It would of been great if my Argus PT would of recorded him coming out of the woods.

Same issue here on my Argus PT. Did support resolve the issue? What did they say?

So after the temperture went above 30F it started to charge. It went from 38% battery life to 40% battery life from an all day charge. Sunny all day. Solar is such crap.

Pete, i just installed one of these today. Covers up to 14000 square ft.

Hi,

I have the Argus PT & Solar Panel. The battery on the camera is at 40%. How many days/weeks/months/years of sunlight will it take to charge it to 100%? Do I really need to remove it from its installation location and re-charge it via electrical outlet to bring it back to 100%?

So i installed and setup the new WiFi extender. This gave the cameras FULL WiFi signal/bars, but it did not increase the bandwidth speed.

Theses cameras are flawed in 2.4ghz. They need to support 5ghz. Plain & Simple. 5ghz is faster, but it has a shorter WiFi range. They need to ADD SUPPORT for 5ghz or else you will NEVER get the proper bandwidth.

You can add all the extenders & antennas you want. If they are 2.4ghz, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

The new Question to ask is..... Can we put a 5ghz antenna on these wifi cameras? I have the Argus PT.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Dual-Band-Antennas-Extension-Wireless/dp/B07RT5YBDY/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=RP-SMA+Connector+for+IP+Camera+5ghz&qid=1578605103&s=electronics&sr=1-10

I just purchased a WiFi extender (https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/range-extender/re650/) to deal with this issue.
I will update you when I install it today to see if there is a major improvement in signal strength.

The cameras "Fluent" mode is a terrible view. Need "clear" mode view only.

It's 30F outside and very sunny. The solar panels for my Argus PT are not charging the cameras batteries and my batteries are running low. Please advise. I noticed the camera was blinking from orange to green. Doesnt this mean the camera is being charged by the solar panel? But camera battery not accepting the charge because its 30F outside?

A delivery driver pulled in front of my house and he walked towards my front door. 30 second recording showed him pull up to my house with the truck and he got out of the truck. Recording stopped. It missed him walking to my front door. It then recorded him leaving my front door. There is a gap in the recordings. 30 seconds is not enough.

Please increase the recording time to at least 60 seconds or 120 seconds.

Thanks.
