I'm new to the scene here, but have been spending a lot of time with my new Argus Pro cameras. I bought the wireless battery powered ones due to my unique setup requirements. Overall, I'm liking the apps and the cameras, and the functionality. They were easy to setup, mount, and get online - perfect for a novice. However, as a power user, I am frustrated my many of the same challenges others are raising:

Lack of access to camera stream via http or rtsp
Lack of 3rd party access (api, webhook, IFTTT, or otherwise)
Lack of configurable motion detection zones
Length of PIR recording time
Lack of Roku, AppleTV, or Firestick Apps
Others...

It's not hard to have both: easy for the novice to use and support power users (we all know that if we mess it up - reset the device; if we drain the battery - shame on us).

That said, it seems like your R&D department has its hands full with all sorts of requests, and in reading through the comments, has changed directions several times in the last few years.

I've seen other organizations implement a voting system in their forums to help them prioritize their focus toward the needs of their community - perhaps Reolink could do the same?

So I bought an Argus Pro with a camo skin for mounting on a tree. I also purchased a solar panel to charge the camera. The camera blends in nicely, but the solar panel and its cable stick out like a sore thumb.

Please consider selling black solar panels (unless you do already - I bought a combo pack) or skins for them.

Thanks.
