Reolink Altas PT Ultra
Idéal pour : Idéal pour qui veut un enregistrement continu sans câblage PoE dans une zone bien exposée au soleil, à condition d'accepter l'absence de détection intelligente.
En bref : Le consensus Reddit met en avant l'Altas PT Ultra comme la seule caméra sur batterie citée par les utilisateurs comme capable d'un enregistrement quasi continu, mais la vision nocturne est jugée décevante et la caméra ne propose pas de détection intelligente, contrairement aux modèles filaires de la marque.
Au-delà de ce modèle, la marque Reolink (toutes gammes) recueille 70 % d'avis positifs sur 290 utilisateurs Reddit. Ce signal marque ne compte pas dans la note du modèle ci-dessus.
Points forts
Point fort selon Reddit : avec un panneau solaire 12W la caméra peut tourner en continu, mais l'autonomie chute nettement en hiver ou après plusieurs jours sans soleil.
6 2
« After buying the new 12 panel almost 3 months ago the camera's battery never gets below 90%. »
« The reolink Altas Pt Ultra is the only camera in the market, that I'm aware of, that is battery powered and that can record 24/7 to some degree. »
« If you're only doing PIR motion triggered recording and have continuous recording turned off then it should last a really long time. »
Points faibles
Les utilisateurs rappellent qu'une caméra solaire reste en retrait par rapport à une caméra filaire PoE et nécessite une bonne couverture wifi ; un cas de lenteur au chargement des enregistrements a aussi été signalé.

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Just installed one yesterday. I am hoping the 6W solar will be okay. It is in a south facing direction with exposure to the sun all day. Also, there is lots of light from a street lamp so I have the spotlight off. I am only doing event recording as well. I will be interested in seeing if this camera will stay on if it gets really cold, like below zero, my current ones do not. This is a heavy camera and the mount only had 2 holes. I mounted this on a vinyl siding mount plate. I would need 3 inch screws to get into any wood, so I drilled a third hole, and added another screw.

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis You can have the camera's spotlight on if you want to. I didn't test that since I wouldn't use that mode, so I don't know how much faster it would drain it. It only has auto mode under light settings, which I believe will leave the light on all the time, *really* draining the battery: [https://i.imgur.com/8ln5v1b.png](https://i.imgur.com/8ln5v1b.png)
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis I agree about the 12W panel being standard. Not so much about IR though, unless if maybe it only turned on upon motion detection. Having the IR on 24/7 for the continuous recording would be too draining. I do agree that IR along with CX is a great combo. I don't have a CX410C, but I am testing an upcoming camera that has it and it's very nice. >Why buy/sell a camera and not use all of its features? Because for some people that might be the only way to keep it alive. Continuous recording at 3fps is better than no continuous recording because the battery is dead. Plus, smart battery mode being on is the default setting and I like to do all my testing with default settings for consistent results. Maybe I'll do another test run but with smart battery mode off just so I can see how much it's actually saving. I assume you live somewhere where you get a decent amount of sun and it's not cold in the winter? Even with the 12W solar panel I wouldn't be able to do continuous recording in the winter. Not only can we go weeks with no sun, but we can also go weeks without it getting above freezing. A 12W panel might as well be no solar panel when it never goes above 25F for a month straight. Hell, even in the summer I can go 4 days without sun, which is what happened here in my week 1 test. 4 days without sun and the battery is dead. 12W panel wouldn't have helped there.
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis If you're only doing PIR motion triggered recording and have continuous recording turned off then it should last a really long time. It's supposed to last over a year in that mode. I've had a different camera of theirs last 3 months without a charge over the winter, and that had a battery 1/4 the size of this.
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis The audio quality continues the trend of not being great. It's better than some of the recent ones, but nowhere near as good as ones like the Trackmix, or the 1224A, which has the best audio out of any of my currently installed cams. It doesn't have the new smart event detection features, even in standalone mode. I even temporarily removed it from my HHP to check.
r/reolinkcam · Argus 4 Pro review and comparisons No you cannot. The only battery camera that can record 24/7 is the Altas PT Ultra. They're going to be coming out with POE and wifi CX cameras that are in the same body as the Argus 4, you will probably want to wait for that. You can see them on display at their IFA booth last Fall here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/1faky74/ifa\_berlin\_2024\_reolink\_impressions/](https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/1faky74/ifa_berlin_2024_reolink_impressions/) And if you're on Facebook they teased them again at CES last week: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/reolink/posts/1637002700533600/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/reolink/posts/1637002700533600/)

