Reolink\u2019s new Altas PT Ultra is the company\u2019s first battery-powered security camera that is capable of all-day continuous recording. It doesn\u2019t need power access, so it can be installed almost anywhere, and since it captures 4K video to a microSD card instead of the cloud, there are fewer security risks<\/a> and no subscription fees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are already many battery-powered security cameras that streamline installation, but they\u2019re limited by small batteries that can\u2019t record for more than a day<\/a> before needing a charge. Reolink\u2019s Altas PT Ultra\u2019s solution to that problem is a built-in 20,000mAh battery the company says has enough power to record for 12 hours per day for up to eight days or four days when recording nonstop around the clock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Having to charge the camera every week does negate some of the convenience of it being battery-powered, but through desktop and mobile apps, the Altas PT Ultra can be programmed to only capture video when motion is detected by its passive infrared sensor, or on a specific schedule, to extend its battery life. When set to its \u201cstandard working mode,\u201d Reolink says the camera can run for up to 16 months on a single charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For consumers with more demanding recording needs, Reolink does sell an optional six-watt solar panel accessory that can be mounted near the camera. The company says that a 10-minute charge from the solar panel is enough to power the camera for 24 hours, while a full day of charging can extend the battery life to 120 days, but that\u2019s dependent on what features are being used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Video is captured at 4K at 15fps through a wide-angle lens, but the Altas PT Ultra can pan its camera 355 degrees horizontally and tilt it 90 degrees vertically, allowing it to track and keep moving subjects in-frame during a recording. It also features full-color night vision capabilities, two-way audio with a built-in speaker and microphone, and support for Wi-Fi 6, allowing footage from a 512GB microSD card to be streamed from the camera over a wireless network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reolink has also announced the company\u2019s first battery-powered smart doorbell. Like the Altas PT Ultra security camera, it captures footage locally to a microSD card up to 256GB in size, so there are no subscription fees for storing recordings in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Installation doesn\u2019t require any wires, but the doorbell can be connected to wiring for continuous power delivery or to use it with existing door chimes. On a full charge, the company estimates the doorbell\u2019s 7,000mAh battery will keep it running for up to five months with \u201ctypical usage,\u201d but if you\u2019ve got a busy neighborhood constantly triggering motion-detected recordings, that could be significantly less.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Video is recorded at 2K at 15fps but in a perfectly square aspect ratio, ensuring the doorbell\u2019s wide-angle camera captures visitors from head to toe, including delivered packages on a front porch. It also has two-way audio communications with a speaker and microphone and Wi-Fi for streaming video to its desktop or mobile app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both the Reolink Altas PT Ultra and Battery Doorbell will be available for sale starting on September 25th, with pricing details to be revealed at that time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
