REOLINK First 4K Solar Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, Argus PT Ultra+Solar Panel, 360° Pan Tilt Auto-Tracking, 8MP Color Night Vision, 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6, No Subscriptions, Home Hub Compatible

One of the only solar powered - wifi camera that with the Reolink Hub you can do RTSP. This is a must if you want to use your choice of security camera apps. Camera video is great. The night time/low-light capture is very good. The solar cell is awesome. The mounting and connecting the solar cell can be challenging, but nothing most users could figure out. Ther Reolink app is very feature rich. It sometimes is frustrating to find a particular setting.

My first Reolink purchase. Got it for my barn, which has Starlink WiFi. My horse is having a baby any day and I can check on her from my bed at night, Or anytime, anywhere .( If I’m at the grocery store). It was worth the purchase and I’ve had no issues. I can check the battery power as well. Its been pretty cloudy here and I’ve taken it down once to recharge the batteries due to lack of sunshine. I can manually record/ video the screen and save it to my phone. It does NOT have a live stream save, Like I can’t go back and see what happened at a certain time. I believe it has a slot for s/d card tho, so that would work. This also has an option of SIM card instead of WiFi I believe. It has motion detection notifications, a speaker, great night vision, a flashlight, camera can swivel,(which I can run from my phone if my horse is out of view. I can turn it to see my yard as well. ) No complaints!! I can run it easily once I figured it out and I’m not technically inclined.

First off, in order to make this camera in any way reasonably useful, you've got to buy their Home Hub or Home Hub Pro, an additional purchase that they don't tell you upfront is kinda sorta necessary for this camera to work as intended and advertised, even if you have your own NVR setup. Using it in standalone mode with any other NVR is terribly unreliable. So, I ended up buying the damn Home Hub, too, creating a second redundant NVR on my network for no good reason. Second, their claims of four-month battery life is if the camera never does a damn thing ever. The puny-ass 5-watt solar panel they include with the camera is worthless and cannot sustain the camera for 24-hour operation with even the lightest of usage settings in anything other than the blaring hot sun of an 18-hour desert day. I've had this camera installed for two weeks now; it dies every evening by 8pm, and doesn't power back on again until nearly noon the next day, despite getting 6+ hours of direct TEXAS sun every day! I've watched the battery levels drop while the sun was blaring directly at the panel. It's absurd that they thought this panel was enough, combined with the sneaky hub requirements, and I feel scammed. In testing, and then finally getting around to installing this camera, I've elapsed my 30 day return window. So I'm stuck with it. My options are to run a power cable all the way out to the camera (defeating the damned point of a solar powered camera), or install a larger solar panel, which Reolink will happily sell me for an upcharge. I should have just installed another POE camera and been done with it. I'll never buy another one of Reolink's wireless products again. I've been a customer for years, and their wired products are excellent. Avoid this wireless garbage; it's a rabbit hole of upsells and pure disappointment.

I purchased this camera to replace one of my Blink cameras. Love the ability to pan and tilt, also the auto tracking with lighting. Ensure you fully charge the camera prior to installing. Go through the all the camera settings to set them the way you want them. Some I left on the manufacturer settings, some I changed. Good quality pictures and videos. One issue, small as it is - the screws for the solar mount, when mounting separately from the camera, are small in diameter and suck going into wood. I used a more reliable brand. I use the siren to scar off the raccoons and skunks before letting the dog out.

The PT Ultra is a Great improvement over the PT, we have 50 of these cameras in our Family (3 Homes and Shops) and have only had two failures out of 50. They are easy to set up, have Great Battery life, clear pictures. We wait to buy them on Sale usually around 15% off. The only negitive is you have to buy the NVR and Cameras that will work with the NVR to monitor them 24/7 as these cameras will go off to save on the Battery after about a minute or two and you have to reload them to monitor them even if you run a wall wart to run them instead of the solar panel. Also you have to remember wirless cameras are slower to pickup moving objects, nature of the beast. We set them up around our 5 acres with wireless extenders for our routers and they work Great for us.

Set this up about six months ago and it has been a reliable outdoor camera. The solar panel keeps the battery topped up even during shorter winter days in my area, which was the main thing I was worried about before buying. The RTSP support through the Reolink Hub is a huge plus if you want to integrate with Home Assistant or a third-party NVR. Video quality is genuinely good and night vision is solid. The PTZ auto tracking works after you learn the settings. My only complaint is the app UI is a bit busy, but the camera hardware itself is excellent.

