Regarding the vertical narrow field of view... I just noticed in Reolink website that the Argus 4 PRO has a 4mm lens, whereas the Argus 4 has a 2.8mm lens. This should result in a wider angle in favour of the standard model, also vertically, is that a correct assumption? I have seen a comparison between Argus 4 Pro and the duo 3 that also has a 2.8mm lens and the vertical coverage is definitely wider that the Argus 4 pro. The drawback is that it has more distortion. I bet is the same with the Argus 4 standard model but havent found any reviews for this camera yet, only for the PRO. Thanks for all the good work

LH, were you running the AP4 through the new home hub in your tests (live views and notifications) or stand alone? I am very interested in the home hub when it comes to wireless battery powered cameras as from everything I’ve read it is supposed to support live local streaming without the Internet, which is rare for battery cameras, limited on storage, unfortunately. Also wondering if it’s going to speed up motion notifications compared to many other WiFi cameras

No, this is setup by itself. I will make a separate video on the hub when I check and test it out.

Came here to see how this night vision is since I see on the website that the pro does not have any IR lights unlike the non pro and every other night vision security camera. Im pretty impressed with how good it does in low light, but it still doesnt seem as good as having real IR. I wonder if its worth going for this new Argus 4 Pro, or just go with their regular duo 3 or whatever its called. (Or i guess the non pro with IR could work too).

This is probably a dumb question but I’m new to security cameras & want to be sure I’m understanding correctly.

Not this model and also my suggestion if you can give it power, then get the Duo 3 or the Duo 2 or wait until they release a wired version of this. Wired is way better than battery powered one.

@@LifeHackster the problem is I have power run but no CAT6 so I still need WiFi. Currently I have a hardwired Arlo Ultra 2 doing 24/7 recording but it is wanting in the resolution department. Even though it’s “4k” it’s not as sharp as the Argus 4 Pro looks. I like how Arlo allowed better functionality when the normally battery powered camera is hardwired. I’m hopeful Reolink could do something similar.

I read that the 50 degrees vertical field of view is at the center of the LENS, not at the edges -- since it's two lenses stitched together, the middle of the stitched IMAGE is actually where the two ends of the lenses meet, i.e., way less than 50.

It's a shame about the vertical height, looks quite similar to Duo 3 from what I can see so that makes it a no buy from me at least.

@LifeHackster The Duo 3 only came out in February so I guess they won't replace it soon 😞

Hey. I need to ask you if you know if any other company has the customer count like hikvision has. I want to put up some dvr cameras that also tell me how many customers entered the store

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

I haven't seen or checked one out yet. Reolink should add this to their NVR line.

@sensnowy Ай бұрын

@@LifeHackster like they are going to or should add it down the line. I am looking at reolink but that feature is importantly to me to see when and how many customers enter the store and shop around with the heat map

@VastardokKukiao Ай бұрын

@@sensnowy they wont brodie, you will have to get the hikvision stuff for that. Hikvision is 1000 years ahead of reolink in every sense tbh.

@VastardokKukiao Ай бұрын

@@sensnowy they wont bro. Hikvision is way too advanced. They even have face decetction and recognition, and military grade shyt from star wars. Reolink will never catch up.

What other brand of IP cameras work with Reolink NVR?

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

Reolink recommends using their NVR only with their cameras.

@@LifeHackster Understand but is there another brand that works with Reolink NVR? Like amcrest? Just curious I wanna try another IP camera brand.

Can it connect to a reolink NVR?

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

To the Home Hub.. not the NVR.

Can the video be cropped to normal 3480 x 2160 4K size instead of the 180 degree field of view?

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

Nope. This is basically 2-2K cameras side by side meeting the 4K width requirement to say it is recording in 4K.

Oh, that's a bummer. I think I'd be better off buying a Reolink Argus 3 Ultra then. Thanks for replying!

@khamphanvongkham7701 Ай бұрын

Thank you for review this camera , I was waiting to see how good this camera ,to me I think cx 410 better and notification lots faster.

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

Definitely, wired or PoE are better than battery powered ones.

@vick6774 Ай бұрын

Is worth getting the hub? Or just the cameras

@Kaienhere Ай бұрын

The hub doesn't support hard drives, It only has two 512gb micro sd card slots so it's not worth it imo, the pro version allegedly will have hard drives but it hasn't been announced yet

@LifeHackster 23 күн бұрын

If you want more security for your footage, then the hub or the updated NVR (works with battery cams) will give you the peace of mind that is someone is able to get hold and steals your camera, you will have backup footage.

The CX ones look better with ambient lighting but they aren't battery operated.

How the hell the power jack stayed waterproof when the rubber cap is open? It seems that on the first 2 drops of water, the camera will go bye bye

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

The plug has a rubber seal and the rubber cap is out of the way when you insert it.

interesting product. pricey though. the pir detection to 40 meters is interesting as pir usually tops at 30 ft, compared to motion based poe cams up to 100 ft. one of the big disadvantages of battery cameras. i would have like to see more rigorous testing to confirm it wasnt a fluke and test beyond 40 meters, but i know you were out of yard. reolinks website doesnt advertise a longer pir range than usual, so maybe a fluke. the vertical fov issues probably make it a not buy. reolink like all the manfufactorers seem to put together a hodgepodge of good ideas, but they dont always make sense as a total product the way i'd like.

@LifeHackster Ай бұрын

Not 40 meters... 40 feet. I know the Eufy SoloCam S340 does that too... I test them 3 times but.. as PIR sensor goes, it can change in time of the day and I guess the ambient temperature.

I just got mine and I'm disappointed. I don't know if it's defective or something but mine has a massive blind spot in the middle. It just shows a split screen and they're facing off in two different directions.

In the settings -> display -> advanced -> image stitching, try adjusting it and see if it helps. It seems like you have a bad unit though.

@LifeHackster I tried that, it didn't fix the problem. I also contacted them and tried an update but still no fix.
