(That being said, you can view the camera feeds on Reolink's desktop app, alongside PoE cameras) 7.
Therefore it doesn’t work with Reolink NVRs or NASs like Synology. While a lot of Reolink cameras can be integrated into other security systems via ONVIF & RTSP, their battery camera range cannot, which is a pity. The capacity of this is up to 128GBs which you likely will never need as you can’t record 24/7. Storage & Interoperabilityįootage can be stored on the onboard microSD card. The volume of this isn’t ridiculously loud, again probably to save on battery. There is also an alarm that you can trigger from the app, to scare away intruders.

Both a speaker and microphone are embedded in the camera and you can have a full conversation with the subject, via the Reolink app. The Argus PT 2K comes with full-duplex audio which works pretty well. The camera also does not have an integrated spotlight, so you don’t get full-color night vision. At the price point, this is not a surprise as these are premium features. The camera doesn’t have a starlight image sensor, or smart IR (which alters the brightness of the infrared bulbs to avoid image washout). The camera has 6 integrated infrared LEDs which do fully illuminate subjects close by (Up to 33ft). The infrared night vision is decent, if not spectacular on the Reolink Argus PT. The max frame rate at the 4MP resolution is 15 frames per second which could be better but again is likely a trade-off to reduce power and data consumption. It does have motion-activated recording which works well with person and vehicle detection to reduce false notifications, which can be very annoying. This is the trade-off between a fully wireless camera and investing in a camera with PoE or DC power. VideoĪs the camera is battery-powered, you don’t have the option of continuous 24/7 recording. The ~115-degree horizontal field of view is just wide enough I think. With the inbuilt pan functionality, there is no need for the camera to have an ultra-wide field of view. The camera resolution could be higher, with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 15 frames per second of video footage.
Generally speaking, the bigger the image sensor the better the night vision as there is more area to be saturated with light. The 4MP camera packs a 1/3 inch CMOS image sensor which is relatively small. Otherwise you'll have some noticeable delay when trying to adjust the camera position in the app.

Without trying to state the obvious, you will need decent Wi-Fi signal in your install location. While Wi-Fi is not as reliable as PoE / Ethernet, it should be perfectly fine for most homeowners. A lot of Wi-Fi cameras only support 2.4GHz.
On the data side, the camera supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi which is a plus. The camera has a 6000mAh rechargeable battery which should give you a couple of months' charge, depending on the number of actions and motion alters triggered. I’ve found this very useful as one grows tired of regularly maintaining the camera. That has the advantage of being extremely easy to install with the disadvantage of lacking the reliability of hard-wired cameras.įrom a power perspective, to avoid having to climb a ladder every couple of months to charge the battery, you can purchase and install an optional solar panel. It is a fully-wireless camera so no power or data cables. Power & Dataįirst up, a look at the camera's power and data.

Note: Reolink provided me with a free sample of the product for the purposes of this review. While it may be a little unfair to compare it to wired PTZ cameras, they usually cost $500+ so it’s a nice way to dip your toes into the premium camera market at a budget price! Onboard storage with no monthly subscription feesĪt the time of writing, the Reolink Argus PT 2K comes in at $125 which is a very competitive price considering the amount of tech packed into this camera.
