Today we are checking out a totally wireless security camera from Reolink. It the Argus 2 and has an optional solar panel. I’m super excited about this setup because it allows me to install a security camera pretty much anywhere as long as I’m in WiFi range. We’ll see what’s included, add it to the Reolink app, install it in a bunch of locations inside and out so you can get a good feel as to how this camera could work for you. I’ll show tonnes of daytime and nighttime footage, do a water test, WiFi range test and whatever else I can think of. Basically, everything you need to know to understand this camera’s flexibility, so be prepared for a lot of information!
So, you can pick these up for individually or together as a package. The camera is about $100US or as a combo for $120.
We open the camera box and check out its contents. We have a quick install guide, mounting templates, a surveillance sticker a mounting strap in case you are unable to put screws into your mounting surface, a small lanyard, a micro usb cable to wall-charge the betters, a rest pin to rest the camera back to factory defaults, a wall/ceiling mount, a protective silicon skin to protect the camera from the elements, and the camera itself.
I show all of the camera’s details, including the magnetic mount, PIR 120 degree sensor, the micro sd card slot, the mic and speaker locations and the wide angle lens. I talk about the camera’s 2MP - 1080p Starlight CMOS sensor records at 15 frames/sec, which is common for WiFi cameras to save on disk space and decrease lag.
The solar panel, is very straight forward. It comes with another window sticker, mounting template, setup guide, metal mount, screws and 4.5m (almost 15ft) cables. The connector has a water-tight seal. As you may know, the panel doesn’t power the camera but rather keeps the battery topped up and the camera uses this power bank.
I walk through the steps of adding the camera to my Reolink account on my app and then do a quick lag test. This camera can be installing in multiple places and I discuss several options and show footage.
I test the camera’s abilities in multiple locations and show daytime and nighttime footage with the IP lights on and off. I check the range of the camera’s WiFi and spray the camera with a water hose to test its weatherproofing abilities.
So, what didn’t I like about this camera? Well, not much. The PIR sensor zone is a little short. I’d like to see that at a consistent 20ft or 6m. I also found the mic picked up the slightest breeze and ruined the audio. Maybe some internal foam or material for a windscreen could help. I also found that the outdoor camera mount conveniently only had one tightening spot, it didn’t always fully secure the camera.
What did I like? It’s a stand-alone device and all you need is the camera, solar panel and a memory card. No computer or Network Video Recorder is required. I love the image quality in the day and night, the wide view point, the fact that I had next to no false alarms with the PIR sensor including changes in lighting conditions and snow falling in front of the camera. The onboard storage is prefect and connectivity was flawless. The solar panel and long battery life makes this a game changer to security cameras. Especially because it works during a power outage. It’s a perfect, very well priced, DIY solution and removes the frustrating limiting factors of running network cables up walls, across the floor or through the yard.
