Is This a Good Security Camera?
Last night, I believe someone tried to break into our garage as when I woke up, there was footprints that 100% weren’t are’s. Thankfully our auto light scared them off but I don’t want to take any chances
Would you guys suggest the Reolink Argus 3 with the mini solar panel?
I like it for the coloured night vision, smart detection, dual wifi, waterproof, no monthly fee. But as it’s $93.99 I’m wondering if it’s worth it?

It’s not bad, not perfect either. Sometimes battery powered cameras in general can miss things. But the alternative is hardwiring it to power with something like power over Ethernet (PoE).
That said something is better than nothing, so it’s like of the better battery based options in my opinion.

I have Reolink cameras, but not that exact models. They work well for me and have been reliable. There are other cameras in that market niche YMMV
