Result of the Reolink Argus 2 Review
The Reolink Argus 2 is an optically appealing and small surveillance camera. It comes with all kinds of accessories so that it can be put into operation quickly and easily. There is no need to lay cables at all, as it only works with rechargeable batteries and WLAN. The disadvantage is that it only transmits in the 2.4 GHz range.
A practical accessory for the Reolink Argus 2 is a solar panel. This eliminates the need to recharge the battery manually. The connecting cable is very long so that the panel can be installed in the sunniest place. The prerequisite, of course, is that it is used outdoors.
Since the small camera is intended for the normal user at home, it must be considered that it is not suitable for 24/7 surveillance. Still, she makes a great figure in everything else. It would only be desirable for the friends of home networking among us to be integrated into a Smarthome area.
