Even though summer is officially over, we still have the pleasure of enjoying some beautiful fall days. At the beginning of September, at the IFA 2024 event in Berlin, the new Reolink video surveillance camera, the Altas PT Ultra, was presented. And today I want to introduce you to this new camera model that I’ve found I simply love. Those of you who have been following me for a while now may know that, over the past year, I have installed several Reolink video surveillance cameras to increase my home security. The Altas PT Ultra has become part of the family.
Because of its spectacular performance in low light and true full-color night vision, this video surveillance camera model from Reolink has become extremely sought-after. The Reolink Altas PT Ultra Camera has made its appearance at the mariushosting residence at the beginning of September 2024. Since then, I have had the opportunity to test this camera extensively in my environment, without any issue, and I can attest it’s a key product for a reliable surveillance system environment. The price of the Reolink Altas PT Ultra camera is 278 EUR or about $278, with a 10% discount available right now on the official website.

Reolink Altas PT Ultra Solar Panel
Reolink’s 6-watt solar panel ensures your Reolink Altas PT Ultra stays charged with minimal sunlight. Just 10 minutes of solar panel charging can power the camera for 24 hours while one day of charging extends the battery life further to 120days, all based on the camera standard working mode.
All Recordings Stored Locally & Securely
Reolink Altas PT Ultra offers multiple local storage options with no monthly fee. It is compatible with microSD cards up to 512GB and the Reolink Home Hub and its Pro version, which supports up to 16TB and adds RTSP support. This range of local storage approaches enhances security, minimizing the risk of data loss and safeguarding privacy. Besides, by utilizing the H.265 coding format, the camera records high-quality 4K footage while reducing file sizes, allowing more recordings to be stored without sacrificing clarity.
Built-in Microphone and Speaker
With the help of the built-in microphone and speaker, you can talk through your Reolink camera when you are away using the Reolink app on your phone. You can have real-time conversation between you and anyone near the camera.
Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 Network
Equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi 6 technology, the Altas PT Ultra establishes a new benchmark in wireless connectivity for seamless 4K streaming, improved stability and lower latency. Users don’t need to spend minutes on buffering video footage. One tap on the Reolink mobile app for instant and fluent live view and video playback experience.
All-Around Security with Smart Detection; No Monthly Fees
Reolink Altas PT Ultra boasts unparalleled control with 355° horizontal and 90° vertical rotation, delivering a blind spot-free view for comprehensive monitoring. This camera supports on-board person, vehicle and animal detection, allowing users to get notified only by motion events that they truly care about. Even better, this feature does not require a monthly subscription. Users can also set up guard points and enable auto-tracking features, thus ensuring constant awareness of activities around the property.
Real-time Monitoring, Instant Access
Reolink Altas PT Ultra ensures comprehensive security with real-time monitoring and instant access. It provides multiple notifications via push alerts and email, keeping users informed of any activity. The live feed can be viewed anytime and anywhere, with only a few taps or clicks on the Reolink App or Client.
4K UHD Continuous Recording
With a next-gen SoC built in, Reolink Altas PT Ultra goes beyond traditional standards and captures the moments even before an event actually happens. This adds another layer of security as users will never miss a truly important moment. When pre-record is enabled, the Altas PT Ultra camera enters a standby & decoding mode. Once its PIR motion sensor is triggered, the camera starts recording while the cached pre-record video footage will be written into the footage. An innovative way to ensure the whole event is recorded and solve the issue brought by PIR-triggered delays.
4K UHD ColorX Night Vision
Day & Night color night vision without spotlights/IR LEDs on Reolink’s industry-leading ColorX technology brings night time scenes to life, surpassing other types of night vision. Featuring a reliable combination of ultra-large F1.0 aperture lens and an 1/1.8’’ sensor, Reolink Altas PT Ultra captures 4 times more light than normal IR cameras, revealing sharp details even in the dimmest nights, without the need to turn up the spotlights or IR lights.
