Argus 2 PT 4k 2.4/5

[user_585783633887262_585783633887262]

I just replaced a Argus 2 PT 4k 2.4 with the 5GB version.

The sensitivity setting seem the same but it will only pickup and record objects within about 10-15 feet.

Suggestions? I even turned up the sensitivity settings to 100.

Thanks

@user_585783633887262_585783633887262 The WIFI frequency band has nothing to do with the detection range. This merely depends on the PIR and its settings. As I stated in a previous reply, walking across the detection area of a PIR detector results in a rapid detection because multiple sectors are crossed quickly triggering the detector. Walking towards the sensing area of a PIR detector may result in later detection as it is possible to walk towards the PIR sectors without crossing them (which is required for detection). I think the max detection range of the PIR installed on the Argus 2 PT is about 33 feet when the sensitivity is set between 85 and 100.

Thanks for the reply but I'm asking this because I purchased the "upgraded" (if you want to call it that) of the Argus PT 2K that works on 5GH WiFi also.....not saying that WiFi has anything to do with it....

I have noticed that one my regular Argus PT 2k was missing a lot of activity and it seemed like after I raised the camera up, it then started picking up objects again. I have raised the newer version camera to see if that makes a difference as well....

By the way....can you tell me what the newest FW is for the Argus 2 PT 4k 2.4/5 Wifi? Just wonding if my new one may have old firmware (v3.0.0.1045_22061301) and I may need to put in a ticket to request an update....

@user_585783633887262_585783633887262 Finding the correct optimal position for PIR cameras is absolutely critical. Argus 2 PT is not included in the download center as there may be different variants. So I suggest you to email Reolink support and quote your HW. You shall get a reply within two days.
