The duration is enough to catch the beginning of an event, but the gaps between clips are sometimes far too wide and risk making the clips less useful if they were needed for evidence. The one potential dealbreaker for the Argus 3 Pro is the clip limit for cloud recordings. The addition of a built-in spotlight is also handy for walking around at night or scaring away intruders. Image quality is solid for close and mid-range visibility, but there are better options if the camera will cover large areas. The camera works well both inside and outside the home, and if you can wrangle the push notifications, it's useful for notifying you of unexpected activity. Combined with a solar panel for charging, it's flexible enough to be used almost anywhere - it can even work as a makeshift trail cam in the wilderness. It's also one of the very few outdoor smart cameras with a memory card slot. Given the features and price, the Argus 3 Pro is a fine option if you want the features of more premium cameras while paying a lower price.
However, this model notably requires a wired power connection, which may not be ideal for everybody. Alternatively, at about twice the price of the Argus 3 Pro, you could get the Nest Cam with Floodlight if you want to light up your yard.
Still, it offers probably the best app, AI features, and cloud storage experience. The battery-powered version of the Nest Cam is a bit more expensive at $180, and you'll have to sacrifice video resolution (it's only 1080p) and the spotlight. Google's Nest cameras have also been popular, but it's impossible to find one that precisely matches on features. But these improvements come at a relatively substantial increase in price to $200 for the camera alone and another $50 for a solar panel. However, Arlo's companion app and cloud service are nicer, and the cameras offer slightly more advanced AI features, like recognizing package deliveries. The closest match in features is the Arlo Pro 4, which offers the same video resolution, a built-in floodlight, and an optional solar panel. Reolink certainly isn't alone in the market, though most cameras with a similar feature set are a bit pricier.
