REOLINK5MP Wireless Security Camera Outdoor, 2K+ Spotlight Color Night Vision Indoor, Solar/Battery Powered, Human/Car/Animal Detection Surveillance, 2.4G/5GHz WiFi, Home Hub Compatible, Argus 3 Pro

Update:Reolink customer service reached out due to this post. They reach out to make things better. I have yet seen a company reached out to a consumer just to make things better without asking to change the post. THEY DIDNT ASK TO REDO THIS POST. This type of customer service is what keeps customers.Original:Video quality is good and integration with the app is easy and simple. However one of the camera came with a broke speaker. You can hear through the camera, but you cannot talk out of the camera. I will place that camera where I don’t need to talk back to anyone but I wish it was working.

So I have cheaper Camaras currently and they just miss some motion due to the delay in turning on so it's gotten pointless. I tried the tapo Camara by tp link (C425) but it wouldn't stay connected to the Internet. I spent hours trying to get it to work and then returned them. The reolink Argus 3 Pro was just as easy if not easier to setup and is always connected. I've had it for over 24 hours and have put it through some testing.You will need an SD card to see time stamps and footage without paying for a plan. I like that I don't have to pay for this feature. The timers still turn the Camara on when there is motion, but it won't alert you. The Camara not only picks up motion, but sound which I really like. It hasn't disconnected once on me. The alert is delayed a few seconds, but the recording is not. It starts recording before I get the alert. Battery seems fine. I put it through quite the day with testing and messing with settings and drained the battery maybe 12%, but that was with a whole day of checking on it and messing with it. The app isn't as good as tp links, but gets the job done. I think there is room for improvement in this area, but it's not bad at all. Overall, it's better than my zumimall cameras and better than the tapo ones. I just ordered two more because this thing is sweet! Hopefully I don't have to charge it every week or I may buy the solar panel for the outside ones.Edit: I'm adding screenshot of the battery life for all 3 Camara's. One is in my sons room, one at the front door, and one in my back yard. This will alow you to see how many minutes it spent on and recording and where the life is now. I have all the Camara's on the high resolution setting. I am placing my sons Camara on the charger now that it's below 20%. Front door and backyard are fine, even through the heavy use during the break my kids had.

Let’s start off with the good things about this camera.1. Great mounts included to put this cameras just about anywhere (Magnetic Bracket, Security Bracket, Strap and stand bracket).2. 5ghz wireless, bigger battery and AI detection with fast motion alerts with a delay of around 3-4 seconds when detecting a human/vehicle up to 40ft over the standard Argus 3.3. True 2K/4MP video quality when you switch the resolution to “High” and it can zoom about 16X and also has a clip feature where you can focus on a specific area while in live view.Now let’s talk about the features that need to be improved on that make it or break it for some people:1. No motion zones, to block out certain areas in frame. It does has masking but that blocks your view of that area. Has one, why not both? PLEASE add motion zones.2. Most things happen in the night, but at night the frame rate downgrades to about 8-15 frames per second. PLEASE fix this!3. Alexa integration needs work. Tested on Echo Show 8 and it took about 16-18 seconds to load the feed and the camera is delayed by the same amount of seconds. Pretty much useless. PLEASE improve on this.Other things reviewed:1. Spotlight is pretty bright, compared to the Eufy 2C Pro and other models2. Setup is quick and easy by simply scanning the QR code on the camera3. Audio for siren and two way talk (delayed 3-4 seconds) isn’t the greatest because the speaker is behind the camera perhaps moving it to the bottom or top would improve the audio.4. Time lapse feature drains battery quickly, but the solar panel works well to charge the battery.5. Adding a base station for local storage would be great, because if the camera is stolen all footage is lost.All in all, this a great camera that’s needs some improvements and is missing motion zones to be the best battery powered camera in market.UPDATE 5/5/21:1. Still NO motion zones2. Frame rate at night was updated to 15fps. Thank you!3. Alexa Integration still needs improvement.
