instelmogelijkheden zodat je de PIR aan en uit kan zetten wanneer je wilt, met wel of niet opnemen of een mail/push notificatie. Werkt allemaal prima. Ook de bewegingsdetectie werkt prima. Soms wat vertraging in maar heb het idee dat alles wordt geregistreerd. Als ik zelf door het beeld loop of met de auto wordt dat tot nu toe altijd gedetecteerd. De instellingen staan op hoogste gevoeligheid.

W tej cenie bardzo dobry produkt. Ciężko wymagać czegoś więcej na podstawowe potrzeby. Alarm jest głośny. Mikrofon bardzo mocny. Jakość obrazu bardzo dobra.

Vous n'avez qu'à allumer la camera et scanner son code barre pour quelle soit ajoutée à l'appli, elle est en service dès que la clef Wifi est saisie dans l'appli. Le montage est simple, avec vis fournies ou sangle. La charge par panneau solaire et rapide, même l'hiver : la batterie est toujours à 100% en fin de journée. Je l'utilise avec une carte SD de 64Go que je consulte via l'application, que je sois connecté au wifi (c'est très rapide) ou pas (il y a plusieurs secondes de retard): il semble que l'application soit optimisée (elle ne passe pas par le cloud) lorsque la camera est en local contrairement à ce que j'ai pu constaté chez d'autres fabriquants. Les alertes sont programmables: notification instantanée ou email. Si vous activez cela, baissez la sensibilité de détection car, même avec leur algorithme intelligent anti-fausses détections, il y a des fausses alertes. C'est moins gênant lorsqu'on enregistre (lorsque la carte est remplie, il est possible d'écraser les vidéos les plus anciennes automatiquement). Le son est bidirectionnel, il est donc possible d'intéragir avec son interlocuteur: on a alors un visionphone bien plus performant que les sonnettes radio dont la portée est limitée. A ce sujet, j'ai remplacé l'antenne (elle est amovible) pour passer de 15m à 20m en portée. Mais vu qu'on n'a jamais assez de portée (ou de débit), vous pouvez aussi ajouter un prolongateur pour positionner l'antenne en champ libre. A noter que la camera est futée: elle adapte la résolution du flux temps réel au débit disponible. Les vidéos sont en revanche enregistrées à la résolution paramétrée (FullHD dans mon cas), vous le voyez lorsque vous décidez de sauvegarder une vidéo sur votre téléphone. C'est donc une bonne camera au concept mature: Reolink est une solide marque. Par contre, si vous être expérimentés avec cette marque de cameras (j'en ai d'autres sur un réseau avec NVR), il y a beaucoup de limitations: - comme l'explique le fabriquant, ce sont des caméras Cloud non accessible sur réseau via l'adresse IP - il n'est pas possible de régler la qualité d'image (pas de luminosité/contraste, exposition, etc...), donc il faut soigner la pose (sans contre-jour) - il n'est pas possible de régler les zones de détections: si une branche ou le chien est dans le champ de vision, il y aura des détections. C'est sans doute parce que la détection ne se fait que par PIR et non par reconnaissance d'image (pour l'autonomie). - une application bureau Reolink est disponible, mais elle ne permet pas de se connecter à la camera lorsque celle si est sur batterie (si on la connecte en USB, l'appli Windows fonctionne, ce qui facilite le paramétrage initial). Cette caméra est d'un excellent rapport qualité/prix, mais il y a des concessions à faire que les fonctionnalités...
