On the live view, you can not only see what's going on, but also listen and talk back with the built-in mic & speaker. Use Reolink Argus as a webcam even with no power outlets, to view your home/business via free Reolink app anytime and anywhere.

As stated earlier, the Reolink Argus is the company’s first entry into the indoor/outdoor 100% battery operated camera market permitting you the ability to place it nearly anywhere desired. It takes all the various innovations the company has made with its other products and condenses them into a single device that is no larger than 3.5” High x 2.25” Wide x 2” Deep. Although it is a very small and compact unit, it packs a punch when it comes to functionality and usability. The ideas and uses are nearly endless where one can place the Argus security camera.
What do you get in the box? First, let me say that I have never been disappointed with the packaging or shipping of any of Reolink’s products, and this is exactly what I received with the Argus. Tight and well secured packaging that fully protects my purchase. As with the company’s other cameras, you always get more than what other manufactures provide or are often sold separately. Reolink provides you with everything you need to get started with the camera out of the box. You not only get the camera and its magnetic base, you also get a tripod mount, the mounting screws (if required), a tool to assist in opening the camera to install batteries, four included lithium batteries, and the mounting templates. The only thing missing (which is optional) is a basic SD card for storing any recordings you would like.
What are some of the features a camera like this can provide? Well, this little unit can run 100% on battery power for months at a time. It is fully weather proof, so it can be used both inside and outside. The video is 1080p full HD unlike others offering 720 or below resolutions. The camera comes with night vision with a range of 33 feet; not bad for such a small device only running on batteries. The camera has the smart PIR sensor built in, so unlike with the keen where you needed to additionally place the sensor somewhere near the camera, the Argus has it all built in. The camera also allows you remote access as with other Reolink devices and is managed by a mobile application supporting both iOS and Android systems. Setup is a breeze if you have previously setup a Reolink Keen device. Setup walks you through via voice instructions the steps to get the unit on wireless and connected to the client application. It could not be easier.
What makes this camera even more versatile is the magnetic base that ships with the camera. This weighted base permits one to mount or angle the camera in almost any position. The magnetic base is very heavy and solid so there is no concern that the camera will tip over; even during windy days. The metal base also comes with two mounting holes for screws if you want to mount it permanently to something such as the side of a house, door post, or anything else that will accept screws. If you do not want to use the magnetic base, the camera also ships with a tripod adaptor that can be screw mounted also. For more severe environment, I would suggest using the tripod mount over the magnetic one.
If you have already made an investment into Reolink’s products and you are looking for a small form-factor indoor/outdoor camera, the Argus is a no brainer. If you simply want a stand-along versatile security camera, I do not think you can go working with the Argus.
Pros:
• Many features and functions only found in higher end cameras
• All the required items are provided in the one box; SD card optional
• Mobility HD 1080P camera to capture nearly anything anywhere
• Very heavy and balanced magnetic base
• All-in-one integration, no need for a separate PIR sensor
• Loud warning siren to scare away potential thieves
• Two-way audio communication
• Uses voice commands telling you how to initially setup the unit
• No required cloud-based subscriptions
Cons:
• Would have liked the unit to be a bit easier to open without the tool
• Would have preferred the reset button and SD card slot be located in the battery compartment for better protection from the outdoor elements
• The unit does not support any PTZ (Pan / Tilt / Zoom) features like the indoor units
• No real instructions or quick start guide provided in my packaging; may be in others
• For a few extra dollars, it would have been nice to have an included SD card
• The unit does not integrate with any NVR units for long term storage or management
• An option to have a solid black unit would have also been nice
UPDATE
I have stopped using the camera as it was recording when nothing was happening and using up the expensive batteries in a week after recording only minutes of "nothing" and me looking at "nothing" for a few minutes. They company said it was the way the camera was located but the camera only had issues after an App update. Very poor engineering and you should NOT buy. I should have looked at the reviews. If you only have 39% five stars and 19% one stars the buyer should run away from this product and I really doubt the validity of the five star reviews.
These have been critical in surveillance of a cabin out in the woods without electricity. It's been an uphill battle and we've lost thousands of dollars in tools and other items stolen before we decided to put up cameras. There aren't alot of options out there, Reolink could easily charge more and still be a good value (but don't get any ideas guys :) ... ). In fact the price of these is the reason I've rated it 5 stars instead of 4. For this purpose, they can't be beaten. They don't require a base station, run on batteries, and use PIR instead of algorithmic motion detection, which is not only more accurate with less false alarms (think light changes from clouds in the sky) but also helps to save on battery life since the camera is only running after actual motion is detected. The video quality great as well and when we turned the footage over to the local authorities they asked about the cameras we used to recommend to others. The app for android is quite pretty and easy to use. I haven't needed to test any third party apps so i cannot speak to its compatibility.
PROS:
+Great price.
+Awesome picture.
+Battery operated with a very long battery life when used correctly (aimed away from tall weeds and other moving items).
+Good android app.
+MicroSD storage (the best way to review the footage is swap the cards, that way you don't need to waste battery I just do it when I change the batteries).
+Day/Night camera which switches automatically.
+Does NOT require WiFi to work (but does to set it up or receive push notifications on your phone).
+Weather resistant.
+Price, did I already say that?
CONS: (they're mostly software related which can be patched with an update)
-Only records 7 second clips.
-Cannot disable the status LED like you can on the Reolink Keen cameras.
-When the battery gets low, it sends CONSTANT notifications (like every 1 to 5 mins) which just further drains battery.
-No option for external power (but they do have better cameras to suit your needs if that's a requirement)
-No cloud service, yet.
If I think of more I will update the review, but if you need a camera that absolutely must work off the grid, Get this one now.

Realmente una decepción el consumo de la pilas - se tuvo que comprar baterías alcalinas y recargables (cuando las alcalinas las consumió paq. 12 en una semana) ocupa pilas Cr123 (algo caras).
No imagino este modelo en el exterior y cambiando las pilas constantemente