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis If having IR on every night 7 days a week would be too draining for the Altas 20000mah battery, then I guess IR isn't an option at this time. Having all the battery savings features on the Altus is nice if they can keep the battery charged enough so you don't have to pull the camera down and charge it with AC. But with my experience with the 6W panels, even the battery savings feature were not enough to keep the battery charged. The battery savings features only delayed the inevitable. I always eventually needed to bring the camera indoors and charge it in the house anyway. Maybe I could extend the need for AC charging from 4 days to 6 days, but why bother. I just used the camera with all its features fully enabled. But the 12w panel has fixed all that. Will have to see how it goes in the winter though. I could see myself once again having to AC charge the battery if there extended days of rain/clouds. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Reolink could have knocked it out of the park if they added IR to the new Altas. Like the Cx410C. From day one I have refused to knee cap my Altas PT Ultra by using the Smart Battery mode and other battery savings settings. Why buy/sell a camera and not use all of its features? After buying the new 12 panel almost 3 months ago the camera's battery never gets below 90%. I can't believe Reolink continues to sell the Altas with the 6W panel as a package. They should dump the 6W and replace all their Altas packages with the 12W panel.

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Thank you, this was a question I was wondering, I was looking for something for the backyard but I feel i would be disappointed with this quality compared to my cx820 or duo2 . I was thinking of the track mix poe would be the way to go. Running cables is a bit of a pain but winter gets very cold and dark.

r/homesecurity · Best wireless outdoor cameras without subscriptions Thank you for the advise. I will also lookup the reviews from The Hookup. The Altas Ultra is great but I think it is lacking an IR sensor so the spotlights would only go on when movement would be detected like on the Argus Track. I will for sure send the Track back because it has no pre recording. and no 24/7 recording is possible.

r/homesecurity · Best wireless outdoor cameras without subscriptions The reolink Altas Pt Ultra is the only camera in the market, that I'm aware of, that is battery powered and that can record 24/7 to some degree. Any other wireless camera can't record 24/7, they just record motion/detection events. IMO, for a battery powered camera there is no better solution than the Altas PT Ultra as of today. Bear in mind that the reolink Altas Pt Ultra is a color night vision camera, and as any other color night vision camera, it requires very good lighting at night to perform well. That's just how color night vision cameras work. If you want to increase the performance at night then add more lighting at night. A step up from what you have would be the CX410W, you need to plug it in the power outlet of course. It is not wireless. It is 4 MP, though, but the MP to CMOS sensor ratio is better. That is still a color night vision camera by the way, so yes you need good lighting at night. If everything is very dark and you can't or don't want to put more lighting then switch to a IR nightvision camera instead. Something like the 810WA or Reolink Trackmix Wi-Fi version. But do note Reolink IR cameras suffer at night with objects in movement, so to improve that you can add external IR floodlights (or more normal lighting). Also note that battery powered cameras or wireless or Wi-Fi pluged to some degree also perform worse than PoE cameras. If you want to step up your camera game then you would need to switch to PoE. IMO, for Wi-Fi, Reolink and Eufy have the best Wi-Fi cameras. But Reolink is still the best for me since Eufy has had security issues in the past and I've heard some pop up ads as of lately in some USA states... so I have stopped recommending it for now. All Ubiquiti cameras perform badly both in day time and night time. They are extremely overpriced. It does make sense to have them as you are in an Ubiquiti environment but don't expect too much...

r/SecurityCamera · WiFi and solar security cameras. For install-and-forget solar, I would lean toward the [Reolink Altas PT Ultra](https://featherab.com/shopit?q=Reolink%2BAltas%2BPT%2BUltra%2Bsolar%2BWiFi%2Bsecurity%2Bcamera) with a larger solar panel, tbh, mainly because battery capacity and panel size matter more than headline resolution. I ran a solar camera in a shaded spot before, and the failure point was never the app first, it was the battery slowly losing ground after a few cloudy days. The [Eufy S340](https://featherab.com/shopit?q=Eufy%2BS340%2Bsolar%2Bsecurity%2Bcamera%2Bdual%2Blens%2Btracking) has strong detection features, but if you already expect low ambient light, plan on weaker color night performance unless there is some nearby light. I would avoid tiny included panels and budget for upgraded solar panels from day one.

