Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Reolink Argus 3 Spotlight Security Camera Wireless System + Solar Panel Outdoor Battery/Solar Powered, PIR Motion Activation, Two-Way Talk, Built-in Siren, Home Surveillance by Andy Jolley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent picture quality, but very unreliable.

The only good thing about this camera is the image quality. Otherwise, it's incredibly unreliable. I bought two of these cameras and two Eufy 2C cameras hoping these Argus cameras would be the best. Unfortunately, traffic is constantly fueled by false positives, and when I try to view a live feed I get a connection error about half the time. This is particularly bad when trying to view recorded footage, I almost never get the footage to pull up on any of my cameras. I have a very good WiFi connection at home and the fact that my Eufy cameras are further away than these cameras tells me it's not my WiFi. My Eufy cameras don't have the same image quality and detail, but they have proven to be much more reliable than the Argus system. I really thought I would like these cameras but I'm terribly disappointed as I prefer the idea of a standalone device with a removable memory card. There's no such thing as a perfect system, but if you need reliability and want to be able to check out your home or business without the headache of constant connection issues, I'd keep looking.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
