Reolink Argus 2 review: Better than its predecessor in all the right ways

All the impressive features of the original, but now with a rechargeable battery.

Rechargable battery, with solar panel option ; Completely wireless ; Lots of customization options

Lacks smart home integration and other advanced features

The Argus 2 improves on the original Argus in all the right ways. Even original-Argus owners might want to consider upgrading for the rechargeable battery and solar panel option.

Reolink Argus 2 Review: Budget Security Camera Gets the Job Done

While it's not a top-performing security camera, the $129 Reolink Argus 2 represents a good value. Despite the pixelization, its video capture is generally clear enough so that we could discern faces. We were particularly impressed by the color...

Good daylight video quality ; Color night-vision video ; Very flexible, interactive alarm scheduling ; Very few false alerts

Alerts close down chats, live view, downloads and other app interactivity ; Two-way audio is poor ; No cloud storage

On a budget? The $130 Reolink Argus 2 delivers good-quality video, reliable monitoring and simple software. But you'll have to put up with some annoyances.