r/homesecurity · Best wireless outdoor cameras without subscriptions A lot of battery-first cameras tend to cut corners on night vision because they’re trying to save power. Even when you wire them in, you’re stuck with the same limited IR setup they shipped with. That’s why your Altas PT Ultra still looks underwhelming at night. For 24/7 powered use, you really want something that’s marketed as a true security cam with decent IR or something with color night vision, not a battery cam that can be plugged in. Since you’re already in the Ubiquiti ecosystem, the G6 Instant could be a smoother fit for management and storage, but it’s more of an entry model. Night vision is passable but not standout. For night clarity, it’s worth checking if they have models with a starlight vision or [color night vision](https://onlinehairguide.com/dp-B0DG31JBFQVS) (normally advertised) in your price bracket. Otherwise, you’ll run into the same frustrations. Those are powered cameras designed for 24/7 use, not just stretched battery cams[.]( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DG31JBFQ)

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Thanks for the reply. Definitely a camera I'm looking at.
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Your review came right on time. Living in Montreal Canada we do have many days that drop below zero degrees Celsius which is 32° f that being said during the winter months I don't think I'd even be trading water if my intention was continuous recording. In other modes the camera Mayfair better during the coldest winter months but if charging stops completely at 0° c for a week or more even that maybe an issue if I was just using motion activated recording. I'll have to do more investigation.

r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis Thanks for the feedback. So the smart event detections are solely available on poe and plugin wifi. You are doing a great job using your precious time to assist others.
r/reolinkcam · Reolink Altas mini review and a real world battery drain/solar charge analysis The highlight of this camera is mainly the battery capacity which allows continuous recording provided there is sufficient direct sunlight on the 6W panel. How about the audio quality? How this compares to the audio we hear through the Trackmix? Being a new cameras, it is assumed that they added the smart event detection. But so far these features have not been added to HHP/NVR and so such camera has to operated in standalone mode. Really pity. Personally I would have added IR lights which hopefully will shall see in the new CX products.

Questions fréquentes
Cette caméra peut-elle enregistrer en continu comme une caméra filaire ?
Oui, selon les utilisateurs Reddit c'est le principal argument de l'Altas PT Ultra : c'est la seule caméra batterie citée comme capable d'un enregistrement quasi continu, à condition d'avoir un panneau solaire suffisant.
La vision nocturne est-elle performante ?
Non, c'est le point faible le plus cité : sans capteur infrarouge, la caméra a besoin d'un bon éclairage ambiant la nuit et plusieurs utilisateurs la trouvent en retrait par rapport à d'autres modèles Reolink.
L'autonomie tient-elle en hiver ?
Les retours sont mitigés : même avec un panneau solaire 12W, des utilisateurs rapportent une batterie à plat après plusieurs jours sans soleil ou par grand froid, alors qu'en mode détection simple l'autonomie peut dépasser un an.
Propose-t-elle une détection intelligente (personnes, véhicules) ?
Non, selon le consensus Reddit, l'Altas PT Ultra n'a pas ces fonctions de détection intelligente et fonctionne uniquement en mode autonome basique.
Had home hub pro, but I send it back and took NVR rln8 410. It's the same but the nvr is superior to home hub pro. Home hub is like for WiFi battery only camera, although I used my own mesh WiFi, so the WiFi of the home hub is useless. Also I had a problem with the recording of altas PT ultra, I don't know if it was faulty from factory, the recording took ages to load that's the fault. As I am adding more poe cameras i choose the nvr is way better for Poe(the home hub pro need Poe switch the NVR not) also the cameras management on TV the NVR is perfect had all the settings and preview of recording, the home hub pro has nothing, only live view. For that I have chosen the NVR. The home hub pro is for those who wanted a nice looking camera router, and bell making sounds (the fun is that when I have this feature on it was so annoying if you feel it free with notifications and you have animals detected all time :)) so this feature also no need for me. The best feature that it has is the device integration, but it needs to add more choices, Also home assistant integration is far more superior. My opinion If you have only battery/solar powered cameras I think it's the way to go , if not better stick to NVRs
