REOLINK4K Solar Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 360° Pan Tilt, 8MP Color Night Vision, 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6, No Monthly Fee, Home Hub Compatible, Argus PT 4K+ 3W Solar Panel (Black)

I’ve been using these cameras and they are great. They have great quality, great detection, and rotate too. It’s great to cover so much of your home areas. They link up well and adding an sd card to store video, is great. No subscription cost, just buy the camera and add an sd card. The solar panel works great. I prefer this over my old Ring cameras.

Great product. Easy setup.

The camera was great, the quick start instructions were terrible.I had trouble getting it set up but I finally figured out what to do. I used the Windows app to set up the camera, and it told me to input the UID. I didn't know what this was and where to find the UID. The instructions didn't tell me. I used Microsoft Copilot AI and it told me where to find the UID; it said it would be on the bottom of the camera and that the UID code would start with 9527, and sure enough it was there. Again no mention of this in the instructions or on the app.Another problem was that the device failed to connect to the wifi. So this required pushing a reset button with a special tool, that resembles a needle with plastic handle on the end, that you insert into a hole on the camera to do this. It took a bit of handling and moving the camera around on it's base to locate the hole.The instructions mentioned very little of this, but there were diagrams showing the parts included and one showing where things were on the camera body.After pushing the reset button I was finally able to get it to connect to my wifi, and it can connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wifi. The windows app tells you to enter the information for the wifi, but the field for the SSID of the network didn't specifiy that it wanted the SSID, it just said WiFi and then password below it. So once I entered ther SSID (which is the name of the wifi network) and the passcode, it connected ok.I noticed an item on the app called calibration and that adjusted the orientation of the camera and did some other calibration steps moving the camera to it's limits in pan and tilt.So apart from the quick start instructions being poor, the camera does work very well, and the picture quality is excellent. Given the low cost for such a high quality piece of tech, it's an outstanding value. The app controls the camera very well in pan and tilt. To zoom in or out, you use the scroll wheel on the mouse. When zoomed in on something, you can move the zoomed in area around using the mouse. If you double click the image in the app, it will go to a screen that can show multiple cameras at the same time. So if I decide to add more cameras later, I can view them all in one place at the same time, or cycle through each camera sequentially.Many brands of security cameras require an internet connection in order to work, and I find that extremely limiting especially when my internet connection goes out. Also those brands that require an internet connection tend take a lot longer to connect to the camera. The Reolink cameras can connect to the Reolink web site, but this is optional and not required to use the camera. Consequently, the Reolink camera connects very quickly like in about one second or less.If it wasn't for the poor startup instructions I would give this camera 5 stars easily. It's a great buy. If you decide to get one, hopefully my comments here will help you get started with it.

These outdoor solar powered wireless security cameras are Great. These cameras are a bit different when it comes to some of the other solar powered wireless security cameras as they will work on both wireless networks of 2.4 and 5GHZ wireless bands which helps a lot with the triggers and distance if you have them a little bit away from your router. They get really good picture quality video quality is phenomenal, has great motion detection night vision is really Great. Once they are charged up and then mounted the solar panel keeps them charged real well. The other security cameras that I have dropped about 3% one time during a really bad storm as it was really dark, then these did not drop any battery percentage they stated 100% at all times during the day when the storm was going and the sun wasn't out as well as at night time when it was extremely dark as the storm was passing on. I have them mounted at a pretty decent distance from my router as my house is fairly old there's only one Network location in my home and it is in my bedroom which is in the back of the house these cameras are all the way in the front and they are constantly getting 100% wireless connection. They are tried and true weatherproofed we had a pretty good snowstorm / ice storm not long after I got them where we got about 8 in of snow and about 2 inches of ice. They have some really good settings for the motion you can block out areas that you do not want the motion to trigger a recording, you can rotate the cameras however you want them to get some really good angles anywhere you need them in your yard or wherever you decide to mount them. Good night vision is really good, they have people and animal detection you can set it to where they will not trigger false recordings if you have children that play in the backyard and the cameras are there or a dog that you don't want to trigger a false event as well, among several other settings which are great. I use SD cards in the cameras that I have they will take up to a 128 GB SD card. Or you can use their cloud service of course you have to pay extra for so I opted out of that. It can rewrite over the SD cards once they get full. Or you can format them yourselves directly from the app for The cameras.
