About the Reolink Argus 4 Pro
The Argus 4 Pro joins two fixed 4 mm lenses into one 5120 x 1440 picture at up to 15 frames per second. The view is 180 degrees wide and 50 degrees tall. Reolink markets it as 4K. A 1/1.8-inch sensor and an f/1.0 aperture feed Reolink's ColorX night vision.
There is no infrared night vision. Instead it has five 2W spotlights, which are adjustable and come on with motion by default. A built-in microphone and speaker handle two-way talk, and a siren is built in. A PIR motion sensor reaches up to 33 feet. The camera sorts people, vehicles and animals on the device, and you can set motion zones and privacy masks.
Power comes from a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that is not removable. Reolink estimates about two months per charge at 300 seconds of recording a day, and says real life depends on settings, use and temperature. You charge it over USB-C or add the Reolink Solar Panel 2, sold separately. Footage goes to a microSD card up to 512GB (not included) or to a Reolink Home Hub. The box holds the camera, a mounting plate, a security bracket, a strap and a USB-C cable.
What owners report about the Reolink Argus 4 Pro
Owners and reviewers like the wide dual-lens picture, the quick mounting with the strap, and the way it sorts people, vehicles and animals so alerts can be limited to people. One independent review found the app easy to navigate and the Wi-Fi connection steady, though the app looks dated next to rivals.
Battery life draws the most complaints. One reviewer got just under a month on a quiet street without solar, and the battery cannot be swapped for a spare. Owners with the solar panel report better endurance, but one owner in a cold, snowy climate found the panel charged poorly below its rated temperature range.
Wi-Fi drops come up in Reolink's community forum. Some owners lost the link to a Home Hub only a few feet away, while another fixed drops by moving the router closer and switching to 2.4GHz. Other gripes: the two lenses share brightness settings, so a bright area on one side can wash out, and the narrow vertical view leaves a blind spot below the camera. The power port and speaker sit on the back, which one owner worried about in snow. Feedback for this exact model is limited.
Who the Reolink Argus 4 Pro suits
It fits a house with a wide yard, driveway or side lot where one camera should replace two, and for anyone who wants footage on a microSD card with no monthly fee. Plan on the solar panel, a microSD card and a mounting spot with good Wi-Fi.
Look elsewhere if you use Apple HomeKit, or if you want a lower-priced camera: Tapo MagCam 2K+ (C425) and Wyze Cam v4 cost much less. If you'd rather have solar built in with pan and tilt, eufy SoloCam S340 is the one to compare.

The other badge winners in our home security cameras ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 15 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
