If you are like me, you might not have heard of Reolink previous to this article. In fact, my only other interaction with Reolink was back in 2016 when I reviewed their RLC410 PoE camera. I think its safe to say after two years- they have made some waves in the home security pool, bringing in Argus a competing wire-free solution to the ever popular Netgear Arlo. That said, Argus has come and gone and now Reolink is back with Argus 2.

If we just look at the hardware specifications, the Argus 2 is impressive for a wire-free solution. It takes advantage of the Sony Starlight Sensor with Full HD 1080p resolution. This is a fixed lens camera with a 130-degree viewing angle and Passive Infrared sensor with a motion detection range of 9 meters or 30 feet and IR range of 33 feet. The camera includes built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio, microSD slot for onboard recording and micro USB for charging the battery.
