Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased 4 Reolink Argus 2 Cameras. They have beautiful color rendering. The App is simple to use. What I soon realized however is the PIR nature of the Camera. PIR detection is best if you position the camera in such a way that the subject crosses from side to side in front of the camera. If you walk directly straight toward the Camera or even run toward it, you will in many instances be able to go undetected! No joke. Since the Camera has an SD card, you will be able to knock the canera off or yank it down before it records. Now the interesting part. This camera comes with cloud storage. Sounds good right? Well, you might be thinking if my Camera with SD card inside is stolen or destroyed, I still have the cloud backup. Think again folks. As of this writing, cloud storage is only good for 7 seconds, even if you choose 8/15/30 seconds using the app. 7 seconds that's too short. Compare that to what the competition is offering. Some free cloud storage offered by other camera makers offer way more video time capture. To me, these cameras are best used hidden, because a knowlegable thief can recognize the Argus 2 brand and run straight toward it, knowing the probability of being video captured is low. If you own this Camera, try running directly toward it, and not across it and see how much Captured video you get. Since these cameras work best if someone walks across and not straight toward the camera, be prepared to capture a majority of side view profiles of would be intruders. After walking across from the camera which is the ideal triggering path for this type of camera, I will verify what most of the other reviewers have said. The motion detection is very weak even at its highest detection setting. I want to love these Cameras, but it's severly limited. They are beautiful to look at and hold, but are just as good as a new Ferrari without an engine.
