Reviews around panel (4.64 of 5)

  • The solar panel works to keep it charged, other wise all the negative reviews are very accurate, waste of money.
  • However, the solar panel works great with it, so if I could get a camera that works this would be a 5 star product for sure.
  • The solar panel appeared to work well and began charging my camera immediately and it has a very long cable to accommodate mounting options
  • Inexpensive optional solar panel availabileBlink XT has better:1
  • The solar panel is working well and began charging my camera immediately

Reviews around picture (4.48 of 5)

  • When it does, the picture is great, night vision is great
  • The camera itself seems good -- picture is clear (although a little fish-eyed)
  • a while I have trouble connecting to it to check setting and such, but I’m happy with it since putting in 64gb sad card, just wish you could connect it to rest of Reolink NVR system, didn’t find out till after research, has to do with it be battery operated, the solar keeps it cabbages so far, and speaker is’t loud enough for two way conversation
  • The picture at night is really good as well, much better than say, the Blink XT
  • This worked great for a couple of weeks, but now there is a blur forming on the side of the camera which obscures the picture

  • The fact is that it has many great features for the price.
  • I really wanted to like these cameras as they had some exceptional features and quality, but the app makes the whole system a giant waste of money and time.
  • and it still is due to some cool features but it is not by a lot

Reviews around wifi (4.10 of 5)

  • Hopefully this continues to work, but its weird that the camera while being connected to the strong WiFi signal, and 4 bars of 4g cannot handle 1080p while my C1 can handle 2560*1440 resolution with no problems
  • Very bad wifi connection just outside my front door when on 1080p (10-15 feet away from router) which results in freezing and unreliable capability of video streem
  • This system with solar is the best wifi camera system I have used
  • If you expected to access the camera consistently I would not recommend this camera unless you have excellent long throw wifi on the exterior of your home
  • We have excellent wifi going to each thanks to an extender, so signal strength is not the issue

Reviews around app (3.82 of 5)

  • Motion detection has been very reliable as well and the app is very easy to use.
  • I really wanted to like these cameras as they had some exceptional features and quality, but the app makes the whole system a giant waste of money and time.
  • Reolink app would not work on my older Apple cell phone because it could not read QR, but worked well on my wife's new Apple cell phone.
  • Some cameras just don't have the quality that you'd expect and others have exceptional cameras, but the apps are lacking horribly and sometimes both the camera and app render the entire system useless
  • I'm currently on the fence as to whether or not I will be keeping these cameras, I can get over the app not pushing notifications for now because I know other apps are having issues with Android P but the PIR sensor is pretty much useless

Reviews around quality (3.79 of 5)

  • The camera pretty straight forward to set up, once up the picture has great quality.
  • I found out if you use your speakerphone on your phone it has a lot of interference but if you disable the speaker and go through your phone the quality is excellent
  • Great battery life, great video quality and an ease to install
  • The picture is clear, they are relatively easy to setup, and the build quality is great.
  • Using a wifi analyzer app on my phone, I get 100% strength from my 2.4 band (where I have the camera located), but if I use the "Clear" video setting on the Argus 2, I constantly get a message that says I have poor network quality and I should switch to "Fluent"

Reviews around alarm (1.87 of 5)

  • The alarm is extremely quiet which is rather disappointing
  • It hasnt really given me any "false alarms" from shadows or anything
  • There is also an audible alarm that you can set to go off during a motion event if you like
  • I was getting probably 10-20 false alarms per day even on low sensitivity
  • There are no alert zones or face recognition to reduce false alarms from branches moving, a shadow from the sun or regular visitors

  • Yesterday the camera lost its configurations and asked to be re-paired with my phone
  • Then after a few minutes, it lost the configuration and I had to go through the whole process again
  • The image is very clear in the day as well as at night

Reviews around time (1.36 of 5)

  • The camera seems to only be useful for real time viewing and even that is limited when it times out fairly quickly.
  • Wasting my time trying to figure out why it is so flaky.
  • I contacted tech support several times but this is just the way it is with this model
  • But further out, I can see law enforcement will have a hard time getting a good id of a thief from it.
  • I've had a really hard time setting it up where I can get good use of the PIR sensor.

Reviews around motion (1.00 of 5)

  • But the deal breaker is poor motion sensitivity recording.

  • It misses motion completely at times and when it does capture video, it’s usually the tail end of the
  • I use this along with multiple motion flood lights and dust to dawn lights around the outside of house to discourage unauthorized persons approaching and so far working well
