Update:Reolink reached out to me to address the issue. Fantastic support they've provided. 5 stars for their support. As it is right now 4 stars for the camera, as it was probably a bit unfair to compare its performance to a wall powered and Ethernet connected camera, while failing to point out the benefits it brings. Perhaps a future update will further improve its performance and I will update accordingly.As much as possible I avoid having to drill holes or have any visible wires on the house. If you feel the same then this is your solution. I contemplated replacing it with another Trackmix, but I really don't want to drill on the house to run a wire. It does come out of the box with straps for no drill mounting, for the camera itself as well as the solar panel. I bought a pole mount with metal strap for a more secure mount, mounted to the gutter downspout.We had a 12hr power outage last weekend, which reminded me that a big advantage of a solar powered camera is having continued protection during a power outage, but of course your network equipment has to have battery backup for it to provide you instant alerts, though you can of course review what it may have recording during the outage when power is restored if your network equipment does not have a battery backup.The Altas turned on its spotlight as soon as the power went out as it was pitch dark in my backyard. The spotlight looked to be on its dimmest setting, and yet it can see my entire patio. In person it is a lot dimmer than the photo shows. The amount of light the F1.0 lens can capture is awesome. When I woke up at 6am, the Altas still showed 98% battery remaining, and I have pre-recording enabled (though not continuous recording). Power went out at 10PM, so the spotlight was on for 8hrs by the time I checked on it. So it seems you don't have to have ambient light for it to see, and the battery has enough capacity to run the spotlight all night.The Altas did capture the neighborhood cat feeding. Photo attached. It didn't occur to me until looking at this photo - for some reason the font for the clock and camera name are big on the Altas. They are smaller and less intrusive on my other Reolink cameras.Original review:My first Reolink product was the TrackMix which is monitoring the front of my house. That camera is perfect for my needs and performs extremely well. It detected and tracked a cat running fast up my driveway, as well as squirrels and chipmunks which are tiny and speedy creatures so I was genuinely impressed by its detection capabilities.Being impressed by the TrackMix, I decided to try one of these Reolink solar powered cameras for the back of my house which has no accessible power outlet or Ethernet connection. I first went with the Argus. Motion detection on that camera worked fine, though not as well as the TrackMix. It does reliably detect motion on the edge of the frame which is where my two rear entrances are. It even detected that same cat in the middle of the night and recorded it action. However, due to the design of the Argus, it has very limited vertical tilt and it cannot monitor both my rear entrances at once. I exchanged it for this Altas PT.Motion detection on the edge of the frame with the Altas is basically non-functional. Sometimes it would detect when I exit from the rear entrance, but more often than not it doesn't, day or night. In my mind, if detection does not work 100% of the time, it is basically non-functional. With the Argus, the moment I open the rear door it would detect it and turn on the spot light when it's dark. The spot light coming on is an added deterrent. I have two lanterns at the rear, one each by the rear entrances. The Altas with its F1.0 aperture can clearly see my entire backyard with just the ambient lighting from the two lanterns. Image quality is quite impressive. The only time the Altas turns on the spotlight is when I pan it to my sidewalk which is complete darkness at night. The Altas does not have infrared night vision, so without the use of the spotlight it cannot see anything without some ambient light. Nevertheless, I prefer the spotlight coming on with the Argus as an added deterrent.The Altas cannot detect when the neighborhood cat visits my backyard. I know he's visited since I put out food at night and it's licked clean by the morning. The Argus detects and records the cat 100% of the time. The attached photo is from the Argus detecting and recording the cat, and it correctly gives an animal detection alert on the app.One other issue with the Altas is with the home and preset pan locations. I find that it loses calibration on the vertical axis. It keeps creeping up by a few pixels every day, and as a result every few days it would lose coverage of entrance that's in the bottom of the frame. If I go into the app and manually perform a calibration, it would being it back into the frame. This is not an issue with either the TrackMix or Argus.