We currently have 6 cameras on our property. We like the ease of use and functioning of the cameras. I like to be able to look on my phone while at work and see if I have a delivery at my gate or if an animal got out. I have had these since 2019 or 2020 (a while), so I feel I can give a honest review. Setting up these cameras into your mobile device or computer can be kind of a pain, but once you have them set up, they are great! The vidoes are of good quality, and you can change the settings to be clear. Night videos can be a little harder to see clearly, if there is an animal running across the camera area it will sometimes come in like a blur. (I have 4 German shorthaired pointers that tend to do zoomies in the back yard area). We have 8 acres that we have cameras throughout. We did install a wifi extender so all cameras could be reached. I have had delivery people show up at my gate and I was able to communicate with them from work through the camera's, there is a lag, but not bad. (I will also talk to my dogs when I am at work as well, they don't care for that! LOL) The biggest problem I have had with these cameras have been battery life. It seems that after 2 years of service, the batteries tend to not hold charges. (There is a 2 year warranty, usually on them) Also, during cold weather, they tend to not want to charge via solar nor power cord. Their customer support is one thing that keeps me buying these camera's. They have been more than generous with problem cameras at all ages. They will communicate with me until I am satisfied with the outcome.

Updated review: While basic camera review remains the same - wasn't performing up to my expectations, I will add that Reolink saw the negative review and contacted and has worked with me to replace the camera and get it working well enough. I did have to pay to return the RMA. Even with the new camera I still experience quite a bit of clipped events. For instance, a vehicle drives by, and the motion is detected but the recording only shows the last 6-7 seconds. Since the replacement camera supplied was an Atlas, I'm going to suggest that this problem might be more related to the NVR software than the cameras themselves - or there is a more general flaw. - The other point of the camera taking in water - I haven't seen that again. In general these cameras are high quality but there are some glitches. If the cameras just captured events from beginning to end, then they'd be 5 stars. Original review (2 stars): I have other Reolink cameras and NVR, so I have some comparisons. I added this to an existing POE system. Generally the features of this camera read well, but in practice it didn't work very well. 1 out of 10 motion detected were actually saved to the NVR, the majority it just recorded a black/no video for the length of the motion event. When it did record the quality is sub par compared to my 12MP cameras. I did not add an SD card (as the NVR should record the videos). However, not recording the motion events made it pretty useless, and then 90 days after install had a big rain - and so much for IP64 - it's now just a broken non functional waterlogged paperweight that looks like a camera.

充電器で充電できず、不良品かあ、と思ったのですが、で返品しようとしましたが、他にも充電できていないというレビューを見て、もしかして充電器の問題？と。 そういえば、試したのは全てTypeC-TypeCのPDタイプだったことに気づき、試しにTypeA-TypeCの充電器を使ったら、充電が始まりました。 充電器でうまくいかない方、TypeA-TypeCのものでも試してみてください。 まだ初期設定段階なので、一旦、星３つです。 追記 1週間ほど使っています。 画質は綺麗で、夜間もしっかり映ります。 自動点灯するLEDライトがかなり明るいので、防犯効果も高そうに思います。 microSDに記録しますが、同時にftpサーバーにもアップロードできるので、自宅のNASにもアップロードするように設定しました。 別途、クラウドサービスを申し込む必要がなくこれができるのは、私的にはかなりメリットです。 ということで、星5つ評価にさせていただきました。

Easy to set up, and great picture quality

ソーラーパネルの方向で充電能力がかなり変わります。取り付け当初、適当にソーラーパネルの方向を設定、毎日-10%程度づつ充電容量が減っていきました。その後、モバイルバッテリーで再充電し、正午頃に太陽の方向に向けるようセット。小雨の日中でも充電100%維持するようになった。ソーラーパネルに落とす手すりの日陰の有無や方向でソーラーの性能が激変します。 Pros ソーラーパネルの方向を正午頃に太陽の方向に向けるようセットすれば薄曇り小雨の日中でも充電100%維持。 Cons 撮影角度はPTZ機能リモコンで変えられるが、ズーム機能がない。

Took me a while to get it to connect to my wifi (2days), but once connected has not missed a beat, I find app easy to use, only got 1 cam atmo. Battery appears strong solar panel is keeping it topped up easily. It accepted the Samsung microsd card no problems. So all told I'm happy with it

The idea of a solar-powered camera is great in theory, but the execution is deeply flawed. It’s extremely misleading to hide the fact that the solar panel only works at temperatures of 0°C or above. For a product marketed to Canadian customers, where winter temperatures often drop well below zero, this limitation renders the solar feature almost useless for a significant portion of the year. Even on sunny days, if the temperature is below 0°C, the battery won’t charge regardless of how much sunlight the solar panel receives. This is a major oversight for a product intended for outdoor use in colder climates. Expecting users to take down the camera from its mounted height during winter, manually charge it via DC, and reinstall it is both impractical and frustrating. This completely defeats the purpose of having a “low-maintenance” solar-powered camera. If you’re looking for a reliable year-round solution for colder climates, I’d recommend steering clear of this product.
