      Hi,
      I use Argus 3 (pro) and Argus 2 cameras.

      The Argus 3/has a better resolution, can detect people and vehicles, etc.

      The Argus 2 reacts much faster than the 3. I also noticed that "high" recordings start later than "low."

      Argus 2 are also recognized small animals, which unfortunately remain undetected in the Argus 3.

      Now I'm considering getting another Argus PT or PT 2k.

      Can someone give a rating and name advantages and or disadvantages?

      I read that PT is comparable to the Argus 3 (without pan&tilt of course)

      Does this also apply to the accuracy of recognition?

      Thank you for your reviews/evaluation

      Greeting
      G.

        Argus 3 pro: Person/vehicle detection, spotlight, smaller

        Argus PT 2K: Person/vehicle detection,PT, bigger
        A good review here, https://community.reolink.com/topic/3268/argus-pt-4mp-black-version-first-impressions?page=1.

        Argus PT: no person/vehicle detection and spotlight, bigger

        There is new firmware for the Argus 3 pro and Argus PT 2K. This has improved AI detection a lot. If you want, you can try to contact the support team to get.

            I have four Argus 2 cameras and an Argus PT (2k). I replaced one of my Argus 2 at the same location with the PT (2K). I mainly use them to capture critters that wonder into my yard.
             
            Argus PT (2K) vs Argus 2 Pros:
            . Better image detail and better night vision.
            . Smart Motion detection (Person/Vehicle). Great for limiting alerts and works well.
            . Pan and Tilt. Great for alignment of image where you want it.
            . 16x digital zoom vs 6x for the Argus 2
             
            Argus PT (2K) vs Argus 2 Cons:
            . Slower to wake up and record.
            . WIFI connection seems a little bit touchier.
            . Larger in size (Not a big deal for me).
            . The battery is not replaceable.
             
            The PT (2k) is superior except for the slower wakeup time to record. Which is a decrement in capturing the quick moving critters moving thru the image.

              My Argus 3 Pro detects cats, even when they are not close to the camera. Do you have smaller animals (mice, hamsters…)⁉️

              As for the startup time, it's the same here: about 2 seconds for High and Low.

                  as an example i got an argus 2 at one corner of the house and an argus 3 pro at the other corner, with the argus 2 i can see a rabbit hoppeling in direction to the argus 3 pro (and past). The argus 3 pro sees nothing.
                  thanks for your post

                    where do I find the new firmware for my Argus 2PK cameras?

                    I looked on the Download site of Reolink and the product isn’t listed.

                      @james_469641658028270 You can contact support and send camera system information to them. Then they will offer.
