I have my Argus PT WiFi connected to a Spypoint SPLB-22 solar panel. This is a larger capacity solar panel with it's own built in battery. usb-c to usb-c My experience with my other 4g reolink was that the reolink panels could not provide enough power to keep the camera charged and utilize all the features so I had to constantly monitor the 4g camera and turn things on/off as needed to prevent it from dying.

Now with my new Argus PT Wifi, I'm noticing the battery indicator changes constantly between two %s, like 95 and 100 or right now 81 and 95. In my phone app, I can touch the battery row and go back and forth and it's constantly changing between those two values.

My expectation was that the Spypoint panel would keep the ReoLink at 100% until somehow the spypoint panel's battery was dead and there was no sun.

Yes, under Camera Recording: Schedule, all detection types are highlighted in blue with a blue border and the entire table is solid blue. When I went into email, it was on, but didn't look like it was fully setup. I turned email off.

What I'm having trouble understanding is that how is it when my daughter walks onto the property approximately 75' away from the camera, that liveview detected her and showed a person icon, but your camera doesn't log or record it.

Yesterday afternoon my other amcrest cameras properly detected a person walking his dog along the rear of my property (100' away!!!). Your reolink that this individual walked within 25' of didn't log a thing. It couldn't have gotten any easier than that and yet nothing logged. But yet, I have a bazillion snippets of the tarp right next to where he was walking flapping about, of course, except at that moment he was walking. I eventually will need to add a non-detection zone over the tarp but for now, trying to resist changing any other settings till I can figure out if I need to return this camera.

It does record, but the only activity it seems to log is the wind blowing a tarp around

When I am connected to my Argus PT using the ReoLink windows client and using LiveView, when somebody walks around in the view, I see a person icon appear to the upper right, so it seems the camera properly detected the motion and it's type. However, nothing shows up in the playback view to see it. I've got motion record on, all the settings are on, schedule is 24/7, yet nobody walking is getting recorded. I know recording is on because there are some motion events recorded, but it looks like it's just tree movement.

Then as another test I had my daughter walk out onto the property, The live view detected her, but no recording. Not until she was literally on the camera did a motion event get recorded.

What could I have setup wrong?

thank you
