Description of 📷 Reolink Argus PT: Pan Tilt Solar Battery Camera Outdoor Wireless for Home Security - Starlight Color Night Vision, PIR Motion Sensor, 2-Way Audio, Alexa/Google Assistant Compatible

Solar/Rechargeable Battery-Powered: Argus PT comes with a long-lasting but non-removeable rechargeable battery. Self-powered, so it can work without power cables and run well during a blackout. As the name implies, this is rechargeable with Reolink solar panel. No need to plug into power ever. Will run 24/7, 365 days a year with eco-friendly charging from the sun. (Power adapters and Reolink Solar Panels are sold separately). 1080p Full HD and Starlight Night Vision: Reolink Argus PT delivers exceptional visual performance backed by a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor, capturing quite clearer and smoother videos than 720p cameras. Even at night, with advanced starlight technology, it can see through the dark up to 33 feet in very low light conditions. Under the keen eye of this wire-free battery-operated camera, crimes have nowhere to hide. Pan/Tilt and Two-Way Audio: Reolink Argus PT can turn its head 355° horizontally and 140° vertically, which offers an enormous viewing angle. Your wide front porch or store can be covered with only one wireless PT battery powered IP camera. Supports 2-way audio, which allows a flexible 2-way communication with your loved ones. Flexible WiFi and Simple Installation: Live view and playback Argus PT directly with your device via a 2.4G WIFI router. Easy and intuitive to set up with the Reolink App. Simply follow the voice instructions. Extras include a micro USB connector to attach the camera to the solar panel. Secure, Easy & Reliable Cloud Storage: Argus PT is now compatible with Reolink Cloud. Motion triggered recordings can be uploaded to the cloud and micro SD card. The encrypted Cloud service provides off-site backup of these critical moments and also allows you to access and play back video history anytime, from anywhere.

Great for wireless monitoring

I did a lot of research before deciding on Reolink. I also need/want 360 view and wireless functionality. I connected this camera to Solar Charge and it worked great. The video quality isn't as good as the RLC-410W 4MP I set up or the wireless Argus 2. However, I didn't have to charge this one and the connection is very stable. You also get micro SD recording, so you don't have to worry about the WiFi going down and not saving to cloud storage. The Apple app is amazing. I also use the desktop…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Nothing here

Poor quality products, best in category security cameras

Do not buy products from this company. It is extremely unlikely that they will connect to Wi-Fi, which will cause the camera to malfunction. This allowed my car to be hacked with a camera just meters away from me. It didn't work even with the sensors set to the highest level. It takes so long to notify you, if you get them at all. You wouldn't stand a chance of catching anyone. Even with SD cards in the shutter, the speed is so slow that the camera turns on and only sees the end of what could…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

In my opinion, the Reolinks Argus PT is a very good, well-made camera.

Reolink's Argus PT is a very good security camera. The picture quality is very good in my opinion, which my videos and photos show. The setup was a bit confusing for me but then again I'm 74 years old and don't know much about electronics but I finally got everything set up and it works great. This is a very good warning that our UPS employee will drop a package or reindeer in our yard. I will say that to use cameras with max 1080p quality settings you must have 155 megabytes on the camera. But

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • So-so

Product is not weatherproof

I have 5 Reolink Argus Pro cameras and have been using them for a year. These are fantastic cameras so I decided to add 2 more cameras for 2 blind people. Stains, so I ordered 2 PT 180P cameras with 360 degree pan and tilt. They worked great for a month but we had a big storm which lasted 3 days with wind and heavy rain, both cameras turned off when I went after them, they were both flooded with water and stopped working. I tried drying them but there was water in them and I was worried about…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not bad

Easy setup, great pan, tilt and zoom.

I ordered two of these because I have used REOLINK products and found them to be excellent. I've been looking for an outdoor PTZ camera solution for over a year, but didn't want to download and control another camera view app. Because I have 2 12ch DVRs in one app, 6 Yi cameras in another app and 2 REOLINK Argus cameras in a third one. I chose REOLINK because I could link it to my ONVIV viewer and view DVR channels and 4 REOLINK channels. I went with the solar panel option and have to say I'm…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Update availability

I've spent a lot of time searching and reading reviews. What I liked most and ultimately made me choose this camera was this camera's ability to pan and rotate to get different views from one installation location and that it is connected via Wi-Fi, which is what makes it so a set of cameras will eliminate the need for wires. Setup was very easy. And this is easy with the Reolink app, just like installing a camera on a dashboard. I also bought an SD card and a solar charger. The camera worked…

Pros
  • Build Quality
Cons
  • Safety

Stay away from that camera! I've had one of these cameras for a little less than a year and was disappointed. In addition, Reolink's support is not only highly disappointing, but also absurd. I contacted them twice about the unstable WiFi connection and they only blamed my WiFi network. I had a pretty decent network initially, but to try and improve the signal strength after Reolink gave the initial answer on my network I bought some powerline extenders which really improved my signal. That…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Expandable
