This section aims to guide you on how to power on/off different battery-powered cameras. If you happen to be unknown of the on/off method, please scroll down and find the answer you want.
Applies to: All Reolink Battery-powered Cameras.
Three approaches are applied to Reolink battery-powered cameras according to whether the battery is removable.
- Method 1: Remove the Battery
- Method 2: Switch on/off the Power Button
- Method 3: Power on/off the Cameras by Press the Power Button
1. Power on/off the Cameras by Inserting/Removing the Battery
For cameras with a removable battery including Argus 2, Argus Pro, Reolink Go, Reolink Go Plus and Reolink Go Ultra, there is no direct power control button on the camera body to power on/off the camera. But there is a PIR button on the Reolink App, so you can enable/disable the PIR button to make the camera in working mode or standby mode.
2. Power on/off the Cameras by Switching on/off the Camera's Power Button
For the other battery-powered cameras shown below, which have a power switch on the camera body, you could follow two basic steps to power them on/off.
Step 1. Remove the cover on the power switch.
Step 2. Switch it to On/Off. Then secure the cover back.
Below are selected pictures showing where the power switch is on different cameras.
