REOLINK ARGUS PT 1080p test, a Motorized HD HD camera, completely wireless and autonomous

New test of another camera from the excellent Reolink range.A rich range that offers more and more cameras on battery and autonomous.We know the excellent Argus Pro, this new Argus PT works on the same principle.It therefore has a battery which offers it great autonomy according to use, but also and above all, this camera is compatible with a solar panel.Equipped with the latter, the Reolink Argus PT will therefore be completely autonomous in energy.

Technical characteristics

Discovery of the camera

The Reolink PT camera is aluminum.It is therefore a camera ready to undergo temperature differences and external bad weather.

With a micro SD port for local recording of images as well as an antenna socket in order to best capture the WiFi signal.Indeed, this type of camera has the particularity of operating only in wifi.So no ethernet connector and also no possibility of feeding it in POE.

But power supply is not a problem for the latter since if you associate it with the Reolink solar panel sold separately, the battery will provide the day and night supply, taking advantage of the day to recharge automatically.

Supplied with a support allowing it to be fixed and orient it perfectly as you wish.The camera is rather discreet compared to an equivalent model at Foscam for example.

Installation and start -up of the camera

We have already seen it in other brand tests, the start -up could not be simpler.You have to bring a smartphone and the Reolink mobile application.Free and available on Apple and Android platforms.

Start by launching the assistant to add new camera and scan the QR code on the back of the camera.

Enter your WiFi identifiers.Please note, like many connected objects, this camera only works with WiFi 2.4GHz.If the standard is at 5GHz wifi, I advise you to keep WiFi 2.4GHz pour ce genre de cas, mieux même, de dédier un réseau wifi spécialement pour les objets connectés en 2.4GHz.

Present the QR code generated by the application in front of the camera, the latter speaks to you and confirms the right connection to the house network.For obvious security reasons, the application forces you to change the default password before accessing the first images.

It's over, the camera is functional.In just 3 steps and barely 2 minutes, it is operational.We can hardly make simpler and effective.

The settings

If the camera is ready to operate as soon as you start, it is however possible to configure it a little more advanced.You can for example activate movement detection according to planning and adapt the sensitivity of the sensor.

On the recording side, it is automatically triggered according to the detection settings.It is then possible to define the recording time.But also to decide whether you also want to record audio or not.

The WiFi Reolink Argus PT camera for use

A camera with an on -board motorization is always a plus.Although the camera has a fairly large angle, the joystick on the left part of the screen allows very simply and with precision, to rotate the camera to see a particular area of the house in particular.With a horizontal 355 ° rotation and vertical 140 °, nothing can escape him.

Personally, I find this camera of good quality and very practical.Its ease of installation and infinite autonomy makes it possible to respond to all constraints.Its motorization is also very practical for navigating on different plans of the field and being able to visualize everything from the same point.

It may be missing a function with pre-recorded positions as proposed by other professional cameras to navigate quickly between the different positions.Finally, the camera being able to rotate to have a 360 ° panorama, a zoom would also be a plus.However, even without these two options which are not essential, this camera is of high quality.

I really like its Mask Confidentiality Mask which makes it possible to very simply isolate the public areas of the field of vision or even the neighbor's field.What secure the house in the right angle while respecting the legislation in force.

Marketed at € 179, it is sometimes possible to find this camera closer to € 150 which makes it a very good price in view of the quality offered, both in the image and in the design.Finally, for infinite autonomy, I highly recommend the solar panel.
