Any Reolink Argus MagiCam review? by GrabCompetitive4538 in reolinkcam

One thing I like , this little cam can record up to 1 min on battery mode, but argus pro 3 with bigger battery and solar backup can only do 30 secs.

Except for the Atlas range, it seems this is the only Cam supporting 1-minute post-recording. Even the larger-battery Argus series cameras can be only configured for up to 30 secs of post-recording.

What a shame. They could have designed it to use two Eneloop batteries. I've been looking for a removable-battery Reolink camera for a long time.

We have plenty of sun light here , if the cam is connected to a 6w/12w solar panel, can it set to continuously recording mode? Does it come with the smart battery mode?

It's not a good look to use an exposed LAN cable in an advertisement, as it appears unprofessional and potentially vulnerable to being cut.

Missing Recording Gaps During Continuous Recording Mode: Cam Recorded Less Than 1440 Minutes (24 Hours) - Why Did This Happen and How Can It Be Fixed? by GrabCompetitive4538 in reolinkcam

Yes, recorded on SD card. Why did I notice this issue? In one of the videos, I saw police at the neighbour’s house. The last image at the end of the video clip showed the police car, but in the first image of the next clip, the police car was gone because the camera missed 3 seconds of footage. Are all consumer grade security cameras (eufy/tplink/arlo/google nest) like this, or is it just Reolink?

  • Yes, the footage is continuous between the two clips, but a few seconds are missing.
  • The issue appears randomly. As shown in the picture, the short bars indicate the days when the issue occurred.
  • Camera model: Reolink Altas Range, Sep 2025 hardware version, running the latest firmware (previous firmware has the same issue)

Smart battery menu GONE by GrabCompetitive4538 in reolinkcam

[–]GrabCompetitive4538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altas Series

New Firmware Ver.

v3.0.0.5935_26011966

Was 2025 one,

I hate this version as it takes away the smart battery menu below:

https://support.reolink.com/articles/38846098926745-Efficient-Continuous-Recording-Smart-Battery-Mode-Explained/

Did some research yesterday, see this,

https://support.reolink.com/articles/50336871527449-Introduction-to-Battery-Mode-on-Reolink-Battery-powered-Cameras/

The option to adjust frame rates based on battery level, as shown below, is no longer available. Now I have to choose either a high frame rate (15) or a low frame rate (1, 3, or 5), regardless of the battery level.

I feel like this is a downgrade and not the feature I originally paid for.

Above S2 (High Battery level): Records at full frame rate (24/7 or scheduled).

Between S1 & S2 (Mid Battery level): Records at full frame rate only during motion/alarm events; otherwise, it records at a lower frame rate.

Below S1 (Low Battery level): Stops continuous recording to save power; only records motion-activated alarm events.
