Can't get to the download button on the download screen, it doesn't fit on my 1920 x 1080 display. And there's no way to resize or move the download screen to get the download button to show so I can't download any videos.

I have four Argus 2 cameras and an Argus PT (2k). I replaced one of my Argus 2 at the same location with the PT (2K). I mainly use them to capture critters that wonder into my yard.
 
Argus PT (2K) vs Argus 2 Pros:
. Better image detail and better night vision.
. Smart Motion detection (Person/Vehicle). Great for limiting alerts and works well.
. Pan and Tilt. Great for alignment of image where you want it.
. 16x digital zoom vs 6x for the Argus 2
 
Argus PT (2K) vs Argus 2 Cons:
. Slower to wake up and record.
. WIFI connection seems a little bit touchier.
. Larger in size (Not a big deal for me).
. The battery is not replaceable.
 
The PT (2k) is superior except for the slower wakeup time to record. Which is a decrement in capturing the quick moving critters moving thru the image.

OK, thanks! I'll try that.

I do not want to lose the Email alerts to my gmail accounts.

@reolink-fiona Client version 8.5.2 has also fixed the scaling problem I was having with the download window and not able to see the download button. Everything now fits and I'm able to click on the download button. And I like the new changes made to the download window(s). Thank you!

@reolink-fiona

Done! RMA already issued.

Generated the google app password for all four of my Gmail accounts. Everything works as stated it would. All my cameras are now sending Email alerts using Googles two step verification.

Thanks for the help!

Support pushed the latest firmware v3.0.0.875_22030800 for my Argus PT 2k camera.

I agree with everything you said, well stated.

RLC-823A Camera:
I would also like to add that I’m not sure how to use the Privacy Mask and Detection Zone settings with a PTZ camera. They seem to apply to everything, Guard point, presets, and patrol mode. Once they are setup for a certain view, they become useless and need to change anytime you switch to use a different view (like a different Preset). Maybe they should only be applied to the Guard point, or have setups for each preset.

And I agree, it is a nice camera and I hope they’re able to fine tune the firmware more.

I have four Argus 2, a RLC-511w, RLC-823a and a RLC-810a cameras that required me to change to Gmail's two step verification and get a App password for the Reolink stuff. And I get no spam messages from my ISP.

This worked for me when I switched over last May.

ADDED EDIT:
I should also add that I use Thunderbird as my Email client and I had to generate a Gmail two step verification App password for it to connect to my four Gmail accounts.

Not getting thumbnails on my RLC-823a camera for the preset points, patrol points.

Thanks for the great review and sharing your videos and pictures. Very helpful to see actual real life usage of the duel view. Could you make a night time duel view? I mainly use my cameras for nighttime critters that enter my yard and would like to see a nighttime video of a dual zoom with regular view.

Do you know what is meant by "6X hybrid zoom". Not sure what that means, is it a mixture of optical and digital zoom capabilities?

I agree they should come back online without problems.

Try giving your WIFI cameras a static IP address in your router.

After a power outage the router’s DHCP server may give out different IPs for your cameras other than the one it was setup with and becomes confused.

My camera’s come back just fine after a power outage, but I give each of my network devices their own static IP address, so they never change.

Some of the POE cameras have an option to setup a static IP address under the Network/Advance setup option, but the WIFI cameras do not have this option.

Does anyone know what the latest firmware is for the Argus PT (2k)?

My current firmware is: v3.0.0.669_21111905

@reolink-fiona

Done! RMA already issued.

Downloaded the latest firmware update for the RLC-810a camera V3.0.0.177 (RLC_810A177_21012103) from the website that had a release date of 06/01/22. I can no longer connect to the camera with either the client or app. Reset button and disconecting power does nothing.

HELP!!!
