Live View with Argus 2 disconnects after a short while

[mark maier_36060276211849]

I bought three Argus 2 with the goal to have the Live View running continuously. However, the client software always disconnects from the camera after one minute or so, with the message

"You haven't used the battery device for a long time. To save power consumption, camera will go to sleep mode in x seconds"

This also happens if the camera is connected to power (with the USB cable), both on Mac and Windows.


Another issue I'm having is that the Live View does not display the same setup after the application (or the computer) restarts. Each time I open the application, the Live View is empty, I have to manually start each camera.


Did I just buy the wrong model? Would both issues be fixed with a different camera model?


Thanks.

Reolink Argus 2 or Argus Pro is not designed for 24/7 full capacity running or around-the-clock live streaming. It’s
designed to record motion events and remotely view live streaming only when you need it.
If you have the goal to have the Live View running continuously, it's advised to go for other non-battery models.

Thanks, Bob. That's unfortunate, I have to send them back. It would be working well for me otherwise.
It seems there's no matching model (with WiFi) from Reolink available in my country, so I have to switch to some different brand.

What about this model (https://reolink.com/product/rlc-410w/)?

Thanks, I saw this, but couldn't find any shop that has it on stock.
