Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the better outdoor camera, the Blink Outdoor 2K+ or the Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel?
The Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel is the more capable pick, with 4K video, auto-tracking pan-tilt, a bundled solar panel, a spotlight, privacy zones and a 2-year warranty, all with no subscription. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ is cheaper and simpler with a two-year battery.
What sets these two cameras apart most?
Coverage and power. The Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel pans and tilts to follow motion in 4K and keeps itself charged with the included solar panel, while the fixed Blink Outdoor 2K+ shoots 2K and relies on a long-life replaceable battery.
Does either camera come with a solar panel?
Yes, the Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel bundles a solar panel that keeps its battery near full in a sunny spot. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ has no solar option, though its AA lithium batteries are rated up to two years.
Which one records without a monthly fee?
The Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel records locally to microSD (and can FTP to a NAS) with no subscription. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ requires a Blink plan for AI alerts and full video history, and its bundled sync module drops local storage.
Who should buy the Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel?
