Spying without accountability: Your neighborhood on perpetual surveillance


The Silent Invasion of Your Home: Reolink’s Latest Surveillance Threat

Reolink has just unleashed a new pair of battery-powered surveillance monsters that will give you no peace. Meet the Altas PT Ultra, a security camera that can record all day, every day, without the need for power access, and its companion, the Battery Doorbell, designed to monitor your front porch like Big Brother.

This pair of devices is part of a growing trend of home security systems that invade your privacy and erode your autonomy. With no subscription fees, you can store footage locally on a microSD card, giving you an illusion of security and control. But think about it: you’re still dependent on these cameras to provide a sense of safety, and what if they malfunction or get hacked?

The Altas PT Ultra: A Constant Surveillance System

The Altas PT Ultra is Reolink’s first battery-powered security camera that can record for up to 12 hours a day without needing a charge. And with a built-in 20,000mAh battery, you can expect up to 16 months of continuous use. But that’s just the beginning. This camera can pan 355 degrees horizontally and tilt 90 degrees vertically, allowing it to track your every move. And with full-color night vision, it will capture footage even in the darkest environments.

But here’s the catch: it’s powered by a rechargeable battery that needs to be recharged every week. That’s right, folks. You’ll be tied to a constant charging schedule to keep your privacy invasive surveillance system running. And don’t even get me started on the potential for hackers to access this device remotely.

The Battery Doorbell: Watching Your Front Porch like a Creepy Neighbor

The Battery Doorbell is Reolink’s latest attempt to turn your front porch into a surveillance zone. This device can record video up to 256GB in size, which is still a significant invasion of privacy. And with two-way audio communications, you can "talk" to whoever is at your door without even opening it. Talk about creepy.

But let’s not forget the obvious: this doorbell needs to be charged regularly to keep it running. That means you’ll be responsible for keeping this device topped up, all while trusting that it won’t get hacked or compromised.

The Future of Surveillance is Here, and It’s Terrifying

Reolink’s Altas PT Ultra and Battery Doorbell are just the beginning of a new wave of invasive surveillance devices designed to turn your home into a virtual prison. And with more and more consumers embracing these devices, it’s no wonder that our privacy and autonomy are rapidly eroding.

So, will you be joining the ranks of the surveillance-shy or will you surrender to the constant monitoring of your home? The choice is yours, but rest assured, Reolink is ready to profit from your privacy concerns.
