Reolink4K Security Camera Outdoor Wireless Altas PT Ultra+Solar Panel, 20000mAh Rechargeable Battery, F1.0, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi 6, 355°Pan & 90°Tilt, Smart Detection, Support up to 512GB microSD Card

Really clear video, love the subject tracking feature - this surely must be a good burglar deterrent if they can see the camera following them around. Haven’t seen any evidence of battery charge issues, the solar panel is keeping the camera charged to 100% in February on a north facing aspect. Really happy with it so far.

The camera works well (but I have only had it a couple of weeks) and it is summer so its charging OK. I dont know how it will hold up during winter . I bought it to go with an existing Reolink camera system and NVR. The camera has connected to the NVR but it was quite a lot of effort and on reflection probably wqasnt worth doing. It worked just as well (if not better) as a stand alone item.

Hardware easy to fit with templates provided. Easy connection to wifi. Does what it is advertised to do.

I have over a dozen other Reolink cameras over several properties and whilst on the whole they have been fanntastic some have failed after a couple of years. I didn't need to worry as Reolink replaced them no fuss or arguments and they now work perfectly again..........This Camera was received very quickly. It was a replacement for a Argus4 pro that failed when thin weeks of being installed.Set up was easy and it connected to my wifi easily. Unfortunately it doesn't stay connected and can struggle to reconnect, this may be my WiFi but the other cameras installed are fine.The daytime picture when working is clear, unfortunately the colorX night time image is a really weird yellow hue, it is still clear and focused but a bit too yellow. I know this isn't how it's supposed to be as my other colorX cameras give a daytime like appearance even in the dark. It's not a deal breaker and definitely better than the black and white images you usually get at night.The battery unfortunately is very very poor. A side by side comparison with my other Reolink battery solar colorX camera shows that side by side from 100% charge, the Altas Ultra is now at 24% whereas the Argus4 pro is at 76%. They're looking at exactly the same thing, same settings, solar not plugged in to either at the moment as I wanted to see how long they would run for on the same settings but the Altas Ultra is eating it's battery and considering it's supposed to have a massive 20,000mah battery it's very poor and is being slaughtered by the smaller battery Argus4 Pro. (During a rare couple of sunny winter days the Argus 4 pro is at 100% but the Altus Ultra is at 19%. They are both charging/showing solar input)The battery currently is on Red for Altas Ultra and nearly full on Argus4Pro when started at same time at 100% charge and same settings now with the solar panels plugged in.Customer service have accepted my findings and comments about the battery drain and solar input. They acknowledged that the 6w panel wasn't enough to power the unit in darker winter months.Reolink have informed me they are selling a 12w solar panel from summer 2025 ( original 6w), they will send me one to try if it helps with the battery loss during the winter months but I think the battery drain is just too much on the Altas Ultra for some reason and the 20,000mah battery doesn't balance out the loss/solar charge unfortunately in dull UK weather.Also the batteries don't operate well in the cold 🥶 like all batteries, so this is also a problem that can't really be fixed without moving somewhere sunny and warm.I'm sure in the UK summer it'll be fine and work as expected, but winter is a different matter. They can be plugged in via USB-C cable to keep them powered but that kinda defeats the point of a battery solar camera. Roll on summer to test my theory.If Reolink provide the 12w panel and it solves the battery drain problem then this would be a 5* review for both the camera and the Reolink team.Update,Reolink have asked me to change this review to at least 4* they have also said they have dispatched a 12w solar panel to me. As of yet nothing has been received and no reply to my messages chasing it. If it carries on this way the review will be back at 1*.....After nothing turning up I contacted Reolink, they initially said they hadn't sent any 12w panels as they hadn't got any, they then changed their mind and said they did try to send one but all the stock had been used up. So still no panel as promised, this isn't looking good 😕Back to 1* unfortunately as without the correct charging it is next to useless.

The camera is really good all around (but does have some software limitations), however, the solar panel is way too weak to charge it (it's been stuck at 50% for a week or two now), even though it gets a lot of sun throughout the day.Firstly, if anyone is having an issue getting it to read their micro SD cards (especially if it's over 32GB), you need to ensure it's formatted as FAT32. This is a problem, as Windows won't let you use the FAT32 format if it's over 32GB - you will need to download an app called "FAT32 Format".Regarding the limitations, as my camera covers a small section of my neighbour's garden, I set his garden as "do not detect motion in this area." This prevents it from starting a recording due to motion in the area, however, the camera detected him walking from his car into his garden and turned and tracked him inside the "do not detect" area. He saw it following him and freaked out about it—turns out the software doesn't take this into account when tracking.It turns out that even if you set a privacy mask, it doesn't keep track of where it should be when moving the camera, so the place you have blocked off ends up being uncovered.I have ended up having to permanently disable the tracking.Lastly, I can't figure out how the "permanent recording" is meant to work, as even though I've enabled it, it only records motion-activated events - for clarity, I have a 512GB SD card in it, as well as having it connected to the Reolink Home Hub.
