Review on πŸ“· Reolink Argus 3 Pro: 4MP Outdoor Security Camera with Dual Band WiFi, Person/Vehicle Detection, Solar/Battery Powered, Motion-Activated Spotlight, Local SD Card/Cloud Storage by Edward Henderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It fell apart in 3 months

I've been using Reolink products since 2017 when I bought the original wireless Argus on Indiegogo. Unfortunately, this weekend was a turning point. One of my Argus Pro 3 broke and is no longer working. Purchased from Revain in February. It attaches to the Reolinks solar panel. The lenses were fogged up so I opened the compartment up to the switch and upon closer inspection it was filled with water, the outer edge of the white lid had come off a bit and there was water around the edges as well. The openings in the speaker compartment were also filled with water. It's not waterproof. I live in Southern California. It doesn't rain that often here. The last rain was last week. Maybe 10 minutes and a light drizzle. I shook out as much water as possible and then let it dry in the sun for 3 days. I turned it on and only heard beeps, then I turned it off and more beeps lasted about 5 minutes and then it stopped. I gave it a few more hours and no sound when I turned it on so I turned it off. I thought the battery was low so I plugged it in. The indicator turned orange and then green after an hour. I click on it again. There is no noise. I tried the reset button. There is no noise. So I think it's messed up. It was great while it lasted. I went back to my old Argus Pro that I had from 2018 and attached it to the solar panel. He's been working like a champ for the last 3 days. My other Argus Pro 3 still works great.
