![]() ![]() But what can you do? Anyways, for iPhone, go to the iTunes store and download the free Reolink app. I much prefer PC web based configuration ( like for routers, etc ) as they are much more likely to still work down the road. I’m not a huge fan of this because it pretty much guarantees 3-5 years from now as iPhone and Android technology moves on you won’t be able to reconfigure all this camera kit you just spent $100s on. Like many consumer products ( Amazon Echo for example ) your smart phone is required to configure the cameras. I fully expect in the future I will be opening up the housing of these supposedly waterproof cameras to attempt to extract and replace the card. ![]() If you can eject the card, you can manually archive footage and view in a standard web browser without requiring the WiFi connection and proprietary Reolink PC Client software. Would you rather replace a $10 flash card or a $100 camera? Two, the camera stores standard H.264 video clips to the card in standard Windows compatible file system. ![]() Why does this matter? Two reasons, chances are 3-5 years from now the flash on the uSD card will wear out. I installed 3 cameras and the push-to-eject mechanism only worked on 1 of the 3 ( and stopped after a single eject ). Once it is in – forget about ever removing it or replacing it. The opening is just big enough for the card, so you may need a paper clip or long finger nail to actually push it in all the way. First thing out of the box, insert a uSD ( about $10 for 64 GB in 2019 ). The Argus Pro and Argus 2 cameras don’t come with on board memory but instead a uSD card slot. Goal of this blog is to provide a simple setup guide and a camera evaluation for use in an external security scenario for capturing both pedestrians on a sidewalk and car license plates entering a confined cul de sac. Installation manual was downloaded from here. I purchased both the Argus Pro and the Argus 2 which vary primarily only in the low light image sensor used.

At least the NVR is working and android app but I do have security concerns now. What a terrible experience this is I had otherwise been very satisfied. DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THE 'UPGRADE' if it is recommended. Seems like re-imaging the entire machine is the only way i would know how to fix this. ![]() Have I been hacked? Obviously security is a concern for people like me using this. I'm starting to feel like this is sketchy software now. 8.8.5 was fine i had no desire to update. Obviously, there is program residue now somewhere. I searched the registry for every instance of reolink and deleted those entries. The other errors out on 'remove' because it's already gone. somehow there was 2 versions of 8.8.5 showing in add/remove. It downloaded and installed and gave the previously mentioned errors. I didn't go looking for an update or anything it was suggested. I came home turned on the computer open the reolink client as usual, a little window opened said an update is available (happened before) I clicked ok. ![]()
