I had the opportunity to thoroughly test the new Reolink AltasA WiFi surveillance camera with very interesting functions And I have to say that my expectations have been satisfied. It is a camera designed to offer Maximum autonomy and total controlAll without extra monthly costs.
From the package you will immediately see the Attention to detail. The dimensions are compact, 126*78*76 mm, and the weight of 554 g makes it solid but not overly cumbersome. The IP66 classification and resistance to atmospheric agents make it perfect for outside installation, even in difficult conditions, durable temperatures from -20 ° C to 55 ° C and humidity from 20% to 85%. The installation was surprising Flexible and simple: It can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and, thanks to the battery -driven power supply and wireless connectivity, requires no wiring Or holes for strength. This is a huge advantage for those who are looking for a practical and fast solution. In my case, because I did not want to install it at a fixed point, I preferred to connect it to a small tripod with articulated arms, so that it was perfectly transmitted and attacked everywhere, all this was possible thanks to the standard attack on the back of the camera that allows the attachment to any standard or tripod. For those who want to attach it to a wall in the package, there are the pieces that make installation possible in a fixed way.
Autonomy that makes you forget the charging
One of the most impressive features of Altas is his 20,000 mAh battery. Reolink explains an autonomy for up to 540 days with a single charge, which is equal to approximately 18 months if you use the movements of movements with 300 seconds registration per day. This lifetime is remarkable and I found it particularly useful for placing the camera in points that are difficult to reach for frequent charging.
Even with the methods of continuous or pre-registration recording, the autonomy is good, although clearly lower: about 28 days to 1fps, 14 days at 3FPS (standard setting) and 8 days on 5 fps. Effective autonomy can vary based on settings, use and temperature, as specified in the technical comments.
But in my opinion the real strong point is the opportunity to combine it with 6W 6W Roolink ZonNeerpaneel 2 Solar Panel. The camera is with the solar panel Always ready. It is enough for about 10 minutes of direct sunlight per day to keep the camera in operation, while for continuous recording and pre-registration the requirement of sunlight varies according to the frame speed: about 30 minutes at 1fps, about 60 minutes (1 hour) at 3FPS and approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) at 5 FPS daily.
This charging capacity ultra-efficient It makes Altas almost completely autonomous for most external installations, a factor that drastically reduces the fear of discharge battery. Charging takes place via a USB Type-C port protected by a lid.
Exceptional day and night view
Video quality is a different aspect in which Reolink Altas stands out. Offers one 2k color vision, day and night. The resolution is of 2560 × 1440 pixel (4 megapixels), capturing sharp details. Even in low lighting conditions, thanks to technology Colorxsucceeds in capturing 2k details with realistic colors. Color night vision is made possible by aWide opening F1.0 and one Image sensor of 1/1.8 “. This combination guarantees an advanced colorx nocturnal vision that illuminates the darkest scenes Without dazzling problemsYou show the colors as if it’s day. The image sensor is one 1/1.8 “CMOS”.
Il Visual Field It is sufficient for the supervision of large areas: 110 ° diagonal, 90 ° horizontal and 50 ° vertical, with a 4 mm fixed lens. The camera supports video compression H.264/H.265 and offers a frame speed of up to 15 fps. With the registration settings for continuous/pre-registration you can choose between 1, 3 (standard) and 5FPS.
Intelligent detection and pre-registration
The functionality of Intelligent detection to It is essential to prevent false alarms. Altas is able to distinguish and inform yourself of detection of People, vehicles and animalsall without hidden extra costs. The detection of the movement is activated by the PIR sensor, which has an adjustable range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) and a horizontal field of vision of 100 °.
But what makes this camera really unique is the Intelligent pre-registry. Instead of just recording when the PIR sensor is activated, the altas are First record a maximum of 10 seconds (standard) that the movement is detected. This duration is also adjustable from 2 to 20 seconds. This means that you never lose an important moment and that is possible Record the entire series of the event. The recording methods include continuous registration, registration activated by the movement and pre-registration.
Modern connectivity and flexible storage
Connectivity is guaranteed by Dual-Band WiFi 6. This network standard offers Higher speeds and wider coverage Compared to the previous standards, to guarantee a connection fluent and stable Also thanks to anti-interference technology. It supports both the 2.4 GHz frequencies and 5 GHz and the IEEE 802.11 A/B/G/AC/AX Wireless Standard. It also has Bluetooth V5.0. Wireless security includes WPA/WPA2/WPA3. It supports various network protocols such as SSL, TCP/IP, UDP, UPNP, SMTP, NTP, P2P.
In terms of storage, Altas offers Local storage. Supports the use of a MicroSD -card up to 512 GB To save the videos. As an alternative, or moreover, it is compatible with the Reolink Home Hub/Home Hub Pro. Also supports Reolink Cloud, although availability is limited to selected countries. The ability to save on MicroSD locally, without being exclusively dependent on cloud subscriptions, is a point that is in accordance with the absence of monthly costs for the most important characteristics.
Extra functions and control via app
With the cable car includes a Bidirectional audioMade possible by the integrated microphone and speaker. This allows you to listen to what is happening and talking through the camera.
Supports the Smart Home Integration and is completely compatible with Google Assistant E Alexa For vocal control and integration in existing ecosystems for home automation.
I thought theApp Reolink A really well -made tool for Check each aspect From the camera. This allows you to remain connected to your home or activity anytime and anywhere. The app is available for smartphones (iOS and Android) and there is also a PC client for Windows and MacOS. User access supports a maximum of 12 simultaneous streaming (2 head and 10 secondary).
Other interesting functions include the Course of timeUseful for recording long periods in accelerated videos. The camera has an integrated spotlight, a PIR sensor and various visible elements such as the antenna, the CDs (probably a light sensor), the covered microSD slot, the Type-C covered, an on / off button with a state indicator and a reset button.
Conclusions
