Reolink Argus 4 Pro combines two lenses into a 180° horizontal panorama. Useful for a broad yard; not a substitute for planning your mounting position.
Explore the panoramic option
Three use cases, clear trade-offs. These are editorial selections from our six-model shortlist, based on documented features.
Why we picked it: A camera and Zigbee hub in one, with local recognition and physical lens masking. A practical starting point for an Aqara smart home.
Choose something else if you want full-resolution recording in HomeKit: its Secure Video mode uses 1080p.
Why we picked it: The documented 180° horizontal view covers broad areas without motorised movement. Local microSD storage gives a recording option without a required cloud plan.
Choose something else if you need continuous 24/7 recording; this model records motion events.
Why we picked it: Battery and hardwired modes let you match the installation to your doorway. Local recording and package detection are documented without a mandatory cloud subscription.
Choose something else if you need to retain an existing chime while using the continuous-recording mode.
