Altas PT Ultra

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 t

I strongly, strongly recommend against relying on solar/battery and WiFi for security cameras. Even most battery cameras are going to fall short of either security or "insurance" needs. Could you please give me some suggestions for systems that meet or at least come close to meeting our needs? If yo

RLC-810WA or Reolink Duo Floodlight Wi-Fi if you have poor lighting at night/it is pitch black. If you have good lighting at night then CX410W or Reolink Altas PT Ultra, this last if you want the battery backup.

Maintaining a constant wifi connection requires a lot of power and thus if such a camera existed it would need to have a large battery. If you are willing to have a local hub you might want to look at a Reolink Home Hub (NVR) paired with one of their supported battery-powered camera, something like

Tell us how you really feel... The Reolink Altas Ultra PT sounds like a beta that was released to the public as if it were a production unit. I thought only Eufy Security did that.
