Reolink Altas PT Ultra

The Reolink Altas cameras are also extremely impressive and continuous recording from a battery powered camera seemed impossible just a few years ago, but Reolink has pulled it off. Other than continuous recording, some other reasons you might choose the Reolink Altas series over the eufy S3 Pro is if you wanted to have a mix of wired and battery powered Reolink cameras that can all use the same app, if you want pan and tilt on your camera, if you’re planning on using your cameras with Home Assistant, or if you specifically want to use the desktop based Reolink app, which works great with both the standalone mode and the Home Hub. In addition to the continuous recording of the Altas in standalone mode it had excellent notification speed and good video quality, but I’m disappointed that it wasn’t able to work without the internet without being connected to the Home Hub. Overall, the performance and reliability in terms of live view and downloading footage was also much better when using the wired hub, not to mention the awesome Home Assistant integration that’s only available for battery cameras when connecting through the hub.
