Rolink Argus 4 Pro Review: 4K Security Security with the support of local storage

If you are shopping for a new home safety camera, you will not be tense due to a lack of options. In fact, there will be a surplus of products to choose from it gives you a headache, and when you think you have done the necessary purchase, monthly subscriptions, smart rules, and battery packages, they contradict shyly.

Home safety cameras may be ten cents now, but 4K options are still very small. The new Rolink from Argus 4 Pro is a powerful 4K option that provides advanced storage features and not only one lens to capture a high level of vision.

What is good in Argus 4 Pro?

A lot of 2K cameras there is the completion of the task; I found a wonderful 2K image myself in the Arlo Essential XL Security camera. However, Rolink Argus 4 Pro is a clear testimony to the 4K future for security cameras. The colorful night vision of this camera is decent – it maintains a lot of details but it tends to increase the exaggeration of bright light sources, such as the light of my neighbor’s balcony – but the real bone lies in keeping the details at long distances.

I installed the Argus 4 Pro in a difficult spot, where the nearest sidewalk is about 95 feet and the nearest street from 5 to 10 other feet. The camera still not only discovered the movement at this distance, but also distinguishes it between people and vehicles. The camera was able to read a license board clearly about 45-50 feet; If you installed the Argus 4 Pro directly from a street instead of a comfort garage 100 feet as you did, you will be able to read the license board on each car pass, and a clear picture of each driver while you are in it.

The basic components of Argus 4 Pro, such as integrated sirens, speaker, microphone, installation process, satisfactory. It is a Ultrawide camera, two lenses are used on each side to capture 180 degrees of horizontal width (more than 150 degrees from Arlo Ultra 2, which is a comparable 4K camera). The lights will not have baptism, but it is definitely amazed.

At 5000 mAh per hour, the battery will last a few months without charging, but since the reinstallation includes a solar panel with this camera, this is not a great concern. My solar panel received a few hours of direct sunlight in good days, but it went several days without sun, and the battery did not decrease to less than 95 %. For some reason, although the ARGUS 4 Pro battery capacity is a 6000 mAh capacity in its predecessor, The Argus 3 Pro. However, it still exceeds her older brother in most ways.

Instead of the activity areas where the camera searches for movement, Argus 4 Pro allows users to set privacy masks. These masks prevent movement detection and protect the area in the records with a black blanket. The image below shows how this mask – the black square on the left.

After trying this mask and activity areas in other cameras, I have no strong opinion. However, I will point out that your neighbors will not know that they cannot see that you preferred to prevent their side from the fence from your point of view. In any case, this feature can protect stadiums, swimming pools or other people’s arenas from width of the camera if you choose to do so for safety reasons. I wanted to see every person in a corridor and my square, but I did not necessarily need to know when my neighbor was watering its flowers.

I haven’t seen a based on the size of the objects in the cameras other than the Argus 4 Pro. I used my fair share of internal movement detectors and cameras that claim to use AI to determine whether a person or animal has been discovered, with varying degrees of success.

For any reason, Argus 4 Pro’s approach was more consistent. To use this feature, create a square on a moving object inside the frame, such as a person, cat, or car. The camera will then be told if this moving thing is the maximum or minimum size. For example, you do not need to alert it to every vehicle you pass, so I drew a box around a person and asked the camera to ignore anything bigger.

This will be great in the opposite direction when using the camera inside; If you just want to know if a person is inside, but he does not want Ping every time he exposes your cat, you only have to use the minimum size of the size indicator. The camera will not pick up anything younger than an adult. You will only need to pay attention to children’s thieves, assume.

I have explored the Timelpase feature of ARGUS 4 Pro, which works well. The camera only needs a storage port, such as a SD card or base, and the solar plate (continuous power is important, learned when I ate a period of 12 hours through more than 70 % of the camera’s energy).

Recycling video storage standard

The reputation of the Rolink brand is generally positive, with no boiling scandals surrounding the user’s privacy and data violations. If you have an average sensitivity level when it comes to this type of things, then reshaping 30 cars of cloud storage for $ 6 per month will suit you.

Do you prefer local storage? ARGUS 4 Pro can keep a 128 GB archive on the plane if you add a MicroSD card, or the 100 dollar re -steering center provides a safer storage by creating LAN for your recycling devices and providing expansion via several SD holes.

Most users will have more than sufficient storage capacity. However, to the joy of the users of FTP and NAS devices, it takes a safe local storage one step forward with the Argus 4 Pro, which can send its video archive directly to the FTP server, encrypted or not, whatever you choose.

I also appreciate that I can save fixed images and recorded video (taken directly by the camera, I have to refer, no Record a screen, as I had to do with other cameras) directly to a phone library without the need for a paid subscription, a SD card or anything. The only hunting is that you should be quick to act on motion notifications and watch the display of the direct camera when the procedure occurs.

What is bad in Argus 4 Pro?

The devices here exceed expectations. It can improve the re -orientation of the total user experience in several small ways. I thought it might support the battery-powered camera-which is sold with a solar panel and submit an integrated video to FTP-around the clock throughout the week, but the Argus 4 Pro only provides a registration that has been activated from the movement, which may disappoint shoppers who are trained deeply in the security of the house enough until they think about the FTP server to store them in the camera.

ReoleK’s Companion can use an adjustment or two. Sometimes, it was not useful, as was the case when my MicroSD card needed coordination and its way to tell us is the message, “the abnormal storage.”

The “click to get help” button does not lead to anything useful, such as a video, forum or customer service chat. Although the width of the 180 -degree dual lens for Argus 4 Pro is a great thing to capture long passages or wide squares, it is not easy to display in the direction of the image, so it will be good for the application to extend the live image to the screen by filling the screen in the landscape mode or even dividing the vision in the image.

Should you buy it?

It would be great if the super picture is easier in the application, but in general, I have very little complaint. Rolink Argus 4 Pro may be costly, but it is worth money if you can swing.

It excels in wide arenas, long corridors, or even inside in a large area. Various storage options for those who are more serious in this aspect appeal. In addition, since the purchase includes a solar panel, the battery life-as Achilles for many similar cameras-becomes a bracelet.
