Set up is easy
What a lovely camera. I was nervous about setting it up. It's easy though. Just put its aerial on, put it next to the router. Type in the router password. And bingo all good. It seems very good and a nice app. The solar panel does okay if pointed south. You have to charge the internal battery first with a phone charger. This takes a day as it's a big battery, then plug in the solar panel and it's okay. The battery will last a week and takes 2 sunny days to charge up again from empty. The solar trickle charges it in dull weather and seems to keep it topped up. We are in uk facing South. You may like to reset the sensitivity in the app. As you can see, it's barely noticeable from the pavement.

Do they work and are they waterproof?
These are great units, easy to install, the solar panel keeps enough charge even in the U.K. Design of the bracket could be better, to keep the power wire dry under the bracket ‘canopy’ means a very tight squeeze on the antenna but with care it possible. I’m not sure this connection would prove all that resilient if exposed directly to the rain etc.The wireless range is good but not brilliant, they need a decent bandwidth to view live via the Reolink app which in itself is very good, very easy to navigate and also initialise the cameras on arrival. It’s also very easy to share the cameras to multiple devices. I found fitting an outdoor internet booster improved reliability hugely but for viewing purposes you are at the mercy of your internet provider. The picture quality is high, and so far none of these have failed, I’ve have four running now, the oldest for well over a year. Great product, does the job. I noticed the latest model has improved weather proofing to the solar input cable but I would still be sure to make sure this connection is orientated to be under the bracket. The sensitivity is widely adjustable so false alarms can be swiftly avoided once you have it up and running and slowly reduce sensitivity.For the money they’re hard to beat.

Great camera but battery not up to high trigger areas (still a brilliant buy)
The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Reolink Argus PT 4MP Outdoor Wireless Security Camera with the accompanying solar panel, and overall, I am quite pleased with my purchase. The camera boasts impressive image quality, capturing clear and crisp footage day and night. The ability to monitor my outdoor spaces with such clarity brings a great sense of security and peace of mind.One of the best features of this camera is its excellent movement trigger. It's highly responsive to any motion in its field of view, ensuring that I never miss a moment. This is especially important for security purposes, and the Argus PT delivers admirably in this regard.Mounting the camera was a pretty easy, thanks to its easy-to-use mounting system. It allowed for flexible placement options, ensuring I could find the perfect angle to cover my desired areas and the camera can be moved from the app. Additionally, the fun options like time-lapse provide an enjoyable way to review long periods of footage in a condensed and engaging manner, I have attached an example of this (taken through a bot of a dirty window).The solar panel is a thoughtful addition that promises to keep the camera charged sustainably. While it works well in areas with moderate movement triggering, I did encounter an issue with the battery life in height trigger areas. Despite the solar panel, the battery didn't stay charged as effectively as I had hoped, which was a bit disappointing. In these specific locations, I found myself having to manually recharge the battery more frequently than expected.Despite the minor hiccup with the battery life, I still find the Reolink Argus PT 4MP Outdoor Wireless Security Camera to be a reliable and valuable addition to my home security setup. The image quality and movement trigger are top-notch, and the convenience of the solar panel, though not flawless, is a step towards eco-friendliness. With a few tweaks to improve battery performance, this camera would undoubtedly earn a perfect score from me. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality outdoor security camera with excellent features and easy setup.

Fantastic Camera For The Money
I’ve had this camera for around a month now and I must say it is fantastic value for money given I got it on sale for just under £120. I used to have much smaller Argus wireless camera, which was more discrete than the solar power unit but I just got tired of having to take it down to recharge it. The day and night camera quality is fantastic and I don’t even need to use the outdoor security light to get good night time clarity. The ability to rotate the camera vertically and horizontally is an added bonus. The solar power unit works great and there battery still maintains 100% charge after a month. the WiFi strength also works great for me and I have no issues with live streaming or using the highest camera setting. I would definitely recommend buying this product - though I do appreciate that it cannot be guaranteed that the camera will work as well for you as it does for me.

Easy to install
I don’t write many reviews but I really wanted to share my experience with anyone looking to buying this product. It is fantastic, really easy to install the product is of good quality and I think is great value. The manual is easy to use and if you need it you can go to the manufacturers website and get additional information. Once it was installed the rest of the set up was straight forward. The router is nearly 20 meters away in another building and it still works perfectly well. I have it installed on my laptop at home and my phone, the notifications come through when they should my only negative comment would be that there is a time delay between receiving the notification and being able to log in to view but the play back mode sorts this out. The only thing I would have liked which it doesn’t do is motion tracking but I have no hesitation in recommending this great product.
