Though lacking advanced features we found in other brands like Nest and Arlo, we’d still recommend Reolink as a company that’s not only affordable, but also a great option for DIY 5 purists.

If it’s cameras you’re looking for, Reolink is a great place to start. It might not be as effective as Ring’s Floodlight Camera ( we tested Ring’s Floodlight Cam, which is a go-to option for intruder deterrence), but the Lumus should still get the job done.Īnd with Argus 3, which happened to be our favorite Reolink camera, you’re getting a supercharged dose of flexibility with not one, but two mounting brackets to choose from: a magnetic mount, for those who love magnets as much as we do, or the handy ball-joint “security” mount, which basically ensures it can’t be stolen – at least not without some difficulty.įinal Thoughts: Is There Value in Reolink? For that, we think the Reolink Lumus, 2 with Wi-Fi capability and a powerful spotlight, is a solid option. On the other hand, you could be in dire need of a camera to monitor your driveway at night, because you’ve heard about recent car break-ins in your neighborhood.

If you’re someone who’s worried about curb appeal, this is something to think about. However, it lost a few eye candy points for us when we attached it, so we took it down.

Pro Tip: If you’re worried about your Reolink camera falling from its perch, both of our cameras came with a fall-safe strap. But this one does have three key features that we haven’t seen in our previous tests of Reolink cams: Pan, tilt, and zoom. It’s a nice, round number and, at least among outdoor cameras, happens to be a fair price for the features and accessories that they come with, and how they perform. In news that might not surprise you, we’ve reviewed many cameras that hover around $100. But the upgrades were evident when we analyzed the new E1 Outdoor cam ourselves: a powerful motion-activated spotlight, PoE capability, and Super HD 5MP video resolution. Indecisive folks, this one’s for you.Īt $99.99, E1 Outdoor is more than double the cost of the original E1. Reolink is a huge brand, but Amcrest might be even bigger, with dozens if not hundreds of cameras to choose from. While we weren’t blown away by Amcrest’s cameras in terms of design and engineering, we do think they’re a nod or two above many of Amcrest’s offerings – especially their PTZ cams.įor what it’s worth, though, we did think Amcrest could be great as a lower-cost alternative to Reolink when we took Amcrest cams for a spin. Like Amcrest’s NVR video surveillance systems, Reolink PoE systems are ideal for storing large amounts of video. Since it’s a PoE camera, we had the option with E1 Outdoor to connect to a network video recorder for an even more reliable connection. With the sleeker, better looking Argus 3, the bump in price over the Argus 2 and Argus Eco is certainly justified. When it comes to value, there’s no question that Reolink holds its own among higher-profile brands. For more insight on similarities and differences between the two brands, check out our Arlo vs. As you might recall, when we tested Arlo Pro 3, we found that it’s also a 2K camera, which means it delivers clear, sharp recordings and live streams most of the time. We do want to note, though, that Arlo sells its Pro 3 as a 2, 3, or 4-pack with a required base station, so it’s hard to compare it apples to apples with the Argus 3. As an example, Arlo, a close rival of Reolink’s, bears a striking resemblance to Argus 3, but the latter happens to be about $80 cheaper. But that’s not to say Argus 3 isn’t an excellent choice for the money. Of course, with all that extra bling, we weren’t surprised to see a price bump on Argus 3 over its predecessors.

Here, the Argus 3 gets a sweet outdoor-ready upgrade that combines the friendly design of Argus 2 with the durability of Argus Eco, for the relatively low price of $110. When we reviewed Argus 3 hands-on, we knew immediately we were in for a real treat.
