This is a Black Friday deal that’s not to be missed. We tested this feature-packed cam earlier this year, and were blown away by its excellent video quality, intuitive mobile app, and extra-long battery life courtesy of its solar panel. In fact, we loved it so much, it took the prize for best home security camera in this year’s TechRadar Choice Awards. Take a look at our full Reolink Altas PT Ultra review for more details.

For serious home security, this pan-and-tilt camera is hard to beat. It comes with internal storage via an SD card, subject-tracking, pre-roll recording, and much more with no additional fees. We found it easy to install too, and Reolink’s app is refreshingly simple to use. At half price in Amazon’s Black Friday sale, it’s even easier to recommend.View Deal

The Altas PT Ultra records excellent, crisp footage during the day, but according to our reviewer Chris Price, it really excels after dark.

“Whereas most security cameras only display poor black and white images at night, the Reolink features ColorX technology enabling full-color footage without the need for spotlights (though in extremely dark environments the built-in spotlights will come on to enhance visibility),” he said.

He also found that, unlike some rival security cams, the Altas PT Ultra practically never generated false positive alerts, which is testament to Reolink’s excellent software.

Another superb subscription-free security cam from Reolink, the Argus PT Ultra is under £100 at Amazon right now. It offers 355-degree pan and 140-degree tilt so you can monitor your whole garden with just one cam. Its extra-large capacity battery allows for continuous recording, topped up via its solar panel.View Deal

Amazon has knocked a huge £65 off the more compact TrackMix camera, which pans for 360-degree coverage with no blind spots. Its standout feature is 8x auto zoom, which lets it pinpoint subjects while its auto-tracking follows them with no blurring. A great option for monitoring larger areas.View Deal
