Like many people that pre-ordered the Argus 3 cameras, when setup, I was plagued by having to constantly tweak the settings to avoid false alarms. If you live a very static environment and don't deal with those issue, that's great. However, for those of us like me who live in environments that are very dynamic, these cameras are pretty much unusable. I live on the west coast of Florida on the water, so reflections of the sun off the water trigger alerts, plus in coastal environments there is constant wind, so palm trees constantly set it off, etc. And yes, I have spent hours moving cameras to different locations and tweaking the settings (I have 4 of these). They are just no good in these types of environments since they use pixel based detection.

So now, Reolink is coming out with the Argus 3 Pro, that instead of pixel based detection, it uses person/vehicle detection. Wonderful...I spend nearly $500 on these cameras and solar panels, and now they are coming out with these! Obviously, this really makes me lose my confidence in Reolink and wonder why they just didn't have this in the original Argus 3. I would understand if it were a year later, but I've had these camera for a month or so. This would make anyone upset.

Reolink -- What are you going to do for those of us where these cameras do not work in our environment and now see you are working on the Pro version? I understand Reolink doesn't have to do anything, but come on...

Will there be a software upgrade for the Argus 3? Doubtful.
Will there be a credit towards the purchase of the Pro version?

I feel Reolink needs to do something to make this right.
