Reolink Argus webcam review

A wireless security camera which is dead easy to set up

Choose between 720p and Full HD quality ; Truly wireless for flexible placement ; Inconspicuous design with neat magnetic wall bracket ; Easy voice-prompted setup procedure

Limited battery life ; No Ethernet, or power inputs ; No cloud storage facility (yet) ; Difficulty streaming 1080p video smoothly

If you’re looking for a truly wireless IP camera that doesn’t mind the rain and won’t break the bank, then Reolink’s battery-powered device is an impressive 1080p-capable solution.

At £99, the Reolink Argus is one of the cheapest smart cameras available - but that doesn't make it bad. Here's our Reolink Argus review.

If you’re looking for a versatile security camera, the Argus is for you: it’s completely wire-free, can be used indoors and outdoors, and features an easy to use magnetic hinge for angle adjustment.

Reolink Argus review

Reolink's Argus won't be right for everyone, but this $100 DIY security camera does fill a niche: it's affordable, battery-powered and weatherproof. The versatility of a cord-free camera means the Argus can go anywhere within range of your Wi-Fi...

The indoor/outdoor Reolink Argus Security Camera is powered by four CR123A batteries, costs just $100, sends prompt motion alerts and has a microSD card slot for local storage.

It doesn't currently support cloud storage, smart home integrations, motion detection zones or any other advanced features. CR123A's are expensive and difficult to find.

Reolink's Argus may have a funny name, but this simple, affordable outdoor cam does a pretty good job protecting your yard.

Reolink Argus

The Reolink Argus is an affordable indoor/outdoor security camera that is completely wireless.

Reasonably priced. Weatherproof. Easy to install. Motion detection. Local storage.

Does not work with other smart home devices. Does not support IFTTT or voice commands. No sound detection. SD Card not included.

The Reolink Argus is a versatile home security camera that can be used indoors or outdoors, and because it's completely wireless, it installs in minutes. It provides sharp 1080p video during the day and night, and its motion sensor works as advertised....

Reolink Argus review: An adaptable and affordable home security camera

This completely wireless indoor/outdoor camera delivers just the essential security features for a modest price.

No wiring required, even for power ; Full HD video (1080p) ; Costs considerably less than other indoor/outdoor cameras

No cloud storage backup ; No advanced features, such as geofencing or smart detection zones ; Doesn't integrate with other smart-home appliances

The Reolink Argus is simple and affordable, both welcome attributes in a market where camera prices seem to be growing along with their complexity. The fact that there’s no wiring involved also makes it an attractive alternative to outdoor cameras like...
