Questions about Reolink Argus 2

Servus, Correct Cloud availability does not yet exist in Switzerland. This means that the recordings are "only" saved on the MicroSD. However, you can download the videos via Wifi / Reolink App to your mobile phone/PC. This saves having to go to the camera :). Power supply without solar panel is of course possible. As long as the output is micro USB, the camera is not very interested. In my case, a power supply unit from a defective baby monitor was used here again. Hope that helps. Many greetings

Definitely not. If the livestream runs continuously, the battery life is probably not even 24 hours. For this, you need a camera that is connected to the mains, such a battery camera is rather intended for "detection", i.e. to trigger an alarm when a person enters the area. Then it lasts 3-6 weeks, depending on how often someone is in the area or how often you call up the livestream.

Have you measured the voltage at the panel connector? If there is no voltage when the sun shines on it, then the panel is defective. You may still have a warranty

Only wifi

Yes it is included, the camera alone is 103. Comes with various mounting brackets and a very long waterproof usb cable.

I can recommend the following product to you: Toshiba Exceria M302 microSDHC U1 (16GB, Class 10) Or if you need more memory: Samsung EVO - microSDHC Card (64GB, Class 10)

That can't be right. I have just realised that the Argus 2 has a USB Micro port to power the battery, but the Argus 3 has a Type C port.

What is Smart Life for you? The app has recently been updated and can now also be connected via the cloud and with iot. But I think this refers to other products (IoT) and cloud storage. I've accumulated 12GB of data (videos) over the last 2 years and there's plenty of room for them on my 64GB card... The solar panel may also keep the battery running well in the midlands with several foggy days in a row. Never ran out of power.

Should work, it's a normal mico-USB connection. But it takes a little time for the mobile. Better or bigger would be this solar cell: 4smarts Solar Panel. I have this in use. 4smarts Solar Panel VoltSolar 5W with USB-A connection (5 W, 0.20 kg)

Try it under Settings/Display (then swipe upwards, it has more items to set further down). I don't have access to my Argus 2 at the moment, but on the Argus 3 and the Lumus there is a slider to switch the watermark on and off. Good luck!

Hello Sylvia Reset the camera as described here https://www.bedienungsanleitung24.de/frage/reolink-argus-kamera-zuruecksetzen then connect the camera according to these instructions https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/reolink-argus-kamera-einrichten-und-in-betrieb-nehmen/ A silly question, by the way, does your new Zyxel router already have wifi?

Hello Susanne How do you use the camera? Is the camera activated by a movement, does it record continuously or do you want to operate it in interval mode (e.g. one picture every minute)? I have several cameras in use in the meantime and am very satisfied with the product. When the SD memory is full, the oldest recording is overwritten, at least that's how I set it. With 2 MB per video of 15 - 30 sec. you can save many pictures. I have partly linked the cameras with the Reolink Cloud. This variant also works perfectly. Either way, I have never reached the capacity limit. The battery life is also very good. With few activated cameras, it lasts 3 months. Conclusion - 64 GB should be sufficient in motion-activated surveillance mode. For continuous operation, I recommend a cloud, NAS, etc. solution. solution. Greetings M.

Hello, access via the app or directly via the SD card? If there is nothing left on the SD card, then either the recording was not activated or the data has already been overwritten (check: is the SD card full?) In the app, you can move the month - and depending on the WLAN speed, it may take 2-3 seconds for the information to load when something was recorded. Otherwise, go back one month and then one month forward again.

Maybe delete the app and reinstall everything and only on one mobile phone.that's how I had it too😏.now reinstall everything and only on one mobile phone. As soon as I install the same camera on two phones, it doesn't work again.then I don't get any more push ups.but this way it works perfectly again.

Settings/ Film recording/ Adjust recording time by movement/ Adjust time there. Good success

No

Best to save to memory card.

PoE and WiFi cameras identify movement by comparing the two frames (before and after). If there is a difference between the two frames, the motion detection alarm is triggered. For example, false alarms caused by day/night mode shifts are inevitable due to the working principles and algorithm of motion detection. Intense movements such as rain/snowflakes, insects attracted to IR lights can also cause frequent alarms for which there may not be a good solution. To reduce false alarms, you can try these two suggestions: Determine working time: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012344054 Determine motion detection area: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013605013-How-to-Setup-Motion-Detection-Area-for-Reolink-Cameras If there is no improvement, please contact our customer service directly: https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/requests/new

Actually it says in the description

Yes, it works. There is simply no alert message on the mobile app without a Wi-Fi connection.

It is a little tricky. Please read the messages carefully and look for the buttons to confirm. I also had problems at first.

The Reolink app is available for various platforms, also for Mac and iOS, in each case from version 8.0. See https://reolink.com/software-and-manual/
