REOLINK 4K 4G LTE Cellular Security Camera, 8MP No WiFi Solar Powered, Pan Tilt 360° with Smart Detection, Color Night Vision, Local Storage, SIM+32GB SD Card Included, Go PT Ultra-Grey+Solar Panel 2

This camera took some technical know-how to install and get to work. Took serveral trips to AT&T to get connected to network and then realized that the issue was that when I turned it off to go home, it lost signal and would not reconnect. So I went down the road about a mile and sat under the tower until it connected. Then drove home with it connected and it works greate.SERIOUS issue with battery life. We reduced the alerts to vehicles only, and ensured the solar panel was pointing directly at the sun. It lasts 15-20 days depending on the number of alerts. We then have to take it down and charge it with a USB cable in the house. Since my mother is 87, I have to go take it down and I live in another state and am an amputee. Not ideal.

I've had a ReoLink Argus for several years when I needed a full function security camera that didn't require constant wired or network connection. The Reolink Go PT Ultra was a definite upgrade. The LTE functionality and solar charging works as expected, but the app continues to impress. You have full control over all functions of the camera including the ability to download videos, preview them, or just watch the live feed. The notifications are probably the best feature as you can tailor what you want based on sensitivity settings or geometry.All the camera you want and none of the BS.

It was OK to set up. Not easy but not the worst. Bought a sim card and data plan as needed to run this. Worked great for several weeks. Then the solar panel just stopped working so now I have to climb a ladder to take this down and charge the camera every few days. Battery lasts about 3 days.Also, it seems to randomly choose what to record. When it does record you have to be super close to it. At times, I've stood in front of the camera and it didn't recognize me there.I thought it was amazing for the first month. Now I am regretting throwing away $200 plus the cost of my data plans. Huge waste of money. I'm so glad that I didn't purchase a second one like I almost did.*********Update:They contacted me with my review asking if I wanted a full refund. They did not list any strings attached but when I accepted they wanted me to provide info from the unit and pics to troubleshoot. I said no (I don't have time to be climbing up and down a ladder messing with the camera). Now they want me to pay shipping and return it somewhere that appears outside of Amazon before they provide this supposed refund. And who knows if I'll even get it after that.If they could get the camera to work properly it would be great but that is not what they originally contacted me about and offered. I don't have time to be going back and forth with them all day. The product shouldn't have stopped working properly so soon after buying.Now I'm skeptical on the company as a whole after they offered one thing, then changed it, then added limitations to the first offer.

Purchased two different models. A cell camera and a WIFI. WIFI requires a REOLINK subscription and an SD Memory Card. The Cell requires an annual SIM Card. This should be made CLEAR.Email "push notifications" were difficult to set up for both. No CLEAR instructions regarding this.What was unclear to me was SMTP server: mail.your-domain-name.com andPort: 465 (outgoing port!)Good Luck!

It is very stressful to set up and get help. You have to go through amazon support reading the step by step 1st and finally they give you a reolink support number. Finally got it working. Then the free data was used and I bought a data plan from reolink. Now my camera isn't working. I'm so frustrated! The help prompts tell you to do things to the camera to troubleshoot. It is a cellular camera 2 hours from my home. So I have to travel 2 hours, climb a ladder to take it down and troubleshoot it!!! My wifi cameras at home have been great but this off grid camera is a nightmare.

UPDATE 2:Reolink has completely refunded my purchase even though the return time frame has passed. I updated my review from 3 to 5 stars because they really did go above and beyond my expectations. Sandy is exceptional in customer service.I wish the cameras would’ve worked out for us.UPDATE:Reolink gave me a $30 credit for my troubles… AFTER sending me an email that they would refund my money if I sent the cameras back.I agreed to the $30, since we already gave the cameras installed on our house. I really wish I would have agreed to sending them back and getting my money back. I feel like I blew $400 for something that isn’t working out the way I was led to believe (Thanks Doc…) FYI Verizon and AT&T do not sell SIM cards for this brand of camera. I bought 2 SIM cards from T-MOBILE and not having any luck with that either. Colossal waste of money.Hoping the offer of getting a full refund for returning them still stands.Camera has great video and picture quality. There is about a 10 second delay from activity in your yard versus receiving the notification on your app/phone.Customer service was good-ish. The front line reps can’t help with issues, they just direct you to warranty.Customer service once you got out of the front line, was excellent and got my problem resolved. “Sandy” was excellent.You can use the SIM card they provide, however, if you have multiple cameras, be advised that EACH camera must have their own data plan. You cannot add multiple cards to their data plan.
