Just something about its look that bugs me LOL I just don’t like it. I really like my tracks cameras I had a crew of about eight guys doing concrete work at my house. It was so much fun watching the camera trying to keep track of the same guy LOL. As for apple it doesn’t bother me and I don’t use the Google feature. I received this camera a few days ago and so far it’s doing good. But out of my nine reolink cams I like my PT AUTRA PTZ a bit more and my track cameras second. Someone mentioned that wish these cams came in black well in one area I didn’t like the white it just stuck out too much. Rather than painting it I used some grey duck tape to give two of them a grey and white cameo look. That was about three months ago and the Gorilla tape is still sticking in place. Nice Review as always Thank You
No Zoom so not a PTZ camera. Still waiting for a ColorX with zoom. I didn't like the design at first but I've warmed up to it. Practically they've done a good job at getting everything into it including the 20,000mAh battery. Would personally prefer cables and connections to be on the top away from potentially being pulled out if installed within reach but for weather proofing I understand why they would do that.
The “zoom” on these cameras is always a gray area. It’s not an optical zoom, but at 4K, it’s a pretty decent digital zoom. So not a proper “PTZ”, but close. But I’m with you, ColorX with a proper zoom would be awesome. The star of the show with this one is definitely the battery….& yes I agree about the connections, but you are also correct as to the reason they did what they did. Like I said in the video, not my favorite design of theirs, but still a great camera.
How does it compare to the Trackmix? I have a few trackmix cameras now, both wireless and wired, which are my favourite so far. I like the dual lens function and the solid build.
This camera has a few features the Trackmix doesn’t have. But I personally like the Trackmix more than the Altas. Mostly because of what you mentioned, the dual lens & the build quality.
Awesome. Scrypted is a great option for Reolink. But when I make these videos, I'm speaking to the masses and a large percentage have no idea what Scrypted is.
I hate companies like Apple and Microsoft invading our privacy. This camera not having Apple involved sounds like a good thing so long as they keep Google out of our privacy too?
I'm not talking about Reolink when I say this, but I'd be more worried about the camera brand invading your privacy than I would be Apple, Microsoft and Google.
Looks like a game changer if the hardware doesn't suck/fail in bad weather (the limitations noted by Reolink are kind of disappointing temp-wise). Motion detection mode with pre-record = genuine footage (not just shots of the bad guys ass as he runs away with your stuff) and months without charging. So awesome.
Hey George, like always a great video keep up the great work. When it comes to cameras, their POE cameras I like the most. But like you know, Apple home support for me. That’s a big downfall.
There are a couple reasons cameras are usually white (these companies do market research to determine colors). 1. White is the most neutral for aesthetics. 2. (Most important to me) white is the best color for deterrent purposes. It’s a good thing for it to be conspicuous. It deters thieves. I say it all the time…you have no idea how many times a camera system pays for itself by deterring something that you didn’t even know was going to happen.
Hi George. I just picked up a Reolink 16 channel 12 mp ultra HD 8 camera pro grade wired system from Costco. 4 TB. Is this still considered comsumer grade( Even though there advertising Pro grade) Your thoughts on it please Thank You Greg
Yes, that is still consumer grade. If you notice, I only talk about their WiFi cameras. I like their WiFi stuff, but I’m not a fan of their Wired NVR systems.

Continuous recording locally with a battery camera in 4k is pretty neat, I like that they include the optional solar panel
Indeed. They've packed this one with some pretty cool specs.

Spin up scrypted, and get HomeKit integration, Thats what I did for my ReoLink Doorbell.

Hey George excellent tutorial. Yes it needs Apple Home
Thanks! Someday….

Agreed on all counts. I’ll be keeping it in action through the fall/winter see how it goes.

I'm not an Apple fanboy so this sounds great. Although I would like an optional color of black. It would make it less conspicuous at night.

What are your thoughts on Arlo security systems . . Appreciate your opinion . . Thanks
Arlo is kind of an antique at this point. They aren’t really relevant anymore.
Nice camera. Thanks for your review.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!
