Within Wi-Fi range, the Reolink Altas PT Ultra is the stronger battery camera, with 4K pan-tilt video, solar charging and a battery rated for 16 months. It pans 355 degrees and tilts 90 to follow what moves, detects people, animals and vehicles, joins 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year. The Eufy 4G Camera S230 is the more affordable pick and the only one that works with no Wi-Fi at all: it connects over 4G LTE, records to 8GB on board, adds GPS, and is sealed to IP67 against IP65. Neither needs a subscription to record locally. Choose the Reolink Altas PT Ultra for a home yard or driveway, and the Eufy 4G Camera S230 for land, a building site or a boat beyond your network.

What the differences mean

How it connects

The Eufy 4G Camera S230 uses 4G LTE with a data SIM and has no Wi-Fi, so it works where there is no internet. The Reolink Altas PT Ultra needs Wi-Fi, on 2.4 or 5 GHz.

Battery and charging

The Reolink Altas PT Ultra is rated for 16 months on a charge and tops up from its solar panel. The Eufy 4G Camera S230 is rated for about 3 months and has no built-in solar charging, so it has to come down to recharge.

Coverage

The Reolink Altas PT Ultra pans 355 degrees and tilts 90 to follow movement in 4K. The Eufy 4G Camera S230 is fixed, with a 120 degree diagonal view in 2K, so it watches one area.

Storage

The Eufy 4G Camera S230 records to 8GB of built-in memory and keeps recording through network and power outages. The Reolink Altas PT Ultra records to a microSD card you add.

Build and extras

The Eufy 4G Camera S230 is IP67 and adds GPS. The Reolink Altas PT Ultra is IP65, with a 2-year warranty against the Eufy's 1 year.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Reolink Altas PT Ultra owners rate the 4K picture and ColorX color night vision as exceptional and say its people, animal and vehicle detection and auto-tracking are more accurate than rival brands. The pre-recording that shows the seconds before motion is a favourite, as are the metal mounts, the reliable dual-band Wi-Fi and fast, helpful Reolink support. They set two expectations: the bundled 6W panel cannot keep up with true 24/7 recording, so event recording is the realistic mode on solar, and in long freezing spells the battery can stop powering the camera. They also note that Alexa, RTSP and Home Assistant depend on a Reolink Home Hub.
