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 Joseph Neal

Useless video recording

The app is having trouble connecting to cameras. The disadvantage of this product: does not record the entire motion detection event, it stops within 8-15 seconds. Other camera brands record full motion events for 15 to several minutes depending on when motion stopped. Reolink support stated that this is done to save battery life. This ensures long battery life with a useless video snap. In some cases, the movement was not recorded at all. The band is not as wide as the Arlo 2. I returned 2 of these cameras after I lost communication with the manufacturer and no solution was offered to fix the recording. A recording of the event would be useless as evidence to disprove the entire purpose of the surveillance camera. I ended up buying a Laview n11 camera and it's much better (cost me half of what I paid for Reolink).
