In my experience with many of their cameras over the last few years, Reolink rarely disappoints in quality, reliability and value. Their NVRs are also very good, I've had one running 24/7 with 4 cameras attached to it since early 2020. Uninterrupted surveillance 365 days a year and zero issues so far.

@LifeHackster 10 ай бұрын

I agree. Their NVR and wired IP cameras have been working reliably ever since I have been using them.

@rahatrahman8664 2 ай бұрын

which one are you using but it doesn’t have rich notifications 😢

@SevenSixTwo2012 2 ай бұрын

@@rahatrahman8664 I use an old model NVR (8 channel) with a mix of 2k and 4k Reolink cameras, most of them wired and one wireless. The NVR is the "primary" 24/7 surveillance system that captures everything and cannot be scrambled via wifi scramblers (thanks to the wired cams). For rich notifications and AI human detection, I use a variety of Eufy cameras as a parallel / backup system to the Reolink (doorbell, wired wall cams + wireless wall cams). They are not as reliable to capture EVERYTHING like the Reolink, but they are very good at detecting humans and send you a notification instantly, plus have alarms and two way audio. When you combine both systems, you have yourself a perfect home monitoring setup! 🙂

I love these cameras. They are great budget cameras for persons that wants security ,but do not have the funds. They can fit in blind spots around the house and also serves as great backup for a POE system in the event power goes.

I've had the Argus 3 pros for a few years now and they are still running strong. Notice something weird though, one them suck at detecting motion within 25 feet like a person or car but for some reason does wonderful at detecting speeding cars 300ft away. The one thing I was though is for someone to get Reolink to include thumbnail photos with the push notifications.

I've always loved the quality that Reolink puts out w/ it's cameras but I just couldn't get with the app interface in the past but maybe they have improved it since a few yrs ago? It also required me to get an wifi extender where my Arlo & Eufy products didn't require that & they both had easier to use apps IMO. Nice review.

Night vision and audio is top notch ! 15 fps works but they can do better... I like to see it mounted on the front of your home with cars and people coming by with solar panel and see how the battery drains with solar. over all it blows away blink newest door stop and wyzes pro fisher price camera.

Thanks for the review. Going to pick up a reolink and eufy to see which i like better. Eagerly awaiting your review of the new eufy e340 doorbell cam. Not sure what the difference from the s330 is other than color night vision and removable battery im guessing? Wondering if there is any hardware/software improvements.

@battletv777 10 ай бұрын

Will reply later but think it's call Dazzer 2 and also Ultasonic . It's a device that's hand held but look around compare reviews on similar products. You have to ensure that any device has to have clear view of the dog's yard. With Dazzer if dogs on other side of fence your on works like a charm.

They are ok... they tend to bark when they are outside and when we are near the fence...Aside from that, they are fine.

Does Reolink offer any solar panel? And does this wireless camera support 24/7 recording?

@@khadijamoya I highly doubt it supports 24x7 recording unless maybe when plugged in. The battery would need to be recharged daily otherwise.

@PatrickC139 10 ай бұрын

as a user of the Argus 3 Pros, i can see with their PIR sensor, it didn't improve much with motion going right at the camera Lol. I know PIR is made mostly for side to side movement but dang, that's been one of the big weaknesses of the argus Pro Series. Still think its a good option for those that want a battery camera with 4k.

Hi friend, been watching your videos for a while, incredible stuff. I just recently set up a 7-camera Reolink POE system in my home and was told through a Facebook group that it was possible to add any WIFI camera to record/view on my NVR. I'm looking to add a few of these down at my chicken coop to monitor my wife's expensive silkies but curious if it would be possible to view this in the NVR/have it record to that storage? Thanks my friend!

Too much limitation of PIR no matter how much they improve image quality or smart detection features. They just cannot detect as well as wired version. I was disappointed with Argus 3 pro and returned. so I don't have nuch of expectation from Argus 3 Ultra either. Good review though, as usual!

So I installed mine today and there is no cloud support for the Ultra model, and I am consistently having an issue where I can only view a live stream when my phone is connected to cellular data. If I connect my phone to my local wifi, I get a failed connection on the stream. You would think that would actually be the opposite.

@ivanbaggett3303 10 ай бұрын

Suggestion: it might be your wifi router. I have a Reolink Duo 2 and my gf has 2 of them. My Duo has no problems with wifi but my signal is strong. My gf's Duos both have weak wifi and have dropout, but I think it's because her wifi router overheats. It's a Xfinity XB8, which is notorious for overheating. She had a XB7 before, which also overheated. The Reolink cameras use a lot of wifi bandwidth because they are hi resolution, and some wifi routers may not be able to handle it.
