Great review and everthing in details. Overall, it is a great 4K wireless camera but the color night vision doesn't seem like 4K at all. Reolink needs to improve in this aspect.
Thanks for the review. I have have a couple of old Argus 2 cameras and your reviews was just what I needed right now as I'm think of buying a couple of newer models. Very informative and well present. Helped me to decided that all I really needed was the Argos 3 Pro!
Please excuse me if my question seems stupid. I am 79 years with some dementia and agent orange brain tumor so I am confused plus I am trying to set up a few security cams that my best friend my wife will be able to operate once I am gone. I have one of the first PT Argus it’s three or four years old now and so far no major issues except once in a while it will go off line. Will this the new one scan to the area it is alerted to on its own and than return to a preset place? I have a Trax camera now just to try it out. But it’s just to hard for me to use with to many settings. Plus its picture quality isn’t any better than the PT camera I have had for 4 years. I would like a new camera that has a better picture plus a camera that when it detects something automatic goes to what it’s detected and returns to its original place. I am sorry if I wasn’t clear with my questions because if it does these things I will return my Argus PT in for it. BTW I subscribed to your channel. I found your review very good and it’s nice to have a nice young lady explaining things for a breath of fresh air. Thank You and Cheers
Hello! That's very smart of you to be thinking ahead like this. Reolink and other cameras like it often allow users to add others into the same account to use and control the same cameras. This way, you, your wife, and your best friend can all use the cameras at the same time. Here's a resource I found: support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011355734-How-to-Add-Admin-User-Accounts-to-Reolink-Cameras-via-Reolink-App/ Hope that helps!
Sadly it can't do target following which is usually a basic function of a PT(Z) camera even in the lower segment. Without this the pan and tilt function is just a gimmick.
Hi! A little help please, does the camera "patrol" an area of my choosing? Let's say if I place it on my porch can I set it to patrol from left to right? Thanks!
I just ordered a couple of these so I can let you know soon. But I bet the answer is no. At this price point I bet constant rotation would break these down fast
Sorry forgot about this over the holidays...they do not follow when it senses motion...but for a battery powered/solar wifi camera they arent bad...if you can provide the needed power though i would have gone with trackmix...i just wasnt kean on drilling any holes in my walls.
Can two people with two separate phones connect and control the camera through the app? Or, will it only allow one phone at a time to be connected? Also, does the app handle having two separate cameras at the same time?

Great video with well thought out review of pros and cons
Great video that was well presented and very informative! Reolink should thank you! Thanks and God bless you (John 3:16)!
Side note - you're background music is almost as loud as your vocals on my headphones
Thanks for the head's up!

Also curious…trying to figure out if this or a 2K resolution Trackmix would be better

How do you see videos that previously happened ?
A question, if my wifi disconnects due to some error, can my reolink argus pt solar camera continue recording until I can fix the wifi?
I got an Argus 2 and yes it does still records if the WiFi disconnects. Once you have a SD card installed.
Can two people with two separate phones connect and control the camera through the app? Or, will it only allow one phone at a time to be connected? Also, does the app handle having two separate cameras at the same time?
yes, 2 separate phones connected to the same cam, using the app. You can also view all cameras at the same time
Do you need to remove the memory to view it?
no, you can view the footage straight from your phone
