Reolink Altas security camera launches with 10-second pre-recording–see before motion happens
Outdoor cameras play a critical role in your home security system, but continuous recording eats up storage and network bandwidth. Adding motion detection sounds sensible–until you later need to call up a recording and discover it’s missed crucial frames. Imagine being able to go back in time and start the recording sooner. Reolink’s Altas security camera solves exactly this problem with its 10-second pre-recording feature.
There’s more to get excited about here, too: this new security camera from Reolink is innovative and reliable, offers home owners peace of mind, and it comes at a great price point.
Never miss the action
At its core, the Reolink Altas is a 4MP Wi-Fi battery camera designed for seamless home security. A motion sensor triggers video recording, while a 10-second pre-recording feature means all critical moments before motion is detected.
How did that suspected burglar arrive at your property? Did your delivery person drop the parcel before reaching your porch? Well, now you’ll know. The Altas camera can easily distinguish between people, cars, and animals, and sends notifications accordingly.
Crystal clear recordings–even in the dark
Reolink’s Altas security camera captures video in 2560×1440 resolution, which means you’ll get to see all the detail you need, right down to being able to read license plates.
During the night, the Altas camera uses ColorX Night Vision technology and six physical spotlights to ensure crystal-clear color video is captured.
Two-way communication
Another great feature you’ll enjoy with the new Reolink Altas camera is the fact it comes with a built-in mic and speaker, which lets you chat with whoever is outside your home at any time. You can use it as you might a video doorbell, or simply chastise your pups for digging up the garden.
Set-and-forget security solution
With support for Wi-Fi 6 over 2.4- and 5GHz networks, and options for portable power and storage, the Reolink Altas is quick and easy to set up, and it will just carry on doing its thing for up to 18 months. You need to worry about it only when you need to check a recording.
That runtime is based on the assumption the Altas will record around 5 minutes a day, and is powered by its high-capacity 20,000mAh battery. You can alternatively add a 6-watt solar panel (available separately), then never worry about recharging the camera again. As long as you get an hour’s direct sunlight every day, the Altas will draw enough power from the panel.
This is an outdoor security camera, so it’s good to know it’s protected from the elements. The Reolink Altas has an IP66 rating, which means it will adjust to all weather conditions, be that rain or snow, or extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F to 131°F.
You can use a microSD card up to 512GB in capacity for storage, or buy the Reolink Home Hub to unlock support for up to two 512GB microSD cards. Additional options include the Reolink Home Hub Pro, and Reolink WiFi NVR.
