Reolink Argus 3 Pro+SP

Over the last few years, I've purchased 4 of these cameras, all Reolink. I do really like the clarity of the images, and these cameras' durability. I have an older one (2MP), and have since gotten more 3 of these upgraded versions. They have improved, however, as with most security cameras, they don't pick up the recordings as fast as they should. After dark (or even in the daytime), when motion is detected, the camera's security light comes on (at night only) instantly, but the recording doesn't start until a second or 2 afterwards (day and night). By that time, the object has moved out of frame. This is an issue with many security cameras, but, from some of the others I've tried, and for the price, this is the best I've found. The solar panels make these completely standalone and electrical wire-free, as well as worry free too. I like the immersive option on the APP, that lets me see all 4 camera images on a single frame on my phone. Setup is fairly easy, but even easier if you're adding to an existing setup. Initially, on my first setup, I had to lower a security option on my router setting to get these to work outside of my home Wi-Fi (I noted the setting in a previous review for the older 2MP model, but can't remember which option it was, I will try to find it, and add it later to this review). Once that option setting was set to a lower level, I was able to see the camera's views wherever I was when away from home. If the router setting was set to high, I could only see the camera views from my home Wi-Fi, which is not ideal when away from home. Overall, I think these are very good cameras for the price. They come with multiple ways to mount them too. If they correct the record on detection issue to make it faster to begin recording, I'd give them a 6 star review.

So far we have been really pleased with the overall performance and features of this camera for the price. Having the added benefit of "Pet Detection" included in the software support for this model makes a huge difference when compared to other models and brands that do not provide this additional specific tier of detection capability. But the place these Riolink products really shine is in the Riolink control software. Available for free on every major mobile platform both iOS and Android in addition to dedicated "Desktop" clients not just for Windows PCs, but for MacOS as well, is a refreshing change from the usual generic garbage we tend to see out there these days when it comes to smart phone based apps and the extremely rare desktop version! While I can run the iPad iOS app for Riolink cameras on my MacBook Pro M1, the dedicated Mac Client takes the camera management, video downloading and real time viewing of our entire camera network to a whole other level! In addition to this Argus 3 Pro Solar, we also own a second Argus 3 Pro, an Argus PT, two Wired/AC Powered TrackMix Multi-Lens cameras along with the newest TrackMix Solar powered version which is arriving next week. The primary reason we have gone "All In" with a Riolink camera network is the quality of this FREE dedicated MacOS control software client! Being able to view our various camera feeds live or watch their videos on the MacBook Pro M1's 6k XDR display puts the monitoring and reviewing process on an entirely different planet in terms of performance and visual quality compared to what you normally would experience using an iPhone, iPad, Android device of a Windows PC. The fact that Riolink recognizes the advantages of the Macintosh platform when working with video and supports the platform as well as they are doing here speaks volumes, and it certainly earned them the proceeds of our entire security camera budget and then some! Regardless of what device/platform you plan to run your security camera network from, the Riolink hardware is well made and easy to work with. If you are a Mac user/owner, then the decision to go for a Riolink network is a total no brainer!

For the money I think RIO Link is the best value on the market for wireless cameras. The ability to record an automatic custom voice has worked well to send door-to-door salesmen away every time. One time I saw a young teenage in sunglass run away as soon as they heard the recorded voice. I have successfully installed 9 of the Argus cameras at my house and my sister’s house relatively easily; however, this updated version of the Argus 3 camera with 2.4/5.4 GHz dual band, did not work on my Verizon 5G Home Internet. I spent 4 hours reading troubleshooting guides and making modifications to my router. After 30+ attempts I gave up. It did work instantly on my son’s cable network, so I decided to give to him instead of returning it because his Argus 2e had recently stopped working after a big rainstorm. It works great for him. I purchased this new Argus 3 unit to replace a three-year-old legacy unit that finally stopped working. I tried everything to get the new unit to work. I attempted hooking It up to Self-Organizing Networks (SON) countless times (I did most of my attempts 3-4 feet from the router). I also spit my network into two separate SSIDs (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and tried each band separately many, many time and it never work. As recommended by the trouble shooting guides, I also made sure I was using the correct WEP security settings (no success again). It could be there is an issue with Verizon 5G home network and the dual ban version of newer Argus cameras. Note I do have 18 smart home devices hooked up to my network (some are 5GHz other are 2.4GHz). I was able to find the older 2.4GHZ Argus for this exact model on Amazon and just received it. I hooked up the older model in less than 3 minutes! All of my older 2.4 GHZ Argus cameras are working perfectly on my current Verizon network. I strongly recommend these cameras. The only thing I would suggest is that if you happen to have Verizon 5G home internet, be sure to set it up as soon as possible to remain within the return window. I know this camera works as my son had zero problems with his network. Also be sure to purchase a new Micro SD card as it seems to be required to set up the newer model Rio Link cameras.

Really great security camera for the function and price. Love the fact that it can be installed without any need for wires for the pwer - it is SOLAR so really nice! Video playback is also a breeze.

I’m extremely impressed with the REOLINK Wireless Security Camera! Setting it up was incredibly easy – the app guided me through the entire process, and I had the camera up and running in less than 15 minutes. The wireless feature is a huge plus, as I didn’t have to worry about running any cables or drilling holes in my walls. The image quality is fantastic, even at night. The night vision is clear, and I can make out details like faces and license plates with ease. The 1080p HD resolution provides crisp, sharp footage, which is exactly what I wanted for monitoring my front door and yard. The motion detection feature works well, sending real-time alerts to my phone whenever it picks up movement. It’s great for peace of mind, knowing that I’m notified if anything unusual happens around my property. Plus, the camera has two-way audio, so I can hear what’s going on and speak to anyone at my door if needed. The battery life has been impressive too. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and I haven’t needed to recharge it yet. The weatherproof design means it works well even in rain or snow, so it’s perfect for outdoor use. Overall, the REOLINK Wireless Security Camera has exceeded my expectations. It offers excellent performance, easy installation, and reliable security features at an affordable price. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a smart security solution to their home!

Great product and it was very easy to install and connect to the App, the solar power is great ! Picture is clear day and night

Marche super bien avec le solaire très contente

Easy to setup and install. Definitely get the solar panel to keep it charged. Great night vision.
