You can choose to have a screen capture included in email alerts. Reolink requires that you provide the sender email address (yours) as well as up to three recipient email addresses (which have to include your own, if you wish to receive notifications). Setting up email notifications is more complex than simply checking the option to receive emails and providing your email address. We received almost no false alerts from the Argus 2 with sensitivity set to medium. The alarm, which is part of the camera's hardware, isn't very loud, though, and can't be heard beyond the room in which the camera is located. When the camera detects motion, you can set it to sound an alarm, send an email and/or record video. As with our daytime videos, our outdoor night videos in both modes were more pixelated than our indoor night videos.

The second "Skylight" night-vision mode captures remarkably vivid color video and better exposure than the IR night vision, provided there is some ambient light - such as that from a full moon or from streetlights. Colors in both indoor and outdoor daylight videos shot by the Reolink Argus 2 were bright and accurate, but our indoor clips were sharper. When she was walking toward our camera from about 20 feet away, her face was clearly discernible, but it became overexposed when she came close to the camera. In our outdoor IR videos, the exposure was uneven.

In our indoor IR videos, the person's face was discernible, even in a nearly pitch-black room. The traditional infrared night vision, which uses six IR LEDs, captured soft black-and-white video that tended to be pixelated, especially in our outdoor tests. The Argus 2 has two night-vision modes, which the user chooses in settings.
