Review on 📸 REOLINK Argus Eco+Solar Panel: Advanced Outdoor Security Camera System - 1080p Wirefree, Solar Powered, Waterproof, Night Vision, 2-Way Talk, PIR Motion Sensor, Alexa Compatible by Gilbert Cokky

This is for the Argus Eco + Solar kit. The setup was poorly documented and it took a lot of trial and error, consulting the website manual to figure out a way to get the system working. You should have at least one detailed user manual available online. The system (camera and solar panel) arrived well packaged, with enough hardware to easily mount it on a building or tree. The antenna is detachable, which is good if you need to extend the antenna or get a directional antenna up and running. The WiFi range is limited, but no worse than many devices. (I get over 100 feet, less than 200) Motion detection is a PIR, it doesn't have the ability to "mask" motion detection areas, which can be bad for some applications; it will try to filter out the "flapping". ' and 'blowing leaves' however. Solar charging works well when you get full sun for "a few" hours each day. The camera should (but shouldn't) be able to FTP photos to an FTP site, which drains the battery no more than going to its own cloud (which it does). This allows it to function like a WeatherUnderground camera. Too bad they didn't implement it. They could embed themselves in their cloud service, but they don't. Software/Apps. Good design but bad documentation. The Reolink software (PC64) was automatically installed OVER the existing Swannview application and broke this setup. Uninstalling didn't help, so I had to restore my Win10 PC system from an image. (Avoid that horrible hassle by piping the install to a new directory.) Oddly enough, your PC32 software did NOT make this mess and automatically installed itself into its own directory on the Win7 PC. Reolink (PC) and Reolink (Android) also work well with old Swann DVR boxes, an undocumented, unsupported feature that's very nice. They offer 30 days free cloud, good for a camera. Not sure if this allows free renewal or not. I use this camera in wildlife camera app in the wild near a creek. I can update how this system tests. The resolution is good enough.
