A battery Wi-Fi camera that records to a microSD card or Reolink hub rather than a subscription. It has colour night vision with a built-in spotlight, AI person, vehicle and animal detection, two-way talk and dual-band Wi-Fi, with an optional solar panel to keep the battery topped up. The Amazon listing found describes it as 5MP and solar-powered at around £64, which differs from older 2K descriptions, so check the box contents. Home Assistant works through Reolink's own integration, but battery cameras sleep and so report less often than a mains camera. Good value for no-subscription outdoor coverage.
What can Home Assistant control on the Reolink Argus 3 Pro?
Handled by the core reolink integration (local push), which supports Reolink battery cameras but not as often-polled devices: they wake on PIR motion or periodically, so most entities update on wake rather than continuously. Argus 3 Pro is not named on the HA docs page, and an anecdotal buyer report says it exposes little beyond spotlight and basic controls; test on your own unit.
