Multimedia test of the Reolink Altas PT ultra sold from 379 francs on the web with a solar module.
The packaging is quite bulky. It must be said that it contains not only the imposing camera! but also a fairly substantial 6W solar panel as well as the mounting systems for both parts. Everything seems well finished and invites a quick start

Power on and start the test
When you install the camera on its support and turn the ignition on by activating a small button! the round part rotates on itself. You can then control it remotely in all directions. The use of the camera can begin after a pairing process that it invites you to complete in several languages through the built-in speaker.
All you have to do is scan a QR code to start downloading the mobile application and start the process which involves creating an account with a login and password. The basic process goes smoothly and you are quickly introduced to the webcam’s rather well-designed interface.
A well thought-out alert system
Here! you have to start by starting the alert system which is configurable. It is recommended to use Gmail (with an application password) or Yahoo to receive email alerts in addition to those from the application. The procedure for Gmail is no longer up to date! so a quick Google search put me back on track to initiate the alert system.
Once this is done! it is possible to configure the types of alerts that you wish to receive such as vehicle! person! animal or other. By category! you can draw a zone not to follow to avoid unnecessary alerts: practical and well thought out. In case of emergency! you can activate LEDs to illuminate a scene and sound an alarm. You can also speak to a potential visitor using the loudspeaker.
Still in the “basic options”! you can take a photo or make a small clip on the fly if necessary. By the way! you can also reduce the resolution set to 4K by default. In the options! you can also choose to record the video continuously and delete old sequences.
For the purpose of this test! I made “time-lapses” using different pre-configured options! such as cloud or sunset. You can specify the frame rate and the duration of the sequence to be made. Very well done and very practical. Since the camera is portable! it can allow you to make such very cool sequences!
A favorable assessment
At the time of writing! I can see that the alert system works link building basics and top strategies to get started without a hitch. The image quality is there! including at night! as shown in the sequences opposite. The solar panel! if well positioned! keeps the battery at full capacity when the sun is shining. This should perhaps work even in winter if the weather permits…. In bad weather! however! I notice a rapid drop in the battery.
In the end! I must admit that Reolink Altas PT Ultra this product is very convincing and offers jiangsu mobile phone number list multiple possibilities of use. In particular! I managed to integrate it into Google Home to view images on a Google Nest. Finally! I must admit that the possibility of capturing color images at night is quite breathtaking! Well seen.
