Reolink Go Ranger PT Review and Comparison to Keen Ranger PT & Go PT Ultra

I tested the Keen Ranger PT extensively in 2022. Since then, I have been using the Keen continuously and was excited to see the successor model.
Now the successor is on the market: the Go Ranger PT. The main features include 4K video quality, animal species recognition and, of course, the familiar non-illuminating infrared LEDs.
In the review video, we take a look at "What's new, what's changed" in a direct comparison between the Keen Ranger and Go Ranger, the video quality by day and night, a comparison of the video quality of the Go Ranger compared to the Keen Ranger and the Go PT Ultra. We also take a look at some new features in the software. In particular, the alarm duration and trigger interval as well as animal species recognition and snapshots.
The question of all questions: Is it worth updating the Keen or even buying a new one? In principle, everyone has to answer this question for themselves and, of course, it ultimately depends on your budget. I am impressed by the 4K quality, the camouflage pattern, the new bracket and the many other small innovations.
My only criticism is the video quality at night. This applies not only to the new Go Ranger PT, but also to the other PIR cameras from Reolink. There is definitely still a lot of room for improvement here. Let's see what the future brings ;-)

Looks like the image on the Go ranger PT is just more digitally sharpened.

[@ColtAlbplimbariendurosinatura]

hello, do you have any idea if it is visible in night mode with the white circle on the edge in any position I put it, I tried it with another phone, the application is updated, it is the second camera I buy and it does the same. ?

[@Zincer]

Do you mean the beige ring around the lens on the outside? This is only a design color and does not affect the camera. Do you mean a white ring/ veil during live streaming or recording at night? This could be a dirty lens or an IR reflection. Clean the lens and move the camera away from reflective surfaces (such as a white wall). If you liked my video, please subscribe for future updates 😊

Super video, vielen Dank! Kann man beim Go Ranger PT auch über die App die Sitauation beobachten, ohne dass eine Bewegungsmeldung die Aufzeichnung ausgelöst hat?

[@Zincer]

Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat. Lass gern ein Abo und ein Like da 😊 Natürlich, du kannst jederzeit über die Reolink App auf die Go Ranger PT zugreifen und streamen.

@@Zincer Vielen Dank für die Info. Abo und Like natürlich platziert.

What is the minimum focus distance of Reolink Go Ranger PT? I looking for battery camera with motion sensor for bird feeder on approximately 20-30 cm distance to the camera. Does this camera will produce clear image on this short distance?

[@Zincer]

No, 20-30 cm are far too close.

[@RXRMercedes]

Hello, up to what distance does it detect people and larger animals, I am interested in a cabin on a mountain top, where the signal is on digi 4G only two lines, and the cabin is positioned somewhere at a distance of 23 m and I want to know if it detects at a distance as I said, and if it is possible at night detect and see the man at this distance and of course if he can see, and during the winter the temperatures reach up to -17 degrees! I am waiting for your answer if it was suitable for me or not, and if the answer is no, I want you to tell me another model that can help me, many!

[@Zincer]

The Go Ranger PT is a PIR camera. The infrared sensor is specified with a range of 10 meters. This means that people and animals can trigger the sensor up to 10 meters and the alarm is triggered and recorded. During the day in my tests it even managed up to 12 meters without any problems. At night, the IR visibility range is approx. 10 meters. Temperatures down to -15 degrees were no problem for the camera in my regions. According to Reolink, -10 degrees Celsius is specified.

[@Craterus123]

which model is better for security camera usage ? No power present

[@Zincer]

That depends on your needs? If there is no power, then it goes in the direction of the battery camera. The Keen as well as the Ranger have the advantage of the invisible infrared. Then you can install the camera face down. If it should go in the direction of colored night vision, then I recommend the new Argus 4 Pro.

[@Craterus123]

@@Zincer You think that Argus 4 pro will have better battery for security purposes ? Is it possible to mount solar panel on it ? Thanks !

[@Zincer]

Yes and the PIR sensor reacts much faster. Yes, no problem at all with the solar panel V2 from Reolink.
