Reolink Altas PT Ultra

The Reolink Altas PT Ultra is a 4K pan-tilt battery camera with on-board person, vehicle and animal detection and continuous 24/7 recording, without any cloud service. Continuous recording on a battery camera is genuinely unusual, and the one thing to know is that the app polish and notifications trail Ring and Nest.
