  • Reolink Altas PT Ultra: The powerful 4K battery-powered surveillance camera in a test

    A man points to security camera equipment, featuring a Reolink Altas PT Ultra camera, solar panel, and hub, with a backyard pool and patio area in the background. The Reolink logo is displayed on the left. www.commaik.de

    The Reolink Altas PT Ultra is an impressive surveillance camera that I tested in my latest project. With 4K resolution, ColorX night vision and 360° auto-tracking, it offers powerful functions for outdoor use. In comparison to the Reolink TrackMix PoE and the RLC-1212A, I examined the image quality during the day, at night and at dusk and found interesting differences. In this article, I describe my installation procedure, how the cameras work and which models are particularly suitable for certain areas of application.

    Reolink NVR device on a gray background with large "Reolink NVR" text above it; a hand can be seen in the background installing a hard drive inside the Reolink security system. www.commaik.de

    To monitor my property, I had set up a camera surveillance system. Nine Hikvison and Trendnet cameras monitored every nook and cranny on the site. The data was stored on a QNAP NAS. The system ran cleanly and stably – but also at the capacity limit. The amount of data from the cameras was simply too large and I had to think about how to future-proof my surveillance system. I therefore decided to set up a Reolink camera system and store the data on an NVR, a network video recorder. In this post I show you how I went about it.
